Scampo is the newest restaurant to open at the stunningly gorgeous Liberty Hotel in Beacon Hill. The brain child of chef extraordinaire Lydia Shire, it's a casual-luxe italian joint decked out in a bevy of delicious design features. The kitchen is wide open to the dining area, providing a great view of your meal being prepared (and no chance of anyone spitting in it!). The bar is lit by fabulous silver orb fixtures above a bright red counter top. The juxtaposition of original jail features against luxurious new furnishings continues from the rest of the hotel- most successfully in the photo below with the crystal chandelier. We are going on Friday for dinner, and I can't help but feel the the food will simply be a side note to the decor!
