We had an excellent evening at Scarpetta's, both service, food, and ambiance. The Italian gem of a…read more restaurant is located in historic downtown Fremont. The main dining area is filled with colorful large scale artwork, ambient lighting, and there are beautiful thick marble-topped tables, and some booths are in an elegant cozy crescent shape. Our party of 5 included a gentleman in a wheelchair, and the hostess was very kind to configure the seating to best fit his wheelchair, and allow everyone to have ample room at the table. The hostess, Elisa and our waitress Alora were the perfect service personnel, very kind, warm and professional. The food was an Italian delight, and cooked to perfection. Upon being seated we were promptly brought waters with lemon and rustic bread with herbed olive oil. The French onion soup was a knockout in flavor, onions and overall quality. The mozerella cheese was flame-seared just prior to serving.. Among the best FO soup II have had. The dinner salad was a generous serving; crispy and fresh with tomatoes, onions, and olives. Three guests ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, and they all agreed the sauce was outstanding and the portions came in plentiful deep- dish rimmed bowls. Two guests ordered chicken scallopini and it was very good and hot with linguine and red onions and a nice sauce. While between the five of us, we ordered repeats of the same meals, the entree and appetizer menu had an impressive variety of Italian dishes from which to make our choices. Scarpetta's is well worth the drive from nearly anywhere in Northwest Ohio, and rivals the best there, and even in Chicago! Get there before 6 and enjoy a vary nice happy hour for drinks and appetizers. This was our third time here, and each visit exceeded our expectations and memory. We will return! You will not be sorry after enjoying an authentic Italian meal at at beautiful Scarpetta's restaurant. Our after-meal coffees were superb as well.

In this casual ambiance setting by the fireside Rick had the delicious roast beef sandwich, I had a calzone and my friend had a personal pizza. All were exceptional.

A true traditional homestyle spaghetti and incredible sauce perfectly seasoned and consistent blend of herbs making this sauce the talk of the meal. Meatballs, wow ! They are huge and again perfect to taste, the seasoned taste will wake your taste bud's simply because you have never had the true Italian meatballs. The mall is offered with a slice of buttered garlic bread that says hi I'm straight from the bakers oven and melted in your mouth. A side salad is wonderful with this meal and if you like Italian make sure and have the house Italian dressing it absolutely will not disappoint you. I will always return when in or close to Findlay, OH. Special thanks to momma, Micah your amazing!!!

The white chicken Parmesan entree was very good though, well worth the trip!

They weren't wrong- the focaccia bread is soft and served fresh with some olive oil and Parmesan cheese as a dip, although I still prefer olive oil and balsamic as a dip.

DO NOT ORDER THE ALFREDO…read more Pros: The complimentary focaccia bread Lots of Gluten Free options Staff was very nice and charming Nice looking vibes Short rib ravioli Cons: Alfredo anything I was extremely disappointed in my regular Alfredo dinner. I can't remember the last time I didn't eat more than a few bites at a restaurant. The waiter suggested I add chicken and it somehow made it worse. It was watery and not tasty at all. I thought it was just me, but another person in our party ordered the shrimp Alfredo and also didn't finish it. I ended up buying the chicken Milanese salad on my own tab (I was with a party) to go and it was much better. But I shouldn't have to order a different dish to make up for one I didn't eat. Maybe it was just a bad night for the Alfredo pasta dishes but something basic like that should not be poor quality. This was really disappointing because we live 2 hours away and my family would talk up this restaurant for years.

I asked for a chair from the back and was told they were all broken. I was told they cant move a chair because they were open until 9pm and this was at 745pm.

Customers should always be accommodated but, apparently a chair was told much to ask for.
