scarpetta

i will never come to miamibeachagain without going to scarpetta. the food is incredibly delicious. the bread alone is worth the trip.my wife had the pappardella in a fabulous ragu, and she loved it. she is usually hard to impress at a restaurant. i had a beautifully prepared bistecca that would make the people of florence take note. i heartily recommend this place at the fontainebleau hotel.

italian my favorite!. i know scott,, the chef from the hamptoms and then in nyc. all his restaurants are amazing and the food extraordinary. however, the location of this restaurant is unique. being literally in thebeachmakes a huge dinner. the food is delicious with very moderate portions as it should be. the brunch, in my opinion is the best in miami! cant wait to come back

last month, after an amazing caribbean cruise, we headed back to miami southbeachfor a few days before heading back to vancouver. and although i've tried scarpetta in toronto , i wanted to see how it would play out in the usa. the meal started off shocking similar, with a bread basket complete with stromboli with a side of olive oil, marinar and butter with salt. even the presentation is the same. but armed with the knowledge that stromboli lays at the bottom, i moved a bunch of the other "meatless" breads to the side and beelined it for the meaty goodness. the basket doesn't disappoint, but you have to prioritize!!    we tried the swordfish carpaccio to start which is quite similar in description to the yellowtail primi that we didn't actually try. the fennel is a nice touch, adding some crunch to the creaminess of the swordfish. the next appetizer we got was the beef short ribs. i had ordered the same thing in toronto, but the portion size here was decidedly small. see for yours
