| - We wanted to go for an upscale Italian meal at the Venetian, so we had plently of choices. looking at yelp they all seemed to have about the same overall rating but this place seemed to have the most consistent reviews. So even though we love Mario batalli we decided to give this place a shot. Monday night and pretty quite but the servers hustled with great professionalism. My wife and I sat in the front part of the restaurant near the bar, the place is much deeper than this but the back half was not being used, probably because it was a slow night.
The menu is laid out like most nicer Italian menus, apps, salads, primeri, secundi, etc. The waiter made a point of telling us every dish was made to order so if we wanted to make any special requests we should feel free. Since I had steak the two previous evenings (I know....first world problems!) I opted for the bronzini and my wife got the risotto with crab meat. The fish was cooked perfectly, cut into about 4 sections and served in a large bowl instead of a flat plate, the sauce was thick and delicious makinf this dish almost a stew. Overall, one of the best fish dishes I've had. My wifes risotto, while at first seeming to be a little on the small size for the price, was very well prepared, rich and dense so wound up being just right.
Between dinner and desert our waiter got a bit overwhelmed when a big party came in but one of the other servers spotted this and came to fill in which definitely speaks of a level of concern for the customer which is nice to see. Side note: the large party seemed to be having a fixed menu dinner which looked really nice.
Chocolate mousse dessert was pretty good although tasted a bit like it had sat in the fridge a while but still not bad.
Used my tablet for this review so sorry for weird spelling or grammar.
