Anytime I have guests from out of town, we go to the pasta shop. It's cute, intimate and it has a nice view of the strip (for the tourists) and the food is fantastic. I try to find the gems OFF the strip and this is, without a doubt, on the top of my list. First step in, I loved the decor. It felt cozy and comfortable... feels like home. And all of the employees make you feel as such- that you are at home and you are all a big family. When the chef came out to check on us, you could tell he loves what he does and this is such a passion for him. The friendliness and ambiance won me over.
The food is delicious. The most enjoyable dishes I have had have always been the specials of the evening. One night they serve a chilled artichoke with a balsamic reduction. It was prepared so nicely I could have eaten one of an appetizer and one for an entree. Five stars all around.
