Scarpetta Chef Resetting the Table at Cooper Square Hotel Restaurant

Foodies tell me that Scarpetta on West 14th is one of the hottest restaurants in the city. And my personal experience tells me that the recently closed Table 8 at Cooper Square Hotel was one of the most unsatisfying restaurant outings I have had in a long while. So what would happen if you take the chef and part owner of that hot spot, and ask him to try and turn around that much heralded dining disappointment? Stop by Faustina at the Cooper Square Hotel starting tomorrow to find out.

Scarpetta chef and part owner Scott Conant unveils Faustina to the public tomorrow in the former Table 8 space. Not much is known about the new venture, mostly because the turnaround time between the closing of Table 8 and the redesign and opening of Faustina has only been around four weeks. A little light was shed in a New York Times story last week, but I will let my taste buds decide before the end of the month. And I will let you know all about it.
