| - This weekend I was blessed enough to have the opportunity to go to this adorable Italian restaurant, located at the tail-end of the Strip District. Seeing that it was a beautiful Saturday night, my group and I were told that we had to wait for about an hour and a half to eat. We were far too excited to eat here, so we accepted the challenge. Tip: get a reservation, if you can.
First, the atmosphere in this joint is impeccable. If you couldn't tell by the font on the sign, it has this vintage-yet-modern freshness that feels both fancy and dressed down. In the entrance, there is a beautiful coffee bar/delicatessen that functions primarily during the daylight hours, and to the side is a fancier dining room with eccentric pieces--like the glass-bottle chandeliers-- to offset the clean natural vibe given off by the natural wood tables and wicker chairs.
Second, the food is EVEN MORE impeccable than the atmosphere. To start, we ordered the fresh bread with oil and cheese. It arrives at your table looking like a heaping bubble of hot dough, and when you pop the air bubble, it settles down to a warm pizza crust without the toppings. One word: life-changing. My friends and I were about to cry when we finished it, we just wanted more.
When our entrees arrived, my friends ordered the gnocchi and I ordered the primavera. I can't speak for my friends, but their plates were clean within minutes, which made it seem like the gnocchi was to die for. The primavera was delicious as well. I tend to like things spicier, so I added hot pepper flakes, but I would recommend more salt and pepper in this dish as well. The vegetable pairings in the dish were delicious. There were fava beans, some sort of larger root vegetable that I couldn't identify, and peas, among others. I especially enjoyed the peas, and the walnuts were an interesting flavor to add to the dish. I would eat this again for sure. In fact, I'm craving it as we speak.
After dinner, my friend ordered the tiramisu while I went for the tri-color cookies-- an Italian staple to end the night. The rainbow cookies were not as soft as I remembered them to be, but nonetheless I gobbled it right up. My friend enjoyed her tiramisu, and her Snapchat friends were quite jealous when she added a picture of it to her story.
Upon leaving this restaurant, I told every friend and family member I came in contact with to try this place immediately. I am here to tell you that you MUST as well. It was life changing.
