Fontainebleau Miami Beach has been impressing guests with its award-winning restaurants for years and one restaurant, Scarpetta, welcomes a lineup of dishes sure to excite plenty of diners.

Named for the Italian expression that means “little shoe” (or the shape bread takes when used to soak up those last few bites in your most delicious dish), Scarpetta embodies the essence of savoring a meal to the very last bite.

The restaurant, the brainchild of celebrity chef Scott Conant, offers a classic regional Italian menu combining the home-cooked dishes his grandmother used to make with the refined flavors of fine cuisine — with a backdrop of breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean and Fontainebleau’s poolscape.

Not-to-be-missed classics are Chef Conant’s simple signature spaghetti with tomato and basil served perfectly al dente, and starters like the creamy polenta with fricassee of truffled mushrooms. The kitchen, wine, and serving teams work in unison to make each meal one of a kind. And just like the spirit of Italy itself, an inspiration may hit at any time, so you may be among the first to try a new, inspired menu selection.

Scarpetta is open for dinner Sunday through Thursday, 6 p.m. until 11 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays until midnight. For more information visit fontainebleau.com.
