" I was feeling nostalgic the other day and stopped by La Scarpetta for a slice of pizza. It reminded me of the good old days—rich sauce, quality cheese, and that perfect crust. However, I feel the service could be improved. We waited a bit longer than needed to get our orders taken and served. Still, the pizza brought back memories and I’m glad I visited. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointment best describes my last visit. The pizza lacked flavor, and it was barely warm. The service was average at best. I didn’t feel a sense of urgency from the staff, and this made the experience feel drawn out. Overall, I was let down and will be reconsidering my dining options. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place truly feels like an Italian family home! I ordered the shrimp fra diavolo and it was spicy but delightful. The piping hot dish was well-served with large shrimp and the flavor wowed me. The garlic knots are something else—definitely must-have! The service was attentive without being overbearing. Can't wait to come back for more deliciousness! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing countless praises about La Scarpetta, I finally visited and ordered their eggplant rollatini and it was beyond incredible! The flavors meld beautifully and it was baked to perfection. The atmosphere is delightful, and I found the staff to be both friendly and attentive. I even learned the restaurant uses high-quality olive oil, giving their dishes an edge over others. I can’t wait to go back and explore more from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Scarpetta is a hidden gem in the city! The old-school feel combined with the modern touches in decor creates a warm and homely atmosphere. I tried the shrimp scampi and was blown away by the flavors. Each dish tastes as though it is crafted with love and care, reflecting true Italian traditions. The staff were genuine and prompt with their service. If you're looking for authentic Italian food in a cozy setting, I wholeheartedly recommend visiting La Scarpetta! You won't regret it. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a family dinner at La Scarpetta last night, and although we had a good time, the food was sadly lackluster. The lasagna was edible but just didn't have the depth of flavor I was expecting from a place that prides itself on authentic recipes. The service was friendly, but things felt a bit chaotic that evening with longer-than-expected wait times. I wish it had been better since we had high hopes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I dine here, I am reminded of the reasons I keep coming back. They have perfected the art of Italian cooking. The menu is diverse with many options, and I appreciate their seasonal dishes. The only drawback was the wait time during peak hours, but the food is worth every minute. I wholeheartedly recommend La Scarpetta to anyone in search of an authentic Italian experience! " (*Curated Review*)
