scarpetta

i will never come to miami beach again without going to scarpetta. thefoodis 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 thefoodextraordinary. however, the location of this restaurant is unique. being literally in the beach makes a huge dinner. thefoodis delicious with very moderate portions as it should be. the brunch, in my opinion is the best in miami! cant wait to come back

credit card policy!. about 6 wks ago, 11 of us ran up a tab of $1800, but the waiter and manager refused to accept individual credit cards. there was nothing on the menu stating a maximum number of cards (which the manager said was 6) and they refused to split thefoodand liquor bills and then use 6 and 5 cards for payment. they expected us to be walking around with at least $200 cash and were not nice about trying to settle the problem. although thefoodand service were excellent, the waiter was a bit pushy, suggesting morefoodthan was necessary - however, because of the manager's attitude and refusal to accept more than 6 credit cards for payment, none of us plan to ever come back (we are physicians and 3 of us live in miami or miami beach). furthermore we have told our colleagues about what happened, discouraging them from bringing any groups to the restaurant.

pretty was goodfood( it's miamifoodis over priced and very small portions). i've certainly are at much better restaurants and the service wasn't very good. the foie gras homemade ravioli were very good, polenta just okay, short rib appetizer was decent, mushroom pasta average a little bland, tomato basil spaghetti was good, my cousin had the filet i didn't try it but it looked tasty. i'd possible come back again but nothing blew me away

our first day in miami, which also happens to be my girlfriends birthday! i was looking for something local but special and i think i found one! firstly, they have a dedicated vegetarian menu - so that was a winner to start with. upon arrival, i was impressed with the setting of the restaurant. you wouldn't normally rate a hotel restaurant that much but this delivered.
service - the wait staff were attentive and catered very well to our needs. i informed them that it was my gf's birthday and they delivered by wishing her a happy birthday on arrival and a candle on the dessert! nice touch!!
food - we had the lentils, yellowtail tartare for starters, risotto and the pork chop for mains and chocolate cake with nutella centre and gelato for dessert! thefoodtastes delicious and amazing!!!
overall, great service! great wine selection! great food!

we finally got around to trying the fabled scarpetta that our foodie circle raves about and took the tongue plunge. the ambiance was exalting, the service impeccable, the soundtrack melodic, and thefoodwas great, too.

after promenading past the seductive bar and the beautiful people drinking at it, we were seated in a luxurious dining area. before we even ordered our fare, a tasty basket with an assortment of fresh hot, straight-from-the-oven bread was delivered to our table, including a stellar eggplant dip, oil and butter. the favorite was a concoction of thin sliced salami layered into the bread with tomatoes.

we ate at scarpetta twice during our stay at fountainbleau. the restaurant is nice, the service very good. thefoodis excellent. everything we had was good.

service with a scowl. i wanted to enjoy scarpetta more than i did. i looked forward to eating there for quite a while. a friend recommended it on my last trip to south beach. i'll preface my review by saying that i was on the verge of a migraine when i visited, so perhaps it was a recipe for the following:

my appetizer was more on the scale of an 'amuse bouche', which was fine after i told myself that "i can afford this" and "it's fine dining after all'. the size and price aside, it was, of course, divine.

what upset my stomach (other than my pounding head) was the fact that the waiter felt the need to keep coming to my table to re-arrange my silverware - by this i mean he would place my knife on the correct side of my plate, etc. i'm normally a very laid-back, easy going guy, but this really seemed like a pompous gesture. i finally gave up and didn't finish my meal out of aggravation and general lack of appetite.

thefoodwas, in all honestly, quite delicious. it was truly a gourmet meal. the presentation, the flavor combinations, etc were perfect. the service was pretentious and rude. i would consider going back and trying scarpetta again. with a clear head and a different waiter i'm sure this restaurant would get 5 stars from me.

top notch meal!. i really enjoyed my trip to scarpetta while staying at the fontainebleau. thefoodwas great, especially the bread. i've never seen such a broad selection. i ate more bread than i usually eat at restaurants. the salad was good that we got. the butternut squash soup was quite salty for my taste. i again got spaghetti which was delicious. the sauce has a good depth of flavor to it and the basil was great as well. all of that tied together nicely with the bread. the service was good too. it was interesting having a chef from top chef cooking our food. i was impressed and would return again if my travels took me to south beach.

great food; but noisy. really, really, really goodfoodand service. no complaints. however; it could not be called a quiet romantic place. really loud when full of customers.

not great but enough. i have chance to taste thisfoodand it's be good but not enough, i find recipe fort this on the other site www.taniczarter.pl

overpriced.foodpoorfoodquality

not like the one in new york.. if we hadn't been expecting top-notch service andfoodlike the scarpetta in new york, this place may have been fabulous. but when you expect the level of service and quality of ingredients you've had at the new york outpost, this place is a little disappointing. however, if you don't expect much, i'm sure it's not that bad.

we sat at the bar, which hadn't been cleaned properly and wasn't up to the standards of a nice restaurant. service was distracted and slow.foodwas average.

friday night my wonderful and amazing group offoodfriends and i had our holiday celebration at scarpetta within the fontainebleau resort on miami beach. we all in some capacity earn our living as professionalfoodand wine writers, photographers and cri
