| - Actually went to Palace Station to go to the Oyster Bar, which came highly recommended by my cousin who lives in Vegas. When we got there however, they told me it was only 21 and over, and I had my two kids.
Without a backup plan, we decided to eat at Little Tony's which was in the same casino. It was a total gamble without doing any research, not to mention it was relatively empty.
We ended up ordering garlic bread, Caesar salad and a pizza. The garlic bread was perfect, fresh garlic, a little cheese and parsley. Perfectly crisp on the outside, and soft and chewy inside -- I could have just eaten that.
Caesar salad is a salad we sort of use to gauge authenticity at Italian restaurants these days. This salad was perfectly dressed, good amount of anchovy flavor without being fishy. Fresh slices of Parmesan. It was better when I added a squirt of lemon, but really a great Caesar.
Pizza had a great thin crust, just a little burnt like we like it. A little crisp, not soggy. Great toppings, sauce has hint of sweetness, but good.
Decor wise it was classy, Italian sports bar theme, with some nice HD TV's showing sports, which we are always a fan of.
This place blew me away to be honest, we got really lucky. It was a miracle we were even at that casino, and to find such a great Italian spot...wow. My only regret is I didn't get to try the spaghetti or lasagna, another gauge of a true Italian restaurant, but especially since I hear they make their own pasta.
Anyway...great spot here off the strip. Even better than Grimaldi's. Highly recommended for good Italian food!
