We've been to (and loved) Scarpetta in NY. The bread basket there was astounding and so memorable we wanted to come here for that, even 6 years after our visit to the NY location. We enjoyed our meal here very much (and it's not a bad value for the strip) but the bread basket was definitely less amazing than I remembered. They still have the meat stromboli, as well as some very good sourdough and the rosemary focaccia, which used to be my favorite but now seems to be made with whole wheat dough and is no longer quite as good.
We shared two pasta dishes, the duck and foie gras ravioli and the (beef) short rib agnolotti ($26). The short rib agnolotti was absolutely fantastic. The duck and foie gras ravioli (which is what I had before) was ok, but there's not much foie flavor and this time the sauce had a spicy kick to it that I did not care for. Though the waiter warned us that the pasta portions were light (in between appetizer and entree size, he said), I actually found them quite filling. I think we got about 12 raviolis, which is a very decent portion.
The restaurant has a lovely view of the strip + Bellagio fountains. Try to get a table near the window.
