Best Casual 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!

As always, they never disappoint! The food is amazing, ambience, perfect! We’ve been going to this restaurant since the late 80s and it’s as good as ever before. Always an enjoyable experience!!

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

The food was delicious the server (Jeremiah) was amazing!! The manager was also amazing(I can't remember his name) the 2 girls at the front desk horrible very rude snotty and condescending. We are from Chicago and we were on a Christmas vacation, we ate here for Christmas dinner. I was very very happy with our pick!! Would 100% come back next time we are in town.

We always start and end our Anna Maria Island vacation, when we stay at Sunshine Cottage, with the Waterfront. Truly exceptional!
