text: Being a huge fan of Scott Conant on Chopped my wife and I made a point to visit Scarpetta as soon as we landed on Thursday night On the plane I joked that we better not get any sticky pasta and luckily we did not nnThe decor of the restaurant has a great feel and it is in a great location at the CosmopolitannnWhile the meal was fine there was just no wow factor The black pasta with lobster was good as was the veal chop but it was not great nnI am glad we tried Scarpetta but there are too many great restaurants in Vegas to visit this place any time soon
