Best Authentic Restaurants in Anna Maria Island

I’ve been coming to this charming spot on Anna Maria Island every morning for coffee and pastries, which are always fresh and delicious. The warm and welcoming service has turned my mornings into a daily highlight. Recently, I decided to try dinner here, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The food was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. The service was just as fantastic in the evening—attentive, friendly, and professional. The ambience is another standout feature. Whether it’s the soft lighting or the relaxing island vibe, it creates the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. This place is a great, whether you’re stopping in for breakfast or a leisurely dinner. Highly recommend!

Best bite of the week. We were warmly greeted as we arrived and the experience only improved the longer we stayed. Our service was prompt and attentive. We selected the specials for appetizers and entrees along with our favorite meatball surprise. We were thrilled with our menu choices. The stuffed mushrooms were delicious and the filet was perfect with the sauce. But the seared scallops with risotto stole the show.Best bite of the week. They were cooked perfectly. Since that was my husband dish, and I only had a few bites, I may go back again before our return home.

We love Scarpino's. I was afraid a few years back when they sold the restaurant what would happen. It is still my favorite restaurant. Food is fabulous

We had Christmas Eve dinner here. What a wonderful Feast of Seven Fishes! The food was excellent and the service was top-notch. The kicker was the singer, who really made the night for us with her combination of Christmas songs and old classics!
