Scampo, the stunning first floor restaurant in Boston's Liberty Hotel, is a culinary destination created by legendary Boston chef Lydia Shire in collaboration with The Lyons Group. At Scampo, Shire's reputation for defying tradition translates into an Italian-inspired menu that's unrestrained by borders, drawing on flavors from the Mediterranean and Middle East.
Designed in collaboration with renowned designers Rafael Alvarez and Brannen Brock, the restaurant is a reflection of Shire herself: bold, red and full of energy. The contemporary space features shiny copper lamps, a glowing orange bar and stools overlooking a mozzarella bar. The dramatic backdrop sets the stage for house-made breads baked in a tandoori oven, pastas that surpass red sauce norms and entrées that turn simple ingredients into extraordinary experiences.
An approachable wine list complements the food with ready-to-drink varietals from mostly small Italian and American producers. During the warmer months, guests can enjoy their meals on the secluded 60-seat outdoor patio and, for special occasions, the 50-seat private dining room features an exciting view of the open kitchen.

If there is anyone to demonstrate that small steps lead to great success, it's Executive Chef Simone Restrepo. Restrepo has been working with culinary icon Lydia Shire since he first came to Boston as a 16 year old Columbian immigrant in 1985.
After meeting Shire when he took a job as a dishwasher at her restaurant, BIBA ("Back in Boston Again") in 1989, Restrepo committed to a culinary career. Hard work and perseverance paid off as he made his way from kitchen station to kitchen station mastering the preparation and service for bread, salads and grill. For over two decades, Restrepo has been by Shire's side as she opened one hit after the other: BIBA, Pignoli, Locke-Ober, Scampo and, most recently, Towne Stove and Spirits.
In 2008, Restrepo helped Shire opened the award-winning Scampo, the dynamic first floor restaurant in Boston's Liberty Hotel. He currently heads up the bustling kitchen and was a key contributor in making Scampo one of Boston's "Best New Restaurants" in America named by Esquire magazine (2008).
Restrepo enjoys traveling with Shire to events across the country including The James Beard Foundation Awards in New York City and Meals on Wheels in Los Angeles. His dedication and creative talent in the kitchen keep Scampo as busy as the first day it opened.
