Help! Birthday dinner this Sat - Dell'Anima or Scarpetta?

[Artichoke Heart]

My hubby wants some seriously amazing Italian (specifically, pastas), it's his 36th birthday and we're expecting our first child in 4 weeks, so I want it to be special.

Help me pick between the two - I've heard great things about both.

Thanks in advance!

I haven't been to Dell'Anima, but Scarpetta is very good to great and a really enjoyable experience. I'd recommend them without hesitation, if it's between those two.

Overall, you'll be more comfortable at Scarpetta, as it is much more airy and spacious than Dell'anima.
