Scarpetta - a three-star New York Times-rated, modern Italian restaurant based in the Lower Manhattan Meatpacking District - will set up later this summer within the Rittenhouse Hotel's vacant, bilevel Smith & Wollensky space.
The deal had been rumored since last summerand was confimed Monday. Scarpetta is owned by LDV Hospitality, which operated three restaurants at the Revel Casino in Atlantic City (American Cut with Iron Chef Marc Forgione, Azure with chef Alain Allegretti, and Lugo Italian) before the casino went bust and shut them out.
