Editorial Review for Scarpas – by Stephen Ausherman
The Scene
Scarpas is best known for its gourmet pizza. These ten-inch meals on a crust are fired in a brick oven with mozzarella and fontina cheeses and an enormous selection of toppings. This dimly-lit brick restaurant excels at more than pizza, however, with equally good house pasta of the bowtie variety.
The Food
The Thai Chicken pizza includes shitake mushrooms and caramelized onions. The Four Seasons features quartered sections of artichoke hearts, pancetta bacon, smoked Alaskan salmon, and goat cheese. No telling which one represents autumn or spring, only that each season is more delicious than the last. If you're in the mood for pasta try it with scampi, basil, and capers in light garlic butter. The house salad is a crisp mix of greens, croutons, tomatoes, and asiago cheese.
Dish to Die For
Many consider the New Orleans pasta with sausage and chicken to be Scarpas' biggest and best meal.

My girlfriend got some sort of pasta and really enjoyed it. I tried their mushroom pizza which was terrible. Just thinking about it makes me sick now. The pizza featured some sort of exotic mushrooms which just tasted really bad. The pizza might have been OK otherwise. There was some sort of apple pastry with ice cream for dessert that was very good. Our server was friendly and helpful.
Pros: Terrible mushroom pizza
Cons: Decent pasta and desert

Scarpas has very good food, the pizza and salads are terrific, and the service is not great but average. The pasta is why I love this place!! I could not possible recommend anything more highly than the Red chili cream pasta with chicken. However the only time i go there is when im in the mood for it. I really wish this buisness would expand on its menu. However what they do have is good and worth checking out.
