Scarpetta in City of London, Westminster

We had the valentines set menu ! Pasta tasted really fresh!

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

Absolute melt in your mouth food & melt your ❤️ food. Tasted gorgeous & all freshly cooked. I am very fussy when it comes to food but this was absolutely fabulous - Great hard working and attentive kind staff too always on hand. Bravo! X P.S - Made with Love!!! X

Had a lovely time here, Natasha was an absolute natural and super welcoming. Food was delicious! The restaurant had a relaxed feel which made for a nice experience.

Just an excellent experience in every respect. Fresh pasta, authentic sauces, fresh foccacia, arancini and Nutella gnocchi. An interesting range of wines and at a reasonable price. Staff and service were great. All this within a short walk from Liverpool Street Station. Highly recommended based on this lovely evening. Thank you Scarpetta.

Esta bien camarera atento comida italiana Bon precio!!!

Central location with lovely food.

Food (stuffed pasta) was chewy. Menu pretty much pasta only. Waitress lovely but undertrained. Large air conditioning vent above our table was intrusive. Decor bland/drear. And very expensive, for what it was. This is the first review under three stars I've ever given.

Amazing price and exceptional service. Natasha was attentive without being disruptive and was so lovely I couldn’t recommend this restaurant any more. Also really good prices for central London!

Came here for dinner with friends, was served by Natasha. She made the experience so worth it the food she suggested top notch too. Definitely recommend this place for a chill dinner with friends and you wouldnt be disappointed by the service.

Very limited menu if you are diabetic and avoiding carbs or if you need to avoid wheat. Service was not great and totally inflexible.

Came here for my anniversary meal. The pasta was very tasty and the service was amazing. Was served by a woman who said it was their first week working there, but her service was of the highest quality. Thank you for making it a great anniversary meal.

Amazing food and service!!! Natasha the waitress was amazing!!

Amazing customer service. I've ben there twice, and I've been served from a manager, blonde lady. Both times, great smile and very professional. She recommends some pastas and a chocolate cake. I'll be back again for sure.

Our pastas were literally the best food we got in London. So happy we found this place, with great food, nice and cozy atmosphere and very friendly staff. Thanks a lot, guys!

Expensive for what it is. Paid £50 for two mains, a shared focaccia and a drink. Plus, compulsory service charge (service was alright not amazing) and a £1.99 charge to pay the bill from your table! Food however was very nice.

Nice, simple pasta dishes, bit pricey though

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.

Great food but bill came out with still water charge and we received tap water. Had to push to get it removed. Also please don't force your customers to pay through an app and then also pay for the privilege.

Like we say in french: "C'est une dinguerie"

Nice, cosy, with a delicious food restaurant in the city. Great customer service too!

The indoor and outdoor seating here is really beautiful and the staff are very friendly! They have an allergy menu so it’s accessible for people with allergies. The food here is average, though, but it’s still worth visiting because of the atmosphere. Their drinks selection is very extensive and good!

The pasta was very good. Service was very slow and the venue was not even half full.

The Tonnarelli 'Nduja & Sausage pasta is one of the most delicious dishes I have eaten in my life. The Nutella Gnocchi were also spectacular. The service was exceptional. Will come back soon!

Food it's delicious and fresh, nice and cozy environment. Definitely recommend 👌🏻

This place is perfection - fav lunch spot!

Was great, but gone to the dogs - overcooked or cold pasta, while prices up and portions down 😔

Beef ragu pasta was great, tiramisu is also a highlight.

Great food, service a little slow. Lovely little place to dine.

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.

Well priced for a London restaurant.

Barátságos környezet,figyelmes kiszolgálás, finom ételek.Szívesen visszatérek és másoknak is ajánlom.

Nagyon barátságos környezet. Gyors kiszolgálás finom ételek. Szívesen visszatérek máskor is. Másoknak is ajánlom, ezt az éttermet.

