Scarpetta

We made a reservation for 6:30. Good thing we did for a party of eight. The experience was delightful and worthy of positive reviews! I highly recommend. The evening started off with drinks. The sommelier brought the wine list and allowed me to select a bottle of wine. Even made some recommendations. We began with salads and appetizers with bread and the whole experience was beautiful. Taking our time and savoring the food one morsel at a time. The wine presentation was excellent. We didn't all partake, some had cocktails or bourbon. But we were all satisfied. The entrees were delectable ranging pasta to fish and steaks. Nobody wasn't full. Then we capped off the event with after dinner coffee and a dessert for the birthday girl. Our view was to die for looking over the Bellagio fountains. We departed for our show at 8:30 and reveled all night long on the wonderful experience at Scarpetta.

We used to love Scarpetta from 2 years ago. They've scaled back their menu and yet the food has become meh. For a strip experience, this was a huge disappointment. The signature pasta dish that Scott Conant allegedly perfected is sub par spaghetti with tangy tomato sauce. The agnolotti that used to be so good is greasy and doesn't taste anything like the quality it used to have.Service was ok but my wife requested a window seat in her reservation only to be denied and seated a table over from the window seat that remained empty for most of the night.We would not recommend this place at all for food, value or accommodation.

Dinner here with a group of fellow lawyers when in town for a meeting. I was happy to see this was the dinner pick and looked forward to some nice Italian. It did not deliver. Food? It was probably 3 stars. Not amazing but not bad at all. The service? Ugh. It took an hour to even get dinner orders taken - and only when my friend went and grabbed a manager to move things along. Things for a little better then but it still was a 3 hour meal -- and I was among the first to leave and before dessert. I kept it simple and did the spaghetti. It was so so. I'm born into a big Italian family and know my way around pasta. I also cook fairly well, but do not pretend I do better than a quality Italian restaurant, but I could have done better than they did. I wanted it to be exceptional but it was just okay. The bread we started with was very good at least. No one else I was seated near was impressed with the food. The really poor service for a table that was ordering a lot and bottles of wine was a let down. Add to that the food just being okay for the price, and being so done with it at the three hour mark that I didn't want to hold on for dessert makes it a 2 star for me. I would not go back with so many other places nearby including Carbone.

Scarpetta is an upscale Italian restaurant with a stunning bar that leads to the main dining area, which opens up to breathtaking views overlooking the Bellagio fountains and beyond. Not all tables have a view, but many do, even if they're not right by the windows.I visited Scarpetta for a 'girl date' with a couple of my besties, and it offered the perfect atmosphere for us to yap away while enjoying sumptuous food and wine. I can definitely see this restaurant being an ideal spot for a romantic date night as well.Tip: Reserve ahead. We made reservations for a Friday night dinner through OpenTable, and it was a good thing we did because every table was full during our meal.The food and wine were a bit on the pricey side, so I'd consider this more of a special occasion spot for most. However, I believe the experience was worth the cost. The service was 5-star, and the portions were generous. For the three of us, the bill came out to around $390 after tax and tip. Here's what we ordered:Food:- Starter bread basket (five different breads) + toppings/dips: 5/5- Grass-Fed Beef Tartare: 5/5- Beet Salad- Branzino- Pork Chop: 5/5- GnocchiDrinks:- Red wine (prices ranged from $18 to $28 per glass, with an extensive wine list for bottle purchases).

Wow! That short rib raviolis are a must have here! This is signature for them. So we came here for a private dinner and had an OKAY view of the water fountains. If you really want to have an amazing view of the Bellagio fountains in Vegas..it isn't this spot. I've been to restaurants face in center view. But you can still see it from here..maybe not in private room as much. Since this was a private event with a prefixe menu...options were limited but I would choose the short rib ravioli over the filet mignon any day. This isn't a steak-based restaurant. It's Italian. If you want steak, you go to a steak restaurant. But my husband said the filet mignon is okay..nothing better than the others. We started with appetizers. I didn't care for their caprese/tomato app. It was chunks of veggies with cheese. The polenta dip was delicious and the focaccia bread was so addictive!! It was so warm and delicious! That short rib ravioli was so good with that meat very tender that it melts in your mouth. The sauce was light and delicious . That bone marrow just makes it even more tastier. I literally finished this in one sitting! Dessert- We got the beignets which were okay. It was good but nothing amazing. We also got the ricotta cheesecake and coconut panna cotta which were better.Service was great and friendly!One major critique I have is...if it's a private dinner..I don't get why bottled glass water wasn't on the table! I honestly think a high end restaurant like this shouldn't be offering tap water. Bus out the Acqua Panna water. Don't let tap water be an option at this point. Plus Vegas water sucks at this point.

