Location: 355 W 14th St, New York, NY 10014
Cuisine: Modern Italian
Items: 3 appetizers, 3 pasta dishes, 1 entree, 2 desserts, 4 cocktails
Best Dish: I’m not much of a seafood eater but the Braised Octopus was amazing. Tender octopus with just the right amount of smokiness. This was simply divine! The Pancetta wrapped pork chop comes as a very close second. Both items in the same meal are a grand interpretation of classic surf and turf, a must have for all foodies.
Overall: Despite the fancy decor and stylized plating the atmosphere at Scarpetta is surprisingly relaxed. It is like having a meal at a very wealthy friend’s beautiful home. It is instantly opulent and relaxed a good space for a special family dinner or a night out with your favorite foodies.
