Scarpetta - Bishopsgate

The best fast place to go for a quick bites for lunch. They have limited menu but with variety of choices to choose from. The taste was excellent and you can choose either a single item from the menu or opt for the popular lunch box.

Absolutely fantastic. Service is on top, food got served quickly and was amazing. Great atmosphere.

I got the lunch tray with my colleague and the box looks small but its actually very filling. For 9.95 you get grains, topped with protein (grilled chicken or vegetarian option) and two sides. I got sweet potato and roasted aubergine. They change everyday. A healthy, nutrition packed lunch!

Have been to Scarpetta a number of times and it does not disappoint. Seating is limited so would recommend booking. Tried a new starter for a change (mussels) which were nice but a little dry. I had the prawn pasta for main which I cant fault- tasted very fresh and was a good sized portion. I will definitely be returning

Enjoyed the pasta, but the wine by the glass (Montepulcano) was absolutely awful, while it should not have been so bad according to Vivino - probably they store it wrongly while uncorked. I've ordered espresso and tiramisu, and the cake was forgotten, but at all least not charged.

I had a very special Valentines night at Scarpetta Bishopsgate. Super friendly and polite staff and authentic Italian food. Would recommend to everyone.

Not good experience unfortunately! Came here for dinner on a Thursday evening. We ordered two starters: bruschetta with Nduja and burrata (good) and arrosticini (very dry and overpriced).
As main we took zucchini and gamberi pasta + arrabbiata bucatini. Although picture looks good, again here pasta was without flavour and borderline uncooked (I would not define that pasta “al dente”).
Service was average, cook had to ring bell with our food 4 times before it being picked up. Bill was ok for city prices, but food quality not there…

Can’t find a bad thing to say - this is a fantastic place. They were able to fit us in on late notice and served us way past close - they even rearranged the tables to accommodate our pram 👶.

The starters, pasta and dessert were all great as well.

Fantastic service, great food, reasonable prices- what more can you ask for?

Do yourself a favor and stop in!
