Scarpetta
I ate at Scarpetta on Brunswick St recently and I have been meaning to write about it, but got distracted until now. It was a relatively quiet mid-week evening, it was cold, we wanted to eat somewhere nearby, somewhere good, and somewhere we hadn’t been to before. When you walk past Scarpetta it looks so cosy and inviting inside. Reading the menu while standing on the footpath is easy; walking away after reading it is impossible.
So we went in and had a wonderful evening. We both started with the potato and leek soup, which was delicious; then I had the duck and mushroom pizza and my girlfriend had the marinara risotto. We shared a bottle of Neagles Rock Sangiovese which is like a massage in a bottle. If you want to give yourself a present, have dinner at Scarpetta. The service is excellent and attentive and the food is simply splendid.

i agree! it’s a great joint, but for a while i think it was closed due to lack of business. glad to hear that it’s back.
