The paprika bread with olive oil is very good. For starters, we order the Baccalà fritto con salsa forte, and the homemade prosciutto with flor de late, both very good. For main course I followed the maître suggestion: Troccoli con pesto di pistacchi e gamberi (Spaghetti with pesto of pistachio and prawns), that was amazing. My husband ordered the Filetto di spigola and my friend the pulpit, all very good. The Scarpetta rose wine, made for the house, was a perfect complement.

They were very respectful of dietary issues as well. The service was equally top-notch--attentive, but never intrusive. What stood out the most was the personal touch: the chef came out to greet each table, which made the night feel even more special. The ambiance is minimalist, but it complements the focus on the food perfectly. If you're looking for a culinary experience that will blow you away, I highly recommend dining here.
