   Made a reservation at 8:45. Showed up on time and they said they were closing in 15 minutes. Said we could order but needed to be everything at once. Food was cold and undercooked. Staff proceeded to ignore us so they could clean up so they could go home. Terrible service and food. No return trip for us.

   Located in the heart of Canary Wharf, small, clean and modern.Unfortunately, the young team of 5 (2 cooks, 2 servers and 1 back kitchen staff), Sunday peak lunch period was challenging. We were kept waiting before my family was shown a table and our orders taken. Main point was the authentic meaty ragu was served cold in a large chipped pasta bowl. This place was so much better prior to start of the pandemic.

   Had a lovely evening first time at the restaurant - had a good time. Service/staff we're very professional/helpful/friendly. Sarah & colleague I would have liked more of a selection on main menu.

   Had a table booked. Went We entered we waited 10 minutes to be greeted. Server walked up to us and curtly told us they would seat us in 40minutes as they were too busy. I told her I had a booking and we were on time, so we were then seated. Waited 15 minutes to have our order taken. Waited 35 minutes for food. Had to wait 15 minutes for a bill. The 2 managers spent the whole time discussing something behind the counters, whilst 1 server was in the dining area alone trying hard to serve everyone. The managers just ran around the restaurant and kitchen, ignoring customers. Prices are not worth this kind of service. Though the food was good, when we eventually received it.

   Pasta was hard and not well cooked, one dish was okay, both orders were small portions and second order of bread which was meant to be together was brought over upon asking twice by the time we finished our meal

    I am afraid to say that it took very long over 40 minutes to get the food to our table and me and my guests we didn't like chillies on our food. The staff was welcoming and we had a lovely evening despite there were works on the toilet and it didn't look pleasant. I was also surprised to hear that tips don't go to the staff.

    The service was very good but the food was average. The dishes were a good size but didn’t taste particularly authentic, The arancini was not warm, not sure if it is meant to be but judging by the melted cheese in the middle it is a warm dish.

    A very bad experience Menue on the day different to online menu - Staff not prepared to even change pasta and sauce given it is prepared fresh! Mains had not arrived after 65 mins so we paid for starter and drinks and left. Waitress very unhelpful and unapologetic. Will not visit again

    The overall experience was very pleasant. However, when I booked, I had 3 choices, of seating, which were either, outside, which was obvious where you would be eating, standard, or high top, I have never visited this restaurant before so wrongly assumed this meant up stairs, with possibly a view. I could not find anywhere on the website to clarify. We ended up on stools at a bar type table, not the most comfortable seating for a meal. Also toilets could have been better, with two out of the three being out of order!!!!!! Now having said that the food was delicious. Thanks,

    The bruschetta and desserts were delicious. However, we had to return both of our main courses as the pasta was undercooked. One replacement dish was excellent, the other - the pasta was still hard, chewy and floury. We were tight on time so kept the dish and despite the undercooked pasta, flavour was great. We spoke to another diner who had the same dish and had left it for the same reason but didn’t want to say anything. The restaurant did offer to replace the dish with an alternative, didn’t charge for the dish and gave free desserts - so they couldn’t have done much more.

    Food was pretty good, though I would have liked to see more pasta dishes without meat. Rose wine choice very limited. A group of 4 of us found it rather noisy choice of music to relax to.... Comfortable enough but nothing cosy...

    Service was lack lustre.. waited a while to order drinks. Weren’t told about what was unavailable on the menu. Glass was reused when we ordered 2nd round of drinks, waitress didn’t check to see if everything was ok with the meal then tried to indicate we pay the bill through the barcode which I declined to do and asked for a normal print out which took 2 seconds vs me having to log in and mess around on the app! Food was also not that good either, have had way better at ZiZi and it roughly cost the same price! Over all it was very disappointing which is a shame considering I’ve driven past many times and have been wanting to go as it look s so nice from the outside! It was our first time here - Wouldn’t bother going again, plus there so many nice places in Canary Wharf and with much better service and food!

    Table service poor. Starter plates not cleaned away before mains delivered. Pasta mains poor to say least, so under cooked not edible. Torttolino dry could not finish. Gavi low quality and poor value. Disappointed to say the least. Will not return.

    Service was okay - server brought the wrong dish to one of us. Food could have been a better rating if it came out hot. I expected more from this one, despite Scott Conant no longer being part of the group. The oddest part was when they wouldn't serve an Irish Coffee, despite having Irish whiskey and coffee... what?

    It tries hard to be something it's not. The pasta does seem to be home made, but the sauce was very ordinary. I would expect a beef shin ragu to be slow cooked for at least 3-4 hours to blend the flavours properly and ensure a meltingly tender meat element. This was a long way distant. The service was frankly poor. The waitress tried to take away a plate before it was finished, and was literally hovering around the table to ensure we were going to pay soon. Understood that we were near closing time, but this is frankly impolite. The din from the overhead speakers destroyed any last vestige of atmosphere this place may have been able to muster. So, not great, but it could be much better with a little effort. Train staff properly, cook the food more carefully and remove the muzak and you may have something.

    I love visiting Scarpetta Canary Wharf. They have a pasta dish that is my favourite that I cannot get somewhere else, besides the last time I visited Italy. They have a good selection of wines, although some are a bit pricey.

    The music was very loud! I wouldn't recommend if you go there for a quite dinner. We had to ask for the bill as soon as we finished our plate of pasta because it was impossible for my friend and I to have a conversation.
