Scarpetta Canary Wharf - London

Of all the places to book we chose here, 18 mins in and we had to ask for a drink, it wasn’t busy, drinks then stater arrived it was very nice. Had to ask twice where our mains were , told first time they were making it , second time almost ready , eventually it wasn’t served and we had to leave. We had clearly been forgotten as the table next to us had both courses before us and they came after us . It wasn’t busy and plenty of staff.

Terrible service and the place looks quite abandoned. Food ok but nothing special. It was a disappointing experience.

We were seated by a friendly waitress who took our drink and starter order. She spoke about Italy as she was from Sicily. However, she left halfway through our meal and we were forgotten about. After realizing we had not been served our main courses after 30 minutes, we flagged down a waiter who was unapologetic. Our main courses arrived 10 minutes later, indicating they were not put through properly. We sat with empty drinks and no server checked on us. The bill included a 12.5% service charge, which seemed cheeky given the lack of service. Overall, it was a disappointing experience and we will not be returning anytime soon.

The main dishes were enjoyable, although one was served cold. However, the starters and dessert were not to my liking. Additionally, the restaurant only offered alternative milk options, not regular milk.

Absolute rubbish, food had no flavour whatsoever just taste of salt and pepper. Barely even warm. Potion size was small.
