You go into Scarpetta expecting so much from this simple Italian classic: Spaghetti w/ Tomato & Basil and then it delivers. Really clean, fresh and simple, but it fools you into thinking/tasting so much more through its delicately balanced layers of flavor and texture. Superbly cooked pasta that evokes emotion (for me, joy) as you twist it on your fork and take small deliberate bites to lengthen the time you get to savor. Fantastic wine list, picked a light bodied fruit forward red from Tuscany to pair with this and the duck.
