About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
An Italian expression that means “little shoe” – or the shape bread takes when used to soak up a dish — Scarpetta represents the pure pleasure of savoring a meal down to its very last taste. Amongst many accolades, Scarpetta NYC received a three-star review from The New York Times and a nomination for Best New Restaurant in the country from the James Beard Foundation in 2009.

    This was a great restaurant experience. I’ve been to the one in Vegas but this was more memorable. Service was nice, attentive, and not pretentious. Excellent handmade pastas. The tagliatelle was a standout. I had the zucchini ravioli with anchovy - which was good - but I kept going back to my sister’s tagliatelle 😋. Even the chicken was good. Highly recommend if you are looking for upscale Italian.

    I’ve been to three Scarpettas! The NYC iteration serves the best food with the best staff! It was worth every morsel and sip

    Save your money and go elsewhere! My husband and I dined on a Sunday night. We ordered the cavatelli with oxtail, chicory salad, branzino and veal. We got through all of the courses only to be told at the end that they were out of the veal. It never came out. There we were waiting and then we were handed dessert menus. When we informed the waitress that our veal never came out she quipped, we’re out of it. (Would have been nice to know so that we could order something else instead). Management offered no comp glass of wine, no discount off the bill, no other entre in its place, nothing... nada. Spent way too much for ok quality and poor service. Small portions too. We won’t be heading back anytime soon!

    Food is excellent, but everything else not so much. We were seated 20 minutes after our reservation and quickly put in drinks and food since it was after 9pm. They did not bring enough bread for 3 people, only 2. The waiter noticed and offered to bring more, but forgot 4 times. It was 45 min between appetizer and entrees. Between entrees and dessert, they finally came with 2 bread baskets. The pasta was the wrong order. The waiter was very nice and apologetic about the mixup and long wait for bread, so he kindly brought an extra dessert and a top off of wine. As we were eating dessert, they kept trying to take away the bread baskets we received minutes earlier and asked 3 times if we wanted to box it up. It felt like we were being rushed out of there when we had waited so long for our food. The service was especially bad because they were clearly overwhelmed for Restaurant Week and prioritized larger tables.
