Scarpetta is my go-to "special occasion" spot in Las Vegas - birthdays, anniversaries, or really any excuse to feel a little fancy. The view of the fountains alone already sets the tone! The drink menu is solid across the board - great wine list and cocktails that feel thoughtfully done without being overcomplicated. It's an easy place to settle into and linger. Elevated without being stuffy, and reliably beautiful in that classic Vegas way! read more

We've made it a tradition to dine here on nearly every trip to Las Vegas, but this past Friday night's visit was nothing like the Scarpetta we've come to know and love. We started with our usual grilled octopus, which unfortunately was dry, chewy, and lacked the flavor we remembered. The short rib arancini was equally disappointing--it was dry, and the short rib filling was virtually nonexistent. The only highlights of the meal were the bread basket and the short rib agnolotti, both of which were excellent and lived up to our expectations. To make matters worse, the table next to us brought in a small dog. I'm a dog lover and even take my own dog to pet-friendly places, but unless it's a legitimate service animal, I don't believe it belongs in what's meant to be a fine dining experience. This was clearly not a service animal, and it distracted from what was already a disappointing evening. After so many wonderful experiences here over the years, this was the first time we've left truly disappointed. I sincerely hope this was just an off night, because Scarpetta has always been one of our favorite restaurants in Las Vegas. read more

Scarlett's is definitely an upscale Italian restaurant in the Cosmopolitan Hotel. Handmade pastas are definitely a game changer with the Agnolotti made with short rib, bone marrow , garlic, and horseradish, or spaghetti Scarpetta with incredible simple tomato sauce and fresh basil. The Veal Chop Milanese is a stand out and the presentation is picturesque, fried perfectly and cuts like butter. Full wine list with fantastic options and also half bottles of some great wines as well. Waitstaff is professional but they make you feel rushed. Limoncello cheesecake was delectable and a great finish to the dining experience. Great restaurant to try so wouldn't be going back but glad I went. read more

Went there for a dinner. I always like scarpetta and this time was no exception about the excellence of the food itself and the service and n ambience. We started with the tomato and Purata salad. It was well dressed, and the tomatoes were fresh and succulent. Liked the multicolor aspect. The bread was a nice variety of different bread, including some cheese and salami. We also have the Arancini, which was cooked perfectly a beautiful brown sauce in a beautiful Brown sauce The entrée was the signature dish of pasta Pomodoro and it was excellent as always. The bread came in handy to wipe up the sauce. For dessert we shared the Panko Panna cotta Another terrific experience I highly recommend this place. read more

We were greeted by a friendly hostess who brought us to a table with a partial view of the Bellagio fountains. First off a complimentary bread basket with side condiments was placed on table. Next our appie of fried calamari came, lightly battered, crispy and moist inside...enjoyable For mains...Scallops--4 fairly big sized scallops sitting on a bed of lightly whipped pea sauce. They all have a browned crust with a jiggling interior. Refreshing indeed The Branzino fish was butterflied, pan fried, a lil mushy flesh. Service good, quiet ambiance, happy stomach, great evening we had! read more

The ambiance was nice and high class. It had a huge bar area and there are seats viewing the fountain if you want. Service was good. Our waiter kept checking on us to see if we were good. The server bringing our food also was nice. The food was good. I ordered the scampi and my fiancé order the duck ravioli. Both were good and the bread was good too. We got a bunch of different breads. I really liked their gelato. We got these pastry things with a scoop of their banana gelato and the gelato was super yummy. The water was room temp. That would be my only complaint as I like my water ice cold. Overall it was nice. A bit on the expensive side but this is Vegas so everything is expensive. read more

Lovely Italian spot inside the Cosmopolitan that works just as well for a team dinner as it does for a romantic night out. The vibe strikes that perfect balance between upscale and comfortable. We ordered the calamari, arancini, spaghetti Scarpetta, and bomboloni--and honestly, you can't go wrong with this lineup. Everything was delicious, comforting, and exactly what you want after a long, exhausting day at a conference. The spaghetti Scarpetta in particular is a must-order if you love a great, simple pasta done right. Definitely worth leaning into the carb coma here. read more

