| - Have to wait a little for your table? No Problem, they have a cute little photobooth!!!
This place screams out Giada! From the moment you walk up the second floor to when we walked and were explained about each different prep stations I was quite impressed.The design is very cute and clean and I think it represents Giada to the tee. We came on their 6th day of opening the service was EXCELLENT. Our server Radoslav was really attentive and good at explaining the menu though it was quite lengthly. He explained that the portions are designed to be small so that you can try many things on the menu. My boyfriend and I had to beg to differ. We ordered 2 plates too many but they were all tasty. I did not know what to really expect but I was PLEASANTLY surprised. Here is what we ordered:
Drinks:
La Strada: Campari, homemade lemon sorbeto, berognoli limoncello, prosecco
very good, pretty and on the fruity side
Riso Amaro: cucumber, celery bitters, 2nite vodka, fresh grapefruit and lemon
pretty, fruity but on the too much of the bitter side for me
Appetizers:
Bacon Dates: very tasty, just the right amount of crisp on the bacon
Octopus: lacking a little salt, the only dish i wouldn't order again
Arugula Salad: simple but yet very refreshing
Entre:
Tortellini: if you don't like peas you probably wont like this dish but i thought it was very good
Spaghetti: PERFECTION. BY FAR MY FAVORITE DISH. spaghetti and all pasta dishes are made in house. this dish was so refreshing and was just perfect with the large shirmps. I WANT MORE!!!
Filet: cut of meat was very good and cooked to perfection
Side Corn: with a kick of spicyness and charr.
We had no room for desert but did have the Espresso Nocciol and Lemoncello Berta for a drink after our meal.
The Espresso Nocciol was velvet in my mouth. SOOO good. it has nutella in it. Need i say more??
The Lemoncello was a nice palate cleanser
Overall I would HIGHLY recommend that you try Giada. If you call and try to make reservations you might not be able to get the reservation but if you walk in and have a small party i'm sure they can accommodate you. Rumor is that they are "fully committed" until October.
I almost forgot the VIEW!!!!! Giada in located in the new Cromwell Hotel. She totally lucked out the the view. because its just beautiful up there with the view of the strip.
Good lLuck and Good Eats.
