A welcome new addition to the Meat Packing district dining scene, this excellent Italian restaurant has a name that roughly translates as "the bread you use to soak up the sauce left on the plate." This gives you an idea of the kind of superbly earthy Italian fare they serve up in this surprisingly sleek space (on the site of what was Gin Lane). Food is truly sublime, deceptively simple and yet...

Tips About This Business
When to Go
brought to you by
Citysearch
Skip the trendsetters and scenesters by going early, when the bar area opens at 4pm. Nicely set spots, including placemats and silverware, mean the bartender won't get grumpy when you order food.

UNBELIEVABLE ATTITUDE - STAY AWAY

We stopped in for a post-dinner drink at around 11:30pm on a saturday night. Our drinks arrived, and because mine had been mixed very sweetly (with one of the three ingredients clearly dominating the drink), my wife politely asked the bartender to remix it a bit more evenly. The bartender gave a surreal, unintentionally hilarious response about how she "works at a top restaurant and knows how...

Scarpetta became one of my favorite restaurants to go to. I love Itlalian food but this is italian food with a modern twist. Its such a nice place to go to in the summer as they have an outside area. The staff is very polite and attentive. We, once got drinks on the house cause we had to wait for the appetizers for longer than usual, even though we did not complain. They have the best, best...
