Scarpetta, from John Meadow’s LDV Hospitality, is launching its new restaurant at 88 Madison Ave. at The James New York – NoMad on Wednesday.
The large space — designed in warm woods and other signature earthy materials by architect Thomas Juul-Hansen — comes with a 1,306-square-foot dining room, a 370-square-foot private room and a 1,111-square-foot bar/cafe with 50 seats.
Executive chef Jorge Espinoza, who launched Scarpetta on 14th Street, created a menu with classic dishes like spaghetti tomato and basil, yellowtail crudo, creamy polenta, short rib agnolotti and roasted branzino.
The new eatery will also feature a larger bar and cafe, with an extended ‘crudo’ menu and more small plate offerings for sharing.
The ‘verdure’ menu section will feature six seasonal, rotating vegetable dishes like cauliflower romanesco and farro risotto.
