    Spaghetti
    Binoy V.

    Lovely Italian spot inside the Cosmopolitan that works just as well for a team dinner as it does for a romantic night out. The vibe strikes that perfect balance between upscale and comfortable. We ordered the calamari, arancini, spaghetti Scarpetta, and bomboloni--and honestly, you can't go wrong with this lineup. Everything was delicious, comforting, and exactly what you want after a long, exhausting day at a conference. The spaghetti Scarpetta in particular is a must-order if you love a great, simple pasta done right. Definitely worth leaning into the carb coma here.

    High end modern Italian located at the Cosmopolitan, with pretty nice views of the city. Started with the short rib arancini, really good, almost looked like a large meatball. The calamari fritti was crispy and served with a spicy marinara and aioli dipping sauces. Veal Milanese was tender, and served with a topping of arugula and parmesan slivers, simple but expertly prepared. The gnocchi was served with a mushroom brown butter sauce, very tender and melt in your mouth. The scallops were also tasty, well cooked. The big flavor bomb was the polenta with mushroom fricassee, the polenta by itself was great but the addition of the mushroom sauce elevated it. Worth a visit just to try this dish. Overall great experience, friendly waitstaff and will visit again in the future, most likely for a special occasion. 5 stars

    Truly truly enjoyed this place. Their pastas were amazing. Ordered the black ink pasta. My husband ordered their veal and side of spaghetti. Started with yummy roasted beet salad. They start you off with delicious basket of assorted bread. We ordered two desserts. Everything was just so yummy! Service was exceptional and I love the ambiance of this place. Music was low and not loud at all and just perfect Italian dinner.

    Small Italian restaurant at The Cosmopolitan. The view was good if you get a chance to see the Bellagio fountain show from your seat, and service was fast. It's a smaller restaurant than others. Limited vegetarian options: spaghetti, gnocchi, and the tableside pasta for two. Prices are steep for pasta. The truffles were blended into the sauce, and if I'm paying a premium for pasta, I want to see the truffles shaved on it. The flavor profile was good but not a restaurant I would be returning to. Apparently the spaghetti is a go-to for people, but it's something I make homemade, so I didn't order it. The braised lamb shank was also ordered and not really enjoyed. The bread basket was a highlight, and the rosemary focaccia was great.

    What a beautiful restaurant tucked in rather discreetly. With beautiful views of Bellagio fountains and The Strip. We were seated in a very private booth that allowed for easy conversation without the background noise of the restaurant. Starting off we ordered a cocktail. Berry Smash and Italian dirty martini. Both were amazing. But hands down the crowd pleaser was the berry smash. Started off with a beet salad. Each roasted to earthy perfection and bread service delivered about same time. Some of the best bread service ever. Focaccia was delicate pillows with light Italian seasonings. We ordered the shrimp scampi, the scampi was with house made fresh pasta the 16oz ribeye with crispy fingerling potatoes. The steak was charred perfectly and the crispy fingerlings are worth ordering the steak for. The potatoes perfectly crisp and just the right amount of seasoning. Will definitely add this restaurant into our rotation.

    If you're having fun at the Cosmopolitan, Scarpetta is the perfect place for delicious italian food. It was our first time here, and the vibes were definitely upscale and very romantic. Hospitality was spot on, attentive and all the dishes we ordered were delicious. Crispy Fritto Misto, Beef Carpaccio, paired well with Cavatelli, and Squid Ink Tagliatelle with Lobster.

    I stopped in here for a quick dinner. Since I was dinning alone tonight the options were bar seating only. I came early so there was plenty of space and the bar filled quickly. The menu has many options and everything sounded delicious. I very much enjoyed the Cesar salad the charred lemon added a burst of citrus to the salad and it was lovely. The Sea Bass was cooked perfectly, but that sauce they topped it with was outstanding. It was light and I can't exactly describe the flavors, but an enhancement it was. The only dish I didn't love was the gnocchi. The pasta itself lacked texture it was a little too soft for me, but flavor profile was excellent. As most places in Vegas I recommend a reservation. The bar was extremely busy and the bartender had many rotating guests grabbing drinks so service lacked but understandably so. This was a great place with a great menu, highly recommend making a stop here.

    Agnolotti
    Sharona M.

    Scarpetta has 1 of my fave pasta dishes. We came here for our 1st time and for a 7 pm reservation on the weekend, we had a good seat. The ones right in front of the window were reserved, but we had a seat on the row right behind them. We got to watch the Bellagio water show and it was a very peaceful and nice experience. We ordered the Salmon Carpaccio and it was good, but we didn't realize how many olives and capers it had (yikes). As olive haters, this kinda threw us off, but it's our fault for not reading the menu closer. The fish itself was good though after we removed all those olives. The bread basket they give you at first also has great bread. We both ordered the Agnolotti as our main course. It was extremely rich, flavorful, and truly divine. The cheese, the bone marrow, the little dumplings. That's basically what they were. I thought I wouldn't get full eating it, but I couldn't finish. It was extremely rich, in a good way. I loved it. Service was alright, not bad.

