We dined here for the first time Saturday 3.7.26 4:45 pm. We made these reservations back around 1.20.26. It was worth the wait. We arrived early around 4:30 and noticed there was plenty of open seating in the bar area. They start you with the most delicious, soft, chewy exterior bread bites. You can tell the plain evoo they provide to dip it is superior quality. It was very bright and fruity. Lirona was our server and provided attentive and well timed service. Food was delicious. Cocktails were well executed. We noticed management was on the floor the entire time ensuring things were going smoothly. We will definitely return. The next visit may be a light bite at the bar. The menu is a very nice size. That along with the fact that the place has gone a lil viral concerned me a little. There is nothing to worry about. This place delivers on quality service and food in a lovely, modern atmosphere. We only have one ding for our evening. I had requested a cozy two top that wasn't in the middle of the restaurant. We were seated at a two seater directly behind the glass door when you enter the dining room from the bar area. We felt subject to all traffic in the restaurant and felt a smidge smooshed. They even carted chairs past us to the bar area while we were there. I would never want to be seated there again. That was disappointing. We giggled upon entry to the foyer at the music they have playing on repeat. It made me smile. read more

I was here yesterday for a bridal shower which was held in a private room. I was not familiar with this restaurant so walking into this enchanted space was such a wonderful surprise! The room is beautiful! The food was really good and the staff were on top of everything in a timely manner. I would absolutely make the trip from Philadelphia to have dinner here one evening. read more

I had the pleasure of dining air on New Year's Eve Upon entry, we were greeted by staff. Everyone was in high spirits and very friendly. As we waited for our table, we sat at the bar. The bartenders were a great time! The restaurant is very large and nicely decorated. Very fun pieces of art throughout. The bathroom is white Lotus themed. You'll hear the theme song playing in the background. There are many tableside options available. We opted for the table side, Caesar salad and table side scallops. Both were absolutely delicious. For entrées: positano coast (good but lacking umph until their garlic herb oil was added separately. Then it was phenomenal), branzino, and spicy rigatoni. The drinks were very good here and the mail was not expensive at all read more

Scarpelli's - Hammonton, NJ Overall: 4/5 Stars We had 8:30 PM reservations and arrived early at 8:10, but didn't get seated until 9:10. The long wait with minimal updates and no complimentary drinks/appetizers definitely started the night off on the wrong foot. Thankfully, the hostess offered a genuine apology once we were finally seated, which was appreciated. From that point on, the experience improved dramatically. The ambiance is beautiful -- warm, stylish, and clearly well thought out. Our server, Kevin, was outstanding the entire night. Super personable, very knowledgeable about the menu, and consistently attentive. He really helped turn the evening around and even treated us to a complimentary Banana Cream Pie. Food: * Italian Sushi (Appetizer): 9/10 -- creative and delicious. * Straight Outta Brooklyn Positano Coast: 10/10 -- perfectly cooked seafood and great flavor. * Tomahawk Ribeye: 8/10 -- impressive tableside presentation, but the flavor didn't quite match the price point. * Desserts (Frozen Lemon Cake & Banana Cream Pie): both 10/10. Despite the rocky start, the quality of the food, the great service from Kevin, and the atmosphere made the overall experience memorable. With some improvement in reservation management and communication, Scarpelli's could easily be a top-tier dining spot. Total bill: $218.58 for two people (including tax). Would return -- but hopefully next time, the wait matches the reservation. read more

Wow wow wow! Came here for date night and was beyond pleased with our experience. I have to start off by saying that the service was phenomenal from start to beginning from the hostess to our server to the bartenders and the owners. (Special shout out to Annalise!) Everybody was absolutely wonderful and welcoming. The food itself was a hit after hit it was really a lot of fun to decide the path of what we were going to have and what meals would go well together. With that being said, it was also really hard to make a decision on what to get because everything looks so great! The most exciting part of the meal was the whole bite of spicy rigatoni, the chicken cutlet and Barada altogether. Also honorable mentions for the sauce that the chicken meatballs came in! We were too full for dessert, but also wanted to hang at the bar to watch one of the games. That was a great decision and we're so happy we feel like we got the full experience. We'll definitely return when in the area and highly recommend for anyone to get their reservations to also have an enjoyable experience. read more

This was the single best meal I have had in my life. The restaurant is beautiful with a floral/natural interior theme with a modern twist. The service is second to none. If you live in New Jersey it is mandatory that you treat yourself to an evening at Scarpelli read more

Excellent service & awesome food. Love the table side options. The music is great also, very nostalgic.

