La Scarpetta Italian Grill & Pizzeria is a hidden gem with an unassuming exterior that hides an exceptional dining experience. Inside, the space is nicely decorated, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The restaurant offers top-notch food and attentive service in a spotless environment. The BYOB policy allows guests to bring their own red wine, and the spacious layout includes a main dining room and a more elegant room to the back right, with ample parking available. The staff is very attentive and quick, making guests feel welcomed and comfortable.
The food is truly the star of the show, with standout dishes like eggplant rollatini and veal, as well as delicious pizza with a New York-style taste served in New Jersey. Customers enjoy slices of pepperoni pizza, fried shrimp with homemade tartar sauce, and soft meatballs with crisp edges paired with excellent tomato sauce. The escarole and beans dish is a favorite, done perfectly by the Italian chef. The garlic knots are highly recommended, described as unbeatable and unmatched in flavor.
On Sundays, the restaurant hosts an 'all you can eat' brunch featuring fresh-made juices, pastries, eggs, sausage, bacon, ham, hash browns, chicken, shrimp, fried fish, pastas, and even nuggets for kids. There is also a bakery attached, offering a variety of tempting baked goods. Customers often take home leftovers like pasta with shrimp, Farfalle con pollo, and chicken stromboli, all praised for their deliciousness and generous portions. The owner’s wife owns a bakery next door, which is worth visiting after dinner.
Overall, La Scarpetta provides a friendly Italian atmosphere with excellent meals, friendly staff, and a clean environment. Parking is never a problem, and the experience is highly recommended for anyone seeking quality Italian food in a welcoming setting.
