Reviews for Scarpino in Pittsburgh, PA
Had dinner here at the restaurant and drinks in there speak easy below. Service was great even thou like every one they were... short staffed. Shane who served us and was a host and many things in between was great. Food was excellent and prompt. Drinks were creative and well made. Spoke with the owner who is a super nice. This place is a great place with nice outdoorseating. For your late evening stop by the basement bar or speak easy. There is a security check, that said they are thru butprofessional and nice.

I’ll give it 4.5 for the ambiance, but the food left a lot to be desired. We only had the meatball appetizer and a margarita... pizza. The one meatball in the order was the size of a large navel orange and was the firmest MB I’ve ever had ????. The pizzawas mostly crust with a little cheese - quite disappointing. Other dishes that we saw served looked good but can’t comment onthem. Was hoping for better, but so it goes. Sorry no pics ????. Read more
It was great, food was solid and we got a table right away. The dishes are good but for fine Italian they lack a bit of that... thick rich flavor you'd expect. It was by no means bad at all in fact everything was good and proportioned very well. We spent400.00 and sampled a fare bit of the menu so this wasn't just based off one dish but several of their most popular ones. Read more
I have no idea how this restaurant has 4 or even 3 stars on Google. I made a reservation on Resy for a Friday night at 8:45pm... since the prime dinner slots were not available. Walked in right at 8:45pm and the restaurant looked super dead. I guess theydidn't have reservations because there probably wasn't enough staff but also not enough diners to justify that much staff. Ishould've taken this as a sign to go elsewhere. Also I wasn't checked in for my reservation so I look like a no show on Resy,great. SALUMI $25 Prosciutto, soppressata, capicola, pepperoni, figs, burrata, olive oil, balsamic, crostini *large portion forsalumi, I wish we had skipped the pasta dishes altogether and just ate the appetizer which is the only thing keeping this reviewfrom being 1 star LINGUINE CON LE VONGOLE $26 Red or white sauce, littleneck clams, chili, parsley *I picked red sauce whichcame with 5 clams which were overcooked and extremely chewy, box pasta, terrible value for $26 RIGATONI ALA VODKA $24 Rigatonimezzi, Italian sausage, vodka, oil cured tomato, cream shaved parmesean *box pasta, bland sauce, bits of sausage like crumbs sodon't expect chunks or a larger portion of sausage, but this was much better than the linguine con le vongole but still an awfulvalue SERVICE: Our server disappeared for 25, yes 25 minutes at the end of our meal and we could not close out our check so wewere stuck just waiting. I didn't see any managers walking around and other staff just zipped by us every time we tried to flagsomeone down. We gave up and sat in silence from frustration. No I absolutely do not recommend eating at this restaurant. Icould make better pasta as at teenager. Read more
It was quiet for Saturday lunch. We had chicken parm and margarita pizza. Portions are large and enough to share with another... person. Both dishes were delicious Read more
Friendly service. Full bar. Huge portions even the meatball small plate is one big meatball with two pieces of bread in meat... sauce. Sharing is permitted. Pizza is on thin crust but not over filling. Sauce has sweet taste to it. Reservations stronglyrecommended as they are mostly open for dinner. Read more
this was honestly fantastic Definitely needs to be a regular on the menu, one of the best dishes I’ve had in... Pittsburgh. Presentation spot on as well, whoever was running the kitchen tonight did such a good job, the manager nick cameover multiple times to make sure everything was perfect, such a great experience tonight will definitely be back!
