Scarletti's Italian KitchenItalian done wellPenne with short rib was spot on. Gravy with the bread and/or Olive Oil, nice touch, although the bread was not the best we've had. Chef certainly cares about what he is cooking. Great job Scarletti's!5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMVery Good OverallPro- service, portion size, and food was very good

We are so glad that we did! The food was amazing, the service was great and the value was unbelievable! Such a great dining experience, we will definitely go back! We shared the scrumptious Stuffed Mushrooms as our appetizer and we loved the bread basket served with warm marinara-such a delicious and special treat. I had the Tilapia Milanese which was wonderful. My husband had the Linguine with Shrimp Tapenade and said it was fantastic, spicy but not overly so. We tried the cannoli chip & dip for dessert which was delicious and a very unique idea. The perfect size for a little something sweet with our coffees.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMLove the lasagna.

I was not too impressed with it...BUT the service was great. The people were very nice.3/2/2013 12:00:00 AMFun food but lose the flatscreensDelicious sausage and flatbread, rigatoni, penne with short ribs and tilapia. Server carefully made us some excellent custom cocktails and was very friendly. The two flatscreens that beamed out from the bar out into the entire restaurant completely ruined the otherwise nice interior design.1/31/2013 12:00:00 AM
