Scarpetta's

First I love to note great service & ambiance. Our server Brittany J did a wonderful job right down to a wine pairing suggestion for dinner course for 1/2 price bottle of La Crema Pinot Noir on Tuesday! Atmosphere is always date night nice, classy and upscale, both opted jeans and a nice tops. Leave those PJ pants at home for fast food I love the cheesy deliciousness of huge slices lightly fried eggplant parm with a side of spaghetti. Hubs never goes wrong with spaghetti & meatballs, a great sprinkle of parm on top. I am featuring appetizers in this post, we had Calabrian shrimp which I paired with an great tasting Italian Cosmo. Attached a picture, sadly I forgot to capture before hubs ate one. The bread underneath picked up the spicy oil deliciousness. We also had Maryland crab cakes, although some comment that they are on the smaller side as there only 3. However, I was very pleased with the sweet quality of the crab without a ton of breading, so it was well worth it to me not to get a "chain" prepared crabcake. I had French onion soup & hubs a beautiful salad with plenty of blue cheese he asked for, both came with our entrees. Worth noting, happy hour is M-Sa 4-6 and you can't beat the pricing on some well prepared delights, restaurant opens at 4! We ate early 4:15 and plenty of seating, however I'd recommend calling a few days ahead for reservations, as this place gets busy. Also enjoyed a visit to Elroy's Deli, 5 star friendliness and took home cannoli and awesome roast beef and ham for lunches this week Recommend!

We ordered crabcakes that were tiny and tasted of nothing but horseradish. The lobster roll is a damn joke. You have at least an inch thick piece of toasted bread between mostly celery and a miniscule amout of lobster. Not only was this extremely difficult to eat but it also was bland and tasted like bread and celery. Highway robbery at $16.00. We also ordered the mushroom buttons which were actually timehe size of buttons, overcooked to the point they were nearly black and to make matters worse they were cold. I had the pasta carbonara which as you'll see from the photo it must have sat waiting and started drying out. The lack of sauce caused the pasta to stick to itself. It was bland and lacked seasoning. So much so that adding salt didn't really help it any.The sea bass was great, as was the salad and tomato soup. Those where the only dishes that really stood out from all the others. We also had scallops which were decent. The pasta that came with the chicken parm was dry and bland as well. I had high hopes based on the previous reviews but sadly this place charges high end prices for small portions equal to the amount of seasoning in their dishes.

Great food, great service, priced well for quality of food. Never had a bad meal. Italian margaritas are a sure thing.

So, we visited this restaurant when it first opened years ago. The food was good but the restaurant was not very busy. We didn't end up coming back. Well, here we are. We were impressed. Prices have been lowered and the food is great. Drinks are very reasonable. We'll be back.

We found Scarpettas on Yelp and stopped by for dinner last nite. Nice homely restaurant w friendly staff. Had the crab sliders, beet salad , sesame crusted tuna, porcini steak and Parmesan wedges for appetizers. Really good portions and yes we were starving n they were delicious n we cleaned the plates. The warm bread was good too. Had lobster risotto, eggplant Parm n chicken parm as entrees. We enjoyed them too n for that sweet tooth shared a choc cake. All in all the food was good. If u r in the area stop by and enjoy Scarpettas delicious food

We had an excellent evening at Scarpetta's, both service, food, and ambiance. The Italian gem of a restaurant is located in historic downtown Fremont. The main dining area is filled with colorful large scale artwork, ambient lighting, and there are beautiful thick marble-topped tables, and some booths are in an elegant cozy crescent shape. Our party of 5 included a gentleman in a wheelchair, and the hostess was very kind to configure the seating to best fit his wheelchair, and allow everyone to have ample room at the table. The hostess, Elisa and our waitress Alora were the perfect service personnel, very kind, warm and professional.The food was an Italian delight, and cooked to perfection. Upon being seated we were promptly brought waters with lemon and rustic bread with herbed olive oil. The French onion soup was a knockout in flavor, onions and overall quality. The mozerella cheese was flame-seared just prior to serving.. Among the best FO soup II have had. The dinner salad was a generous serving; crispy and fresh with tomatoes, onions, and olives. Three guests ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, and they all agreed the sauce was outstanding and the portions came in plentiful deep- dish rimmed bowls. Two guests ordered chicken scallopini and it was very good and hot with linguine and red onions and a nice sauce. While between the five of us, we ordered repeats of the same meals, the entree and appetizer menu had an impressive variety of Italian dishes from which to make our choices.Scarpetta's is well worth the drive from nearly anywhere in Northwest Ohio, and rivals the best there, and even in Chicago! Get there before 6 and enjoy a vary nice happy hour for drinks and appetizers. This was our third time here, and each visit exceeded our expectations and memory. We will return! You will not be sorry after enjoying an authentic Italian meal at at beautiful Scarpetta's restaurant. Our after-meal coffees were superb as well.

My mom and I were I'm the mood for Italian so we sent to Scarpettas. There were two other couples in there when we arrived for lunch. The limited menu items were a little disappointing but we decided to stay anyway and ordered Chicken Parmesan and speghetti and meatballs. The waitress took our order, then 5 min later came back to verify our order. 15 min later, she brings us lasagna and spaghetti with 1 meatball about 1 inch in diameter. If we wanted more meatballs they were $1.75 each. The Spaghetti and meatball was cold. The waitress took the lasagna back and gave my mom the cold spaghetti and 1 meatball. 15 min had past, and I still didn't have the Chicken Parmesan. We settled our check and the waitress slung the folder that had my moms card and the receipts in it which made moms credit card drop to the floor and did not attempt to pick it up. She said she was having a bad day. Also- I believe the owner was sitting at the bar no more than 25 feet from all this happening. He didn't inquire about anything. But wished us a good day when we left. Horrible!

For a old classy dining, This place does it. The food was close to some authentic Italian entrees dishes. Above regular dining prices but nothing like their food, our waitress Alora was the best, knowing what you need before you ask. Restaurant ambiance is pleasing for being in an old downtown building. Enjoy the wine prices, it was discounted for happy hour. I'm sure you will be pleased.

Terrible. Again. Calamari overly fried and over cooked. Calabrian shrimp over cooked. Friendly bartender, though. She took care of my bill and hoped one day I would be back as a regular.

The food was fantastic worth the 50 min. drive from my home. I had the chicken marcella it was perfect! The pasta was just right and the gravey was amazing! My date had the chicken piccata it was perfect alsoDrinks were very good just a little pricey. The house wine was exceptional and reasonably priced. The waitress was great! If we could only clone her! The place was very clean. The look was very classy art deco. This place is well worth the travel to this sweet little town...Fremont Ohio.