Food was good but bad service is never impressive- not worth going out of your way. Took forever just to get water

I've heard wonderful things about Scarpelli so we scored a reservation for my birthday. We dined on a Monday and every seat was FULL. When we arrived we didn't have any wait at all. The place is absolutely beautiful. The dining area is a bit crammed. The 2 seaters in particular are extremely close together: think bench style - and you have someone sitting a foot from you. Where we were seated it was very uncomfortable with waitresses trying to SQUEEZE behind and around you and the table side dining. The music is very unusually LOUD -club style music to the point where you cannot hear the person you are with talking so absolutely everyone is yelling. Aside from that, the food is good. Not great, but good. HUGE portions. Like I mean HUGE. Food: We started off with the chicken picatta meatballs. Absolutely delicious. Cheesesteak arancini -tons of meat so you get your moneys worth if that's your vibe but virtually no rice. The meat was a bit chewy and dry but it tasted pretty good - the pepper relish was a great touch. Clams casino - we've had way way better. Entrees: My husband had the seven fish pasta.The seafood was cooked well, not rubbery or overcooked at all. It was a large plate but pretty decent but we've had way better. I ordered the risotto americano. It was just okay in my opinion. The sauce was virtually tasteless, and the entire meal just fell flat. On the plus side, if you love large dishes they definitely give you more than you can eat. I could have eaten 4 meals from that plate. (Side note: it was absolutely terrible for left overs it did not heat well. ) We ended the night with the cookie, subpar. All in all, it was just okay - pretty over hyped in my opinion. Aside from the chicken meatballs. Prices were fair considering the portions. Didn't come close to some of the other establishments we've dined at. I would definitely consider giving it another try as nothing was bad, I just wasn't impressed and after 200+ dollars I want to be impressed with more than meatballs. Side note- lots of complaints about birthday music here. I disagree, I actually liked this. Each birthday was uniquely celebrated, with different well known song related to birthdays - I think it was well thought out and very cute. read more

A recent Saturday dinner at Scarpelli's with friends was, on balance, an enjoyable experience -- though not without a few observations worth sharing. We had reservations in the main dining room and were seated promptly. The atmosphere sets a welcoming tone immediately: the dimly lit space carries an upscale feel that I appreciated. Service was excellent throughout the evening. Our waitress was pleasant, attentive, and refreshingly honest with her recommendations -- exactly what you hope for in a dining experience at this price point. The food delivered mostly strong results. A tableside-prepared mozzarella appetizer was both delicious and entertaining -- a nice touch. The Filet Mignon was very good, accompanied by a well-executed mashed potato. The stuffed long hot peppers, however, were unremarkable and felt out of step with the rest of the menu. Now, a couple of candid observations. The restaurant celebrates a birthday with an enthusiastic song and a sparkling dessert procession -- charming the first time. By the fifth occurrence within 90 minutes, it had become a genuine distraction, and feels at odds with a restaurant positioning itself as fine dining. My more personal note concerns the dining room's focal mural, which features characters from American gangster films like The Godfather and Goodfellas. I'll admit I enjoy a mob movie as much as anyone, but as someone of 100% Italian ancestry, I found it a missed opportunity. Italian Americans have a rich and proud legacy -- Joe DiMaggio, Frank Sinatra, Enrico Fermi, Rocky Marciano -- figures who shaped this country across culture, sports and science. A mural celebrating that heritage, or even the beauty of the Amalfi Coast, would have felt more fitting. Interestingly, on my way out I noticed an old black-and-white family wedding photograph hanging near the exit -- presumably the owner's family. That single image told a more meaningful story than the mural ever could. Overall, we had a pleasant evening and enjoyed much of what Scarpelli's does well. The strong service and several standout dishes make it a place I would consider visiting again, though a few small changes could make the experience feel more consistent with the restaurant's otherwise upscale atmosphere. read more

