    Scarpetta is in a beautiful location and offers great views for anyone dining on its second floor. The first floor has more of a bar, lounge vibe. As for dinner service, it could have been better. No one went over the menu with us or discussed specials, popular items, etc. The service was very slow although the restaurant did not appear particularly busy. The apps and entrees were incredibly flavorful, but the portions are “kid-sized” and underwhelming upon arrival to the table.

    It’s in a hotel, so vibe is a bit meh. Would have been better if we had been seated by window as requested. There were plenty of tables open at our late evening arrival time, yet they said they were reserved. No one sat in them all night, until last service..which we are sure if since we sat in her back corner by the register and could see them all clearly.

    I a have celiac disease and this was the best menu and dinning option I’ve encountered. The staff was very helpful and the food was excellent! For someone who is gluten free, it was awesome to have hot fresh rolls, fantastic pasta dishes, and great sides. I also thought it was a good value and enjoyed the 2 course menu!

    Service was average. Our water was filled once, one meal was not edible and chef was insisting it wax fine. Asked to have it removed. In fact my guest was sick on the way home from the bad meal - waiter was missing most of the meal
