flour mill and the family of our artisan pasta maker have one mind when it comes to pasta. We are excited to bring to London the product of so much hard work.”
Scarpetta’s pasta maestro is Michele Fiore and has arrived fresh from Puglia! With three generations of knowledge, he will be making pasta from scratch from a specially designed workbench – where customers and diners can watch his skill and talent in action.
The menu is created by Chef Pierluigi Sandonnini who trained under three Michelin-starred Chef, Gualtiero Marchesi, the father of modern Italian cuisine in his native Italy. Pier is well versed in
contemporary Italian cooking, characterised by its simplicity and the use of the very freshest of ingredients.
He says: “I believe our customers’ palates have moved on compared to when I started cooking in London. We are all trying to be healthier, and hey, we have to work in the afternoons, no Pisolino (napping), so I aim to create a lighter version of traditional popular dishes whilst maximising the taste.”
Scarpetta aspires to become synonymous with healthy Italian eating, basing much of its wide and varied menu on the Mediterranean diet of fresh fruit and vegetables, high-quality grains and heart-healthy olive oil.
