"After doing some research on OpenTable, my husband and I booked Scarpina. We didn't know quite what to expect, but we were wowed! We arrived a bit early and Happy Hour was still on so we sat at the bar for a cocktail and some of their bar snacks (delicious). We moved to our table which was close to the front windows (the area I would recommend for seating)and had the best salad I've ever had - tomato, avocado, halloumi with a cumin vinagraitte. We then move onto a pasta course (tagiatelle/short ribs and gnocchi/bolognese) and they were outstanding. The room is great - classy but not snooty. The only drawback was they were playing pop music which didn't go well with the menu, the room or clientelle - but the rest made up for it."

"Initially my friend and I were looking for a nice brunch spot, but after discovering Scarpina's website, I figured we should go for an early Saturday dinner. The restaurant is more than expected in all areas (service, ambiance and food). The tiered seating allows for a more intimate feel and the dim lights don't hurt either! I had a very strong, yet delicious cocktail by the name of Corsica and the hits kept coming! We shared a salad that was one of the freshest I've had in a long time. After this I had the tender Pan Roasted Cornish Hen with creamed spinach and garlic truffle mashed potatoes. For dessert we shared a Tiramisu which was to die for! Overall a great date place, outing with a friend or group setting. Can't wait to return!"

"We had a great evening at Scarpina Bar & Grill. The decor was very attractive and the high ceilings and lighting were a plus. Our waiter, Xavier, was very attentive and the food was very good. We will be back!"
