Scarpetta hosted a black-tie gala at their flagship restaurant last night, located at 88 Madison Avenue in New York City. A cocktail hour and seated dinner featuring the new Rome location’s menu offerings included a decadent cheese and charcuterie board, oysters Espinoza, crudi, cacio e pepe ravioli, halibut, and their famous espresso budino. Guests enjoyed live music, a surprise performance, and a silent auction to benefit the Food Education Fund, featuring donations from Acqua di Parma, Zegna, David Yurman, and Rationale.

Notable guests included Igee Okafur, Beverly Nguyen, Kelly Killoren Bensimon, Dawn Davis, Ryan Clark, and many others.
