| - With 2 kids under 2, it is a rare event that my husband and I get to go on a date anymore, so when the grandparents offered to babysit so we could go on an early Valentines outing, I knew I wanted to pick somewhere special, without having to drive to the strip.
I could not believe how many reviews this place had after only being opened a short while, and all very good reviews! Well let me tell you it was either the fact that a break form stay at home motherhood would have made a McDonalds date night a 5 star experience, or this place truly is amazing, and deserves all of these rave reviews! :-)
It was quite busy for arriving at 4:30 and by the time we left at 6 there was already people waiting outside for a table.
We started with the truffle garlic bread. I thought, how can garlic bread be any different than from any other italian place?, but oh it oh it can be! This was wonderful! For my main meal I had the short rib pasta which was pretty much perfection, and my husband had the pig pizza and the chicken parm. which he said he really liked. I tried the pasta that came with the chicken and it was great!
For dessert we had the hazelnut tart. It was good, but the toffee pieces that came with it were heavenly... I would have preferred a bowl full of that! :-)
The only tiny negative was I had ordered a decaf coffee that I wanted with my dessert. Our dessert came and halfway through they asked if I still wanted it since they were making it fresh, and at that point I did not want it anymore. Really no big deal at all.
The service was great, prices pretty decent, and you can tell the waiters really enjoy the food and sharing it with us.
This will be our new date not spot (If we ever get to go on one again :-))
Definitely glad we tried it!