    This is one of the best hidden gems we came across at cosmo. First, the service was amazing and top tier. The servers are well seasoned and so conversational. My boyfriend treated me to dinner for my birthday weekend here and I was so surprised with how the night went. Our server even split one of our pasta dishes into two plates to share! I thought that was thoughtful of them since they pointed out that we might be swapping and sharing our food. The view made the experience amazing. I will note that I thought we would receive a complimentary dessert for my birthday celebration that day. I noticed that other reviews stated that they received this and a birthday candle. However, I would definitely come back here to share how great this restaurant is. Thank you!

    This was - hands down - the best Italian restaurant I've experienced. From the smiling hostess, informative and attentive wait staff, and the spectacular food! I was seated at a window in the corner which had a partially obstructed view of the Bellagio fountains. Scarpetta has the most unique complimentary bread and accoutrements. A variety of warm and savory bread - You read that correctly, complimentary - First Class! I ordered : Beef Carpaccio - 5*. The perfect bite of paper thin beef, arugula, caper and crouton. Cleaned the plate. Calamari Fritt - 5*. Hot, crispy - not chewy - with two dipping sauces. A very large portion, definitely meant to share, I couldn't clean that plate! Cavatelli with lamb ragu - 5*. Best pasta I've ever put in my mouth! Thanks to my waiter who chose this dish. The pasta had the right amount chew with a savory ragu with a depth of flavor that is unmatched. I was so full already I sadly could not do that bowl of heaven justice! I loved the experience so much, I have another reservation for my mother/ daughter trip in April. I can't wait for my daughter to experience the perfection here.

    Favorite Italian Restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip! Delicious food with quality ingredients you can taste in every bite! Service was 10 stars, top tier! The wine and sparkling water did not touch the bottom of the glass that's how good you know the service is on point! The ambiance had a very romantic vibe with a modern twist. The prices are a bit on the upscale side but definitely w Highly recommend to anyone who loves Italian food to check them out!

    Strawberry tartlet
    Jenna D.

    We had a party of 8 and service was attentive and flexible. Good place for a professional dinner. Fav dishes: Starters: short rib arancini was melt in your mouth good. Beet salad was pretty and tasty, but no twist. Pasta: taglioni Nero was a squid ink pasta with generous lumps of lobster meat. Divine! Others loved the short rib pasta with bone marrow. Drinks: French 75 was well balanced and not too sweet Dessert: the strawberry tartlet with gelato was a surprise hit! It is gorgeously presented with many textures and a subtle flavor. Highly recommend!

    GO FOR THE BREAD THAT IS FREE!! Our bread basket was absolutely amazing and they offered butter, oil and a tomatoes spread with it. We also got the dozen oysters but the size was kinda disappointing. The actual pasta is good too. I felt like it was very filling and delicious but honestly I keep thinking about the bread. This place is known for its view of Bellagio fountain but I was seated not facing it LOL

I've had the eggplant parm and spaghetti, and they are both flavorful and robust. Not to mention, the portions are very generous! You can easily share a plate with 1-2 other people. Service: excellent! The servers have worked here for years, so you know they have pacing down to a science. Drink orders were taken right away. Then warm bread is served. Apps are dropped with time to digest a little before the meal. Servers check in without being overbearing. The entertainment also makes for an unforgettable experience. They sing the classics and encourage the cowed to join. It feels like your home, or at least visiting Nona's Sunday dinner. What I love about supporting this place is that they explain why tiki culture is popular with Italians. I had no clue. When I saw a tiki bar attached to the restaurant, I just thought it was a gimmick, but after reading about it, I thought it was the coolest thing. I love how they preserve this unique collaboration and influence of Polynesian culture. Also, my hubby is a big fan of the Jersey Shore. We had to check it out since they filmed there several times. One of my favorite places in Las Vegas. It's definitely a fun and cozy vibe.

We were so lucky that we did get a reservation because the food and experience was great! When we arrived, we were informed that we had booked our reservation for the wrong date, but they helped us get a table which we really appreciated. Once seated, our server greeted us and he was super friendly and high energy. What we really appreciated was when he went through the menu providing us with recommendations, he also shared his perspective on some dishes that didn't really stand out for him. This really helped us narrow down our order. We ordered the sourdough bread, a margherita pizza, the beef cheek, mussels, butter lettuce salad, and the Zucca. All the dishes were perfectly seasoned and balanced. The sour dough bread was crusty yet fluffy. We ordered the basil ricotta, anchovy butter, and the fegatini. The fegatini was rich and mild. The anchovy butter was briny and savory, but not overwhelming. The basil ricotta was good, but the flavors were a bit too mild for me. The margherita pizza was what I was hoping for in a pizza. The crust was crusty and tender. There was also the right amount of sauce and toppings. The Zucca and it was a very robust dish. The past was perfectly al dente and the dish was quickly consumed. The mussels were very tasty and a bit spicy. After squeezing some lemon juice on each mussel, all the mussels quickly disappeared from the dish. Lastly, the beef cheek. The beef cheek was perfectly braised where the beef shredded easily and was tender, but didn't fall apart. Given that the cheeks were glazed, we were concerned that it would be overly sweet. To our surprise, the glaze, though sweet, was done very well. Pairing the beef with the polenta resulted in the perfect bite. Overall, it was one of the best meals we have had in a while. Esther's will definitely be on our list the next time we are in town.
