Scarpetta (NoMad)
About Scarpetta (NoMad)
Located at the base of The James New York – NoMad (formerly the Hotel Seville), Scarpetta is a flagship of sophisticated Italian dining in Manhattan’s vibrant NoMad district. The atmosphere balances mid-century modern aesthetics with a high-energy cosmopolitan feel, featuring warm wood accents and plush leather seating. Under the leadership of LDV Hospitality, the kitchen specializes in elevated Italian soul food, anchored by their iconic handmade spaghetti with tomato and basil and an extensive program of fresh crudi, such as yellowtail with ginger oil and pickled red onion.
For private events, Scarpetta offers a refined alternative to the typical Midtown banquet hall. The venue provides a seamless transition from corporate daytime meetings to elegant evening celebrations, supported by a dedicated events team. Whether guests are gathering for a multi-course seated dinner featuring braised short rib and diver scallops or a lively cocktail reception with passed Italian small bites, the space delivers a polished, quintessentially New York experience.