Scarpetta - Spaghetti - Italian Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Small Italian restaurant at The Cosmopolitan. The view was good if you get a chance to see the Bellagio fountain show from your seat, and service was fast. It's a smaller restaurant than others. Limited vegetarian options: spaghetti, gnocchi, and the tableside pasta for two. Prices are steep for pasta. The truffles were blended into the sauce, and if I'm paying a premium for pasta, I want to see the truffles shaved on it. The flavor profile was good but not a restaurant I would be returning to. Apparently the spaghetti is a go-to for people, but it's something I make homemade, so I didn't order it. The braised lamb shank was also ordered and not really enjoyed. The bread basket was a highlight, and the rosemary focaccia was great. read more

I stopped in here for a quick dinner. Since I was dinning alone tonight the options were bar seating only. I came early so there was plenty of space and the bar filled quickly. The menu has many options and everything sounded delicious. I very much enjoyed the Cesar salad the charred lemon added a burst of citrus to the salad and it was lovely. The Sea Bass was cooked perfectly, but that sauce they topped it with was outstanding. It was light and I can't exactly describe the flavors, but an enhancement it was. The only dish I didn't love was the gnocchi. The pasta itself lacked texture it was a little too soft for me, but flavor profile was excellent. As most places in Vegas I recommend a reservation. The bar was extremely busy and the bartender had many rotating guests grabbing drinks so service lacked but understandably so. This was a great place with a great menu, highly recommend making a stop here. read more

High end modern Italian located at the Cosmopolitan, with pretty nice views of the city. Started with the short rib arancini, really good, almost looked like a large meatball. The calamari fritti was crispy and served with a spicy marinara and aioli dipping sauces. Veal Milanese was tender, and served with a topping of arugula and parmesan slivers, simple but expertly prepared. The gnocchi was served with a mushroom brown butter sauce, very tender and melt in your mouth. The scallops were also tasty, well cooked. The big flavor bomb was the polenta with mushroom fricassee, the polenta by itself was great but the addition of the mushroom sauce elevated it. Worth a visit just to try this dish. Overall great experience, friendly waitstaff and will visit again in the future, most likely for a special occasion. 5 stars read more

This is one of the best hidden gems we came across at cosmo. First, the service was amazing and top tier. The servers are well seasoned and so conversational. My boyfriend treated me to dinner for my birthday weekend here and I was so surprised with how the night went. Our server even split one of our pasta dishes into two plates to share! I thought that was thoughtful of them since they pointed out that we might be swapping and sharing our food. The view made the experience amazing. I will note that I thought we would receive a complimentary dessert for my birthday celebration that day. I noticed that other reviews stated that they received this and a birthday candle. However, I would definitely come back here to share how great this restaurant is. Thank you! read more

We visited for our anniversary. The staff kindly seated us with a view of the Bellagio fountain out the window. The bread service was divine. The calamari was generously portioned. The short rib agnolotti was some of the best food I had in Vegas! It was the kind of food you want to keep eating even though you're full! My husband loved his scallops! I'd definitely go back. read more

Online reservation was easy and you could even put in your food allergies. We started with tuna carpaccio and the capers were yummy. I got the octopus and polenta with truffles. The latter was buttery and filling - I could only have a couple spoonfuls and was full. The gelato was alright. Ciabatta was good - along with the stuffed prosciutto and some sort of pesto looking sauce according to my friends. The place looked lush - the window seat was sweet. We got to people watch during dinner. read more

Had a very enjoyable dinner at the bar. The Caesar salad was very good, and the branzino was outstanding (highly recommend). The bartender was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. The only thing that wasn't great was the complimentary bread basket, which didn't taste especially fresh. But overall, it was a great meal and a very nice experience. read more

Went here for dinner with my family last night and had a great experience. Our waiter was top notch. He explained the entire menu for us and stopped to fill our water probably 20 times.

