Our Story
A Family Tradition Since 1973
The Scarpinato Family started in the restaurant industry in 1973 when owner Joe Scarpinato’s parents, Joseph & Dolly, opened their first restaurant. By 13, Joe’s career as a chef had begun: cooking for catering events out of his parent’s garage. “Since I was young, cooking has always been a labor of love for me,” Joe says. Over five decades later, the Scarpinato legacy is continued in Turnersville, NJ by three generations of Scarpinato restaurateurs at Scarpinato’s Cucina & Catering.
Cooking from the Heart
For Joe Scarpinato, cooking has always been more than a skill—it’s a labor of love. From his early days perfecting dishes in his parents’ garage to creating beloved meals for the Turnersville community, Joe’s passion for great food drives everything we do at Scarpinato’s. Each dish we serve reflects our commitment to authentic Italian flavors and the joy of bringing people together.
Serving with Love, Generations Strong
For over five decades, Scarpinato’s has been more than a restaurant—it’s been a part of the community. From hosting special events to sharing meals with families, we take pride in creating an environment where everyone feels at home. With three generations of Scarpinatos leading the way, we’re honored to continue serving the Turnersville community with the same love and care that started it all.
