Love love love this place…read more We started off with cocktails and they were delicious. Large martinis served up cold. It was a little strange cuz it was New England night and that's where we come from but we ordered the clams and the asgar go and both were delicious. Cute restaurant even if it is in a strip mall and the waitress was attentive and welcoming. I went with the shrimp and grits and they were the best I've had. I did sample off of a few other plates. The blackened shrimp with pasta and lobster sauce okay was also a big hit. The owner dropped by the table to say hello and make sure everything was okay. We told him it was and they were the best clams we've had and we come from New England. If you're in the area, I strongly suggest going to mean Dean's local kitchen.

We really enjoyed our cocktails, especially the peach spicy margarita. My husband and I both ordered the short ribs over peanut butter noodles. It was OK, they said it was going to be spicy and it was not. After a few bites of the noodles it was very thick, like we were eating a jar of peanut butter. The short ribs were very tender and was super good. Margarita, peach spicy margarita, bourbon, maple, short rib over style peanut butter, marg

Service was quick and efficient, our bagels were out fast and we were on our way. Definitely a great pre-road trip stop, especially with a 6am opening!

Traditional Italian with lettuce, tomatoes and pickles - the sub roll was amazing too. Can't beat the price!!! $9.66 for a half sub (it was pretty large BTW) and a bottle of water. They have a nice butcher shop and all the convenience store necessities. Definitely give them a try, the inside is a throwback of organized clutter typical of a long standing family business.

Went here with some friends who actually recommended it from friends and Yelp…read more The exterior looked like the Italian restaurants you find in a larger city, trying hard to be noticed. The interior was in the same motif, an old school Italian restaurant that's been around for awhile. We had reservations and were sat immediately. Our server came over to our table almost immediately. He was friendly, professional and friendly and explained the menu and his recommendations. Even though the appetizers looked amazing, we opted to just order entrees as they came with a salad and pasta. We ordered 2 Chicken Parm's with a Caeser salad side and their homemade Tagliatelle pasta, Bronzino special and a Pasta (homemade linguine). I was one of the Chicken Parm's. DAMN, it was excellent! Very large portions of chicken and pasta with a tomato sauce that was absolutely one of the best I've ever had in a restaurant! It was thick, tasty and clung to the pasta and Parm. I HATE ordering pasta in a restaurant that isn't drained properly and the plate is a puddle with food sitting in it-and this WAS NOT the case! It was a big ass tasty platter of delicious food. The other plates were as large and delicious! For dessert, I had the Espresso Affogato, again DELICIOUS!!! I WILL be back to try some of the other dishes as, for me, unless they do a really good chicken parm, I won't go on!! Great job by the staff! Our table was constantly bussed, waters refilled and making sure we were satisfied.

Our family visited Scarpinos in Bradenton last week for dinner, and we had a fantastic experience!…read moreThe ambience in the restaurant was nice and the atmosphere was very warm and inviting. Our server was excellent, going so far as to check on us regularly and even to box up our food at the end of the meal. The food, however, was the best part! It tasted very authentic, and the portions were incredibly generous. I'm originally from up north between Philly and Pennsylvania, so we had good pizza up there all the time. But finding pizza that's good down here is very hard to do. I can confidently say Scarpinos' pizza may not only be the best in Bradenton, but the best I've ever had anywhere, including Chicago and New York! I will definitely be eating there again and often. If you're looking for a fantastic authentic Italian experience, we can't recommend this place enough!

Enjoyed an amazing dinner here recently with my father and brother. We arrived around 7 on a…read moreSaturday evening, it was pretty busy, but we only had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated. Once seated, the waiter was very attentive throughout the entire meal. To start our meal, we ordered a a plate of the calamari, which were ok, maybe a bit more rubbery than I like. Side salads were brought out after, which were ok, nothing great, very basic. They also brought some tasty, warm garlic rolls/knotts with the salads. For my entree, I had a tough time deciding, there were a lot of good options on the menu, but I was really interested by the Cacio E Pepe, but it is only available as a meal for (2) which seemed a bit excessive. My brother and I decided to get it together, along with a side of sausage to add some protein to the meal. I've seen videos of pasta made with in a cheese wheel online several times, and have wanted to try it, but this has been my first opportunity. They bring out the cooked pasta, and prepare it in the cheese wheel at the table, which was an added bit of fun for the dining experience. overall it was a fun and tasty meal. Got to try something I've been wanting to for a while. One warning, the restaurant is basically just one large room, so it can get a bit loud, depending on the crowd and how busy it is. But I'd go back, and would recommend this spot to other as well.

We ordered a red berries tea, blackberry smoothie and a leek pastry. All were quite well and perfect. We sat on the cushy couches. They were so comfortable. So happy to see a beautiful bakery like this here. Will happily be back!
