Scarpetta Philadelphia - (Near Philadelphia, PA)

5 /5 Scott Sieron: Our waiter Christian did well to make a great dining experience for our dinner considering our dietary restrictions. Good quality food value for the cost. We were fortunate to have a window seat for people-/dog-watching and viewing a few spectacular vehicles parked on the road. If coming from hotel lobby (ground floor), you should walk past the bar area to get to the host who will direct you to the restaurant (2nd floor). We did not see signage with instructions.

3 /5 Gabrielle R: A few friends and I went here before the Broad Street Run to carb up! All of our meals were just okay, nothing to brag about and seemingly overpriced while being small portions . I had the basil gnocchi with crab, and the preserved lemon flavor was so overwhelming, to the point I had to pick around any lemon to try and taste another flavor. The atmosphere was upscale, but was really empty for going on a Saturday night. The best part of our meal was hands down the cheesecake! Such a tangy flavor with the lemon glaze while still light and creamy. If you end up here, I would recommend getting it! But overall, would not recommend to go.

5 /5 Jeremy Yowell: 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 Ive tasted. Drinks were similarly strong and tasty. For Thanksgiving Id 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!

2 /5 Carl Park: Was here for Valentines Day dinner. As advertised it was a fixed menu with limited choices. The appetizer course was quite good. The pasta course, the lobster was clearly frozen and tasteless. I had to return the first try because it was way too salty. The mushroom pasta was good. The main course, I saw the waiter bring it out as we were eating the pasta course and he made a U turn to return the dishes. When the dishes finally arrived the steak was cold from sitting (but the meat was tender). The scallops were just horrible. Smelled off and it looked boiled. Could not eat it. When the waiter took away the main dish he did not ask why the scallop dish was not even touched!? The dessert course was clearly not house made, a heavy hand scoop of cake and frozen cheesecake. Should have complained about the scallops but we had enough....not a good showing.

5 /5 Amy Pham: As a pasta lover, this by far stumps all other pasta dishes Ive had. The perfect portion of pasta was enough to fulfill my appetite. The noodle was cooked to its ideal state. The best part is the sauce! It was packed with flavor, so simple yet elegant. Our server made our experience lovely. Such a special night for my day. 10/10 would recommend for a romantic night with your lover.
