Breeze way to restaurant

Entrance

Terrace seating area

Scarpetta
Inside the Fontainebleau Hotel
4441 Collins Ave
Miami Beach, FL 33140

What I tried:

Creamy Polenta + Fricassee of Truffled Mushrooms

Mozzarella in Carrozza

Not on the Spice menu: Duck + Foie Gras Ravioli

Coconut Panna Cotta + Guava Soup

Spaghetti

Oven Roasted Chicken

Tiramisu

HIT: It’s hard to choose a favorite dish over the famous and classic Scarpetta Spaghetti. Because I wanted the best of both worlds, I had someone else order it and I also tried the Oven Roasted Chicken (simple yet elegant, and flavorful). Key words: sharing is caring!

Another positive, and this is a big one for the FOMO Miamians, portions have been kept the same for the Miami Spice menu. It’s a big deal considering the Spaghetti alone is $24 off the regular menu.

MISS: Given its Fontainebleau Hotel location, know that dining at Scarpetta means dealing with the valet-parking headache. The cost for parking is $15 if validated, $25 if not. It took 25 minutes for my car to come out.

TIP: Make an early dinner reservation to fully take advantage of the beautiful hotel grounds, Miami Beach Boardwalk, and ocean views.

CORKAGE: $30