Overall I had a great experience and would come back in the future. read more

We've been to this restaurant multiple times and every time is an amazing meal/experience. We had 8pm reservations and decided to wait about ten minutes at the bar for a table with a view of the Bellagio fountains, which was absolutely worth it. The ambiance set the tone perfectly for a relaxing evening. To start, we ordered the Caprese salad which was delicious. This time we decided to split multiple pastas and the touch that sets this restaurant apart (besides how delicious the food is) is that they bring the pasta out already split into separate dishes so we don't have to share. It's a simple gesture but a brilliant one. The star of the night was definitely the table-side pasta for two. It was perfectly executed and paired beautifully with the roasted carrots and mushrooms, both of which were excellent sides. Service throughout the evening was top notch. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure every detail was taken care of. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would absolutely recommend Scarpetta, especially if you can snag a table overlooking the fountains. read more

We had a party of 8 and service was attentive and flexible. Good place for a professional dinner. Fav dishes: Starters: short rib arancini was melt in your mouth good. Beet salad was pretty and tasty, but no twist. Pasta: taglioni Nero was a squid ink pasta with generous lumps of lobster meat. Divine! Others loved the short rib pasta with bone marrow. Drinks: French 75 was well balanced and not too sweet Dessert: the strawberry tartlet with gelato was a surprise hit! It is gorgeously presented with many textures and a subtle flavor. Highly recommend! read more

GO FOR THE BREAD THAT IS FREE!! Our bread basket was absolutely amazing and they offered butter, oil and a tomatoes spread with it. We also got the dozen oysters but the size was kinda disappointing. The actual pasta is good too. I felt like it was very filling and delicious but honestly I keep thinking about the bread. This place is known for its view of Bellagio fountain but I was seated not facing it LOL read more

This was - hands down - the best Italian restaurant I've experienced. From the smiling hostess, informative and attentive wait staff, and the spectacular food! I was seated at a window in the corner which had a partially obstructed view of the Bellagio fountains. Scarpetta has the most unique complimentary bread and accoutrements. A variety of warm and savory bread - You read that correctly, complimentary - First Class! I ordered : Beef Carpaccio - 5*. The perfect bite of paper thin beef, arugula, caper and crouton. Cleaned the plate. Calamari Fritt - 5*. Hot, crispy - not chewy - with two dipping sauces. A very large portion, definitely meant to share, I couldn't clean that plate! Cavatelli with lamb ragu - 5*. Best pasta I've ever put in my mouth! Thanks to my waiter who chose this dish. The pasta had the right amount chew with a savory ragu with a depth of flavor that is unmatched. I was so full already I sadly could not do that bowl of heaven justice! I loved the experience so much, I have another reservation for my mother/ daughter trip in April. I can't wait for my daughter to experience the perfection here. read more

What a beautiful restaurant tucked in rather discreetly. With beautiful views of Bellagio fountains and The Strip. We were seated in a very private booth that allowed for easy conversation without the background noise of the restaurant. Starting off we ordered a cocktail. Berry Smash and Italian dirty martini. Both were amazing. But hands down the crowd pleaser was the berry smash. Started off with a beet salad. Each roasted to earthy perfection and bread service delivered about same time. Some of the best bread service ever. Focaccia was delicate pillows with light Italian seasonings. We ordered the shrimp scampi, the scampi was with house made fresh pasta the 16oz ribeye with crispy fingerling potatoes. The steak was charred perfectly and the crispy fingerlings are worth ordering the steak for. The potatoes perfectly crisp and just the right amount of seasoning. Will definitely add this restaurant into our rotation. read more

The atmosphere, the food, the hospitality was at the top. My favorite was the polenta w/ mushrooms. It was pure umame, delectable. And the foie gras ravioli is a must have, unlike nothing I've ever had. It was delicious. For desert, everyone would have to order the chocolate soufle. I'm not much of a chocolate fan ordinarily, but this was the perfect amount of bittersweet. And the caramel sauce that it was lying on was the perfect combination. I would definitely come again for these three items. read more

