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.

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!

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.

Beautiful food and very very delicious- however I feel like it’s important to mention that when this restaurant says spicy, it actually is . Arrived without a reservation and Flo was very nice to move us first to the only available table to side, and later to a nicer table when it was free. Great service!

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.

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
