Scarpa's Italian Restaurant

Great restaurant! Went with a group of 4 and all of our dishes were amazing. Cute little atmosphere, maybe a little too dark but still very nice. Loved the veal rib, noodles, and fish. The service was great and the employees were very personable. Would be a nice place for a romantic dinner out.

Can't recommend this restaurant enough.
Lakeland has a lot of restaurants, it's one of it's
most charming qualities and something I really enjoy about living here.
I am an Italian from NY, and I've been to several hundred Italian restaurants. I'm very critical of my food.

This little gem is beautiful.
The service is excellent, the food is excellent, they have a good assortment of wines for a reasonable price, and their desert is phenomenal. I have been back twice for the seafood fettuccine Alfredo.
They bake their own bread which is warm and soft and very consistent.
You will not be disappointed with Scarpa's.

Amazing place. Hard to see it from the road..even to see if it is open. But a hidden gem and probably a local favorite. We had a great meal and the waiters were top notch...best we have seen in a while. Will be back for sure.

Totally amazing Italian food made from scratch, seasoned to perfection.
Service is impeccable without being pretentious.
Most impressive since list. Beers are not many but excellent choices.
Desserts are typically amazing and like everything else at Scarpa's, made fresh every day.

After living in the area for over 10 years, and wanting to try Scarpa's for sometime, tonight was the night. Although we weren't aware that reservations are always a must for a Saturday night, we were accommodated without hesitation. Our waiter, Eric, left no part of our experience without the upmost attention to detail. He truly made us feel like we were the only people in the place. The food was packed with a lot of flavor and cooked to perfection.
We are upset that it took us so long to finally try this gem, but we will definitely make an effort to become regulars.