Scarpetta has 1 of my fave pasta dishes. We came here for our 1st time and for a 7 pm reservation on the weekend, we had a good seat. The ones right in front of the window were reserved, but we had a seat on the row right behind them. We got to watch the Bellagio water show and it was a very peaceful and nice experience. We ordered the Salmon Carpaccio and it was good, but we didn't realize how many olives and capers it had (yikes). As olive haters, this kinda threw us off, but it's our fault for not reading the menu closer. The fish itself was good though after we removed all those olives. The bread basket they give you at first also has great bread. We both ordered the Agnolotti as our main course. It was extremely rich, flavorful, and truly divine. The cheese, the bone marrow, the little dumplings. That's basically what they were. I thought I wouldn't get full eating it, but I couldn't finish. It was extremely rich, in a good way. I loved it. Service was alright, not bad. read more

10 out of 10 experience. Probably one of the most accommodating, well put together restaurants I have been to on the Strip, and in general. It's a dark, romantic vibe with views of the city. Don't forget to give them any dietary restrictions ahead of time. They double, even triple check these down to the tee. I tried the lamb shank with roasted mushrooms, and the amount of flavor is epic. read more

Me and a couple of friends dined at Scarpetta and unfortunately the experience was pretty mediocre. Our server, Leo, could have done much better. We waited about 15 minutes just to get water and had to continuously track him down when we were ready to place our order, which made the dining experience feel more frustrating than relaxing. For appetizers, we ordered the carpaccio, oysters, and yellowtail. The yellowtail was actually pretty good, but the rest were very mid and didn't really stand out. For my entrée, I had the scallops, which were undercooked and disappointing, especially for a restaurant of this caliber. The atmosphere was okay and had potential, but better service would have made it much easier to enjoy. On a positive note, the drinks were good and probably the highlight of the night. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, but it definitely didn't live up to expectations. read more

Tableside paccheri pasta w sautéed mushrooms was so delicious. Warning it is incredibly heavy and filling and definitely feels like it can feed more than two people it was intended so come hungry!! So delicious and worth every bit even though quite pricey the cream was so abundant and flavorful. They had the most complimentary bread but then gave us more to compliment the pasta which was great. Agnolotti short rib rice balls w crunchy exterior was such a surprisingly good appetizer too. And what's best? THE VIEW. Absolutely amazing vibes inside but outside had the perfect view of fountains of Bellagio read more

For my wife's 52nd birthday we spent a couple days in Vegas. She's a vegetarian so Italian food tends to be her go to for a fancy meal. Having tried Amalfi, Carmines, and a few other places on the strip on previous trips we went to Yelp and picked somewhere new to us. We made a reservation at Scarpetta which is in the Cosmopolitan (next to Bellagio, where we stayed) on the 3rd floor. In the reservation we noted her birthday as our special occasion. From the moment we checked in we were treated like VIP's with an enthusiastic "Happy Birthday" and quickly taken to a nice table with a Bellagio fountain view (although we would've loved being right next to the window), Our waiter was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the bread for the table which included sourdough, abd a couple types of focaccia. For dinner we decided to share the TABLESIDE PACCHERI PASTA (for two). We were a little reluctant due to the truffle which we kind of got burnt out on the last few years with all the truffle soy and hot sauces, but we went for it. Boy were we glad we did! The tableside preparation was such a wonderful touch with a knowledgeable chef explaining every ingredient and expertly preparing and plating the meal then telling us the toasted sourdough was perfect to "scarpetta" the extra sauce. OMG the hand made pasta was perfect and this was the best cream sauce either of us has ever had. We were reminded that fresh, quality black truffle is in a category of its own and not to be compared to the stuff that ends up in mass produced sauces at the grocery store. For dessert we shared the AMEDEI CHOCOLATE CAKE which they made extra special for her birthday. The cake was made to order and still hot at its center with a brownie-like density and edges. The Amaretto gelato was a perfect complement and the salted caramel sauce was rich, buttery and perfect. We will be back! Save us a window seat! read more

