| - I had such high hopes for Scarpetta. We came on a Sunday night at 6:40PM, a bit late for our reservation but we were seated promptly.
The bread came quickly, and was amazing. There was sourdough, a type with meat in it, ciabatta, and some other small roll. It came with olive oil, tomato, and cheese mixed with butter as toppings, which were really delicious.
The creamy polenta with truffled mushrooms was also quite amazing, especially on the bread.
For some reason though, when our entrees came, everything just went downhill.
The duck and foie gras ravioli just tasted weird and a bit too salty. The short rib agnolotti wasn't very tender or flavorful. The vegetable spaghetti was a bit better and the broccoli was pretty good. Overall though, a bit disappointed. Perhaps it was just an off night.
