A modern restaurant with contemporary design touches

Complete with bold flavours and a soulful design scheme, Scarpetta at the newly opened luxurious resort, Waldorf Astoria in Lusail, Doha, adds a layer of personality inside the hotel.

The new restaurant has been painstakingly designed by David Collins Studio, which put its heart into reinterpreting traditional Italianate architectural details with a mid-century twist.

The design features a contemporary interpretation of Italian architecture, through use of Palladiana flooring, coloured marbles, and travertine columns influenced by the brandโ€™s Italian cuisine. The venue boasts an effortlessly chic dinner setting that brings LDVโ€™s mission of La Dolce Vita to life with its indoor and al fresco dining venues, an extensive cigar lounge, private dining and a walk-in humidor.

The philosophy of Scarpettaโ€™s kitchen, born in New York City in 2008, is to create bold flavours by amplifying the essence of seasonal ingredients. Their signature dishes, primarily their delectable pastas are prepared in-house daily using only the best, locally sourced ingredients. Scarpettaโ€™s most popular Spaghetti Tomato & Basil is nothing short of classic simplicity in both taste and preparation. The Italian hotspot also offers a variety of mouthwatering starters and signature mocktails which are not to miss.

Scarpetta has grown to receive prominence for its delicious food and drinks, stylish deฬcor, and affluent clientele that attracts the interest of leading media outlets throughout the world.
