Great service, but the food was far below our expectations. The bread basket was great, my personal favorite was the salami infused slices. As far as the meals go, my date ordered the The Creamy Polenta as her appetizer and she seemed to enjoy it. I opted for the Short Rib Agnolotti as my main dish and the pasta was LOADED with raw minced horseradish which flat out overpowered the whole dish with almost every bite. And I LOVE spicy food, but it would took my breath away with almost every bite, so it was far too much for my liking. You would have to absolutely LOVE horseradish to even enjoy this dish. My date ordered The Risotto with vegetables from the Vegetarian menu which was just mixed diced vegetables. The dish came out at room temperature and did not taste good at all, so the order was sent back. I will not be returning to Scarpetta, nor will I ever recommend it to anyone I know.
