| - We asked the concierge of our hotel where a really good local Italian (read: not super-touristy) place was, and she told us to go here, so gold star to lady at the Rumor Hotel with really bad highlights. Anyway, it definitely is a local place: think strip mall instead of The Strip. Parking was easy, and it's tucked away at the back.
We ended up being the only people there (it was 4pm) and received excellent service. I had the tilapia, and it was honestly the best tilapia I've ever had. It was super fresh and the veggies on the side were great. It came with an amazing salad with marinated tomatoes that didn't even need the dressing. AND I got a small side dish of pasta. I'll be sweating garlic for the next few days, but I'm ok with that.
I'm pretty sure this place is a front for the mob, but that just made it mobthentically good. The owner or head chef dude or whatever talked like Joe Pesci, so that was cool. I'm not going to get into many more specifics, but it was like being in the movie Casino except with less murder and less of a plotline and more pasta. Mmm, pasta.
Get the tilapia, like, seriously. Amazing.
