"The food was incredible; the service was poor enough to make me hesitate recommending this restaurant. Our waiter was slow to appear, but became a little more attentive through the wine and appetizers. Unfortunately, the wait between appetizers and main course was so long that we began contemplating searching for our server (and it was a relatively slow Sunday evening). The wait for the check was even longer. Finally, we were double billed on a credit card with two dinner charges; one charge did not even resemble our bill amount. For a top end restaurant, there were too many disappointments to make me give it an excellent review even thought the food was outstanding."

"I dined at Scarpetta's Miami restaurant with my wife and daughter. Varied and interesting menu--great ambiance and terriific meal.
I started with a creamy polenta, which was very nice, followed by the duck and foie gras ravioli in a marsala reduction. Looking forward to trying other menu items on my next visit. Service was effieinet and our server knowledgable."

"Taste was great but the portions are tiny. Our pasta dishes could have used at least 5 more ravioli's, and we're not large people. We ended up sharing two deserts because we were still kind of hungry. We ordered the two pasta specials, which were with truffle oil and quite pricey (at $65) for the portions. I would recommend for a special evening or if you are staying at the Fontainebleau, but otherwise there are many other places in Miami where value and price are more aligned."

"Every dish we ate was incredible. Particularly the polenta, special ravioli and duck. Overall a wonderful experience. The only drawback was a pretentious waiter allegedly from France who wasn't accommodating, randomly showed our table personal, strange YouTube videos and wouldn't accept 8 credit cards (the limit was 7). Lose the fake French waiter and you've got an incredible restaurant expletive. Worth every penny."

"We've wanted to try Scarpetta in New York for a while but always seem to get distracted by the other great restaurants. We were in Miami and decided we'd give his other location a try. Had to try the signature dishes, Spaghetti with Tomato Basil and Truffle Polenta. All we expected and more. My daughter appreciated the quail egg on the Steak tartare. The service was fantastic, the Someiller was very helpful and they have a great wine list. All in all a great restaurant for a special occasion."

"We dined at Scarpetta in the Fountainbleau our table was ready on time and we had a nice view of the ocean. We shared the farm salad it was pretty plain nothing to get excited about. I had the Sirloin it was cooked to the right temperature but arrived at the table a little on the warm to cool side. It had a hint of smoke would have like to have gotten a little more of it. The brussel sprouts were really good I was never a big fan but these were prepared nicely and had great flavor. The desert was good had the chocolate one the other couple had the zeppoles and said they enjoyed them. The lobby bar scene was great always enjoy the vibe there."

"Our third time visiting Scarpetta and it was just as good as the past two visits. Fabulous food!! We shared the polenta, and short ribs for appetizers. I had the spaghetti which was cooked perfectly but better yet, tasted like nothing you have ever had. I think it is the best dish there. Cooked al dente with a FANTASTIC tomato based sauce. I think the reason it tastes so good is the quality of the tomatoes, and a very slight touch of cream and butter (I think). My wife had the duck which was excellent. I could go on and on but you have to try it."

"The hostess were great considering we had to wait 30 minutes for our reservation. But the bartender Laura was amazing. I had the Torino drink, which she recommended and it was amazing. When we got to our table, our service was pretty below par. Had no personality and acted like he was doing us a favor whenever he came by. After our entrees we waited 30 minutes for our espressos and when we tried waving him down asking if our espressos were on the way he could have simply apologized and said he forgot and that they were almost done. ? Again, like he's doing us a favor for getting them. Every other aspect of our experience at Scarpetta was incredible. Unbelievable food, and the other staff were very friendly and accommodating."

If you don't do the tasting the signature spaghetti and signature mushroom pallenta are not to be missed which is something us foodies would have never ordered as anyone can make spaghetti and pollenta is just not a fav but trust me youu have never had it like this before!! We like northern Italian and this was definitely ome of the best we have had!"

"Really, an excellent choice. The chef takes Italian food to a new level with culinary skills influenced by both the Italians and the French. Even the most mundane of dishes, are so carefully prepared, I imagine it took years to perfect. Very romantic, a bit pricey, but compared to the service and quality, and location of the restaurant, it's well worth it. I've seen children there before, but the restaurant is really geared toward adults--not just couples either. Large parties, double-dating, etc. are all welcomed at Scarpetta."

