Scarpino's Classic Italian: Authentic Italian Dining Experience in Bradenton

AJ our waiter was fantastic. Friendly and fun. Our meal was delicious- chicken parm and pork medallions. Shared a bottle of wine! We will be back.

Came here with friends tonight to celebrate the Mrs birthday. First, the service was great! Sam did a great job taking care of us. We ordered a number of different entrées and everyone reported that their meals were great. The Mrs and I split the cacio e pepe, made table side and enjoyed it very much. Recommend you stop in!

Our server, Thomas, was very friendly and helpful with our order. He explained the daily special which we ordered. Personal sized pizza. But oh wow, it was much bigger than we expected. We had leftovers to take home! And as for the pizza… if you like a crunchy bottom with a very light airy crust and a ton of toppings, you shouldn’t miss this place. One of our favorite pizzas ever!

Excellent service! Excellent food! Clean, open location with plenty of parking. Mixed drinks and sangria are top-notch!! We started with drinks, appetizer, and the complimentary garlic bread nuggets. Meats were done to perfection, even @ medium/well..no pink yet juicy. Fish was cooked and not dry. Deserts were exceptional! Thank you Thomas for the experience!!!

This was a very pleasant dining experience. They make the food from scratch and you can definitely tell. They were very accommodating for my family and kind about the mess (kids). Our server Agusto was awesome!

It was thankfully buy one get one free pasta dinners. $22 a plate. The Alfredo on the fettuccine is disgusting but the red sauce and ravioli were good. The bruschetta was so cold on hard bread didn't like it at all. The garlic rolls were good and the tiramisu and canoli were outstanding!! Had the nicest and cutest server Cadence. And an Italian helper was so sweet

My wife and I came here Friday night to meet up with friends. We had such a great time! There was live music in the restaurant, the service was great, as was the food. I had the Shrimp Scampi, and my wife has the Chicken Parmesan with broccoli. The place was packed, which is a good sign that the food is good there, which it was! So, I came back today (Monday) for lunch with a buddy of mine. Our server, Sam, was spot on and friendly. I had the Shrimp Scampi again, which is what I had on Friday night because it was so good! Apparently, they changed the way they prepare it and removed the cream. It is delicious the way they make it now, which is the same way they made it on Friday! Today, I also had the lemon gelato with raspberry sauce, which was so good! We will be coming back here more often! UPDATE 2.0: February 4, 2025 I made reservations for a party of 22 to celebrate my wife's birthday. Sam was our waitress again, and she did a FANTASTIC job getting our orders in correctly, serving us quickly, with a friendly smile on her face. Her and two other servers helped bring out the food. Everyone enjoyed their meals! I again enjoyed the Shrimp Scampi again! This place has become one of our favorite go-to restaurants in Bradenton. The restaurant was packed again, on a Tuesday night! The food and service here are great! Come give it a try!

This spot has become my go-to for pizza and pasta—absolutely delicious! The brick oven pizza has that perfect crisp and flavor you'd expect in Italy. Pasta dishes are rich, comforting, and full of flavor. The owners are warm and welcoming, and the place is spotless. You can tell they take pride in their food and service. Highly recommend supporting this neighborhood gem!
