INSIDE London’s Bulgari Hotel lies Sette by Scarpetta, the restaurant that brings Manhattan’s Italian flare to the British capital. There is no question whether Sette lives up to original site Scarpetta in New York, they have triumphantly managed to bring the much-loved and praised tastes of seasonal, traditional cooking to London.
The focus is still on the ingredients, using only the finest regional suppliers to highlight Italy’s delicacies.
Scarpetta Spaghetti from the Cicchetti Menu
Launching a new Aperitivo menu, that is available between 5pm – 8pm featuring some of the finest Italian mouthfuls of food you can try. Porchetta with Squacquerone with panino and balsamic dressing, short rib crochette with salsa verde, selection of Caramelle with wild mushrooms and goats cheese, and burrata bruschetta with anchovies and grilled peppers.
In addition, you are able to order the famous Scarpetta Spaghetti from the Cicchetti menu – a dish that proves excellence doesn’t always require extravagance.
Negroni Mediterraneo
Alongside the small dishes is a newly curated cocktail menu to complement each bite. Created by senior bartender Giacomo Ellena, the selection of drinks comes both in alcoholic and non-alcoholic form using Italian spirits to keep the focus on the country that is being celebrated here.
For those seeking a taste of Italy in the evening, look no further than Sette by Scarpetta.
