Via XX Settembre, 12, 23829 Varenna LC, Italy
· Restaurant
· Varenna
Tiny, high-demand pasta spot with a short, well-executed menu and standout lasagna; expect queues, small portions, and prices on the higher side for Varenna.
The verdict
La Scarpetta delivers exceptional food quality anchored by its celebrated lasagna and consistently praised pastas, supported by attentive, efficient service in a charming lakeside alley setting. However, tight seating and modest portions prevent grade A territory, and recent value concerns suggest occasional inconsistency. The restaurant excels as a destination for pasta lovers willing to navigate queues and modest portions for genuinely skilled cooking.
One caveat: No reservations; peak waits of 30-60 minutes are common
