| - Great food, excellent service! I have to admit, I haven't been to the Mirage in years, but we were staycationing nearby and decided to walk over.
We started off with the Misti salad, meatballs and Fritto Misto. The fritto misto was excellent - with shrimp (no calamari), thin sliced zucchini and peppers. Meatballs were served with ricotta cheese and toasted bread - also very good.
The highlight of our meal was the Bucatini Cacio e Pepe, which was bucatini pasta in a light cheese sauce, with cracked black pepper. Perfectly cooked, the sauce wasn't too heavy and the pepper added just the right flavor.
We ended with the olive oil cake, which had a hint of citrus and was served with fresh whipped cream. I've had olive oil cake at other places before and did not like it, until I tried this one.
Our server, Jordan, was a delight! The other staff were friendly and attentive as well. Definitely recommend giving them a try!