"At first take, you'll notice that Scarpetta is dimly lit. So much so, that I pulled out my iphone to read the menu and the table next to us used the candle light on the table to read the menu.
We had the chef's tasting with wine pairings and it was really worth the cost. All of the courses were good, but particularly the yellowtail with pink Hawaiian salt, the creamy polenta with wild mushrooms and the salted caramel for desert.
My only complaint about the service was when we asked what a 'fricasse' was and got that it 'was a method of cooking' Duh!
Overall, I'd go back for a special occasion...armed with a head lamp."

"We like to eat well...and this might be the best of the best! To start both our server and sommelier were outstanding...they were informative and interesting to talk to about the restaurant, the menu, and the wine list. We already knew the basil pasta was a must have from the ten or so folks who told us this dish was not to be missed. So we let our server guide us to a tuna appetizer and the heirloom tomato salad...seems like simple food...but each bite was better than the next. The basil pasta might be the true mouthwatering dish of the night though...seemingly just a pasta dish, but this was the most flavorful and fragrant dish I have eaten in a long time. Everything else was perfect, but it was that pasta that will have me back again!"

"I've been to the NYC Scarpetta and loved this experience even more. The service was impeccable and the food was amazing. The spaghetti and duck ravioli were our favorites but it was hard to decide when the branzino and the duck entrees were so delicious. Thanks for a great night!"

"Scarpetta continues to upgrade their menu while retaining great classics. By merely changing the side dishes with the raosted chicken they elevate it to a gourmet treat! The new pastas, like English Pea ravioli, are amazing and the refined Tuna Bresaola was moist, tender and full of flavor even as it melts in your mouth. Despite the busy and always full dining room the service and attention to detail are meticulous. Worth a ride to the beautiful Fontainbleu. Discounted valet parking is always quick and courteous."

"We really enjoyed dining at Scarpetta and thought it was one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. Other than one appetizer, which (in our view) was not prepared properly, the food was well cooked, beautifully presented, and delicious. The service was also attentive and truly inspired. We would definitely go back, and since we live in the NYC area, we look forward to trying the location in Manhattan."

"What is all the Fuss about?? The portions are not only small, they are not very good either! The Octopus appetizer at $17 consisted of ONE 2in piece of Octopus. The portions were bigger and tasted better at Il Mulino and Micos to name a few. The Fritto Misto was missing any sign of seafood. The main portion Swordfish was OK of what there was of it. Really not what it is played out to be! Many better restaurants in Miami Beach!"

"Unless you are a foodie wishing to be influenced by pretentiousness, don't waste your time or money. The food was nothing special and there were two dishes that were completely inedible. I ate less than a third of my dish, but the waiter never came back to inquire, nor did the kitchen even bother to ask why. The portions are tiny compared to the price and although the waiter expressed that the quality of the food was unbelievable, it was not. If you want to spend $300 for two dinners, go somewhere else unless your plan is to get mediocre service with a touch of pretentious snobbery and still leave hungry."

"Food was excellent and well-presented. Our waiter was terrific. The host/hostess seemed a bit confused and took far longer to seat us than was necessary. The restaurant needs a dress code - we were dressed fashionably for a fancy, upscale meal and found ourselves sitting next to a table of 7 guys in shorts, t-shirts and flip flops."

"IVE BEEN HERE MANY TIMES, THIS LAST OCCASION WAS A MAJOR LET DOWN. THE MOZZARELLA ENCAROZA TASTED LIKE A REHEATED MOZZARELLA STICK FROM A DINER. THE FARO GRAIN DISH HAD ZERO FLAVOR. THE ONLY DISH THAT TASTED WELL WAS AN OFF THE MENU ARUGULA/SLICED PARMESEAN/TOATED PINE NUT SALAD.

ALL THAT AFTER THE HOSTESS HAD US WAITING 15 MINUTES FOR OUR TABLE WHEN THE RESTAURANT WAS HALF EMPTY. AFTER WAITING SHE TOOK US TO SOME SIDE AREA WHICH HAD MANY EMPTY TABLES WITH ONLY 1 OTHER COUPLE SITTING. WE REFUSED THAT TABLE AND ASKED TO BE PLACED AT A TABLE THAT COULD ACCOMODATE 5 PEOPLE AND WE ENDED UP SITTING AT AN OVAL TABLE FOR 4 AND ADDING ON A SQUARE TABLE FOR 2 SO THAT WE CAN ALL SIT SOMEWHAT COMFORTABLY."