This is what modern Italian food should be from scarpetta. Some of their pastas are classics and some are unique like the ravioli and short ribs. They combine classic flavors with unique twists, which is what makes this place special. Highly recommend these 2 pastas as they are both rich and filling. Their Caesar salad was somehow exceptionally crispy even though it was well dressed, not sure how they made it happen, but it was also great. The veal chop parm was yet another classic, but executed well with a big chop. It was crispy, but very cheesy and tender. The tiramisu was on point and very creamy. The donuts were very light and fluffy, could have used a little more filling though. I'd go back especially for the ravioli and veal chop parm, perhaps the tirmisu too. read more

We came here while staying in Vegas one weekend in September for our anniversary dinner. Scarpetta in NYC was one of my favorite Italian restaurants so I wanted to try its Vegas counterpart. Scarpetta is located within The Cosmopolitan casino. The restaurant is much bigger than it looks from the entrance. We arrived about 30 minutes before our actual reservation time, and did not get seated until our reservation was scheduled. We were taken to the main dining room area, which has large windows that overlook the fountains of Bellagio. Scarpetta was super busy that night and it seemed like every table was full at 6:30 on a Saturday night. Our waiter was welcoming and explained the menu to us, as well as going over recommendations. In hindsight, we probably over-ordered. One of the things I love most about Scarpetta is their complimentary bread basket. When most restaurants aren't providing free bread anymore, Scarpetta very generously offers a whole basket, filled with different kinds of bread- but all of them delicious. Our appetizers included arancini and a caprese salad. The arancini is a must-order. For sides, we couldn't go past the creamy polenta and mushrooms (if you are visiting Scarpetta, I highly recommend ordering the polenta). I've never tasted anything like their version of polenta. We ordered two pasta dishes to share between us. One of these was a foie gras ravioli which was delicious, but decadent, perhaps overly so. The other was a tagliolini with lobster. The sauce was much lighter than the foie gras ravioli, but it still had good flavor. We had a delicious meal here. I'd highly recommend if you're craving Italian in Vegas. read more

We were able to snag a table with a view of fountains which felt VERY Vegas. It was also nice to see people dressed up and just a more elevated environment. It has historical associations with a celebrity chef however I don't believe he is involved any longer. Every bite was fresh flavorful and tasted genuinely home made. The ingredients also felt like they were elevated and coming from higher end sources. Would absolutely go back. read more

Our last dinner in Vegas was at Scarpetta at the Cosmopolitan. We sat in a secluded round booth in the bar area, but if you want a view, sit in the dining room and you'll see the Bellagio fountains. Our server tonight was David and he was absolutely fabulous! We started with a bottle of Italian red, and then my husband and I shared the charred octopus and also the roasted beet insalata. The kitchen split both items for us. I liked that. The charred octopus with fingerling potatoes was so tender and grilled perfectly. The beet salad came with herb ricotta and citrus, so fresh. I would say they could use more ricotta. It was just a tiny schmear. My husband had the pork chop with red cabbage as his entree. I'm not a pork chop gal, but my hubby said it was flavorful and moist. I had the scallops with butternut squash purée and a green apple & fennel slaw. The scallops had a nice sear and were sweet, and the slaw added the perfect crunch and freshness. David brought us crispy fingerling potatoes as a side, as well as a limoncello cheesecake for dessert, both complimentary. David's personality, our conversation with him and the great service he provided really made our dining experience enjoyable. Even though Scarpetta is an Italian restaurant, no pasta crossed our lips, which is unusual for this Italian girl. It was a delicious ending to our time in Vegas. I definitely recommend Scarpetta. read more

Our best meal in Vegas is always Italian! We have to eat at an Italian restaurant at least once whenever we are in town! We'v stayed at the cosmopolitan countless times but never noticed this hidden restaurant and bar. We were seated at a fountain view window table which was perfect for our date night! The menu was great with good varieties and gluten free options. We have tried risotto and grilled octopus as apps, truffle chicken and ribeye as entrees. Also espresso shots and a birthday dessert from the restaurant. Everything tasted fantastic! Italian really is my favorite food. The service was amazing, we had a great time with beautiful views and delicious food! Glad to know of this fabulous Italian restaurant that we will definitely visit again! read more
