Family-run since 2013, Scarpa’s hand-makes pasta and keeps a deep Italian-leaning wine list. Frequently named Best Italian by The Lakelander and even featured by Emeril on television, it’s the city’s go-to for classic, polished red-sauce comfort.

We had a wonderful dining experience at this charming restaurant, and the service truly deserves a five-star rating. For our entrees, we chose the grouper paired with pasta, which was nothing short of fantastic; the fish was perfectly cooked and the pasta complemented it beautifully. Additionally, the ribeye steak was rendered to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and expertly seasoned, it was definitely a highlight of the meal. However, I must mention that the appetizer we selected—a raspberry brie cheese—was somewhat disappointing. It lacked the expected flavor profile and resembled plain brie more than anything else. In hindsight, it might have been better to stick with a classic plain brie, which would likely have been more satisfying. For dessert, we opted for the orange cheesecake, but it fell short as well. The cheesecake lacked a pronounced orange flavor unless you managed to get a bite of the orange slices placed on top. This made it feel somewhat basic, and I believe a more robust flavor or an alternative dessert might have elevated the dining experience. Overall, it was a good meal, albeit on the pricier side, especially with our bottle of wine bringing the total to around $200. If the appetizer and dessert had been crafted with more attention to flavor, it would have made the entire experience truly worth the price tag.

Very professional staff. From the hostess to the server we had. It was our 5th anniversary. Never been there before but will definitely be back!! Love this little place but amazing food and atmosphere. We got a corner table and it was perfect for our 5 year anniversary. The manager came over and checked on us. He was professional and great!! Keep up the great work and we will see you soon.

Such an intimate cute place for fantastic Italian food! It is definitely upscale with their atmosphere and food/wine choices. Our server was incredibly friendly and helpful. The food was spectacular! I would highly recommend stopping in if you have the opportunity. Make a reservation though because it is a small place.

This place is a must stop if near Lakeland Florida. The food is absolutely amazing. The sevice and atmosphere are as well. We were looking for a good Italian food place and found one of the best we have been to. The food was top notch. Give this place a try if in the area but make sure to make reservations as every table was taken on a Monday.

Went here for our 1 year anniversary and man was it amazing. Service was spectacular but the amazing food was what made it. Hands down the best seafood Alfredo I’ve had. Definitely recommend for special occasions.

We showed up at 8:20 and we were told that they were already closed. The The listed time is 9:00 p.m. This is not the way to increase your business. People need consistency. We drove 40 minutes to get here to give it a try.... Good luck to you...

First time dinning here. Me and wife really enjoyed the experience! Amazing food and even better service! Will be returning! Well worth the drive to eat here! Ravioli was melt in your mouth and the flan was creamy and delicious!
