From the moment I walked through the doors, I knew I was in for an exceptional evening. I was greeted by a lovely group of hostesses who were incredibly welcoming. As it turned out, I got my times crossed up—I thought our reservation was at 5:00 PM, but it was actually 6:30 PM. (Getting old sucks, lol!) Instead of making me feel awkward about being so early, they told me to make myself at home and enjoy the bar.That mistake turned out to be a blessing because I met Daniel and Christian. These bartenders are absolute masters of their craft. They served me hands down the best Negroni I have ever tasted in my life—so good that I had to order a few more throughout the evening!The restaurant itself is a visual masterpiece—absolutely beautiful, aesthetically sophisticated, and gorgeous.Once my buddies arrived, we were seated and taken care of by David and Martin, alongside Marcel the Sommelier. This team is world-class. Every single recommendation they made was spot on, the ingredients were fresh and top-notch, and the food was spectacular. I truly couldn’t have asked for more.Do yourself a favor and check this place out for your next special occasion. It is not cheap by a long shot, but it is absolutely worth every penny for an incredible, elite dining experience. I already can’t wait to bring my wife back to try the rest of the menu!
We wanted to like this place more than we did. Strong start with bread service in this elevated dining setting. Staff were friendly but soft spoken, which turned into an issue when we were seated next to a loud and large group which didn’t seem to wane. The close seating and exceptionally loud neighbors meant we had a hard time hearing staff and even just taking to each other. Wish something could’ve been said to the one group that was standing out in a negative way. The food we ordered was otherwise really good. The bread service was arguably some of the best parts, though. Duck ravioli was good but dry, but the lobster tortellini redeemed the meal. Note portions are small and I’m not sure the price matches what you get. It was made worse with the rushed experience. It felt like the staff was intent on flipping tables - we were in and out in about 50 minutes total which didn’t help the feeling that we didn’t quite get what we paid for. Compared to several other excellent dining experiences we had while in this part of the city, I’m not sure we’ll be back.
We went to Scarpetta tonight to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday. I booked the reservation in advance and simply stated that it was her birthday and if they could do anything to make her feel special that would be lovely. From the moment we arrived we were treated with an amazing level of detailed attention that felt like we were special. Our waters were filled constantly, our questions were answered immediately and with care, and every need was attended to like we were family despite it being a busy dinner rush. The food became almost an afterthought which is criminal because it was beyond spectacular in every sense of the word. My picky wife ate out of her comfort zone the offerings were so good! The sommelier gave a wonderful wine recommendation, and the staff even made a beautiful impromptu dessert for her that was allergy specific. I called the manager over just to say thank you for such a special evening. Could not recommend enough
Everything at Scarpetta was excellent, but the hospitality truly set it apart. I’m big on customer service, and the team here is world-class. We were significantly delayed by heavy city traffic, but the host and management handled our late arrival with such grace and professionalism. I wish I had the names of the host, manager, and our server to thank them personally, because they went above and beyond to accommodate us and make us feel welcome despite the rush. It’s rare to see a team work so seamlessly to prioritize the guest experience. Incredible food, but even better people.
Husband & I went here for Valentine's Day for their Prefix menu, & OMG!! We have told everyone to take their spouses there for the last month. Great experience from start to finish - cocktails were fabulous, ambiance was romantic, & our server was attentive & honest in his recommendations. I will say, after a few drinks, the bathroom is a mission - but still beautiful (as a bathroom can be?) & clean! This is where your next romantic dinner should be!
