| - Damn this was such a good meal! My friends and I dined here for Restaurant Week 2013 and all of us, but one, ordered off the Restaurant week menu. It all began when I made reservations on Open Table, courtesy of the Yelp App on my iPhone. I didnt have any preference of where we sat, but where the hostess sat us was remarkable! We got a window seat facing the Bellagio, so not only did we enjoy a delicious meal, we also got to enjoy a fantastic view of the strip, the Bellagio, and also the Bellagio Fountain show all at once! Now this was a meal to remember! Service was top notch, there were no disappointments there; the waiter we had was very attentive and helpful in helping us make our selection from the menu.
Course 1: Braised beef short rib - very tender pieces of sliced beef on top of what they called a risotto (not the traditional type of risotto) but it was still delicious! The "Risotto" was basically diced pieces of vegetables which supported the 3-4 pieces of beef on top. Very good combination of flavors and textures. Very impressed.
Before the second course came, we were all scarfing down their stromboli bread which is complimentary with our meal! It came with other bread, which were not that memorable. The bread was also served with three types of spreads, an eggplant marinara spread, olive oil, and something else I cannot remember. On a side note, one of my friends even asked the waiter to bring an entire basket filled with the bread, which he did! That made her evening! haha.
Course 2: Jidori Chicken - Now I didn't know what a Jidori chicken was, so I asked the waiter. This whole time, I thought it was the way the chicken was cooked! But instead, it is the type of chicken used to make the chicken, like using kurabuta pork. I can definitely tell the difference with kurabuta pork and regular pork, but this jidori chicken was a bit more difficult to tell the difference from regular chicken, besides the fact that this chicken was MOIST throughout! Maybe that's what makes Jidori chicken so good? Well, next time I will know! =D
Not only did I have the second course as my main meal, I HAD to try their handmade spaghetti everyone RAVES about! So I ordered a dish for everyone to share! In conclusion, it was pretty damn good. What makes it good is the noodles! The texture is not too over or undercooked, but just right! I guess the handmade pasta really makes a difference in a pasta dish!
Course 3: Chocolate cake with salted caramel ice cream - Now how can you end a meal without dessert!? My stomach was SO distended PRIOR to the second course, but I had to taste everything! By the time dessert came, I swear I have a second stomach! I devoured not ONLY MY dessert, but my friends dessert too! She ordered the stuffed donuts with nutella....what?! NUTELLA in fried dough? Yes! Nuff said. ;-)
I'd definitely come back to Scarpetta again! Quite pricey for a student like myself, so probably come again with my family, during restaurant week, or when I start making the big bucks!
