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

BY SARA VENTIERA MONDAY, JUNE 15, 2015

| 6 HOURS AGO

Tomato Spaghetti Melissa Hom Photography

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 1

“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.”
