WOW. We came here for the first time at the end of May, and we just made our second visit this week! We were extremely impressed the first time around, and we were so happy that our second experience was equally as fabulous. SERVICE: Extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. My husband and I visited with our 8 year old son, and both times our waiter went out of their way to educate him on a little bit of Italian, and commend him on how well he was behaving. FOOD: Probably one of the best meals that we've ever had in Vegas, and we usually visit 1-3 times a year for the last 14 years. The Raviolo appetizer is AMAZING. The oysters are fresh and tasty. I opted for the Tagliolini Agli Scampi both times, and it was impressive. My husband has had both the Agnolotti and the Cavatelli, and he loved them. My son had the Spaghetti once with the tomato sauce, and once with butter, and he enjoyed both :) AMBIANCE: Absolutely exceptional. The music, with the decor, and the view of the Bellagio Fountains is truly very enjoyable. Thank you, Scarpetta for another great visit! We will absolutely be back again and again!

Food, ambiance and service were outstanding. From the moment we were greeted by the hostess to the service at our table, everything was perfect. We started off with the pumpkin soup with king crab and a Caesar salad. The soup was delicious and so was the crab. My husband enjoyed his salad. For dinner we ordered the Ahi Tuna Carpaccio, Beef Tartare and Short Rib Agnolotti. Every bite of everything was delicious. Let's talk about the bread basket.. not a fan of bread, but this one is off the charts. Roasted tomatoes and cheese on bread, spinach and cheese rolled bread, along with sourdough and a meat and cheese rolled bread. All served warm with a side of mascarpone, marinated eggplant and a citrus oil. The restaurant is beautiful. Spacious seating with some tables overlooking the Bellagio Fountains. As for service, our server Rod was fantastic! Friendly, let us know about the dishes and made sure everything was perfect. I'm not a fan of getting caught up in the traffic of the Strip to go to dinner, but Scarpetta is worth it. Looking forward to returning soon!

Italian Fine Dining suited for special occasions. Gorgeous decor and ideal location with direct views of Bellagio Fountains. The starters and mains (Primi and Piatti) excellent, especially the Oysters, Beef Carpaccio, Risotto and Branzino. Consider getting dessert elsewhere. Our friend worked with the restaurant to book our group reservation for a private dining room overlooking the Bellagio Fountains. They created a custom menu to minimize our need to think and choose during our event. Everything but the drinks were paid ahead of time. As soon as we arrived, service was excellent. Here's what we ordered: Starters: OYSTER ON THE HALF SHELL - (5/5) tangerine mignonette, apple, serrano pepper. Oysters were the small ones from North Carolina. Extras briny and marinaded in a nice vinaigrette. BEEF CARPACCIO - (5/5) lemoncello, celery, arugula salad, crispy capers, parmigiana. Excellent dish! CAPRESE - (4/5) bufala mozzarella, heirloom tomatoes, oregano, basil. High quality ingredients, but I didn't rave about this dish. CHOPPED CAESAR SALAD (3/5) marinated white anchovies, parmesan croutons. Basic Main Dishes: RISOTTO (5/5) seasonal vegetable, parmigiano. Excellent! Tasted much like my fav restaurants in Venice. BRANZINO (4/5) rainbow chard, toasted pine nuts, sun raisins, citrus tomato sauce, basil. My Italian hubby raved about this dish. I thought it was just okay. PRIME FILET OF BEEF (3/5) sautéed spinach, barolo. Good, but not their specialty. Desserts: MASCARPONE CHEESECAKE (3/5) served with a tangy sorbet AMEDEI CHOCOLATE CAKE (2/5) amaretto gelato & salted caramel sauce

We sat at the bar, had a couple of drinks, and shared the braised short ribs with butter poached crab on top, mashed potatoes underneath..the photos showed a much bigger piece of crab than what we got hahaha but the dish was tasty. Ambiance was nice. Bartender was friendly. We're going to have to come back to try other items on the menu!

