| - Scarpetta is good, really good. We came here with a group of 4 dudes. In addition to the two usual characters, Mr. Booth and Mr. Bloewen, there was also Mr. Buxton. While in Vegas for the weekend, we thought we would try out Scarpetta for our "fancy dancy meal". Two of us ordered the famous Spaghetti, Mr, Buxton ordered the Foie Gras Ravioli, and Mr. Bloewen ordered the Linguini.
The Spaghetti had a lot of hype, but I can clearly say it was the best Spaghetti that I have ever had. Was it worth ~$28? Probably not. The Foie Gras Ravioli, on the other hand, was something unique, and as Larry David would say, Prettay Prettay Prettay Prettay Good. As Mr. Buxton was eating it, he just kept saying, "Wow. This is unreal." He had to constantly put his fork down as he was enjoying the dish so much.
I was also lucky enough to try the Linguini dish. It was also very very good. Great flavors and cooked to perfection. The only problem was the Mr. Bloewen had a bit too much to drink prior to dinner, and was not able to finish the meal (basically committing a crime). The rest of us got too full to help him out, but it should be no knock to the dish.
We also enjoyed a couple $16 dirty martinis (clearly overpriced), and had an overall great dinner.
Why 4 stars and not 5, you ask?
Well, I felt as though service was a bit snooty, and the spaghetti was good, but clearly overpriced. I was not sure why our waiter was looking down at us, and not very friendly. If it was not for that, Scarpetta would have clearly gotten 5 stars, as it did meet my high expectations. Next time my wife and I want a nice night out, Scarpetta would be a good choice.
