So I've been reading about Chef Scott Conant's amazeballs spaghetti and wanted to check it out.
Scarpetta's super low key entrance
Chic and dim inside.
What we had:
Assorted breads with citrus infused olive oil, eggplant kalamata spread, and mascarpone
We don't normally polish off the bread basket but theirs was yummy.
Especially their version of the stromboli. *^_^*
Spaghetti with tomato and basil
Duck & foie gras ravioli with a Marsala reduction
Zeppole (Italian doughnuts) with Nutella center, vanilla sauce & candied hazelnuts
Complimentary chocolate biscotti and lemon cookies
Thoughts:
Ok, the spaghetti was yummy but really nothing to write home about.
In fact between the two dishes, the duck ravioli was the real winner.
It was soo rich and delish!
The zeppole was good but I wish they were sweeter.
Service was really fantastic though.
We didn't get our bread until our entrees came (and only after telling the waiter) so the zeppole was on the house.
Oh and interesting tidbit: It seems to be quite popular with Asians.
Kinda reminded me of Bouchon...lol.
Our verdict?
Worth another trip :)
But wait there's more! Check out the view we had:
The Bellagio fountains!
What I wore:
Coat: H&M
Dress: Suzi Chin
Bag: Chanel
Shoes: Salvatore Ferragamo
I'm not too fond of this outfit b/c I think it makes me look older and maybe even a little preggers...lol. (I'm not btw)
Would heels and a different dress have made it better or no?
I feel like I'm still trying to figure out my own style and being open to constructive criticism gets me a step closer to that. :)
Oh and I apparently can't center myself in photos either...haha :o)
I took quite a few pics so there will be a part 3. (Last one...promise!)
P.S
For shits and giggles
I think it should be titled "Shit Hipsters in L.A Say" but the bit about parking?
SO true.