We've been twice and have tried several things. Scarpetta is a solid choice for Italian. The service has been uniformly very good. Both times, we were steered towards dishes - albeit completely different ones - and away from a couple of choices. The bread basket is wonderful, served with a trio of topping options. Both times we had the raviolo, which is a favorite dish of mine. The version here is good, but it pales when compared to the egg yolk raviolo served at Osteria Mozza in LA. The oysters were undeniably fresh but the tangerine mignonette, apples and other flavors overwhelmed the bivalves. I wouldn't order these again.First visit, I had the squid ink tagliatelle with lobster. It was good, particularly the lobster which was good quality. This time, I had the brown butter pasta, which was good but not that exciting. My SO had the short rib with crab the first visit (crab was the highlight of that meal!) and this time went with spaghetti with meatballs. Maybe we do keep ordering wrong, but there is something about Scarpetta that keeps it a very solid option but not a stellar choice, especially since Carbone is temptingly nearby and the Italian there is truly outstanding.

Def a spot you need reservations for. But keep in mind this spot does have a dress code, so you can't roll up with sweats and your swim wear lol. Had dinner right when they opened at 5 pm and within a few moments, the restaurant was full! I would recommend requesting to sit by the window so you can see the Bellagio Foundation and night lights if you're into that. It was my first time here. Move toward one of the highlights of the cosmo hotel, the chandelier and it takes you to the escalators. You'll take the escalator to the third floor and go to the right. You'll see Red Plate and then Scatpetta is to the left with a colorful wall. Started with a drink, which was the Sophia Loren which is made with prosecco which was pretty decent. I ordered the Agnolotti which is a pasta dish with bits of short rib and breadcrumbs in a brown butter sauce which was very flavorful with each bite. And what makes it good? Fresh made pasta! But who can forget to mention the breadbasket?! It comes with 3 types of bread being traditional sourdough, then two types of bread that are warmed being the focaccia and Stromboli. And they prvide a circus olive oil, eggplants, and a whipped butter which were all tasteful. With the eggplants, a little goes a long way. And to end the night, had the mascarpone creme brùlée which was huge! But it was so delicious! My server was Ricardo I believe, and the service was really good! Checked on you enough, and provided suggestions and was friendly.

Located at the Cosmopolitan Hotel, we came here on our last night in Vegas and we loved it! It's a quaint spot with beautiful decor, exceptional service and elevated food! The

Gorgeous restaurant and divine food!We had a pretty large group and was able to get seated in the fountain room where you have an immaculate view of the Bellagio water fountain. The room was cozy and perfect for a small gathering. Luckily because we had a group of people we went ahead and ordered multitude of items from the menu, so glad because I got to taste a bit of everything! My memory of the night starts to get a little hazy, we were having a lot of tequila throughout the day... so bear with me... if I don't remember things correctly or... if I allegedly had a dish that doesn't exist... A few that were very memorable were: agnolotti, short rib and brown butter absolutely delicious! The pasta was cooked to perfection, the filling did not overpower the pasta itself.Gnocchi, I typically avoid gnocchi because it feels a bit heavy to me but... at Scarpetta I found myself indulging pretty heavily on this dish, it was outstanding! Soft, fluffy, buttery... just tasty!The Octopus was perfectly cooked and seasoned I would highly recommend you order it to share at the table. We had a few more dishes but as I mentioned, I don't trust my memory.I encourage everyone to visit Scarpetta when you're at the Cosmo! Amazing food, breathtaking views, elegant and warm atmosphere. It's perfect for any occasion.

We had reservations for 8pm on a Saturday. We arrived at around 7:45pm, checked in, and were seated close to our reservation time. On our reservation, we requested a booth seating and were seated accordingly. Complimentary bread basket had a variety to choose from and were all fresh. My boyfriend ordered the Braised Prime Short Rib with butter poached king crab and mashed potatoes. The beef was tender and flavorful. I ordered the Colorado Lamb Rack with pecorino cheese crust, crushed potatoes, roasted bell pepper, and lamb jus. We were told that it takes about 40 minutes for the lamb. It took less than that. It was tender and cooked as ordered (medium rare) and good flavor. We ordered Thé Limoncello Cheesecake (limoncello cream, blueberry compote, blueberry sorbet). It was really delicious !Our server, Rod, was friendly with a good demeanor, knowledgeable of the menu and checked on us regularly. Ambiance - high end Italian restaurant. Lighting is adequate. Not loud which is perfect so one can enjoy a quiet, relaxed dinner. A bit pricey but considering it is on the Strip (3rd floor of the Venetian) and the portions are adequate. Will definitely return here when in the area.
