I had my husband’s 80th Birthday Party for 13 people on Saturday night. Joshua, and Erica helped me to set up everything before the party. Joshua did everything even blew up balloons. Joshua was awesome. Charlene was the waitress. I was so glad it was her serving because she is an excellent waitress. Everyone was so pleased with the service, meal, and atmosphere. Will definitely come back again and ask for Charlene. We all had a very pleasant evening. The birthday boy really enjoyed himself too !!!

Scarpino’s Classic Italian in Bradenton is a true gem for anyone who loves authentic Italian cuisine. From the moment you walk in, you can tell the food is made with passion — fresh ingredients, rich flavors, and generous portions. Dishes like the homemade pasta, lasagna, and wood-fired pizza strike that perfect balance between traditional Italian flavor and cozy, home-style presentation.
What really makes the experience stand out is the service — especially Tom. He goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. He explains the specials clearly, recommends dishes based on your taste, and pays close attention to every detail. His kindness and professionalism make every visit feel personal and special.
The atmosphere is warm and inviting — perfect for family dinners or a romantic night out. The décor, music, and lighting all work together to create a relaxed, enjoyable vibe. And best of all, the quality-to-price ratio is excellent: great food, good wine, and outstanding service at reasonable prices.
In short, if you’re looking for a truly Italian dining experience with amazing food and friendly service — and if you’re lucky enough to have Tom as your server — Scarpino’s is the place to go. Highly recommended!
I really enjoyed my experience!! Breanna was absolutely amazing!! I came in for meatball Tuesday recently and she recommended I get the Rigatoni Ala Vodka to go along. Honestly one of the best meals I’ve had recently. Besides the food, the atmosphere was great, cool decor, Breanna was very nice and attentive.

I’ll cuboid era ottimo !! What a treat, the food, the service, the experience, being in an authentic Italian restaurant atmosphere. The food was so good, BOGO eggplant Parmesan, even without a special the Parmesan is so delicious I can’t stop thinking about how good it was. The Pizza, let’s just say if this restaurant was any closer I would have to join over eaters anonymous. Our server Samantha is a doll, she was on point with everything, even gave us some insight on what was happening at the bar. The bartender and the local patrons were having the time of their lives. What a charismatic group. I did say authentic.
We love this place, plan on making more trips up here to see the local talent live bands and watch the wheels fall off the wine wagon. Food, fun, and best of all, authenticity! Ciao for now.