Our server LUIS provides EXCEPTIONAL service! Highly recommend to ask to have LUIS to be your server. He always goes the EXTRA mile to provide EXCELLENT service! Food was great too. Their Caesar salad is one of the BEST we have EVER had. Has a unique very tasty flavor. Octopus appetizer has a unique flavor and very tasty. Calamari was good but not amazing as read on other reviews. Spaghetti was Too al dente for my taste. Hard to chew extra extra times to be able to eat it. Sauce is very good tho. AMAZING CHOICES: 1) Their Branzino! Full of flavor. Very tender. Cooked perfectly. 2) for dessert, make room for their AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS chocolate cake! Soooo yummy!! Great ambiance with amazing views of water shows in front of Bellagio!

This place gets all the points for its ambiance ,as it is bang opposite to the Fountain view. The staff was polite and quick with their service.They customized our dishes as per our requirements. The only issue is that - menu doesn't bifurcate veg and non- veg options plus there isn't much options for vegetarians. Gnocchi and Crème brulee was palatable and I am definitely visiting the place next time for it. Spaghetti was decent and I wish, there was some more quantity to it :(

Our first meal in town last Thursday was at Scarpetta. Our friends suggested it and love love this place. After our dinner, I understand why. Cheers to the ambiance. The stunning view of Bellagio's fountain sets the mood. There's no doubt what town you're in. Tasteful decor and friendly, helpful service create a casual elegance that started comfortable and felt downright cozy by meal's end. Even as the place filled up, the room was serene and the view inspiring. Our server felt like a friend. I kept it simple and my reward was the nicest plate of spaghetti with meatballs I've had in ages. Simple dishes urge perfection and this was well on its way with thick spaghetti cooked al dente, substantial and tasty sauce, and meatballs that melted in my mouth. Five diners, five great dishes. We were too stuffed for dessert. Four stars. I'd be happy to dine here again.

This Romantic restaurant had great views of the strip, very attentive service and the food was delicious! We did have a little difficulty finding it on the 3rd floor so a tip would be looking for the Essex & Beauty and just keep walking all the way to the back. I had the AGNOLOTTI and my boyfriend had the TAGLIOLINI AGLI SCAMPI. Both dishes were very rich and flavorful. However the Calamari stole the show and you could definitely tell it was fresh & not frozen, both of the sauces were delicious as well. I didn't get a picture of the bread basket but it had a delightful mix of breads from your standard sourdough slice to pieces with meat and cheese rolled into it.

After reading many reviewed, my husband picked this place to celebrate our anniversary/ my bday. He reserved online and one of the options was to send a pic of the guests in order to be greeted in a personalized matter upon our arrival. Well, that did not happen. In addition we were seated between 2 large parties , who were very noise/talkative. We did ask for another table but there was nothing else available. We wanted to seat by the window and have view of Bellagio fountains. The quality of the food and the excellent service compensated for the disappointment. The shrimp scampi was just perfection! The spaghetti with tomato basil was super good as well. Luis, our server, was fantastic. Super attentive and knowledgeable. We felt special when the Panna Cotta dessert and the chocolate truffles were brought to our table.

Really pleased with our dinner at Scarpetta! We asked for a table by the window and luckily there was one and we had a beautiful view of the water show at Bellagio. Started with a wonderful bread basket with an assortment of breads and dips. I could've gotten full just off this basket. The yellowtail crudo was lovely and a perfect palate cleanser before the pasta. So many choices, but had to go with their famed spaghetti and tomato sauce and added meatballs. I realized the meatballs were not necessary as the pasta was delicious on it's own. For dessert, we ordered a cheese plate, and it was more than we imagined. Plenty of fruit, grilled bread, nuts and delicious cheese. The blue cheese was our favorite! My only con with this place was they were much to eager to clear the area. My friend finished her ravioli before I was done with my pasta and as I was taking my time with it, every couple minutes they asked if they could clear my plate when I was clearly still working on it.
