I recently visited scarpetta in London, and unfortunately, it fell far short of my expectations. I was really looking forward to the meal, but the pasta was a big letdown, it was so dry and cold. When I saw back to see the chef it was an Indian university students– the food lacking flavor and freshness. The cocktails also missed the mark; they didn’t have the quality or taste I was hoping for. The service was great, which I do appreciate, but overall, it was a disappointing experience. I’d rate my visit 3/10.

Arrived at 12 noon. Food service was quick, and whilst tasty it was very cold. Drink turned up at the table after I'd eaten my meal. It wasn't busy so not sure why it took so long to make a cup of tea. Halfway through the meal, music was put on at full blast causing me and other tables to vacate the restaurant as soon as I'd eaten. The option to stay longer for dessert diminished immediately.

Nice little Italian down a back street, friendly service if a bit slow. Well made pasta, great flavours, portions on the small side. Nutella gnocchi a highlight

Scarpetta Italian Restaurant in London is actually awesome! I loved their pasta, especially the beef shin ragu pappardelle—it was amazing and so tasty. The only downside is that the portions are a bit small, but the food is delicious.

A nice little pasta place. They have a couple of vegan options - but only tomato based. I tried the aubergine and mushroom pasta which was pretty nice. The pasta itself is extremely al dente - nice but not for everyone. The restaurant has a nice vibe and the staff were friendly.

This seems like a popular place to pick up lunch given how busy it is. At the counter you can choose from a selection of different pastas that are clearly freshly made as occasionally you have to briefly wait while a new batch appears. The pasta choices are good though and a pro tip is that if you go for a large size you can mix two different pastas together. As for the food it's pretty tasty and quite filling. It would probably be more interesting eating in as then you'll have salad and bread and suchlike but the takeaway option is decent.

A large portion of pasta with burrata cheese is £14! They don’t tell you how much would that lump of cheese will cost before putting it on. They just ask if you want it, obviously you can’t really imagine a bog standard lunch pasta would cost FOURTEEN POUNDS before you agreeing to get a piece of cheese. Daylight robbery!

Awful experience. Went for my birthday as a vegetarian. Most Italian food isn’t vegetarian due to Parmesan but I checked which one I could have and was told I could have 3 of the pastas. However this wasn’t true. When I said that I couldn’t have that one she changed her mind as to what was vegetarian. Completely clueless but could’ve easily checked with a manager or someone more knowledgeable. Ended up leaving despite having nowhere else to go, due to her rudeness as she was rolling her eyes at us and talking about how annoying it was to her colleagues. Definitely do not come here if you have allergies or dietary requirements as you will be told you can eat things that you can’t! I don’t usually review or walk out of restaurants but I felt very uncomfortable

LOCATION: The resturant is a bit difficult to find if you are looking at google map, the resturant is not on the main street as Google map suggested, you need to come to the small alley way off the main street. FOOD: You can tell the pasta is freshly made, it tastes amazing. Scarpetta is a small place, a fast food vibe, and a decent price. Would definitely recommend it.

Charged £4 for water, unaware it wasn’t tap water. My boyfriends pappardelle was salty but he didn’t want to send it back and make a scene, made waitress aware and she said we should have told her sooner, which in hindsight is right. But also doesn’t give option to remove “discretionary” service charge upon paying so I just paid it. The booking was for his birthday which I made a note of when booking online.

Not good experience unfortunately! Came here for dinner on a Thursday evening. We ordered two starters: bruschetta with Nduja and burrata (good) and arrosticini (very dry and overpriced). As main we took zucchini and gamberi pasta + arrabbiata bucatini. Although picture looks good, again here pasta was without flavour and borderline uncooked (I would not define that pasta “al dente”). Service was average, cook had to ring bell with our food 4 times before it being picked up. Bill was ok for city prices, but food quality not there…

Enjoyed the pasta, but the wine by the glass (Montepulcano) was absolutely awful, while it should not have been so bad according to Vivino - probably they store it wrongly while uncorked. I've ordered espresso and tiramisu, and the cake was forgotten, but at all least not charged.

Have been to Scarpetta a number of times and it does not disappoint. Seating is limited so would recommend booking. Tried a new starter for a change (mussels) which were nice but a little dry. I had the prawn pasta for main which I cant fault- tasted very fresh and was a good sized portion. I will definitely be returning

I got the lunch tray with my colleague and the box looks small but its actually very filling. For 9.95 you get grains, topped with protein (grilled chicken or vegetarian option) and two sides. I got sweet potato and roasted aubergine. They change everyday. A healthy, nutrition packed lunch!

Used to be a reliable go to for the quality pasta and reasonable prices. But recently the pasta is dry owing to too little sauce, and the prices have rocketed. Now over a tenner for a regular sized box of pasta. A real pity.

Tasty al dente sausage pasta and flourless chocolate cake. Friendly staff. But this is a fast food cafe not a restaurant experience - cramped tables, cheap hard chairs (window seats are literally a plank of wood) and it was freezing in there. A few people were sitting in coats. We left as quickly as we could. Reply to restaurant: I simply reported the facts. Treat feedback as a gift which enables you to improve your appeal, rather than viewing it as a negative.

I had high hopes for this restaurant having read the reviews. However, we did not enjoy the food at all! The starters were fairly nice but the pasta was undercooked, (not al dente!), and was unpleasant to eat. There wasn’t much flavour either, which made the dinner a chore to finish. The two people sitting next to us also commented on the pasta being undercooked and they also had the beef. Personally wouldn’t recommend as you can find more tastier pasta dishes elsewhere!

The food from the happy hour menu was delicious, can't recommend enough. My friend has the anrancini balls with truffle and I had the bruschetta with rustic tomatoes. Both amazing. I tasted one of the arancini balls and they were so fresh and light. We both had the same pasta which was spicy burrata. Oh wow. Honestly, I wish I had space for it all. The cocktails too were delicious! Our bill was around £70 which for that area of London and the food and drink we enjoyed, is great value. Highly recommend.

overhyped takeaway pasta. what you're paying for is basically dry pasta with baaarely any sauce - skimping on ingredients for the basic pasta. coco di mama is so much tastier and they actually put sauce on the pasta. utterly bland and devoid of flavour. only worthy of an extra star as the sides are not bad. if you want good hand made pasta, eataly is your best bet.

Experience was okay. A bit tight inside & rather loud to have normal conversations. The truffle arancini and bruschetta was nice but the mains - beef shin ragu and pesto gnocchi were on the salty side. One of the best things was the happy hour and cocktails were tasty.