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…

Loud, expensive, small portions on small plates on tiny tables. Avoid.

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.

Generous portion of very good chicken + veggies on the side for just under £9. Less than 5 minutes from door to table with full plate in front of your nose. Kind staff. Excellent.

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.

Nice place for dinner, lovely staff and manager

How can you serve up raw pasta, not al dente raw! Dough white chewy pasta shameful!

Server was patronising. I asked for gluten free options and she smirked and said we don’t do GF options. Even though the menus outside says they have GF options…

Nice flavour to the Cacio e pepe, but the pasta was just a bit too Al dente. Maybe 30 seconds to a minute more and it would have been perfect. Such a shame. They do a good happy hour deal. £5 for a glass of house wine 5-7pm.

Not only Scarpetta's served us the best meal we had in London, it is honestly the best Italian food we ever tasted. Reasonably priced for the delicious meals and drinks; plus our waitress was the best. A must if you are a foodie.....

They used to be better. Before lockdown they provider the option for wholewheat for all pastas but now only one can be wholewheat. Don't think I will be coming anymore

Nice Italian but limited menu. Didn’t have a few starters on the menu but went around dinner time. Personally prefer other Italians in London. ⭐️ Food 7/10 ⭐️ Atmosphere 6/10 ⭐️ Overall 6/10

Great quiet spot. Easy spot to pop in for a quick dinner.

Amazing place, amazing food and exceptional service from girl in her mid twenties with glasses. Highly recommended 👌

Food was really good topped with amazing service, hats off to the friendly staff!

Vibes and coffee amazing! Will be back for more 💕

Mooie tent maar de menukaart die op Maps staat is inmiddels weg. Dus kom je voor dan grijp je mis!

Good food with the best vibes. Service was top notch. The waiter, Kaevin was very accommodating and helped us a lot. Would definitely come again.

Lovely restaurant with tasty authentic Italian food and amazing service as well! 😊

High quality food and good service!

The best fast place to go for a quick bites for lunch. They have limited menu but with variety of choices to choose from. The taste was excellent and you can choose either a single item from the menu or opt for the popular lunch box.

Amazing service, great food and good vibes!

Absolutely fantastic. Service is on top, food got served quickly and was amazing. Great atmosphere.

Very good food. Staff not overly friendly, but they were efficient. Waiter kept trying to get us to spend more money. Annoying. Portions were good.

As good and authentic a pasta dish you will find in London.

Absolutely beautiful and wonderfully tasting food and lovely servers.

Great food but thought it was a bit overpriced...

The staff were nice and welcoming and very attentive. Pasta was good and the starters as well, the bill came up to £55 which is a bit pricey considering its just pasta! Not sure if I would come back again tbh.

Taer took very good care of us. He suggested the gnocchi dessert which was the best out of all the ones we tried. 10/10 would recommend. You heard it here first. Tell your friends.

Went here for dinner, the pasta itself was nice enough but the mushroom sauce was overall a bit stodgy. Bill came to about £50 for 2 dishes, a side and one non alcoholic drink which I felt was a bit expensive for what it was. Service was good.

Decent Food. Good collection of drinks, Nice ambiance and location.

정말 추천 생면 파스타를 먹을 수 있고 가격도 부담 적고! 아주 훌륭한 파스타 집이라 생각합니다

Great pasta as always and fantastic customer service, Sara - thanks for lovely evening.

Well executed tasty menu. Friendly staff. Contemporary take on Italian food matched by the decor.

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.

Been here in the weekend whit my girlfriend. The place was very busy but Sara was super nice and helpfull. She help whit the dietary requirements (vegan) of my girlfriend. Overall a great night and great food. Will be back for sure

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!

Tasty pasta, reasonable price Quite a cosy place

I had a very special Valentines night at Scarpetta Bishopsgate. Super friendly and polite staff and authentic Italian food. Would recommend to everyone.

