Scarpino's Classic Italian

First visit here. Initial impressions were very good. Food was excellent. Service was friendly but slow because kitchen was slow. Would definitely return.

Food was pretty great and decently priced. Everyone around us seemed to be getting promot service. However it took a very long time to place our order, get our food and get our check. We did have a manager pass by and refill our drinks. So service was the only issue really. It was also pretty busy, so I get it. Overall I would return again

I have to say that as a chef for over 20 years and coming from brooklyn as well the food made me feel like I was home again. Amazing 👏 The service and atmosphere was outstanding. I will be going back atleast once a week for the food. No other place I have tried even came close and I have been coming back and forth to Florida for over 20 plus years and now its home. If you try the food "YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED"

The vodka sauce is magnificent!! We get it on anything we order and get extra to take home!!! Breanna is super friendly, willing to help and very attentive! Place is bright and cheery, instead of dark and drab. We enjoy the week night specials. We just bought gift cards for our friends for Christmas!! We ❤️ Scarpino's!!

I can't say enough about this restaurant...it was our first time and we will definitely be back. From the time we entered the restaurant to the time we left our waiter A-Jay and staff were beyond attentive to us. The food was absolutely delicious and the dessert was to die for. What a gem to have in the Bradenton community. Please bring your friends and try this place!!

Dinner was delicious! Charlene did a great job taking care of us.

Went with my parents for my mom’s birthday, and paid $26 for chicken parm that I can easily outdo for $10. The sauce was this festering mess of tomato chunks and water that didn’t cling to the pasta at all. The chicken parm itself was fine, but the plating of it all was very sloppy. The bruschetta was basically a heaving pile of chopped tomatoes doused liberally with balsamic. There was virtually no mozzarella cheese to speak of on top, and the thin, crusty, slices of bread they used as a base couldn’t handle the vast amounts of tomato on top, and would fall apart the moment you picked it up. My mom ordered the spaghetti in white clam sauce, which she said was bland and she was served clams that didn’t even steam open. I will take a brief moment to praise their Italian wedding soup, but it’s not enough to change my mind about this place. In three words, this place is overpriced, pretentious, and bland. Will not be returning anytime soon.
