    I've visited twice, once for full dinner and once at the bar. The bread dips melt in your mouth and are worth coming just for the dips. Handmade pasta, great ambiance, they do everything right. I had a dish that wasn't quite what I was expecting, and they insisted they bring me something I would love instead. Amazing service and ambiance. I would visit solo (bar), with groups, date night, or work event.

    The food was good, the ambiance was decent, the service - I'd say half of the team dedicated to our party of three that night - was great. Here's the thing - we were here to celebrate an award I'd received, but I honestly would have been good with a more casual experience, less fussy menu and a quieter dining room to actually have the conversations without having to shout or lean way into the person speaking. But my boss insisted - bless her - that we needed something special to celebrate, so here we are. At least we didn't have to travel far, since we were staying at the Nomad for this trip. We were shown to our table right away, in the overcrowded and very loud dining room. We had two main servers - one that seemed delighted to see us and eager to help, the other that felt a little less welcoming and accommodating. Unfortunately, that waiter was our "main" guy, the one sending our orders back to the kitchen. We decided early on to get a bunch of dishes to share at the table, which was highly encouraged by both waiters. To start, we went with the Yellowtail ($29), which was fresh and light. We also ordered the Charred Octopus ($32) - I was surprised my boss agreed to that one - which was essentially one medium-ish tentacle served over a sauce, with some small roasted potatoes. I liked the flavor and thought the octopus was cooked well. The last Primi dish we ordered was the Braised Short Rib ($29). The meat was perfectly cooked, very tender and juicy. The risotto was a nice accompaniment, but there weren't many seasonal vegetables, as promised by the menu. After a lot of back and forth, we decided to share the Muscovy Duck (essentially a ravioli dish, $62) and a side of the Broccolini ($22) before capping everything off with the Branzino ($89). The duck ravioli came out first, and the presentation was a show. The pasta is made in-house, and you can tell it's fresh and good quality. The filling was quite rich - it also had foie gras in there - and tasted as gamey as you'd expect from a duck dish. The Branzino was flaky and flavorful, though it was a bit hard to parse and serve because of the skin. The broccolini was the surprise stand-out dish of the night, with the brightness from the lemon and the crunch of the almond slices. We made quick work of all the dishes as the team came by to refill drinks (cocktails for my boss and our guest, Nebbiolo by the glass for me) and water. We didn't think we'd order dessert - my boss is not a sweets person and I was already at capacity by then - but then the calls to celebrate started to circulate the table and before I knew it we'd placed an order for the Aranciata Trifle ($25, but the menu says that's for two guests, and they brought out three dishes for the whole table, so not sure if they charged us more for that.) The trifle is made table-side, with the waiter explaining each component as he fills each glass dish before serving. It was cold and soothing - a bit tart, a bit sweet - and the perfect end to a rich and filling meal.

    Cavatelli with truffle

    Stopped by Scarpetta to check out their menu for the last day of restaurant week! The interior is dimly lit and we were seated in the bar area instead of the dining room which was a bit louder than we anticipated. There were lots of people there for after work drinks and food, so it was lively but loud, which took away from the dining experience. I'd recommend asking for the main dining room in the future. The restaurant week menu was solid with a variety of dishes that were all great. The Stromboli bread was a great starter and the eggplant dip it came with was amazing. The fluke was seasoned well and had some interesting texture with the crispy toppings on it. For entrees our group tried the chicken, spaghetti and the special cavatelli with truffle. The chicken was perfectly cooked as it was extremely tender and moist. It was also served with a crispy spaetzle on the side. Their iconic spaghetti was amazing as always, simple but elegant. The cavatelli special was served with a truffle foam which gave it a nice flavor and the pasta was al dente. For dessert we had the chocolate cake which was good, but would have been better served warm. Overall the food was great here but it was just a bit too loud in the bar dining area.

    We come here every year when we visit NYC. The spaghetti is outstanding: I first got it at their Meatpacking location a few years ago, and was amazed by how good it was. The tomato flavor is really deep, I wouldn't be surprised if they boil their pasta in tomato water from the skins. We get it every year, and it's always amazing. This year, we also got the pumpkin gnocchi and the cavatelli, and they were even better than the spaghetti. The gnocchi had a unique texture and shape; it had a great chew to it. Also the sauce was outstanding: the combination of brown butter and rosemary was rich and savory and paired well with the pieces of pumpkin and the flavor of the gnocchi. The ambiance is also always great, especially during the holidays. It's so festive!

    We went last night and were blown away by the food! We had the burrata (5/5) and cacio e pepe ravioli (4/5) to start. I had the spaghetti for my main (5/5) and the trifle (4/5) for dessert. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town!

