Scarpa's Italian Restaurant is a fantastic dining destination known for its tender and delicious food, and cozy, candlelit atmosphere. The restaurant offers excellent customer service, making it a popular spot among locals and visitors. It is considered an upscale place with its inviting ambiance and impressive food and wine choices. The wine selection is ample, as the restaurant only serves beer and wine.
The menu features some seriously fine cuisine, including the highly recommended chicken parmigiana, which is said to be one of the best, beating out many other restaurants in Little Italy, NYC. Customer favorites include the prosciutto wrapped shrimp appetizer, the Grouper Casino Special with Calabrian chili aioli, Chicken Francese, Caesar salad, seafood fettuccini, and tiramisu. The ravioli is noted for being melt-in-your-mouth, and the flan is described as creamy and delicious. Guests also appreciate that all the pasta is made in-house.
Scarpa's is a busy restaurant, so it is recommended to make a reservation in advance, especially on weekends. The restaurant’s intimate atmosphere is welcoming, although some guests have noted that the tables are small and close together. Take-out is also an option, and the staff is known to be accommodating and friendly, even lending dining wares for a more comfortable experience.
The restaurant's popularity is well-deserved, earning it a five-star rating. The parking is convenient, with a closed business next door allowing for easy camper parking. Overall, Scarpa's Italian Restaurant is an excellent Italian joint that offers a memorable dining experience, perfect for any occasion.
