Scampo at the Liberty Hotel serves up lively Italian fare with a twist, featuring handmade pasta, a mozzarella bar, and crowd-pleasing lobster pizza in a chic, former jailhouse setting.
"An Italian restaurant at the Liberty Hotel run by Lydia Shire, known for its innovative Italian cuisine." - Erika Adams
"We’re suckers for a perma-packed, high-energy Italian/Mediterranean restaurant with a busy bar and open kitchen. Scampo ticks all those boxes and more. Located in the basement of the Liberty Hotel (formerly the Charles Street jail), the restaurant has a large orange and wood-covered space, and an energetic staff that feels like they might break into a song and dance routine at any moment. It's a great spot for a group dinner where you can order shareable plates of crispy soft shell crab risotto and duck with celery root gnocchi. Or, just sit at the bar and get an appetizer and lobster pizza for under $60." - tanya edwards

"The renowned chef Lydia Shire currently runs the acclaimed restaurant Scampo inside the Liberty Hotel." - Erika Adams
"Located inside The Liberty Hotel, which was formerly the Charles Street Jail, you’ll find this buzzy, brick-walled Italian restaurant and its big, bold food. A tandoori oven plays a central role on the menu, which blisters and chars the many breads and pizzas available in the perfect way, including the supremely popular white clam and bacon pizza. Meat and fish entrees are also cooked in the tandoori. And that’s not all — there is a mozzarella bar serving the milky cheese in various ways, including as part of spaghetti dishes, specials, steaks, sides, and homemade pastas and rice dishes, like deviled crab risotto.Where: 215 Charles St, Boston, MA 02114" - MATADOR_NETWORK
