Description: In a recent review The DAILY BREEZE wrote .... "There are some wonderful small restaurants that dot the landscape of Italy. If you want to duplicate the experience of traveling to Europe without the expense, visit Scardino's Italian Restaurant in Torrance." We are a family owned and operated ristorante much like one would find in the neighborhoods of any southern Italian city. Our authentic recipes originate from all southern provinces of the country. Our pasta, pizza and seafood is carefully prepared each day with the highest quality ingredients available, most imported from Italy. We also have an excellent selection of moderately priced Italian wines and fantastically delicious Tiramisu. The Iorillo Family - Phillip & Pauline along with daughters Tracy & Kristi - and their friendly, professional staff will pamper you with world-class service and Italian hospitality. Our intimate, warm Italian atmosphere makes Scardino's the perfect choice for entertaining your family & friends.

Menu is extensive, food great and the service wonderful.....The delivery (pizza) is second to none. On warmer nights there is some outdoor seating.

In town for business with colleague and was looking for something Italian. Ran across Scardino's in a little strip mall. It was a nice night so we sat outside. We both ordered the veal parmesan and were not disappointed. It was a busy night inside the small restaurant so we were glad we sat outside. Still the service was excellent... More

Trying to find restaurants that "work" for my elderly father can be a challenge, but Scardino's has saved the day for us. A small, cheerfully decorated restaurant in an unpretentious stripmall, Scardino's has offered us excellent, considerate service both times we've visited. We usually order pizza, and Scardino's is very, very good: the vegetarian pizza has lots of very fresh... More

This is a restaurant that is in a strip mall. It does not look like much on the outside, but boy, it is absolutely FABULOUS!! We started with this seasonal salad they have which was outstanding and we ordered an appetizer of bruschetta, which was fresh and delicious and huge! The garlic bread is to die for!! The waitress was... More

The eggplant parmigiania was excellent and the seafood was fresh and well prepared. Although the restaurant is small and the tables close together, the food is very good. The pizza was also very good. If you crave southern italian cuisine (and by southern Italian cuisine, I mean red sauce) this place is the go to place.

The food at Scardinos is good; but there are problems. It is located in a strip mall in a very small store front. There are no booths, the tables are almost on top of each other which makes the place seem crowded and noisy. Unless, you get there early to get an early bird dinner, most of the meals on... More

This is the most unassuming Italian restaurant because of its location in a strip mall... but don't let that fool you. This place is FANTASTIC! We were there to celebrate my aunt's 85th birthday. They did a great job. We had the family meal with a huge antipasto salad, garlic bread, pizza and spaghetti. Everything was so good. My sons... More

Scardino's MUST have the best value Early Bird deal around. $14.95 for 3 courses - a choice of soup or salad for a starter plus garlic bread, about 15 choices for a main dish (all good as far as I've tried), 2-3 choices for a dessert PLUS a glass of house wine. There can't be a better deal anywhere. Somewhat... More
