Scarpetta is LDV Hospitality’s signature restaurant concept that first launched in New York’s Meatpacking District. The Italian expression, “fare la scarpetta,” describes the gesture of taking the little boot-shaped piece of bread to soak up the remaining sauce left in the pot of one’s home kitchen. The restaurant’s name is derived from this familial gesture and represents the indulgent pleasure of savoring a meal down to its very last taste. In 2008, Scarpetta received a James Beard nomination for ‘Best New Restaurant in America’ as well as a coveted three-star review from the New York Times.
Dazzling park views & Italian fare make for a fine dining destination in the Rittenhouse Hotel.

Managed to snag a reservation for Thanksgiving dinner at Scarpetta and had an outstanding time. We had previously visited Scarpetta for a pasta making class (which I highly recommend!) so we came in with elevated expectations. Service was fast and congenial, and the pre-fixe menu was varied enough for most people. Each dish we received was exceptional, with the turkey maybe being the best turkey I’ve tasted. Drinks were similarly strong and tasty. For Thanksgiving I’d definitely recommend a visit, and I plan to return for conventional dinner as well. The views of Rittenhouse park are awesome too – ask for a window seat!

10/10 we had the most incredible dinner here last night. I’m pretty particular and I thoroughly enjoyed absolutely everything about this restaurant start to finish. The food….the ambiance…the DRINKS. My husband and I can not wait to come back. I ordered the seared scallops with spaghetti squash and a cucumber Gimlet ….no words. INCREDIBLE. The gimlet was the most delicious drink I’ve had in a very long time and the meal was superb. The portions were absolutely perfect and a “normal” amount, not too large and we left fully satisfied and full. New favorite Philly restaurant!!

Never had a meal; only been at the bar in the evenings. It’s a great atmosphere with killer drinks. It’s never crowded (especially compared to ‘Library Bar’ in the same hotel) which is even more of a reason to love it. Highly underrated spot to sit and lounge at

We had an odd situation where we had 2 large groups and were initially told we could not be seated close to each other. Luckily the manager allowed us. I should note that the other tables around us were not seated the entire time we dined so I’m not sure what the initial denial was about.

Where do I start!?!? This place was great! From the service, to the food, to the environment! Awesome! The manager, Jean-Paul was so down to earth and made sure me and my friends had everything we needed. Kayla and Ryan were so nice and super attentive. We stayed for drinks and enjoyed the vibes of the bar. Would give Scarpetta a 10 if I could. Me and my girls will definitely be back.

Delicious! Our beautiful bartender, Alexia, was super informative, attentive, and friendly. I told her how much I loved the bread variety that I embarrassingly woofed down way too fast. Without asking, she grabbed more for us! I had the cucumber gimlet. SUPER REFRESHING! I found it odd that fresh grated black pepper was the garnished on top but it was surprisingly a pleasant touch that brought all the flavors together nicely! We picked the polenta as an appetizer, and red snapper (per alexia’s suggestion). PHENOMENAL! I could’ve eaten until my insides ruptured! Hats off to chef! I definitely will return in the very near future!!!

We went to Scarpetta last weekend and could barely eat my filet mignon. Not only was the filet not cooked well, but it had the weirdest taste to it. It was the first time in my life my steak didn’t taste like actual steak.

I took my boyfriend to scarpetta for his birthday. We checked in with the hostess and got seated right away. Our table was by the window overlooking rittenhouse square park. We both ordered the lump crab gnocchi with lemon preserve. It was sooo good. The dessert was truly the best part! You simply cannot go wrong with a chocolate cake! They also acknowledged that I was celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday which was very appreciative. Shout out to our amazing server, Sal Dee!!! 11/10 service! He was so kind!!! All around amazing experience we will definitely be back!
