"An Italian restaurant that is located at the James New York Nomad; it first opened in 2008 with John Meadow and Scott Conant at the helm. John Meadow is in the process of opening a new restaurant called Barlume in Flatiron and remains connected to LDV Hospitality, while Scott Conant has since branched off to open his own restaurants in Arizona and upstate New York." - Melissa McCart
"It may not be as traditional as turkey or stuffing, but housemade pasta needs to be part of any meal at Scarpetta. That’s why even on Thanksgiving, you’ll be happy the $425 meal kit from this Nomad Italian spot includes enough baked manicotti with truffle fontina fonduta sauce for four people. And don’t worry, it includes turkey and stuffing as well." - team infatuation
"After reopening for takeout and delivery service on June 2nd, Scarpetta donated 100% of their first week of delivery revenues to the Food Education Fund. In addition to their typical menu, they’re offering a weekly-changing dish designed by one of their employees that highlights that person’s background. You can check out their takeout and delivery menu here (note that their pick-up location is 109 E 56th street, which is different than their regular restaurant address)." - hannah albertine
"I was quite surprised and saddened to hear that iconic Scarpetta closed; I’m hoping Scott Conant opens something new, and Cindy Hudson’s Ortinique pop-up only made me miss that place more." - Olee Fowler
"Scarpetta’s beloved temple to Italian cuisine has only gotten better with age. And although the restaurant can be found in various cities across the globe, the flagship on Madison Avenue is still a must-visit. The sophisticated flower and plant filled outdoor set-up is especially lovely, and you can watch Madison Square Park from your table. To complement the handmade pastas, try the sparkling La Dolce Vita cocktail, made with Grey Goose Essences Watermelon & Basil, vermouth, and prosecco." - Vox Creative
