- Ashley 🌵July 5, 2014Superb! Spaghetti sauce is amazing, with the perfect amount of spice! Short ribs appetizer was so perfect. Oh! And the bread! Yum. Carrot cake and the penna cotta were both delicious. Will come again
- Renaud #March 24, 2018First time dining at the new location: we liked the new space. The food is still top-notch (grilled turbot was fantastic). Watch-out for the “beautiful & rich crowd” on week-ends.
- RisaJanuary 22, 2014Stick with the pastas, especially the spaghetti w tomato and basil & the duck and foie gras ravioli. And don't forget to leave room for the banana bread w chocolate stout ice cream!Upvoted Mar 9
- MuskanMay 30, 2015Best dishes were the yellowtail appetizer and duck fois gras ravioli. If the pistachio cake is on the menu, forget about your carb free diet and indulge. The extra calories will be worth it.
- Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014Braised baby goat remains the center of the menu, but the pastas are even better, including anolotti dal plin. This was the Village Voice's 2009 Best Of winner for an Italian Restaurant Read more
- Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014The signature pasta remains a homemade spaghetti in a light tomato sauce. The name of the restaurant means 'little shoe,' referring to the bread you'll use to scoop every ever last bit of sauce. Read more
- Elizabeth BursteinNovember 20, 2016The spaghetti, the duck and foie gras ravioli, and the lamb. So good. Also the last wine on their menu which was very dull body red was delicious
- Scott BoniOctober 1, 2013This was one of the best meals and dining experiences of my life. The food was fantastic, presentation was wonderful and the service was too. Ambience is also great. I'll be back many times.
- Kayleigh HarringtonJanuary 13, 2017You need to order: Polenta, foie gras ravioli, spaghetti. Don't sleep on the bread basket either, it's delightful.
- Scarpetta is an all around fabulous restaurant. Service is top notch, the decor is rich and moody and the food can't be beat. Portions are not shareable but not small either. Cute outdoor area too
- Jenny UngOctober 21, 2014Try the Pici Pasta dish, new on the menu, probably one of the best pasta dishes I've had in my life. Stracciatella appetizer was amazing too. Lamb neck cavatelli was 2nd best of the night.
- Dolci KeyJuly 7, 2019The bone marrow short rib pasta is truly fantastic. The waiters are so helpful and gracious. Amazing atmosphere for a intimate date or a birthday.
- Mark BAugust 15, 2017Quite possibly the best dining experience I've ever had in New York - and I've lived here my whole life. Perfect dinner: the garden salad, Branzino & Olive Oil cake for dessert!
- Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014Begin your meal with the bread basket (the stromboli bread!) and don't forget to order the life-changing Creamy Polenta with fricassée of truffled mushroom, and any of their excellent pastas.
- LindsApril 28, 2018Loved the scallop crudo and the creamy polenta with mushrooms. Definitely can't go wrong with any of the pastas.
- Serious EatsOctober 10, 2013The food at Scarpetta is so good that it's clear that, left to his own devices, Scott Conant knows exactly what he's doing.
- The creamy polenta and spaghetti and basil are as good as everyone says. If you want meat, try the pork chop! Save room for dessert cos the banana bread and chocolate cake are fabulous!
- Francine LiFebruary 26, 2015One of the best bread baskets in the city. And an unreal black sqid pasta that I've once eaten ever week for 2 months straight.
- MarzipanJanuary 15, 2023Not only does it serve the most delicious Italian food in New York, but this place has style, elegance and romantic setting on point. With friends or as a couple, this place is an experience.
- Tony XerriJanuary 3, 2013The only way to experience this place is the Tasting Menu with wine pairings. Most memorable dish I can remember was the short ribs over risotto with the truffle polenta and mushrooms. Do it right.
- Nicole ZhuAugust 12, 2014Definitely try the signature spaghetti with tomato sauce and basil - simple but delicious. The coconut panna cotta is a nice light dessert to cap a hearty meal of pasta.
- Anand DharanJune 28, 2018Quality of food and service have deteriorated since the move to the new location. The signature spaghetti dish is still good but no longer mind-blowing. Less about the food, more about being seen now.
- Leah Zelazny PoswolskyDecember 30, 2012amazingly delicious- short rib agnolotti &spaghetti dishes are highly recommended. duck was fantastic and for appetizers order the polenta - you'll be thinking about this fantastic meal the next day!
- Tina G.September 17, 2012Everything was soooo delicious. Definitely get the polenta appetizer though! Burrata and heirloom tomato salad was amazing and so was the halibut. Light and delicious! Leaves room for chocolate cake!
- Colin AdamsSeptember 2, 2016Great food and the service was excellent. The waiter had great recommendations for food as well as pairings. Get the creamy polenta and the black cod.
- Martin OngFebruary 10, 2016Spaghetti with tomato and basil is amazing even for someone who hates tomatoes. Also the bread was delicious
- Sunny HSeptember 11, 2018All the homemade pasta was delicious but the Spaghetti was a stand-out. They somehow managed to get so much flavour out of a simple pasta and it was very impressive.
- Jeff SolomonOctober 5, 2017Everything was good here. Highlights were the duck foie gras, short rib risotto, and pana cotta
- Sophia LiuMarch 25, 2015Simplicity. Spaghetti. The bread basket. And best of all, the coffee creamer comes warmed. Hot coffee for dessert anyone?

- Paula BuzzoNovember 26, 2020The Creamy Polenta is amazing and the Spaghetti is to die for. Excellent service.
- The Corcoran GroupOctober 26, 2010Warm and enticing Italian restaurant. Try the Mozzarella In Carrozza followed by the Short Rib Agnolotti or the Duck & Foie Gras Ravioli. Try not to fill up on the delicious bread basket.
- Emily CurrinAugust 29, 2012if you want really fast service, get there at 10:30 on a sunday with a party of 11 after spending 6 hours at the standard biergarten. everything came out really fast!
- IWalked Audio ToursSeptember 24, 2011#10 - IWalked NYC's Top 10 Italian Restaurants. Translated from Italian means, “little shoe” (as in like how a loaf of bread looks). Great mix of low key & upscale in trendy Meatpacking District<LINK> Read more

- s sJuly 15, 2019Texture of the pasta noodle is so good but there were just few menu of pastas could choose.

- L. Q.October 10, 2019Hands down for the polenta. The scallops were also nice. Don’t waist money with the crudos, though.