We had the most attentive person taking care of us, from seating us as we both arrived, to explaining the menus and happy hour to us. 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. Alright visit but wouldn’t visit again.

Good handmade pasta, very quick and attentive service and good prices. Will definitely come back!

What a gem! Super friendly staff, really good food. Mushroom truffle was a pure gold, highly recommended, definitely looking forward to be back again soon!

Amazing food with equally brilliant service in a great location. Our fantastic waiter, Mateusz, recommended the arancini for starters and beef shin Ragu for a main - both were delicious and cooked perfectly. This was finished off with a great chocolate cake and several tasty cocktails. Will for sure be returning!

Great food and great service! One of the best pasta we ever had in London! The girls were super attentive and nice with us! This is that kind of restaurant where we will come back for sure! Nutella gnocchi were absolutely yummy :)

Can’t find a bad thing to say - this is a fantastic place. They were able to fit us in on late notice and served us way past close - they even rearranged the tables to accommodate our pram 👶. The starters, pasta and dessert were all great as well. Fantastic service, great food, reasonable prices- what more can you ask for? Do yourself a favor and stop in!

After celebrating my birthday here, me and my friends can not stop coming back, the food is delicious, very testy and fresh with a lot of options as a starters (Truffle Aancini and Pecorino & Truffle are my favourites ones ), for mains there are a lot choices of fresh pastas/sauces and grilled chicken and as dessert Nutella Gnocchi is a MUST to try!!!

Good food , fresh and delicious. Fast and helpful service. And excellent coffe

Had a lovely time, food was nice and well priced. Booked for 7pm and arrived late and they still gave us happy hour prices (before 7pm) for 1 drink which was very thoughtful.

Very pleasent place with caring, attentive staff. The chief Mateusz was amazing with his skills of making these tasty fresh pasta. If you don't get there, you are missing out on the best pasta in the town.

We popped in for a coffee in passing to find the care and attention in preparing the glorious cup was extraordinary. We will be popping in on a regular basis from now.

Good food, the staff are quick and helpful, smooth operation when it's busy. Only issue is the queueing system is a bit awkward, just standing in the middle of people eating at their tables feels a bit rude to the people sitting down. But that's not really an issue, just a point of note.

Definitely one of the top pasta places in London!

Amazing food - pasta was delicious, no complaints from our table of 9. Staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. Great atmosphere too.

I ordered the Beef & Truffle ravioli and Chianti & Beef pasta. The service was not bad at all, they were attentive and always checked back on us. Even though it was busy. There were a few faults: the food order was mixed with another table so our food was served late. Which is forgivable since they seemed to have new staff. And then I found out my pasta was raw in the middle. I considered if it could be El-Dente but I checked by looking inside the pasta and it was white and too chewy until I could taste the dough. They kindly offered complimentary Bruschetta and recooked my pasta for me. Second time....exact same. Raw on the inside. At this point I had nothing to say, it was too awkward and disappointing. I don’t blame the front of house at all, they were lovely. But I really want to know how the chef could make the same mistake twice. Additional info: I went back home to cook the pasta myself to make sure it was DEFINITELY cooked😂

Everything about this place is nice apart from the food, which was almost flavourless. I had two forkfulls and left the rest. There are hundreds of better places to get good quality Italian food in London. I would strongly recommend trying somewhere else.

Staff members are great as well as the pasta.

Tasty options and friendly staff.

Amazing food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. Couldn't rate it highly enough

Pasta and Desserts are fantastic, taste deliciously, especially tiramisu. Nice location and brilliant staffs, would recommend to friends to come and will definitely come again 👍

Menjar italià ràpid de qualitat I bon preu

Great ambiance and pasta The customer service was amazing and pur group was served by Floriana . I would highly reccomend this place, i ordered the pasta (carpe) and iced coffee.

Finally good pasta in London. However, one of the waitress could be a little more friendly and less upset when a customer asks for something.

Lovely little cafe for takeout pasta and coffee during a workday!
