Our 10th Anniversary/Valentine's Day celebration dinner was perfect, thanks to our wonderful meal at Scarpetta Tuesday night. I made a reservation at Scarpetta for Valentine's Day based on great reviews, a great Chef running the place, and the fact it wasn't overly pricey. I am so glad I choose this gem! The restaurant decor is so lovely and romantic. We were sat next to the window overlooking the Belagio fountains... how perfect! My Husband's view was somewhat blocked, but we really enjoyed the atmosphere.
The food is great. We absolutely LOVED the bread basket with dipping sauces. Each was great in their own way, but the butter and eggplant was awesome. The stromboli (included in the bread basket) was literally to die for. We shared the short rib appetizer, which was small, but tasty. This was our least favorite thing we ate, but it was still really good. For our entree we shared the duck and foie gras ravioli.... it took my breath away! It was so rich and delicious- I will be thinking about this one for awhile. For dessert we had the zeppolis, which were a great way to end a fabulous meal.
We loved this restaurant and love the vibe in the cosmopolitan. We'll be back for sure!
