We’ve gathered the entire collection in one place to use as your resource when choosing which Cosmopolitan Hotel Las Vegas restaurants to enjoy. 

Fine Dining at the Cosmopolitan 

Scarpetta

Dine on modern Italian cuisine with a view of the iconic Bellagio fountains in the background at Scarpetta. Located in level 3 of the Boulevard Tower, Scarpetta has earned the reputation of being one of the Cosmopolitan’s most romantic restaurants. 

The name Scarpetta alone speaks of the restaurant’s love of Italian food and all the romance and passion that goes into creating it. Scarpetta comes from the Italian expression, “fare la scarpetta”. 

This expression describes the act of taking an end piece of bread and using it to soak up all the deliciousness that remains in the bowl. It’s about savoring every last bite and enjoying life to the fullest. 

Scarpetta’s menu features seasonal ingredients that are crafted into their elegant, signature meals. A few favorites include the simple but perfect Spaghetti with fresh tomato and basil, the Short Rib Brasato, and any one of their decadent Italian desserts.
