Good food and services. The dinning room is very open which feel less privacy when dinning in the restaurant.

Pleasantly surprised with how good the food was however it did take a long time for us to get our appetizers and mains compared to other places we have dined at.

Restaurant was beautifully decorated. Food tasted excellent. Downside, parking lot was dirty. Hotel is outdated. Didn’t match the restaurant. Like day and night. Service was ok. I think they were new.

Ordered waffles benny. Eggs were poached hard, would have been better soft. Was supposed to come with Prosciutto but got deli ham instead. Breakfast potatoes and coffee were good. Nice atmosphere. Overall just okay. Price point is too high for quality.

What a great experience. I dined there with my family on New Years and the food was just amazing! The brussel sprouts and the risotto were my favourite! We ordered cannolis for desert and they were the best I’ve ever had. I’m very pleased.

You guys need more employees. And room needs more colour: red. And it's not cozy like a proper Italian restaurant, gets some Art, gets some colour, and maybe some drapery for the windows. Really great food though guys, just spice out the atmosphere; also maybe lay off the rap music, Italy has enough great music without that.

Delicious food delivered to our table pipping hot which is much appreciated on a cold winter’s night in Calgary. The Inglewood pizza was on par with any from the best pizza restaurants.
Gnocchi was creamy with lots of cheese and truffle oil with a pillowy dumpling.
Appreciate the good service from Darren!

When I think about dinner out, Scarpetta at the Riviera is always my first option and it never disappoints. From the starter to the dessert to the wine menu, the quality and tastes of everything was outstanding. Service was delightful and very professional. I will return again and again.

We really enjoyed our experience.
Our waitress was Natalie. Right away we liked her. She greeted us warmly and energetically. She had great recommendations on the menu and clearly believes in the restaurant, the chef, and the food. Her enthusiasm told us that we were in for a good meal.
Both of us are dairy intolerant and there was plenty for us. I had the Tropicana pizza. I was going to order it without cheese and instead went with the vegan cheese option. The crust was soft and the pizza was flavourful. It was great although I want to go back and try it cheeseless because it was THAT good. My hubby ordered a sausage pasta option without dairy and gobbled it up with a smile. Natalie and a manager (I think?) were attentive, assuring we were happy with our meals and helping with whatever they could.
We were very happy with the experience and are going to rebook another visit for another date night in the near future.

It was so great see Rocco had re-opened Scarpetta. The food and service as always is exceptional. We had the prawns and focaccia for appies then the gnocchi and the chicken cutlet special. The special was so good and was a huge portion for a great price. Can’t wait for the 10th ave location to open!

The food is always exceptional quality with great service, we’re so excited to see Scarpetta open up again!
And now there is a breakfast and brunch option we can’t wait to try, along with conference spaces they cater at the hotel.