Solid 4.5 stars but will round up for the sake of this review. Service was very attentive but not hoverboarding. Cocktails were made perfectly and food was very good. The prices are a bit on the higher side because in my mind there's a limit to just how good a chicken parm can be made. Portions are very generous but it feels like you're paying 1.5x the price for 1.5 meals. Overall very satisfied read more

Fine dining, 5 star food and service...just expect to pay top dollar! As long as you accept that premise, you'll enjoy the experience.

It was trying very hard to be an "experience" an not focusing on the food. Pizza was great but the table side mozzarella was bland and the ravioli entree and filet were fine. The Italian food needed more flavor and after the 3rd or 4th time the birthday music gets old. Service was slow at times and when we decided we didn't want dessert I quickly gave him our card so it wouldn't take forever to get out of there like I was noticing with the people around us. read more

We received a gift Cert for the holidays and don't know what to expect. We took a chance and didn't have reservations drove an hour and were surprised when we got there at 4 to see a line out the door. First impressions were great with a new clean crisp looking restaurant. We sat at the bar and had an amazing meal with our amazing bartender Ryan. She made us some house cocktails while we devoured the ricotta toast and shrimp and crab ceviche!! Main courses were the rigatoni and ravioli which were to die for!! We'll be back read more

The atmosphere at Scarpelli is very inviting. We ordered the cold antipasto and fresh mozzarella. The cold antipasto was nicely served with a variety of cheeses and meats. Unfortunately, the fresh mozzarella made table side was extremely salty and wasn't a great consistency for freshly made. A lot of attention is focused on the serving of the appetizers and steaks. I think more attention should be brought to the entrees being prepared, cooked and executed appropriately. Our dinners took about 45 minutes to come after the apps. We politely asked when they would be ready. When they arrived, we realized the salmon was overcooked and the risotto dishes were all undercooked. The marinara sauce for the chicken parm lacked seasoning and was very acidic. Dinners were removed and we explained that the risotto dishes were all undercooked. The place is fully staffed and presented as it was effectively operating. I would definitely give it more time to iron out some issues before trying again. read more

Pricey but the food and service was wonderful. Visually the place was very modern and elegant. However I can't help but be very annoyed by the excessive volume of the music. Too damn loud the whole time. It's really annoying and a constant distraction. You should not have to shout to converse with people at your table. read more

Buckle Up, this will be lengthy but thorough... Elegant and engaging, the new restaurant in Hammonton is certainly worth the stop! It was a dark and stormy day, perfect October honestly, and we were looking to meet a friend for an afternoon bite. Having been to the previous site, Illiano's, several times - we were curious and cautious about its new incarnation. The look is modern chic, with some glamorous touches. The menu is diverse but not cumbersome, you won't be overwhelmed by the selections or disappointed by the variety. The service is prompt, attentive and patient. The plates? Well....if real estate is location, location, location - then scarpelli's is portions, portions, portions....and they are hefty. we did apps, salads, entrees, drinks and dessert (our own lil trick or treat nite out) and everything. was. exquisite. read more

Everything was great! Since moving from Camden county to Cumberland county haven't found that one place that is fabulous yet! This place has been on my list for a while! We took the 45 min drive to hammonton and it was the best meal we have had in a very long time! From the waitress to the rolls, food, drinks and dessert! Tiramisu for dessert was delicious read more

