Dina FierroMay 20, 2014Ignore the fact that swimsuit season is fast approaching and carbo load. The spaghetti is a dream and the bread basket unmatched.
Kirstin BensonJuly 11, 2010The short ribs were the best I've ever had. Seriously, they melted when I touched them with the fork. The spaghetti with basil and tomatoes is AMAZING. The Nero d'arola 2008 (approx. $40) pairs well.
Chef Scott Conant is king! The creamy polenta fricassee of truffed mushrooms cannot be missed along with Chef's signature spaghetti. The food is unexpected and masterful along with a warm dining room Read more
Can't go wrong with any of the pastas, they're all excellent. Chocolate cake is also divine!
Kay TeoMarch 19, 2015Stromboli in the bread basket is amazing. Squid ink seafood linguini is great. Dessert was mediocre.
Janice KApril 7, 2018The spaghetti, which I had heard so many great things about, was terribly over cooked- such a disappointment. The turbot and the veal were pleasant but not outstanding. I liked the vibe though.
Nancy HeOctober 10, 2014Cavatelli and spaghetti. Great cocktails...very well balanced, great flavors.
MayaAugust 24, 2012Killer chocolate cake with salted carmel ice cream. The spaghetti with tomato and basil is pretty good.
Food NetworkAugust 15, 2011The spaghetti at Scarpetta, Scott Conant's seasonally-inspired Italian restaurant is impossible for Ted Allen to resist on Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate. Find more tips at FN Local. Read more
Mike StrockoJuly 8, 2014Get the spaghetti. Seriously, get it every time you eat here. It's that good.
Dustin LeeJuly 14, 2022Bread basket was a great start but everything else afterwards, including the polenta as well as the service, was underwhelming.
Mike ChauMay 17, 2013Try the Braised Octopus - Ceci beans, olives, pancetta and smoked paprika vinaigrette
Jaclyn RDecember 31, 2018Spaghetti and polenta are great but unfortunately terrible service. Rude host and they gave us 3 bags until finally giving us the correct one in coat check. Mgmt never responded to my email either.
n gJuly 2, 2012Definitely have the foie gras ravioli and the salted caramel gelato and chocolate butterscotch cake!
Ada NeylanApril 28, 2011My all-time-favorite campari based drinks in the city - especially the perfectly composed Negroni - a real slice of quality Italy.
F-FactorNovember 9, 2012This trendy, upscale restaurant offers delicious food like their heirloom tomato salad and fennel-spiced black cod.
Ash PAugust 23, 2014Spaghetti will beyond impress you (and I realize that's hard to do with spaghetti )
Jess LuceJuly 8, 2012Ah maze ing service. We timed it. Took at most 30 seconds for them to come to our table to refill drinks, change napkins etc... Polenta was okay. Sea bass okay. Great dessert.
Sandra PecisOctober 18, 2010I suggest the scallop for entry and then the duck ravioli. Flávio suggest the lobster soup and the capretto. Marco hás the tuna and agnolotti.
Yaron Zakai-OrApril 13, 2019Very poor service. Waited for 40 minutes for a table. No apologies on the long wait, we had to nudge the hosts multiple times to get their attention. Gave us lame excuses on unacceptable delay.
Keller Williams NYCJuly 10, 2013Creamy Polenta and Spaghetti, some of the best dishes in New York City.
Get the spaghetti and a glass or two of red. It'll be one of the best meals of your life.- Loved everything I ate here, especially the banana dessert! Polenta starter is delicious but a bit heavier than you might expect.
Emrecan DoganMarch 29, 2010Spaghetti Tomato & Basil is my best pasta ever. Mozzarella in Carozza is a great appetizer. Amadei Chocolate Cake is the best dessert I remember.
Jason KonenSeptember 9, 2014I've never had better spaghetti in my life, and I grew up with an Italian grandmother.- Chintan ShahMarch 25, 2017Chocolate cake, that's it. Very few pasta options for vegetarians and all of them were just average. Would not pay $30 for such a pasta. not worth spending a $150 for dinner with a drink each.
- Janine wetzApril 28, 2010One of my faves. Must try the Raw Yellowtail with sea salt, the imported Burrata and Spaghetti with tomato and basil, delish!
- Cheri MaroneJuly 8, 2011Don't worry if you don't have a reservation, have dinner at the bar. Great service, same menu.
