    Okay I came to La for The Price is Right I stayed in the Glendale hotel little odd because we had a AI check-in well she was a real person but it was all through video chat anywho I went right next door to the Italian restaurant and my mind was blown the staff was outstanding the food was 10 out of 10 must recommend this is a hidden gem and I don't think it's hidden it was kind of packed but it was wonderful the price was right no pun intended the food though was amazing I had the something Tino and the person that I was with had the ravioli mushroom arrows fabulous I can't rave about an eatery with this level of taste it was beautiful best thing that I've eaten in a long time didn't even have chance to take pictures absolutely fabulous I promise you if I can give 10 Stars I would

    Wow.. great experience.. food was excellent... tastey.. quick polite service.. ..knowledgeable Theresa... was the best... Classic clean service.. water always full.. no dirty plates to look at... Great classic Italian restaurant... We will be back...

    Cannolis there's a sausage on the side, served on a plate. (I guess some people like it on the side)

    Sunday Night Family Italian spot. Wow. Electric. The place was packed with families at tables. There were other people carrying out cardboard boxes filled with to-go bags. This reminds me of any family style New England spot... you know - "The one in town". HISTORY! Check their website. Scroll to the bottom. PARKING Whether you're just picking up or sitting down for a long meal, there's easy free parking in the lot next door, just east of the restaurant. SERVICE Despite being a busy night, we only had to wait a few short minutes before Anthony sat us at a comfy booth style 4-top. (Reservations are for groups of 5 or more) Despite the busy - it was busy - night, all the servers were great and happy - food came hot. FOOD Bread came to the table, but we ordered a loaf of garlic bread anyway (we carb load hard) STARTERS - get these: The Portabello mushrooms are loaded with garlic and butter. The mozzarella and tomato with tons of freshly julienned basil (oil and vinegar on the side) - it was devoured before a photo. Dinners come with a salad and soup. Salad: Simple salad with dressing (1000 island style dressing). Amazing tomatoes. Soup: A cup of house minestrone? Has wheat noodles in it. Our server switched out for salad because of Gluten allergic people. More food MAINS* GLUTEN FREE PASTA They have a corn based GF pasta that is great pairing with sauces. Eggplant Parmigiana A stack of breaded eggplants with tons of melted mozzarella cheese. I'd definitely get this again. The sauce and garlic bread are a perfect match. I wanna roll up my sleeves and make a sandwich outta it (including the spaghetti). Chicken Rolletini (GF) My daughter loved this. "It's great" Baked Manicotti + sausage My son can EAT, but this is a lot of food! Creamy sauce with the garlic bread is also a super combo. The side "add-on" sausage comes on a plate separately from the main dish (my son loved it). Made awesome leftovers. Pasta Tino (GF) Swapped the pasta for gluten free version. Fantastic sausage and flavor of artichoke hearts make the dish. If you like artichoke flavor - this is for you. *There is a lot of food. We brought home two bags of leftovers for lunch the next day. PRICE The price of dinners before wine was very reasonable. The food - the people - the atmosphere - the family vibe of the customers around you - worth it!! (Also this was plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day!) Dessert next time. They have cannoli. Cmon. I'm stuffed.

    As I enter the restaurant, it kind of brought me back to South Philadelphia. Definitely very Italian restaurant's environment. I suppose I got lucky, I had a great server also. Most of the food is great, except I've had better Eggplant Parmigiana. I expected kind of a flattened breaded eggplant .

    Scarentino's has been a family tradition of mine for several generations now. I've been coming here before I even had a conscious memory, and when that developed, it was of Sam greeting us at the front followed by delicious ravioli. My mom started going when she was a kid and this later became my father's favorite restaurant. We come here to celebrate his birthday every year in his memory. Any celebration is special when it is Scarentino's worthy, (and we justify it a lot LOL). From the stellar service, old school ambiance, and the house ragú, it truly is a special place and one of Glendale's gems. For those local here: if you know, you know, and if you're trying someplace new, you will not be disappointed! My top recommendations are the shrimp scampi, the linguine with clams (me and my dad's favorite), the classic lasagna (my mom's favorite), the eggplant Parmesan, and the chicken Marsala. The minestrone is delicious and I have yet to come across one that beats Scarentino's. They have an excellent pink sauce on request and is my sisters go to for her pasta. Everything on this menu is solid, and if you have room for dessert, the spumoni ice cream and tiramisu are delicious! I've tried many Italian restaurants and Scarentino's has yet to be outclassed. Next time you're considering going to Olive Garden, try this local family owned business instead and let the quality speak for itself.

