Our beloved Safta embarked on a journey to the dazzling lights of Las Vegas, cruising in her sparkling white 1964 Thunderbird convertible. The wind tousled her wavy hair as she navigated the open road, a thrilling adventure beyond city limits. This wasn’t just a road trip; it was a moment for her and her recipes to shine. Known for her unique style, delicious cooking, and the magic she weaved hosting beautiful garden dinners, Safta has arrived to unveil her culinary artistry here at Wynn Las Vegas.

This is our new favorite restaurant. My son highly recommended this restaurant to us. He was absolutely right about everything. It seems they applied great attention to hospitality. We had the saganaki as an appetizer and it was the best saganaki I’ve ever eaten. We had a Greek salad and for the entrée we chose red snapper. The flavors were incredible. We plan on making this a restaurant stop every time we’re in Las Vegas.

Scarpetta - The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas

Italian

The Strip

About the restaurant

Scarpetta’s name is derived from the familial gesture “Fare la Scarpetta!” an Italian expression that describes the gesture of taking the little boot-shaped piece of bread to soak of the remaining sauce left in the pot of one’s home kitchen. We represent the indulgent pleasure of savoring a meal down to its very last taste! The ambiance can be described as lightly understated. With an elegant approach to design all while simultaneously creating a chic, inviting, and inspiring environment. We have one of the best viewpoints at the Cosmopolitan that overlooks the Las Vegas strip, facing towards the Bellagio fountains. The fountains paired with our sultry mood lighting and smooth Italian classic music in the background, we foster an undeniably, effortless and romantic dining experience.

Scarpetta is an upscale Italian restaurant with a stunning bar that leads to the main dining area, which opens up to breathtaking views overlooking the Bellagio fountains and beyond. Not all tables have a view, but many do, even if they're not right by the windows. I visited Scarpetta for a 'girl date' with a couple of my besties, and it offered the perfect atmosphere for us to yap away while enjoying sumptuous food and wine. I can definitely see this restaurant being an ideal spot for a romantic date night as well. Tip: Reserve ahead. We made reservations for a Friday night dinner through OpenTable, and it was a good thing we did because every table was full during our meal. The food and wine were a bit on the pricey side, so I'd consider this more of a special occasion spot for most. However, I believe the experience was worth the cost. The service was 5-star, and the portions were generous. For the three of us, the bill came out to around $390 after tax and tip. Here's what we ordered: Food: - Starter bread basket (five different breads) + toppings/dips: 5/5 - Grass-Fed Beef Tartare: 5/5 - Beet Salad - Branzino - Pork Chop: 5/5 - Gnocchi Drinks: - Red wine (prices ranged from $18 to $28 per glass, with an extensive wine list for bottle purchases).

Hamburger was the bomb!!! Burger was cooked just the way I like it. Was not crowded at all. (Don’t think many people have discovered this new restaurant in the Flamingo). Our server (Edwin?) was very attentive. Will definitely
