Great dive bar. The bartenders are always quick to refill your drink and take time to learn your name. The prices are also the best in town. You can get a chicken tender basket meal for only 4. Plus it includes your choice of sauce. Such a great deal. The only downfall is smoking is allowed inside and the smell will stick to you.

The bartender was wonderful. The bar is kinda mixed signals, it's like a sports bar had a baby with a marble countertop. The LOOK of it doesn't speak to the vibe, which is a neighborhood hang. The mozzarella sticks were tasty and the shrimp was fried beautifully. A bar food.

Good food, nice atmosphere and decorations, and the open mics are a lot of fun with lots of talented local musicians! I've only been coming here for a few months but I definitely want to become more of a regular as time goes on. Also, a huge thank you for having such a transgender-friendly atmosphere!!! :)

I am a Yinzer who moved out of state years ago to Delaware. I have been going to Scarpaci's for many years! The staff is THE BEST. Every time I come back I make sure always come back here. The food never disappoints. Always great. The Tacos and the wings are AMAZING hands down my favorite! Very convenient location. Just a short walk to the breathtaking over look of Mt Washington. Would highly recommend this place! You wont regret it!!!!

My husband and I are visiting from Maryland. We ordered old bay and honey BBQ wings with fries, and it was REALLY good! The bartender was great and the locals were pleasant. We’ll definitely be back!