Scarpelli isn't just an Italian restaurant--it's a one-way ticket to Rome. From the moment you walk in, the décor sets the tone: warm, timeless, and effortlessly elegant, like a tucked-away trattoria you stumbled upon near the Pantheon. The lighting, textures, and details make you forget you're local. You genuinely feel transported to Italy. The food is where Scarpelli truly separates itself. Every dish is authentic, soulful, and unapologetically Italian. This isn't Italian "inspired" cuisine, it's the real thing. The flavors are bold yet balanced, rustic yet refined, and clearly made by people who deeply respect tradition. What really elevates the experience are the tableside dishes. A rare and special touch that adds both theater and intimacy. Watching components come together right at your table feels personal, old-world, and unforgettable. And then there's Analise. Hands down one of the best waitresses I've ever had and I've traveled the world during my 27 years in the military and after. She is warm, knowledgeable, attentive without hovering, and makes you feel genuinely cared for. Analise doesn't just serve the meal, she curates the experience. On top of her professionalism, she is absolutely stunning, with a natural elegance, confidence, and beauty that perfectly matches and enhances the restaurant's atmosphere. Her recommendations were spot-on, her timing perfect, and her passion for the food and restaurant shines through in every interaction. She makes you feel like a regular, even on your first visit. Scarpelli is unique, authentic, and memorable in every way. It's the kind of place you don't just recommend, you insist people go. If you want an experience that feels like dining in Rome, with exceptional service and food that tells a story, Scarpelli is it. read more

Amazing experience! Our waitress, Elvina, was outstanding--extremely knowledgeable about the menu and made our first visit truly memorable. The tableside service added such a special touch and elevated the entire experience. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend asking for her! read more

Illiano's is always a great place for a bite to eat, now that fall has made an appearance, their menu reflects the flavors of Autumn. Luis at the bar made us some martinis. My husband ordered his usual, Ketel One, up 3 olives. I couldn't decide from all the special choices and finally picked the pumpkin espresso martini and it was delicious. It tasted like fall in a glass... sláinte Luis We move to our table in the bar area, great seating with baseball nearing the final games. We ordered appetizers to share: the apple burrata and the stuffed zucchini flowers. We were delighted by both choices. The zucchini flowers were so good, filled with crab and ricotta,and the burrata was so interesting with apples and honey! Our entrees were off the special menu as well: the Iberico tomahawk was so tender and juicy! The seasonal Rigatoni was a lovely fall pasta with apples, bacon and a pumpkin asiago cream sauce that was so delicious! Pasta and apples?!? Umm YES!! Service here is always incredible as Cheryl greets you at the door and Luis at the bar makes crafted cocktails with a smile. Dee was our server and she knows her menu well and she offered suggestions. She was attentive and funny, making this a great night out! Can't wait for more specials! Thank you Illiano's for a delicious dinner and stellar service. read more

With no such thing as fine dining in Vineland and after hearing so much about Scarpelli, reviewing the website and considering all the hoopla on social media, I made a reservation to celebrate my wife's birthday. The first surprise was that a credit card was required just to make the reservation. While that wasn't off-putting to me, it did indicate that there guys aren't fooling around. However being a bit of a contrarian, I was sure ide find that there was no way this place could ever live up to what's depicted online. Wow was I wrong! We arrived at 5:45 for a 6:00 PM reservation on Wednesday, the 14th. The parking lot was full to overflowing and I began to think that we would have to wait or, worse get lost in the shuffle with the place being so busy - wrong again. We were immediately greeted by two very professional, well dressed young women with a sincere "welcome to Scarpelli" and escorted to our table right under that fabulous mural in the main dining room which incidentally is separated from the bar area. The vibe in the room is fabulous and there is a sense of coolness and sophistication enhanced by the acoustics and lighting. Menus and cocktail list were presented, and within no more than 5 minutes Annalise introduced herself as our server. What a treasure she is who obviously takes her position as a professional and not someone just working while attending college, etc. As busy as it was she took her time to explain the menu, various options and made suggestions patiently answering questions with not a hint of being rushed and made us feel as if we were her only table. We noticed her doing exactly the same thing with her other customers. Management is fortunate in having Annalise perfectly representing their effort to differentiate Scarpelli as the only real fine dining spot in the area. Drinks arrived in no more that a few minutes and my wife and I both noticed that as jammed as the place was, the activity resembled that of a well rehearsed orchestra. Tableside service was going on around us (gloved food handlers) runners delivering various dishes were seamlessly delivering food and 2 executive level managers were very visible stopping to chat with (it looked like) everyone at some point. Our entrees were Atlantic Salmon over spinach risotto with broccolini and cherry tomatoes and brown butter risotto with shrimp, crab meat, scallops, asparagus tips and blistered tomatoes - all prepared and served perfectly. The experience was nicely capped off with my wife receiving a desert laden, ice cream sparkling flair, happy birthday both on the audio system and wait staff singing and a birthday card signed by the staff. Going back very soon for The Sunday with Sinatra experience. read more

