| - LOUNGE/BAR
Very modern and hip, very M. Veloce Cibo is located on the 16th floor and boasts some beautiful views of the city, either from its outdoor patio or window-side lounge/dining tables. If you are interested in having a window-front dining experience, reserve your table in advance, otherwise you'll have to be patient for one to open up. We went on a Tuesday night, so I knew it wouldn't be too busy. It took about 20 minutes for a window table to open up. Meanwhile, we enjoyed some drinks in the lounge. I ordered a Hypnotiq martini and the bf had a glass of Conundrum=$18, not bad! In the lounge, their menu does have appetizers!
DINING
The hostess informed us our table was ready. We took our drinks over. We were immediately served a basket of breads and flat breads with butter.
The view is beautiful; from where we were sitting, you could see the hustle and bustle of the strip, yet we were so far away, it all looked so peaceful; from a closer perspective, we could see all of the M's different levels (outdoor patios) from which diners/drinkers can have a similar view.
Our server was pleasant and didn't mess anything up! Although the swiss cheese fondue was not on the dining menu, I did notice it was on the bar/lounge menu. Whoo hoo, our server brought it out to us for an appetizer! It was swiss cheesy with a slight sweet taste. It was served with sauteed mushrooms, raw broccoli, and cubed bread--yum!! The bf also ordered some other starters such as sushi (me no eat water-living creatures), he said it was fresh. For a large plate, he ordered the butternut squash pumpkin raviolli complete with sage butter. I tried some of his, delish! Last but not least, I ordered the filet mignon, medium-well (me like moo moo). I requested to not have the bleu cheese crust (yuck). When my steak came out, omg, it was PERFECT in every way!!!!!!!!! Also on the plate were four perfectly sauteed asparagus stalks! Back to the filet, it sat atop of a port reduction which reminded me of a demi glaze (yummo). Needless to say, the port reduction was a perfect compliment to the filet. Did I mention the filet, reduction, and asparagus were amazing...some of the best ever consumed by this Asian. Just an FYI, I had the filet downstairs @ Terzetto's and it was just okay, maybe a choice cut--not nearly as good as Veloce's which was definitely a prime cut. Our accompaniments were macaroni & cheese and yukon mashed potatoes. I tried a few bites of the mac & cheese and it had a nice crust of garlic atop of it. Pretty yummy! I didn't have much of it, nor did I even try the mashed potatoes because I was so entranced by the filet. At least we had leftover side dishes!
CONCLUSION
Veloce Cibo has an array of different style menu items. As other Yelpers have noted, the menu is whacky with all of the different cuisines (yet no soups). However, EVERYTHING we had on our table was made with quality ingredients and cooked perfectly.
Our bill was $125 + a $25 tip. Well worth it!!!! For a breakdown of prices:
Filet Mignon $40
Butternut Squash Pumpkin Raviolli $23
Mac & Cheese $8
Yukon Gold Mashed $8
Swiss Fondue $ ???
Sushi--two rolls $ ???
We'll be back, that's a promise not a threat!
