Boston Chefs

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.
