Sciarrotta's work is characterized by a sleek and simple style, and many of his smaller pieces feature his signature leaf-shape designs.
During the 1950s and 1960s, Sciarrotta’s handmade silver serving dishes, bowls, candelabra, vases, trays, cigarette boxes, etc.
were sold at the most exclusive American retailers from coast to coast, including Georg Jensen, Cartier, and Black Starr and Gorham in New York City; Bailey Banks & Biddle in Philadelphia; Gump’s in San Francisco; Shreve, Crump & Low in Boston; and many more.
 His designs became known as  “The Wedding Gift of Philadelphia and Newport” and he was often referred to as the "Modern Cellini;" this was also the title used for his brochure, which was given to retailers and collectors and included in gift packages.

 Sciarrotta's work was commissioned for gifts presented by the City of Newport to visiting dignitaries, including President Eisenhower, the Italian President Giovanni Gronchi, fighter Rocky Marciano, and Mayor Delmas of Antibes, France in 1962.
In 1958, a Sciarrotta bowl was commissioned as a gift to Ambassador of Israel to the United States Abba Eban, on the occasion of the Newport Rhode Island Jewish Community's Tercentenary, marking the 300th anniversary of the founding of the oldest Jewish congregation in the United States.
The bowl was presented to Ambassador Eban by Colonel Milton E. Mitler at the Belcourt Palace in the presence of Governor Dennis Roberts.
Also in 1962, a Sciarrotta bowl in the shape of the hull of a 12-meter yacht was presented to Sr.
Frank Packer, skipper of the “Gretel”,  the America’s Cup challenger for Australia.
His bowls were presented as trophies for horse races around the country.
Several of his pieces are on display at the Kentucky Derby Museum at Churchill Downs.
His work is currently displayed in the Newport Art Museum, and his former studio is now an art school run by the Museum.
