We decided to try this new Italian restaurant in the Mirage when the hankering for pasta hit us. There was a little blip when we arrived since we (six of us) did not have reservations, but the estimated wait time of 2 hours was quickly and mysteriously reduced to immediate seating (only a little more than half the restaurant was occupied)-so I am not sure what warranted that but I'm not complaining.The decor and the staff were dressed in theme, and all the wait staff was very knowledgeable about the food and drink menu.
The menu itself was varied, and had some great options for starters, pasta, and pizzas. We started with a few various salads and the calamari. Calamari and Caser I would recommend, the salad with the arugula was a pass- drenched in dressing with soggy greens. Perhaps ordering dressing on the side would be my suggestion. The 3 pasta dishes we tried were fine, but nothing that would leave me rushing back anytime soon.
I appreciate the effort the reach for authenticity in their cuisine but was not overly excited about the choices on the menu that we made.Overall, I would say this was an OK meal in Vegas, with so many choices on the strip I would not hurry back. Our bill with drinks for 6 people was around $300+.
