| - We came here recently during Thanksgiving weekend on my birthday and had fabulous time. Place definitely lived up to the hype and beyond my expectation.
It's located on 2nd floor of Cromwell Hotel/Casino. From the lobby, take escalators on the right which will take you directly to the restaurant. We had reservation for party of 4 and didn't have to wait very long. There's a cozy seating lounge next to guest check-in. Make sure to check out the photo booth on the left. We were seated right by the windows overlooking the Las Vegas strip. The view of Bellagio fountains at night is breathtaking. Perfect place to take a date for intimate night of dining or any special occasion. Restaurant is elegant and beautiful just like you would expect from the famous owner.
Menu looked very intimidating and we were clueless on what to order. Thank goodness for yelp photos on guidance. Food is somewhat pricey, but worth it. Expect to shell out $75-$100 per person. Glass of wine range from $13-$18 and cheapest bottle of wine was $75. Since it was my birthday, it was skies the limit...of course I offered to pay a portion of the bill from my recent winnings at the casino tables.
We started off with mushroom arancini (fried meat ball served with pesto aioli sauce) and spinach & buffalo ricotta pizzette for appetizers. We weren't a big fan of mushroom aracini, but we did enjoy the pizzette which was yummy. Complimentary bread was provided too. It was divine!
For the food, we ordered the following:
Tuscan Tomahawk Rib Eye Steak - My personal favorite and all for me. It was humongous and attracted a lot of oohs and aahs from my table. Perfectly cooked medium, very well seasoned and was outstanding. Worth $83 price tag. It doesn't come with any sides so I ordered it with roasted broccolini which paired nicely with the steak.
Lobster ravioli - lusciously good and ravioli melts in your mouth. The lobster sauce rocks this dish.
Seared salmon vegetable succotash & whole grain mustard - light crisp on top, tender and delicious.
Fettuccine di Amalfi with lemon pork ragu - scrumptious and ragu was on point.
We were full and passed on dessert. However, I did get some complimentary cookies for my birthday which were delicious. Sorry no pics...lets just say it was devoured instantly before I can get camera out.
All in all, it was a night to remember. I got the opportunity to sample everyone's dishes and all were terrific. Service was good too. The staff was very attentive, helpful and we didn't feel hurried. With exception to the steak, portions were smaller but perfect unless you wanted to take home. Great choice and definitely recommend to anyone who enjoy good Italian food.
