I guess this place caters to non-Italian locals. The two pasta choices are capellini (angelhair) and linguine - no spaghetti or pene, the two most popular pasta types in Italy (angelhair is mainly used in soups in Italy!)\r

After discarding their pasta choices as an option I inquired about their sausage and pepper sub. Ooops. They slice up their sausage. So much for authenticity. Another dish I had to pass. I figured they could not mess up calamari or caprese,so I ordered both. The calamari was tasteless and the marinara served with it was bland. The caprese had promise, but lacked the dribble of quality, extra virgin olive oil that is the hallmark of an excellent caprese. Instead it came with some brown ... sauce? ... that ruined it.\r

The owners are supposed to be from Italy. I am fairly certain they would not eat anything off the menu. Thus far, it you want authentic Italian food in Deltona the closest you are going to get to it is Vinny's on Elkcam Blvd. I put Scorpios in the same league with Olive Garden, which is a place no true Italian would patronize. Sorry, just a colossal disappointment, and especially so since the owners are from Italy.\r

On the plus side, the service was excellent. My server was friendly, well informed and fast.
Pros: Excellent service
Cons: Terrible food - nothing Italian about the place.
