Scarpetta London in City of London, Westminster

We only had coffees in the place. The palace was super quiet as the only customers were us at the time, afternoon approx 4pm. The place is clean and tidy, with music playing. The fridge or some equipment was a bit noisy.

Graziosissimo ristorante di pasta fresca italiano, buoni i primi per un pranzo veloce, grande la cordialità di Fabiana che ci ha accolti. Consigliato!

This is a solid choice lunchtime eatery in the City. It has a small buy selection of food to eat in or takeaway, that includes a lunchbox of protein plus two veg. Or cooked in front of you selection of pastas. The evening menu is much better. And if native Italians like it, then it's a winner for me.

I discovered this little spot and now I can't enough of it. The dishes are always well prepared and you get what you paid for. The staff is so friendly, I had the chance to be served by a girl with tatoos and she gave me the best adivce on what to eat, as I am very picky with my food. I crave their chocolate cake, it is to die for. Will defo go again there. ( I go there at least once a week )

Nicely decorated place. Welcoming was good . Despite the place was nearly empty, we had to wait ages for our food . The arancini were tasteful, but a bit pale for my taste . The tuna tartar was excellent, and the dessert, Afogato, they forgot the crumble . Service was a bit lost. A bit of a hit and miss .

Came on a Wednesday for lunch, plenty of tables available. I went for the lunch tray. The options I took were spicy chicken, faro, spinach leaves, steamed broccoli and aubergine salad. The food was good and felt that it was healthy. I would have preferred if they offered a sugar-free soda which wasn't coke.

Had a quick lunch between meetings. Nice friendly staff with a decent looking buffet selection of pasta dishes. I took the bolognaise option plus a side of grilled broccoli. Decent sized portions served in boxes. I ate in. Food is ok, but they really do need to be a little more generous with the sauce. Mine came with very little bolognaise meat sauce. All for about £15. Not bad and nice enough atmosphere. But could do better.

Today we had a exceptional dining experience with authentic, flavorful Italian pasta dishes The Beef shin and cacio e pepe were delicious and the Tiramisu was heavenly. The warm ambiance and attentive service made the evening truly memorable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking delicious Italian cuisine!

Idk why there's 4.3 stars the food was really bad. We ordered the burrata salad and it was as if we were eating straight salt. I then ordered the sausage pasta for main and the sauce did not taste good and the sausage felt as if it was out on the counter for ages and then reheated again. My friend ordered Casio e pepe and she couldnt even finish the whole thing. Would not recommend.

Every thing was undercooked. Staff were inattentive.

Food was amazing, very fresh and full of labour. The Nutella gnocchi is wow, very much worth it😍. Staff are very polite

Swetha waa absolutely phenomenal, please try and taste this absolute service and cusine ♥️

This place is actually a little gem. I thought it was a restaurant but it’s not just. They do takeaway predominantly through lunch. The menu changes a d specials and on the boards above. I had wild boar and pancetta (large) for £11.99. It was pretty awesome. The pasta was sound but the accompaniment made the pasta sing. It was delicious. The portion looked a little small for large but it was filling! It was white so service was quick. I liked it and I’m curious to try the other specials now. I will go back. Glad I went there Also took a photo of a guy making past through that machine! Awesome!

Very poor service and disappointing. The price are high for the amount they give and they fraud the customer. We bought also a piece of cake of 3.60 pound .The price 3.60 was written in on a big piece of paper but where we are paying we saw that we paid this cake not 3.60 but 4.90 pound. The lady kept the credit card payment of cake and refused to give the difference and the piece of cake too! We ask why and they send us the manager. The manager prefer give a refund but not the cake! It is a week and I have not received the refund .,.I need to do a complaint for 4.90 pound. So I paid that piece of cake about 10 pound without eat it too! Plus the box with 3 things inside for dinner must be 9 pound and they charge 13 pound! The manager trick too:I have payed twice for a little piece of cake(Pastiera napoletana) that I have never eat never received the refund by the manager!

Lovely fresh pasta, lovely wine at good prices! Only thing is we felt a little rushed. Otherwise would have been a 5*

Pleasant Italian food, definitely it’s better in Italy, but still very good I enjoyed the food and the place, everything is clean and nice

Fantastic lunch spot. Great prices for really quality pasta and always very fast. Nico helped me out today, and he definitely cares about the experience here. Can't recommend enough!

