| - Hmm, the first time I came here to eat, I was very disappointed and did not enjoy my meal at all! The food was bland and did not entice my taste buds. Now the second time I came here, I came with my friend who was visiting Vegas for the weekend. It was a late meal and we were both HUNGRY! haha. Walking around the strip, the restaurant Lavo caught my friend's eye and we looked at the menu and she wanted to dine there. I was a bit hesitant, but since she was the guest, I complied and asked for a seat for two for dinner.
As we got the menu, we were trying to decide what to order. We ended up decided to order family style. This mean, 2 friends, 5 dishes, ranging from salad, appetizers, a main entree, and including dessert! We ordered their famous meat ball with ricotta cheese, the truffle fries, a lobster scampi pizza, and a fish dish with a delicious crouton salad that I forgot the name of!
The meatball was actually really good! I can see why everyone talks about it! It is one full pound of wagyu beef (very tender beef) cooked with lots of flavors and topped with marinara sauce and ricotta cheese. Eating it by itself was a bit too salty, so I paired it with their complimentary garlic bread. Both of use only had 1/4 of the ball since we wanted to try everything else.
When the truffle fries came out, it was DELICIOUS! Now this is how fries are suppose to be! Semi burnt! ;-) Hahaha. I loved burnt potatoes! Not of those light gold colored fries you get at McD's, but the dark brown, crispy fries that has been in the fryer longer than it was suppose to be! hahahaha. Topped with parmasean cheese and truffle oil, my mouth was dancing in joy with each bit!
Next up, the Lobster scampi Pizza and the fish dish (which was not memorable besides the crouton salad it came with). Now Lobster scampi on top of a flat bread pizza...need I say more? It was DELICIOUS! No complaints there!
As for the fish dish, It was okay...but the croutons side dish was so good! I swear what they did was cubed bread, deep fried it to a crisp, tossed it was cucumbers and tomato and served it! Simple yet amazing!
Last but not least...dessert....not I know Lavo is known for their deep fried oreos...but after hearing about its texture, I was not appeased to even try it! The waiter basically told us it tasted like oreo dough...in my mind (oreo soaked in oil) Ouch...heart attack! So instead, we chose to order the toasted marshmellow 7 layer rolled cake....such a great decision because it was what we both were craving! It was a thin layer of chocolate cake, rolled with a vanilla type of cream and covered with chocolate ganache. Very sweet, but perfect ending to such a delicious meal!
Now I wasn't impressed with my first experience here, and after giving it a second chance, LAVO has won my taste buds! I'd recommend my friends to come here, so you should come and try it too! =)
