Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Scarpetta, overlooking Rittenhouse Square, offers a "fantastic atmosphere" with "excellent service." Diners praise its "delicious food," especially the arugula salad and scallops. Servers like Ryan, Sal, and Daniela are "exceptional." However, some find the pricing steep and service slow. Ideal for happy hour, it remains a "memorable" dining experience.

    A beautiful restaurant with stunning views so why on a Saturday night at prime time was it completely dead? Although the servers were very nice, service was quite slow and disjointed. Given that there were only 2 other tables in the entire restaurant, this was upsetting. It was hard to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere because it felt like a ghost town. The wine list is mediocre at best and the cocktails were blah. Menu selection is rather limited but some of the options were delicious. The bread basket is fantastic. The short rib app was delicious. The rest? Ehhh. The tomato pasta dish has changed for the worse. From what I remember it was incredible but this time, just so so. And the desert was awful. The tiramisu tasted like it came out of the freezer and it was dry as a bone. For $16 a desert, I expected much better. Needless to say, won’t be back

    We very much enjoyed the seasonal offering of the soft-shell crab ... and continue to be amazed at how quiet it is in the restaurant ...

    Scarpetta is great for some things. The octopus was awesome. Gorgeous atmosphere and excellent service. However—there was NOTHING about 75% of our meal that justified the price. $40 for spaghetti and meatballs? Three meatballs and a passable tomato sauce with average pasta. An arugula salad for $25? If you go I’d suggest going at happy hour. Otherwise it’s not worth it. There are better Italian spots all over that take the same care with their food but don’t charge you hotel restaurant prices.

    Our server Sal was lovely and professional. He gave us so many recommendations and was patient with us. The entire meal was exceptional, and we will definitely return for more evenings both for cocktails downstairs at the bar and meals upstairs. Thank you!

    Fantastic atmosphere, stunning views, staff was friendly and food was very good. Although we had no time constraints, the pace was a little too leisurely, with multiple waitpersons providing assistance, but I could have managed the journey better on my end. Everyone enjoyed their meals and food was very good, but not quite memorable, although the prices approached memorable. I have been there numerous times, and I would go back go back, but I am left wanting for a little more value for the money.

    The quality of the food is quite high, but the place looks as if it opened in the 1990s and has not changed since. Loud acoustics worsened by Muzak. Service is quite pretentious, but haphazard. Wine selections are quite limited and mediocre. Come for the food and ignore the rest.
