Reviews for Scarpetta Beach in New York, NY

Fantastic service! Absolutely fantastic!!! The food and drinks were excellent and they had several non-alcoholic options as... well. They are bigger portions so be ready for that. Will definitely be coming back! Read more

There is always a crowd here and I heard a lot of things about this place so was worried that there was some hype. However, I... was impressed by the quality of the food. We started with cocktails that were definitely on the sweeter side. The bread theygive is really filling in itself. The portions are small so we did ask for another bread basket which they gladly refilled.Service was attentive considering the restaurant is so big. I didn’t care too much for the scallops or beet salad but theshort rib agnolotti is a must get. So delicious. The cod was not bad as a lighter dish. I would definitely come back to try theother plates. Read more

Made the reservations in advance for my boyfriend’s birthday, specifically asking for a nice table. When we got there, they... tried to seat us in the tiniest table in between two big groups of people. I asked them kindly to change our spots, theyweren’t too happy to accommodate but eventually, they sat us at a corner table. They first came with drinks and a basket ofassorted bread; it was very good. Our server was nice, and she explained the menu to us, so we knew what we were getting. Westarted off with the Seared Scallops and Creamy Polenta. They both were very good, but the polenta came out very cold. I toldthe server, she apologized and quickly cleared up the table. We then ordered the Spaghetti & Short Rib & Bone Marrow Agnolottiboth pastas were excellent, we definitely could have ordered another round. Took them a while to ask if we wanted another drink,but all good. It wasn’t until the end, when we ordered the Akaushi Wagyu Strip when we decided we had enough. We were stillhungry so when the meat came out, we were happy, but one bite and disappointing. The wagyu was tough couldn’t even cutproperly with a sharp knife and tasted like iron. I think the server saw my face and came right over. I explained to her theissue, and she quickly removed from table & offered something else in place. We kindly declined and we just wanted thecheck. Not long after the manager (Armando) came over with an apology about the entire dinner experience. He was very kind, heoffered us something else for dinner, desserts and drinks on him. I will say if not for him, we would have left extremelydisappointed. He was very professional, brought us out 3 different desserts & glass of very good champagne. He wanted to makesure we come back to have a proper Scarpetta dinner experience, so he gave us his card with personal email on it and told us tocome back anytime on him. All in all, the start of the dinner wasn’t the greatest but the manager trying to make things rightis Read more

After reading terrible reviews about the service my husband and I were nervous about coming. Happy to report that the service... was absolutely outstanding. Our waiter Niko was great & the manager Armando as well. The food was great - loved the spaghettiand the short rib pasta. Don’t sleep on the yellowtail appetizer. Must try in NYC! Read more

I went for a birthday dinner (definitely make reservations) on a Friday night. The portions are small but the setting is... upscale. I also went for a client lunch. Would recommend the place! Read more

Fantastic restaurant! Thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor seating which was beautifully put together. It didn’t feel too close to... the street. The bread was fresh and warm. The cauliflower was really tasty and the roasted carrots were full of flavour. Myfellow diners also enjoyed their pasta dishes and mentioned that they were cooked perfectly. Service staff were friendly,conversational and efficient. Look forward to visiting again. Read more

overall our experience was awesome! Food was incredible, staff was friendly and other than the price, wouldn’t change a thing.... Even the bread was delicious. Recommend the black cod and the polenta appetizer Read more

Best steak I've had at a restaurant all year and probably one of the best I've had period. The duck was also strong. The polenta... and lava cake are also worth trying. Super friendly staff and swift bartenders. Fantastic venue for a lively polished evening. Read more
