| - I've passed by this restaurant for the last couple of months, but since we both make some pretty spectacular Italian food ourselves, this is one cuisine we rarely look for when dining out. But tonight it was late and I just wanted some pasta without boiling water and cleaning dishes.
The restaurant sits up a very steep hill, which gives it a really spectacular view of the Las Vegas strip. The room is pretty with a partially open kitchen and views from the bar that go on forever. Since it was past 9:30 pm we had a hard time getting seated. I think the hostess was outside getting a smoke. But once we were seated, the waiter was very prompt and very attentive. We had two glasses of wine which came in an instant along with very fresh bread. My husband started with the bean soup which was tasty, but pretty bland. That's OK, the main courses were SPECTACULAR. I stuck with the Rotini La Collina (ham, peas, mushrooms, onions in a tomato cream sauce). My husband hates peas, so I order them when I can. It was very, very tasty, but nothing to compare to my husband's Osso Bucco Ravioli. That was a flavor explosion in your mouth! I'm sure we will be back again when we have a late night craving for Italian food. They even have a real pizza oven!
