Scarlato grew up in a small suburb of Chicago, where his love of a good story was cultivated by shows like “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” and “The Twilight Zone.” A bibliophile from the moment he learned to read, he began weaving together his own tales at an early age. The absurdity that accompanies the transition from childhood to adulthood only enriched his already profound creativity.

He married his high school sweetheart in 2010 and they live with their daughter, Sophia, and their cat, Bandit.

“Okay, I know I'm a smartass. And you're probably thinking, correctly, that I need to know when it is ideal to keep my wise-cracking mouth shut. But in my defense, my mouth has always been this way.”
Roberto Scarlato, High Stakes Frankie

“That was the extent of my catholic life; sit down, shut up, fork over the dough.”
Roberto Scarlato, Pickpocket Frankie

“But well wishes and hopeful thoughts never did me any damn good. So I had to pull this off. I had to do this to prove to myself, and these kooks, that I was more than I was pretending to be.”
Roberto Scarlato, Pickpocket Frankie
