“ Scarpa’s has been around for a long time. When you have food and service that is consistently good, people will continue to support them. The main reason I go is for their dessert though! I would recommend eating only half of your large portioned dinner and take the rest home so that you’ll have space for their torta di mele! It is DELICIOUS! ”
“ Pizza Margarita was good, has garlic so if you are not a fan maybe ask before to take it out. Strong flavor. recomendado ”

“ A great spot for a quick lunch or dinner with some great food that is not expensive. We enjoy sharing a full house salad with grilled chicken, excellent balsamic vinaigrette dressing, for two of us for 15! They have great pizzas and unique pasta dishes - large portions. Definitely worth a visit! ”
“ This is one of our favorite places! Everything is good, and there's such a variety from soup, pizza, pasta, and salads, and they're all good. The main desert they have (torta di mele) is to die for too! ”
“ I enjoyed an absolutely delicious Penne ala Vodka with shrimp here at Scarpas. The food was so impressive, service was friendly in addition to being quite fast, atmosphere was the warm energy of a busy restaurant, in a well decorated dining room. Bottled beer for only 4 was a great addition to the meal. ”
“ We arrived for a late lunch and were seated very quickly. The restaurant had a great atmosphere and was very clean. Our server arrived and got our drinks ordered quickly. We didn't have to wait long for our drinks and to place our order. We ordered 2 kids pizzas (1 cheese and 1 pepperoni), a BLT pizza and a Pizza Primavera. The wait time was very minimal and everything came out fresh to order. Every bite was delicious and we had plenty left over to save for later. Excellent service and food!! ”