    Had a nice Italian meal at Scarpetta this past week. The vibe inside is elevated, intimate and warm. The servers were very kind and attentive with refilling water. We started with a bottle of white wine with scallops. My one negative is that the reasonably priced (under $100 / bottle) wine selections were limited. We were able to find a good Soave we liked, but would suggest that they add a few more options to the menu! The scallops were delicious, but heads up it only comes with 2 scallops (which was a bit surprising given the price of the dish). The pumpkin gnocchi was also quite good - would for sure recommend. The carrot cake was ok, could have probably skipped it. Overall I would recommend Scarpetta for an elevated date night or dinner with family/colleagues. The food is high quality (albeit a bit expensive), and my experience was very positive!

    I had the pleasure of coming to Scarpetta for the first time for a work dinner and loved every second of it. Upon arrival, we were seated at our table even though one of the members from our party was running late and it was appreciated. Martin was our server, he came out with waters right away and told us about the specials. He was super attentive all throughout the dinner. For appetizers, we shared the Seared Scallops, Short Rib and Octopus. They were all very good but the scallop was my favorite. It was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. The short rib was tender. We also shared 2 pasta dishes - the agnolotti and gnocchi. The agnolotti was stuffed with meat and sooo good. For dinner, I had the Muscovy duck. It was excellent. I had the chance to try the porterhouse that my coworkers were sharing and it was delish with the wine we ordered. For dessert, I had the flour-less chocolate cake. I know that not everyone likes a flour-less chocolate cake but wow - it's worth trying. I'll definitely come back again as it's a 10min walk from my office and well - the pasta alone was well worth it!

    This restaurant is beautiful and is located inside a hotel, and our waiter was very attentive and charming. The bread service was unique and tasty- I loved the tomato sauce. The food was great: I split the pomodoro pasta and the mushroom pasta with my friend, and both were very fresh and flavorful. The pomodoro was truly excellent and I'd definitely recommend. My other friend enjoyed her agnolotti but found the portion a bit small. While the food was great, it came out within 5 minutes of ordering. The food actually came out before the drinks, which made our experience feel a bit rushed as we waited around 10 minutes for our table. We ended up waiting to eat our food until our drinks came, which were quite potent. We got complimentary biscotti at the end which was sweet and tasty. Overall, I'd recommend this place but the pacing of our meal was subpar for how much the food cost.

    Came for a corporate dinner and forgot I had this spot bookmarked for pasta else I would have ordered more pasta, but was very impressed by all the food nonetheless and glad I got to try a bit of their pasta (which was all so tasty). Ended up getting the steak which was cooked medium rare and done properly (not overcooked as it often is). The lava cake was delicious and I also scarfed down all the desserts despite being stuffed from all the delicious apps. Service was good throughout (tho not sure how this translates over since this was a corporate event) and there was a nice private room for us. The restaurant itself was confusing for me to exit due to the random shop on the same floor before you go up.

    Visited with a party of 6 to celebrate a birthday. The ambiance is all luxury. An extensive menu and wine list, with a large bar that makes very well balanced drinks. The food was great. The pastas are extremely flavorful, the octopus has a flavor I've never encountered, just amazing. The service is first class with several staff, from the waiter, runner, sommelier and even the manager stopping by the table to ensure we were well taken care of.

    Fantastic Italian in Manhattan. Very old school NY. We opted for the decadent duck and foie gras raviolo in brown butter and the squid ink tagliatelle with lobster. Perfectly executed. Great service and super cool vibe in this gem!

    Broccolini
    Gabriela D.

    Ambience was beautiful and nicely decorated for the holidays. Our server and Sommelier were excellent. Delicious foccacia and sourdough to start. The broccolini were crispy and came out quickly. I had the pumpkin gnocchi which was really yummy but more like an orecchiette than a gnocchi. The sauce was delicious. My boyfriend ordered the spaghetti and that sauce was show stopping super light and refreshing probably one of the best spaghettis I've ever tried. Overall great and will be back.

    Gluten free food? Vegan?

    Yes gluten free bread made on demand

    Does this business have a private room for group dinners?

    They do! Not sure what the capacity is.

    Does this place allow or have space for babies and/strollers; including high chairs?

    Dont bother. The taste is subpar and the fees are overpriced. Other than the "romantic" low/dim lighting, i dont understand how places like this justify their prices. This spot is definately for the "trendy" crowd. So dont waste your time and money… 

    Are the portion sizes big enough at Scarpetta? The food all looks delicious but I personally hate leaving a restaurant, especially since it looks like the prices are on the higher side. Beautiful atmosphere just want to make sure it's enough food.

    I'd say the portion is big enough for average people. For your reference, my friend and I ordered one appetizer, two entrees and one dessert, and we were full after the meal. They also serve free bread basket before the meal, and it's delicious.

    I was wondering if they are byob?

    No They have a full bar

    My son and I will be visiting there soon, and was trying to find out about the dress code. I know that it says dressy attire, but not quite sure what that means. Any help?