Did an order through too good to go with Scarpetta, gotta say I'm very impressed with the results I got, not sure what it actually was though, if anyone from Scarpetta could let me know would be great so I know what to order when I bring a friend or even a date!

This is a lovely Italian with amazing food. We went for a family meal and ended up having 3 courses which were loved by everyone, especially the buratta on top of the pasta dishes. Everyone was welcoming and friendly to us. Also very good prices. Since it was one of our birthdays we also got a bottle of champagne! We will definitely be returning!

The service was nice and the ambient is good. its a bit expensive for pasta. i ordered a tuna tartar which is disappointing. too salty, and the fish is not fresh. 2 ordered AUBERGINE & WILD MUSHROOM PACCHERI its more of a red sauce and pasta only cant taste the aubergine nor the mushrooms. We paid almost £300 for 8 people.

I have been to this place few years ago and I had a really good experience, pasta was fresh and sauces really tasty, unfortunately I cannot say the same about this visit.. we had the nduja and the beef pasta, I was disappointed that was the same kind of pasta for both of them, undercooked not al dente, and it was hard to find a piece of beef in the sauce. Really sorry about this review but I really loved this place but something has changed.

Sweta was our server and she was great! She made our dining experience very enjoyable. Thank you!

It is just a kind reminder and I am not hostile. I had Bolognese pasta which was only about merely 20 grains of minced beef in it. The worst thing to maximise your profit is to make customers feel they overpaid for their purchased which I did. Unless their food match the level of expectation like the ones in the photos, I am sure that there will be no returning customers. I sincerely hope the restaurant will understand my view and improve.

This is a pleasant little Italian eatery; not the most romantic spot but the staff worked hard to provide as much ambiance as they could - turning down the lighting levels and moving tables for better placement.. The rocket salad with Buratta was delightful. The Rugia Pappardelle was very flavorful with fresh pasta. The wines were pleasant and reasonably priced.

Dinner with a friend to celebrate a belated birthday. Florianna & Christian were faultless with their attentive service, making us feel extremely welcome and comfortable from the offset. The starters were a little bland, but the main course was tasty and filling. Any porn star martini drinkers, we can highly recommend the "Porn Star Spritz". A lovely light, refreshing twist on the original.

very good pasta,fresh and tasty good prices also

What a surprise running into this place while walking around bank. Incredibly good food at reasonable price. The tiramisu was unreal.

Atmosphere is very elegant and staff is very polite too. But the food is not good and highly overpriced for the taste and quality.

Dined at the one in Cannon Street. I forgot the name of our waiter but he really did a fantastic job. He offered a 5 star service ensuring that we were all comfortable and we enjoyed our meal while also incorporating great humour which made the ambiance really alive. He is indeed a great addition to your team and deserves a good raise as people like him in the service sector is what makes the experience tailored. Food-wise, burrata and the nduja pasta is a must!

Average food. Little of that. You shouldn't be hungry. Bored but friendly staff. There was chaos in the only toilet and it looked like...

Lovely little place with great food and atmosphere

Went in for lunch . Quick service and amazing pasta . Will come back for sure

I like the food and the way they treat the costumers. Mainly the manager he help as to order food i was trying this food first time . It was a nice experience

The Pasta quality in this branch is terrible. They keep reheating the same old pasta, the result is a chewy blob. Also they charge for extra cheese, but what is included is not sufficient for the large and already expensive portion this used to be free. Poor quality and greedy. Never Again !

Had a great experience, really appreciate

Visited one Friday evening in July 2023 with my wife and 6 month old daughter. The staff were very friendly and accommodating to us (considering we had a pram) and the food was really tasty - the Nduja pasta was a hit, so was the cacio e Pepe. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of food - would definitely return

Great service and wonderful food. We had focaccia bread starter - delicious - and then various pasta - all excellent. Shared a tiramisu to finish :)

Miki is great - amazing place !

We has a great time and especially the service from Francesco, very polite, friendly and funny. Worth coming back again and taste the fresh pasta.

Reading all these good reviews I feel that I must have been unlucky. First time trying pasta at Scarpetta was a very disappointing experience. Pasta was half cooked (not al dente), it was literally barely cooked. Mushroom truffle sauce was ok but a tiny portion. And it cost almost £9 🙄

Fantastic fresh pasta and great service - highly recommended!

