Scarpetta Philadelphia, which is located at Rittenhouse Square, features several private dining options, including a lounge area for 75 guests standing; a semi-private dining area for 55 people seated; the main dining room for 85 attendees seated and 150 standing; Table 90 group dinner space for 18 seat- ed guests; and The Wine Room for 14 seated. The restaurant serves contempo- rary Italian fare based on seasonal offer- ings, including handmade pastas, raw and cooked fish and select meat dishes.

It’s that Italian focus on simplicity, the use of fresh ingredi- ents, and the pride we take in executing each dish that makes our food memo- rable.”


Planners hosting their attendees at Scarpetta will find the sommelier is available to assist in selecting the pair- ings that complement each dish.


Attendees will enjoy camaraderie and the chance to learn how to make a sig- nature pasta dish served at Scarpetta during a pasta-making class hosted by Loughlin on Saturdays.
