MIAMI SPICE: SCARPETTA

Generally I have found with NYC restaurant week that it's not quite worth it. The portions are always a little too small and the food is a little under par of what normally would be served. NOT the case with Miami Spice, the equivalent to NYC restaurant week. We ventured to Scarpetta. which is located at the Fountainbleau on South Beach which is a site in itself. I have never been more impressed with a restaurant's aesthetics. Marble counter tops/table tops, candle lit, grey and cream color scale, and very classy. The food was phenomenal, one of the best meals I have enjoyed to date. We went with a group of eight and I must say the restaurant is great for a group and just as wonderful for a romantic night with a loved one. All around it was such a wonderful experience. I would pay normal price to go to this restaurant any day. There is a NYC location as well, which I plan to venture to in the very near future.
