However, the rest of our experience fell short of our expectations. Italian restaurants are known for their pasta dishes, but unfortunately, this was not the case here. My gnocchi was undercooked and my husband's was overcooked, leading us to leave without finishing our meal and seek out another restaurant.

I was a bit surprised by the polenta I ordered as it was different from what I was expecting, but the staff quickly and without hesitation replaced it. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you find yourself in Rittenhouse.

The pasta with spare rib was exceptional, while the one with lobster was slightly less impressive. The gelato was good, although we prefer the gelato at Fiero in North Philly. The service was delightful, with helpful recommendations and just the right amount of attention and participation. We were able to enjoy a quiet and lovely dinner in each other's company, with the added bonus of a beautiful view over Rittenhouse Square. Thank you for a great dining experience.

Other people came in and when seated and confronted with the limited menu left. A 5 6 course meal is not how either of us eat and of course we ate the fabulous food the next night as well I just dont think it fair to drop this on people Thanks fore listening Tom

Every dish bursted with flavor and received only compliments from the table from spaghetti with meatballs to the squid ink pasta which were indulgent. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, making you feel like a valued guest. Scarpetta delivered on exquisite cuisine, impeccable service, and an ambiance that makes you want to linger, which we did of course!
