Beacon Hill shopping days have a rhythm of their own: browsing boutiques, weaving through historic streets, and suddenly realizing you’re ready for a real break. When you’re looking for a Beacon Hill shopping lunch that feels like a destination, not just a quick bite, Scampo inside the Liberty Hotel invites you to turn that pause into a transformative escape.

Scampo means “escape” in Italian, and that spirit runs through everything we do. Our fine-dining room inside the Liberty Hotel’s storied walls becomes your midday refuge, where innovative Italian-Mediterranean flavors, chef-driven creativity, and confident yet welcoming hospitality reset your day in under an hour.

Between Beacon Hill Boutiques and Liberty Hotel Landmarks

Think of Scampo as the sophisticated midpoint between Beacon Hill’s charming boutiques and the dramatic architecture of the former Charles Street Jail, now the Liberty Hotel. You might start your morning wandering storefronts and side streets, then step through the Liberty’s doors for a lunch that feels worlds away from the bustle outside.

Because we’re a Liberty Hotel restaurant in Beacon Hill, you don’t have to wander far from your favorite shops to find a true culinary destination. Your table becomes a front-row seat for a different kind of sightseeing: a view into a kitchen that celebrates Italian cuisine unrestrained by borders, where every plate is designed to surprise you in the best way.

Whether you’re meeting a friend mid-errand, escaping a packed holiday itinerary, or refueling between Liberty Hotel events, Scampo offers a grounded, sophisticated setting that still feels like a bit of an adventure.

An Unrestrained, Innovative Italian Lunch Escape

At Scampo, lunch isn’t an afterthought. It’s an opportunity to experience our chef-driven, innovative Italian-Mediterranean point of view in a way that fits your day. James Beard Award-winning Chef Lydia Shire leads a kitchen that treats midday as a chance to take you on an unexpected journey, even if you only have 45–60 minutes.

Our cuisine is deliberately unrestrained by traditional borders. Italian foundations meet Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences in combinations designed to feel both refined and exciting. You might share the famous lobster pizza as a centerpiece, explore seasonal Italian-Mediterranean innovations, or ask your server which chef-driven dishes are currently creating the most buzz in the dining room.

The goal is always the same: to give you an escape that feels transformative, not predictable. From the first bite to the last, lunch at Scampo is about adventure and discovery in a setting that still welcomes you to relax, exhale, and simply enjoy.

Quick-Order Highlights for a 45–60 Minute Lunch Near the Liberty Hotel

A shopping break doesn’t always leave room for a long, lingering meal. The good news: you can experience Scampo’s destination dining energy even on a tight schedule. Here’s how to make the most of a 45–60 minute window without ever feeling rushed.

If You Have About 45 Minutes

• Start with intention. Let your server know you’re on a schedule. Our team will help you navigate the menu so your lunch feels generous yet focused.
• Anchor your escape with one signature dish. Make our signature lobster pizza or another Italian-Mediterranean innovation the star of your table, and build around it with a small bite or two if time allows.
• Keep it streamlined. Choose one course that feels truly special rather than trying to fit everything in. You’ll still experience the chef-driven, innovative Italian perspective that defines Scampo.

If You Have About 60 Minutes

• Make it a mini adventure. With an hour, you have time to explore a sequence of flavors. Start with something light from our Italian-Mediterranean side of the menu, then transition to a heartier plate or the famous lobster pizza to share.
• Ask about seasonal tasting elements. Scampo is known for seasonal tasting menus. If your timing and appetite align, your server can suggest a mini flight of dishes that gives you a taste of that transformative, tasting-menu energy at lunch.
• Plan your exit. When you sit, share the time you’d like to be back out exploring Beacon Hill. We’ll pace your courses so you can savor each bite and still step away on schedule.

The result is a lunch that respects your calendar while still feeling like a true Scampo escape—unexpected, unrestrained, and distinctly Beacon Hill.
