SCARPETTA

Scarpetta is LDV Hospitality’s signature restaurant concept that first launched in New York’s Meatpacking District. The Italian expression, “fare la scarpetta,” describes the gesture of taking a boot-shaped piece of bread to soak up the remaining sauce left in the pot or bowl. The restaurant’s name is derived from this familial gesture and represents the indulgent pleasure of savoring a meal down to its very last taste.

In 2008, Scarpetta received a James Beard nomination for ‘Best New Restaurant in America’ as well as a coveted three-star review from The New York Times. The philosophy of Scarpetta’s kitchen is to create bold flavors by amplifying the essence of seasonal ingredients. The signature pastas are made in-house daily and are paired with the highest quality, locally sourced ingredients. Scarpetta’s famous Spaghetti Tomato & Basil is nothing short of classic simplicity in both taste and preparation. The understated, yet elegant approach to design creates an environment that is simultaneously chic, welcoming, and inspiring.

In 2009, following the success of the flagship location in New York, Scarpetta opened in Miami’s Fountainebleau Hotel and was awarded four stars from the Miami Herald. In 2009 the Scarpetta brand headed west and opened its fourth location in Las Vegas at The Cosmopolitan Hotel. In the summer of 2015, Scarpetta Beach returned east and opened its doors at Gurney’s Resort and Spa. The restaurant highlights the local, bountiful seafood in a seasonal menu, making it the New York summer dining destination. One year later in late Fall 2016, Scarpetta joined Philadelphia’s bustling dining scene in the historic Rittenhouse Square at the Rittenhouse Hotel. In summer 2017, Scarpetta opened its next coastal destination in Newport, RI situated on its own private marina at the second location of Gurney’s Resorts. Most recently, Scarpetta relaunched its New York City flagship in the dynamic NoMad neighborhood at the James Hotel.

The big review: Scarpetta **** The best Italian food in Miami? This NYC import puts its marinara where its mouth is.

Spaghetti from Scarpetta at the Fontainebleau.

By Victoria Pesce Elliott Mamma mia! She'd kill me if she knew I shelled out 23 bucks for a plate of spaghetti pomodoro, a quickie dish she used to make for dinner when there was nothing else in the house. "But, Mom, it's not just pasta," I can hear myself arguing. "The noodles are homemade, coarse-cut and bitey.

And the sauce! The sweet, acidic intensity of the tomato is mellowed by super creamy butter. It's transcendent." I might never have won that argument, but I still say I have never had a better Italian meal in this town than at the place that produced that pasta, Scarpetta at the Fontainebleau.

It begins on the phone, when a shockingly polite hostess manages to find a table for our anonymous party of four on a night that is packed, we later learn, with such A-listers as Michael Jordan. At once comfortable and sophisticated, the setting is an oddly incongruous sea of chocolatey dark woods, ropes, shiny port holes and curvy booths that might best be describe as nautical Goth. The dining room is encircled by a broad terrace that overlooks the dramatic pool.

SCARPETTA BEACH HEATS UP THE SUMMER MONTAUK SCENE

Owned by the same family for more than 60 years, Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa (290 Old Montauk Highway, Montauk; 631-668-2345) changed hands last year and has since undergone a massive transformation. LDV Hospitality, the group responsible for the Regent Cocktail Club in Miami and the Meatpacking District's Scarpetta and Barchetta, took over the food and beverage program.

LDV brings five new eating and drinking options to the historic hotel. For casual dining, there's the year-round casual American concept, Tillies, featuring a seasonally-driven menu. Italian-inspired Corso Coffee offers an array of grab-and-go snacks as well as artisanal coffees.

The Beach Club at Gurney's serves sandwiches, salads, and special Saturday barbecues on the 1,000 foot private beach. Modeled after its Miami predecessor, which was voted one of the best hotel bars

“Every property is cut from the same cloth [because of] my process of looking at classic hospitality culture and making each venture relevant in its own way,” says John Meadow, founder of LDV Hospitality, about his restaurant group, which owns and operates more than 20 diverse food and beverage venues across the country. Among his most successful ventures are acclaimed restaurants like Scarpetta, with locations in New York City, Miami, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles, as well as popular nightlife spots No. 8, in NYC’s Meatpacking District, and Rec Room, in Miami.

This summer, LDV Hospitality (which is a nod to the Italian phrase “la dolce vita,” or the good life) is taking over the entire food and beverage program at Gurney’s Montauk Resort and Seawater Spa; launching a coastal rendition of Scarpetta called Scarpetta Beach; an all-day American restaurant, Tillie’s; an Italian-style espresso bar dubbed

Corso Coffee; The Beach Club at Gurney’s; and The Regent Cocktail Club, an outpost of the popular Miami speakeasy.

Each destination has been adapted to reflect its Montauk locale.

Scarpetta Beach will deliver signature classics like fresh handmade pastas while expanding its seafood and fresh produce ingredients; diners can enjoy the restaurant’s indoor-outdoor space, which spills onto the property’s beachside terrace. Meanwhile, Corso Coffee will offer a variety of artisanal coffees from American beans roasted locally in Long Island City, as well as handcrafted, wood-roasted Tuscan espresso, and a graband-go menu of fresh pastries, sandwiches, gelato, and fresh juices.

Although Meadow has had his eyes set on the East End for the past 10 years, “We didn’t want to do just another restaurant by the beach, but [rather] something that would capitalize on LDV’s vision,” he says, referring to the blank canvas that such an expansive collaboration offers.

“Whether that be sunrise yoga on the deck or a spectacular DJ party on the beach, there’s no limit to what we can do and how the season can evolve.”