    I think that business casual is fine. I wore a dress and my friend was in a suit but there were people dressed a little more casual. I think that your son should be fine with a collared shirt and slacks. You can wear dress pants and a nice blouse…

You can either take the stairs or the elevator. If you opt for the elevator, there's complimentary wine set up that you serve yourself. This would be great if the elevator took longer, but you are already there before you can finish pouring. I like that they have couches for you to sit at while you wait for your table. It's an open kitchen and you can see all of the action. The energy felt great here. We ordered the cast iron focaccia and Tuna Tonnato. The Focaccia is probably the best I've ever had. It was light and airy and not what a traditional focaccia would taste like. The crust had a nice crisp to it. It was brushed with olive oil and finished with salt. Just perfect and highly recommend. It came with a tomato chili sauce, which tasted good, but was not needed for this. We ordered the tuna to pair with the bread and it was a great combo. I ended up ordering the hangar steak and it was good. Full of flavor and the chimichurri sauce was a nice touch. Though, I would have like the taste of the beef to come out more. The marinade overpowered the meat IMO. My wife got the Rigatoni alla Gricia. I like the pasta and it was bouncy, but the dish was too salty though. We ended the night with the basque cheesecake and I have to say that it wasn't my favorite. The texture seemed off. Normally basque cheesecake is smooth and creamy, but this was a little lumpy like when you over cook eggs in a dessert. Overall, the service was great and the vibes of the restaurant was on point. The food didn't blow me out of the water, but it was good. I would come back here for the focaccia though.

I happened to come in for Labor Day Brunch on Saturday. We both said we were going to do unlimited but honestly could only finish about a pitcher of mimosa and they only charged us for the one pitcher was the nice part.

I'm not gonna lie, I've never gone to aycd brunch and have not finished my food but I could not finish my entree it was so massive and filling. I haven't had a pasta this rich in ages and it was so so good and I am all for not having those skimpy little portions. He couldn't finish his sandwich either.

I acknowledged that the server doesn't write the menu, but absolutely zero customer service skills. The service overall was lacking. Aside from taking our order, no one checked on us or came back to see if we needed anything. Our server was just hanging out chatting up the hostess. We had to request the bill from the manager & paid at the hostess stand. Before paying, I spoke with the manager and explained what had occured. He was more professional than the server, but he was still dismissive of my concerns and of the service we received. Management seemed happy enough to promote the "option". The food was okay, definitely not enough to make up for the poor service and handling of a serious dietary issue. Needless to say I will not be returning.

The interior was completely packed, and the noise level was high enough for my smart watch to complain. To sample a bit of everything, we shared two orders of focaccia, four pastas, and one dessert. HOUSE-MADE FOCACCIA - 10 Super bouncy with a bit of chew, this was probably the best focaccia I've ever eaten. It came generously drizzled with olive oil and alongside chopped peppers drenched in even more olive oil, which added a nice little kick. We highly recommend starting with this. TAGLIATELLE - 27 Out of the four pastas, this was my absolute favorite. I love the thin yet chewy texture of the tagliatelle, and the bolognese sauce was rich and hearty. Finished with just the right amount of Parmigiano, both the pasta texture and sauce were sheer perfection. PICI 'CACIO E PEPE' - 23 This was such a simple pasta, yet so delicious. It was incredibly creamy and cheesy, with hints of fresh black pepper flavor that blew standard at-home black pepper grinders out of the water. Despite it being the simplest pasta of the night, I enjoyed it immensely. RIGATONI - 32 This pasta was simple yet slightly innovative, featuring sausage paired with a broccoli-based pesto. There was a slight bitterness that was polarizing among our group. While this wasn't my favorite pasta, I appreciated the creativity. PERCIATELLI NERO - 35 This dish packed in more components than just pasta and sauce: plenty of crab, tomatoes, and crispy breadcrumbs on top. However, the combination wasn't very memorable. None of the flavors really stood out, and it was my least favorite pasta of the night. OLIVE OIL CAKE - 14 Served with a pile of golden raisins and fancy whipped cream, this ended up being a bit of a miss. The raisins were a bit too sweet, and the cake's texture was uneven -- some bites were soft and moist, while others felt dry. A couple of others in my group also felt the same way. Overall, I'd give L'Artusi a 4.5/5; it was mostly hits with a couple of misses. The pasta portions are quite small. Since each dish is primarily carbs and sauce, I'd imagine you'll likely need an appetizer or a pasta and a half to leave full. Still, I'd definitely come back for the focaccia, tagliatelle, and the cacio e pepe.

There are several places around the city that I feel can deliver a similar meal and experience without quite as much hype. That's not to say I didn't enjoy L'Artusi, because I absolutely did. It just didn't separate itself from some of the other really good Italian restaurants I've visited. Service was great, the atmosphere was nice, and overall we had a very enjoyable dinner. Just one where my expectations may have been a little higher than the experience delivered.