    Came in and was greeted right away. Staff were friendly and inviting. Restaurant was nicely decorated and intimate. The food was really good. The bread was pillowy and soft. The manicotti was cheesy and delicious. The lasagna was layered great meat & cheese ratio. The Italian sausage had good seasoning and a great flavor. Come hungry and you'll still leave with left overs. Price point is $$-$$$ but the portions are large and filling. The spumoni ice cream was really good and you could taste each flavor. Would definitely come back. A nice touch was the owner came by and recommended a few dishes to try since I had never been here before. Would recommend and dine again.

    Baked Manicotti
    Andrea G.

    First timer here! Absolutely loved the authentic and cozy atmosphere of the restaurant and I appreciated the staff offering exceptional service by being really attentive of their customers! I had the Baked Manicotti. It's exactly how it's described but honestly it sounds much better on paper... It was basically an Italian enchilada but the combination of a crepe and ricotta cheese wasn't it. I'd recommend to order something else off the menu. I'd also suggest skipping the bread since it isn't served toasted/warm, therefore it tastes slightly stale, not worth the calories or carbs imo. Nonetheless, I was a satisfied costumer with the delicious soup and salad offered with the meal, I was not expecting that treat! It's evident this restaurant tries to go above and beyond and for that I applaud them!

    Fried Mozzarella
    Jerry G.

    My mom and grandparents always used to come here while growing up, and now my boyfriend and i have the pleasure of coming here! The soup! The salad! The fried mozzarella! Omg! Loved it all so much, can't wait to be back.

    Holiday decor
    Jeanine R.

    This was my first visit. It felt a little like traveling back in time. Wood paneled walls and dark red booths. Cute holiday decor and a very warm and attentive staff. Classic Italian faire and large portions. We really enjoyed ourselves.

    Pasta with olive oil and lots of veggies. Yummy

    Extremely disappointing experience. Everything we ordered…read morewas excessively salty and greasy. I was especially looking forward to trying the onion rings, but when they arrived, they looked nothing like the picture on the menu. They appeared to be frozen onion rings taken straight from a bag, thrown into the fryer, and served without any care. They were stuck together and poorly presented. Unfortunately, the overall cleanliness of the restaurant was also very concerning. The place did not appear to be properly maintained or clean, which made the dining experience even more unpleasant. I honestly don't understand how a restaurant in this condition continues to operate. I really wanted to enjoy this place, but based on my experience, I would not recommend it. Case in point. Your response actually reinforces my concern. This was never about requesting a refund or simply disliking the onion rings. I was sharing my honest experience regarding the quality of the food and, more importantly, the way I was treated as a customer. I personally saw you behind the cash register today, and I also saw the condition of the onion rings being served. Regardless of what your Yelp photos show or how you normally serve them, you were given an opportunity to recognize that the particular batch being served was unacceptable. When food is clearly poorly prepared, stuck together, overly greasy, or otherwise not up to the standard you expect your customers to receive, the appropriate response is to stop it from being served--not defend it afterward. What was even more disappointing was the way you responded to my concerns. Arguing with a customer and becoming defensive does not resolve the issue or demonstrate good customer service. A simple acknowledgment and professional response would have gone a long way. I am not asking for a refund, nor am I looking for anything from you. I am expressing my experience as a customer and the way I was treated today. Unfortunately, this experience made it clear that the quality of the food is not the only issue--the customer service and attitude toward customers are equally concerning. I will not be returning, and based on my experience, I certainly cannot recommend the establishment to people I know. A restaurant is judged not only by the food it serves, but by how it responds when a customer raises a legitimate concern. Today, neither met the standard I would expect..

It was my first time back since the event. Got here about 30 minutes before closing time. There was only one other customer at the time. Free parking behind the restaurant. Comfortable inside space with interior seating plus exterior patio seating at the front and side. Restrooms are available. Only one gentleman staff was working. He said he was the manager on duty. Thanks Eddie for your service and help. During my order, I found out that their pizzas have a base cost which was about $19+. Depending on what flavors you want, they will charge $6.00 for each flavor you build your own. I wanted half Hawaiian and half Vegetarian. Custom Medium would have cost me $31+ rather than $23+ for Medium Hawaiian Style only. I ended up with the latter and also got a regular Vodka Sauce Pasta. Total bill came to $38 including tax + tip. I enjoyed the pizza very much. Crust was thin. Sauce was tasty. Plenty of ingredients on pizza. Square cuts versus slice cuts. As for the Vodka Sauce Pasta, it didn't taste the same as before. This time it tasted bland as if it had plain marinara sauce only. Slightly disppointed about that, hence, 4 stars! I don't know when I'll be back to La Canada Flintridge as I'm usually not in the area frequently. When I do visit again, I'll have to try their other pizza flavors and pasta plus chicken wings. Thanks Fresh Brothers!
