   The quality of the food is quite high, but the place looks as if it opened in the 1990s and has not changed since. Loud acoustics worsened by Muzak. Service is quite pretentious, but haphazard. Wine selections are quite limited and mediocre. Come for the food and ignore the rest.

   I loved the food and wine selections at Scarpetta. The staff seemed to know exactly when to check in on us.

   The service from our arrival to checking out was perfect. The food came on time and hot. We all loved the arugula salad. My husband had the strip and

   Great pasta and steak. Had drinks in the library bar before dinner which was also great.

   Not sure what happened to this place. I’ve been a customer since the concept opened with Scott in NYC. This food last night in Philly had zero finesse, literally piles of crap on the top of the proteins, poorly sliced fish and water in the bottom of my lobster dish. Not recommended and light years from the original concept.

   Always wonderful to have a seat overlooking Rittenhouse Square to go along with a great meal. The service, the seasonal vegetable salad, and the scallops were particularly notable.

   Was seated immediately, and put in drink order in reasonable time. But then took forever to get drinks and bread. Waiter mentioned bread service when pouring water then literally took about 30min to get drinks and bread while watching other tables have 2 servings of bread in that span. Also had to watch server check on other tables but essentially never checked on us unless he was bringing us something. So very frustrating Valentine's Day date night. Once first course came out the rest of pre fixe menu was served in a more reasonable timing, but just didn't feel that special of a dinner.

   The ambiance is quite outdated. Food was ok but no where near the one in NYC. Maybe it’s because they had a fixed menu for Valentine’s Day. Our server Ryan and Edwin were excellent.

   Service was incredibly slow and seemed to be understaffed. Food was good though.

    Was here for Valentine’s Day dinner. As advertised it was a fixed menu with limited choices. The appetizer course was quite good. The pasta course, the lobster was clearly frozen and tasteless. I had to return the first try because it was way too salty. The mushroom pasta was good. The main course, I saw the waiter bring it out as we were eating the pasta course and he made a U turn to return the dishes. When the dishes finally arrived the steak was cold from sitting (but the meat was tender). The scallops were just horrible. Smelled off and it looked boiled. Could not eat it. When the waiter took away the main dish he did not ask why the scallop dish was not even touched!? The dessert course was clearly not house made, a heavy hand scoop of cake and frozen cheesecake. Should have complained about the scallops but we had enough….not a good showing.
