Scarpino's Family - Bradenton

I never leave bad reviews, but I am so disappointed. Tonight we ordered take out from here for the first time and it was some of the worst food I?ve ever had. The Caesar salad came without any dressing or croutons, as well as lots of romaine lettuce that looked to be going bad. The Italian wedding soup had no flavor with a watered down broth. The pasta was mediocre. Try Bella Mia instead.

We asked a local about the restaurant and didn?t get a favorable review, but we thought we?d take a chance. The place was busy. There was a band in the back room, singing older music. Seemed after they were done the place cleared out. The food was good. Portions a good size, not huge but not small. The flavor was very good. The chicken Marsala was cooked good. Chicken very tender. Sauce was good. A little runnier than I?ve had before. But it was flavorful. The penne with Italian sausage and peppers was also tasty. Not a heavy sauce. It was a great choice for the evening. The garlic knots were everything people rave about. No skimping on the garlic or butter. Service was ok. Took a while for anyone to acknowledge that we were there, even though we were noticed. But, we get it. We don?t expect a lot of servers these days because we know people are short staffed and seem overworked. We?d come back for sure!

We had a delicious home style Italian meal here in a pleasant outdoor setting. We don't often find veal but we were happily surprised to discover it on the menu. It was so tender that it cut like butter. The sever suggested a full bodied wine which paired well with our meal. All the staff are very pleasant. Thanks for a great experience Scarpino.

Delicious! Scarpino?s may not look like much from the outside, but oh baby do you want to treat yourself. If you?re looking for amazing Italian food, this is it. Our party of 14 was greeted with a big smile, seated promptly. Our app and drink order was taken immediately. Awesome recommendations from our server, Jacob, who was great. Large portions, flavored exactly how you hope, and all 14 of us were served at the same time. Food came out hot! Everything about this dinner was fantastic. Garlic knots, fried zucchini, lasagna, fresh tuna salad, chicken parm, mushroom ravioli, eggplant parm, ziti, pizzas, and everything in between- yum!

We had a delicious Italian house meal in a pleasant outdoor environment. We do not often find veal, but we were happy to discover it on the menu. It was so delicate that it cut like butter. The diver proposed a full-bodied wine that was well paired to our meal. All employees are very pleasant. Thanks for a great experience Scarpino.
