    It’s in a hotel, so vibe is a bit meh. Would have been better if we had been seated by window as requested. There were plenty of tables open at our late evening arrival time, yet they said they were reserved. No one sat in them all night, until last service..which we are sure if since we sat in her back corner by the register and could see them all clearly.

    I a have celiac disease and this was the best menu and dinning option I’ve encountered. The staff was very helpful and the food was excellent! For someone who is gluten free, it was awesome to have hot fresh rolls, fantastic pasta dishes, and great sides. I also thought it was a good value and enjoyed the 2 course menu!

    Service was average. Our water was filled once, one meal was not edible and chef was insisting it wax fine. Asked to have it removed. In fact my guest was sick on the way home from the bad meal - waiter was missing most of the meal

    Despite a 20 minute wait beyond our reservation, we did have a wonderful evening as it was further enhanced by servers, Daniela and Salvatore. Both very well-versed with the menu. Food was exceptional as is expected from Scarpetta. Did not get the bartenders name, but made a terrific Negroni Spagliato..!

    The food was delicious and the ambiance was very nice. The service itself was a little on the slow side but the servers themselves were all pleasant.

    When we arrived the hostess said she would be glad to seat us in exactly 7 minutes the time of our reservation. We asked to sit at a different table closer to the window and were told it was reserved. No one ever came. The restaurant we very empty. Service off. Food pretty good. Will not return

    Fabulous fabulous fabulous We go here 4-6x a year and it is consistently wonderful. We are pretty tough critics and been to a number of restaurants all over Philly .. but we keep coming back here — food is flavorful and service excellent.. and great park views as well. Really nice ambiance. All around better than most restaurants in Philly.