This place impressed me through its simplicity. Clasic, chill and cozy italian restaurant. They have a good selection of pasta and starters to choose from, not to mention the wines. They were able to accomodate 6 people at a table also. The staff and service was great and it can be seen that hardworking people work there. This place is a must go if you like italian food, especially because they are making their pasta from scratch! Big up!

Awful pasta all we could taste was hard pasta and water there was hardly any sauce and so expensive we will never be back

This one is pretty small, so better for take away for lunch. However I had a nice time. However would say that there aren't enough veggie options for starters.

I love this restaurant, it's one of my favourite. Amazing Italian food and the service from the staff makes you feel very welcome.

Super good and impeccable service

Succulent👌. Very cosy and warm restaurant. Service was great and waitresses were available and very helpful. The menu was correct and food was great 👍

Lovely pasta and great if you need something filling, a box of this stuff will keep you going for days 😂

Food is OK. Fresh but not amazing.

Nice staff that are willing to hand you very very good food. Amazed by the fact they don't wanna keep it all themselves. Ps go for the Cacio E Pepe if you really want to enjoy it to the max!!

Very tasty homemade noodles, the service was great and the atmosphere was pleasant. The cutlery and what was served was changed several times. The service was very friendly and helpful. The food was prepared quickly.

Great food and drinks, friendly staff. A little too hot upstairs and no AC

Best place for delicious pasta and coffee around Canon Street..... Beautiful ad very helpful staff.

The cuisine is really impressive and the service is super friendly.

I didn't like this restaurant at all. The quality of the food is terrible and I was left hungry because of the small quantity. I do not recommend it at all since on top of that the staff is not friendly.

Loved the fresh options here. Ordered a grilled chicken with rice & salad combo & it was a fresh, soulful lunch during a busy midday at work & moreso its right next to my workplace.

Starts feeling like a rip-off. Been going here for lunch for multiple years, since pre-pandemic, while working in the area. Pasta used to be good and at a fair price. A couple of years back one used to pay around £7 for a regular portion. One now pays £8.95 while portion sizes have become noticeably smaller, being left hungry after lunch. None of my other usual lunch spots have seen as steep price increases as this one. Will stop going going forward.

Pasta was a bit thick, but delicious

Food was okay, small portion so was still a little hungry. Place is tiny so felt a bit squashed and didn't have much privacy. The staff were amazing, really friendly.

Pretty tasty Italian spot in London, not super crowded which is good on weekends. Fresh pasta and salads make it memorable. Staff very kind and friendly.

Amazing staff and really good food! Great vibe! Recommend the chocolate dessert :)

Suitable for friends' gathering with good food, chill environment and kimd service. Special: handmade Italian pasta Price: 35/person (with a starter, pasta, dessert and drink)

That’s really an amazing place and good quality of food 🍱 I love the food bags through TooGoodToGo that is a great option for much break when I am at workplace

Pasta here is nice, but unfortunately large recent price hikes make me unable to recommend Scarpetta. A small takeaway lunch portion now starts from £9, and there is very little protein in the sauces. Excessive pricing compared to other local lunch places.

I visited the restaurant in late September 2022. This used to be my go to place for a pasta lunch pre-pandemic. I am sorry to say but unfortunately this place is not as good value for money. While the prices have gone up due to inflation (the same as in other similar establishments), my biggest concern was the "cheapening" of the experience. The pasta menu has changed and not for the best. The offerings seem to be simpler than before and it seems as if the driver was cost of materials rather than a focus on making the dishes desirable. Because of this it seems some dishes are really simple like pasta with a bit of tomato sauce for around £10 in the large size container. The restaurant also offers salads and sweets which I always considered to be on the pricier side and have not tried them. Because of the above I have downgraded my review as of early October 2022 to 3 stars compared to 5 earlier. My strongest suggestion to management is to seriously rethink their offering to customers at their chosen price point.

The pasta and the coffee was really delicious, thank you. 😊

Excellent and kind service, very nice for children, fresh pasta. The sauces and the food are not quite at the level of Italy, but the pasta is perfectly fine. We will come back again just for the service

Double-charged me for my meal, and refused to reverse the incorrect second charge.

