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

Scarpelli is a new Italian, fusion style fine dining restaurant located in Hammonton NJ. They've been open for less than a year, but it is very trendy and hyped up on social media. It's beautifully decorated with several artificial lemon trees and vines throughout the bar and dining room. I loved the lighting fixtures and the color scheme too. They specialize in table side dishes which you can only get in the dining room, so make your reservation well in advance since this spot is hard to get into last minute. I had the spritz flight to drink with my choice of 3 of the 4 available options. I had the limoncello, calabrian, and Hugo ranked from worst to best. The flight glasses were larger than expected and these were very easy to drink without a lot of alcohol. They were good, but I've had better. My husband got a hot black tea which he enjoyed & admired the acopa teaspoon it was served with. They brought out freshly baked rolls with olive oil and these were delicious and the best part of the meal, because I felt like the overall experience was below average. For appetizers, we got a single order of the Caesar salad and the table side order of the Scallops Brûlée. The Caesar was very underdressed. The bite I had tasted like straight lettuce and parmesan, so we had to ask for extra dressing which made it better but still a bit underwhelming. It was more acidic than other Caesar dressings we've had with almost no anchovy. The table side presentation for the scallops took a bit of time, and after taking my first bite it was cold and undercooked. I had to send this back and asked for it to be finished in the kitchen. The second scallop dish was very charred and the sugar crusted topping was too much for me. For how delicate scallops are, I didn't really like how over-seasoned these were. The pea and asparagus puree helped to balance the flavors slightly but I wouldn't get this again. We noticed the manager walking around and in past experiences, usually they would stop by to make sure the second dish was to our liking. He stopped at a lot of other tables, including the one right next to us, but skipped ours several times. For entrees, my husband got the pork chop at the waitress's recommendation. I got the chicken parm which was served with a side of pasta in marinara and the chicken parm had both vodka sauce and marinara. This was one of the most under seasoned dishes I've had at a fine dining restaurant. The marinara was runny, and there was no fresh basil on top either. It's like they forgot salt completely and I've had better chicken parm's at mom & pop pizza shops. The cavatelli pasta with marinara sauce was also bland and I only had two bites. The pork chop on the other hand was flavorful and juicy, but after having one of the most incredible pork chops in Ventnor, this just wasn't that memorable in comparison. The presentation looked like it was a Mexican fajitas dish. I was expecting something more refined, and you could see all the pepper juice swimming around the mashed sweet potatoes. This was our first time here and we were celebrating a birthday but we opted out of the free dessert and sparkler since loud music and attention is the last thing my husband wants, so maybe that's why the manager didn't stop by. Who knows? They did gift us with a signed card which was a nice touch. We enjoyed the rapport from all the staff we did encounter. The waitress was very friendly and personable. The table bussers made funny jokes and were very surprised we didn't want to take home any of our half eaten entrees, but it just wasn't worth taking. read more

Went there the other night: Service not great they have 18 yr olds as the hosts and waitress / waiters that dont care 0 customer service, most importantly our waitress didn't tell us it's family style the portion of were huge so everybody had their own entrée plus another one Ambiance inside was cool but super loud, alot of birthdays and everytime i was trying to talk they played 90s rap music as loud as they could couldnt hear the person next to me Why they mix mexican food and italian together on is very strange and it should be taken off the menu I never had ceviche before Italian restaurant Ceviche was ok the only thing i tasted was tomatoe sauce nothing else, why they put mango instead is beyond me it didnt mix well with the the tomatoe sauce inside. They only gave you 5 pre made chips for the table. Thai Calamari was ok - tender but they just threw bottled thai sauce all over it, it was way to sweet and took away the flavor of the calamari The table side experiences are unnecessary the place is too small for it and they arent using good quality ingredients for it. The spanish lady with the glasses making it didnt even talk the entire time, she explained nothing and the energy was nothing. Not good quality mustard, she took some bowl out of the bottom of the tray with already grated cheese which is weird, they couldnt even freshly grate it, and the bread crumbs on top were just stupid, it tasted like seasoned sandy salty breadcrumbs on top no texture what so ever make real croutons and use them Homemade buratta ravioli why would you put Buratta inside of a ravioli for, it was wet it was barely melted there was no lemon flavor no sauce it just tasted like low quality butter and the pancetta on top was unnecessary It was already too salty as it is Spicy rigatoni just OK premade rigatoni out of the box not enough sauce Airline chicken just OK asparagus were too hard the sauce literally tasted like nothing, and the chicken wasn't seasoned at all Mexican crabcake just OK, once again why are you mixing Mexican and Italian just because you're in hammonton irs weird and should be off the menu Overall 3.5 out of 10 overhyped under delivered super loud and not worth the menu this is a one time thing for me i would give this place maybe 2-3 years if not sooner before they close down trying to be something there not unfortunately. 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 - The Italian-American, a cavatelli pasta in garlic & oil with Italian sausage & broccoli rabe, topped with melted burrata. - Pizza Near Me - Hammonton, New Jersey

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

Came here for first time on Saturday night. Service an atmosphere was good. You have to make a reservation so please make sure you do that. Ambience is excellent. make sure you try the scallops as an appetizer they were awesome. Definitely try the raviolis. The fillet steak came out cooked perfectly. The chicken Parm is enough for two people. Overall, this is an excellent place to come.

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

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

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

We received a gift Cert for the holidays and don't know what to expect.

Scarpelli - Pizza Near Me - Hammonton, New Jersey

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.

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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