Scarpelli hits it out of the park. The renovation is incredible it's one of the nicest dining rooms anywhere. With the food and service to match we tried the table side tuna appetizer it was so fresh and delicious I can't wait to order it again the stuffed long hots were excellent as well as coach Rodio's casinos and we ordered a pizza as an appetizer the margarita it was so thin and crispy delicious. for dinner we had the Bronzino it was a nice piece of fish so fresh and perfectly cooked. The veal chop parm and the chicken parm with vodka sauce were equally fantastic for dessert we had the banana cream pie and cheesecake they were so fresh and a perfect ending to a great meal you have to try this place we can't wait to go back. read more

The service was amazing! Our server was Annalise I believe, she recommended tons of different things and was so kind! The food was nothing short of amazing and was so delicious and fresh! The ambience of the restaurant was everything, we sat on the bar side and loved it! Will be returning! read more

"Had an Aperol Spritz and the time of our life." (Quote from our 'daughter' when asked what shall I write for our review. :)) Illiano's a family favorite. Classy, elegant, casual- however you dress, you can enjoy a meal at Illiano's. They know how to care for their patrons. Servers are knowledgeable and make you feel like you belong there. The kitchen staff - they know how to cook! On our family's most recent visit, our vegetarian friend raved over the eggplant parm. Our sea-foodie enjoyed the cioppino (spicy.) Our gluten free member had the Lamb pops. The three who love ordering the same every time - 2 veal parm and 1 red clams'n'linguine. Our spice lover ate up the Arrabbiata. The pleasant atmosphere, delicious homemade pastas, and the fabulous staff all make Illiano's a great place to eat and make good memories. read more

Scarpelli - Cioppino, red. - Pizza Near Me - Hammonton, New Jersey

Went last night with a group of 6 for a 6:30 res and overall was pretty disappointed. As someone in the service industry it was clear a lot of the issues experience stemmed from lack of staff. We ordered three table side experiences in total, caesar and two tomahawk ribeyes (mw). all of our apps came out in a relatively timely manner, but we sat for at least 30-45 minutes with nothing on the table because our entrees took so long. it was clear that service quality wasn't the main focus as the workers seemed stretched thin between table side experiences and other large parties. There had been almost no communication between waitstaff and even management and table, clearly something happened which delayed our food we just had no clue what, when , or how it was to be fixed, it seemed like they were hoping we were going to overlook it. On top of that by the time the food came, the two steaks most importantly were more than well done and cold by the time it hit the table. In my opinion, the prices charged for something advertised and a "show-stopping" part of their menu was not worth it whatsoever. All that being said, all that was offered and said by the end of the meal was a free dessert. Again, as a waitress it was just very unprofessional for that scale of a restaurant and could have been handled so much better. read more

Amazing dinner, we've been there twice. The service and ambiance are second to none.

The food and service were perfection. The place is beautiful. The only thing I would change would be the volume of the music. There were four of us at a huge round booth, and it was hard to hear each other at times. read more

Food and service were excellent up until we were asked to move from our table by who I assume was the "manager" that night, to make room for another party. Not sure I will be back after our table spent $480 including tip. So hence only 3 stars. Waitress was 5 stars. read more