The food was quite good and a well sized portion. I highly recommend the desserts which were really nice! The young girl with brown hair was really polite, agreeable and did her job really well. However, the woman with ginger hair and glasses was very rude on several occasions! I never have issues with waiters and rarely leave ratings but she was very rude to my friends and I. We were having a nice time but this really made us want to cut our time there short. Would have given the restaurant 4 stars if it weren’t for this…

I would say pretty average pasta. People go here just because of rule of thumb. They do not ask themselves the question whether the food they eat is actually good and they just consume. Since people go there, they just tag along with the group thinking and end up eating as well. The different varieties of pasta do not have a lot of sauce and the dough from which the penne is made is REALLY heavy on the stomach. Would recommend you try out once to determine for yourself.

Really bad restaurant , this absolutely is not italian food !

Lovely dinner in the evening of 20th September 2022. I think the person who served us was Debby? She was fantastic and attentive. The pasta was cooked perfectly Al dente and that’s how it should be. I don’t get the negative review saying pasta was hard??? It should always be Al dente and not mushy and soft. I’d come back again for other dishes.

Fresh daily pasta, original products, very kind staff, good coffee, variety of alternative milks, good atmosphere. Im happy to recommend.✌🏻

No pizza here ...pasta was ok .

Fantastic lunch spot in bank. The truffle pasta and fresh creamy burrata are my top picks.

Nice dine in experience in London for italian food!

Deliziosa cucina italiana....direi sorprendente x qualità è abbondanza dei piatti Consigliato x chi ha nostalgia della nostra cucina

We had the Beef Shin Ragu, Beef Tortelloni, and the Aubergine and Wild Mushroom mains. Wonderful little bistro restaurant!

Amazing dining experience. They even made a dessert just for us.

I had a dinner yesterday and the pasta was amazing, one of the best Italian restaurant I been, our servers were super kind, friendly and helpful doing the best recommendations to us we love all the food we got, thank you to everyone on the shift for make our night!

Quick service, great food. Nice environment and helpful staff

Excellent Italian place. Excellent service and extremely friendly staff; it feels like home

Pastas are nice there and staff is quite friendly. However, I’m giving 2 stars as I’ve been charged +£1.5 more than it was shown on the dashboard. Their excuse was that prices changed (from one week to another) and the board has not been updated. Also their TooGoodToGo is miserable as the quantity/quality food is not worthy the price (higher than average).

Excellent service and quality food.

Very basic/standard pasta, no specific taste

We decided to have authentic Italian for our last night in London. We stopped here and had to wait 10 minutes before anyone came to our table. We finally ordered and then we’re brought out the wrong food. When it was corrected the food we did get was way under cooked. We told our waiter and he spoke to the chef who said it was perfectly cooked and did not want to redo our order. The sauce also had about a half a bottle of salt dumped in. W waited another 20 min to get our check because we needed to get out of this horrible restaurant. WARNING DO NOT EAT HERE NOT WORTH EVEN A CHANCE.

Delicious. The bruschetta with cheese was probably the best I've ever tasted

Lunchbox with fresh rice, nice chicken in lemon and herb with olive oil, roasted cauliflower and tomato aubergine side-excellent. Marocchino coffee espresso chocolate and frothy milk and amaretto cookie-authentic Italian feel cafe in London. I would recommend stop off for break and lunch.

A good Italian coffee in the company of my son in a very comfortable place served by kind staff

Wow, a little corner of Italy in a busy city like London. Top quality dishes with truly Italian ingredients! Friendly and smiling staff. I hope to return!!

Really surprised by how good the pasta here was. We came here on a Tuesday evening and had the PICI N’DUJA & SAUSAGE and MUSHROOM & TRUFFLE PAPPARDELLE. The pasta in both was perfectly el dente and both sauces were deliciously rich with the right blend of spiciness, sausage and tomato in the pici and mushroom and truffle in the pappadelle. Service was quick and pleasant. Very enjoyable experience

Very good tortellini with pumpkin and trueffel.

Decent food. Disappointing atmosphere/decor compared to some reviews I'd read online. Not the romantic quiet date night style place, seemed quite corporate and typical of the City area. Service bit slow. Ok for a casual meal but wouldn't recommend for any special occasion

The pasta was quite hard to bite and it’s quite salty.

Great menu, awesome service..will be back.

Great food and service! Will visit again

Mushy sticky pasta (?), extremely salty (I could not eat mine at all). Disappointing.

How is this a large? The box is barely filled. This is the same amount of pasta that my friend got in her regular…so I am just paying for the cardboard and I’m still hungry at lunch..

Great selection of tasty pasta; not a huge menu which is good - what they do, they do well

unbelievably salty pasta, was completely inedible
