I really liked this place! My husband and I actually started off at D.O.C.G. and were sat in a booth up against the wall. We had no room and were too close to the next couple so I decided we should just go to Scarpetta instead. The décor is absolutely beautiful! We sat at a table by the window overlooking the Bellagio fountains and it was stunning. So far happy with my decision.
We had the short ribs and the tuna susci appetizer. The short ribs were good but nothing about them stood out as amazing. The risotto that came with them was just ok. The tuna appetizer was out of this world. The marinated veggies that came with were just so delicious and they went so well with the thinly sliced tuna.
For our entrees, my husband had the NY strip and I had the Orata. The steak was seasoned perfectly and it was very good. The Orata was somewhat different from what I expected. It is a very light dish so if you are watching your waistline, I would recommend it. The fish was cooked well and wasn't dry at all, just lacking some seasoning in my opinion. The tomato based broth was also a little bland but overall it was a good dish. We also ordered the glazed carrots to go along with our meal. OMG, I couldn't stop eating these even after I was full. They were so good!!
Overall a great dining experience. I would like to go back and try some pasta next time. I also thought the service was excellent and the staff was very welcoming.
