| - LOVE this place! I'm so excited to write this review because I'm so happy there is an amazing hip Italian place in Vegas. We came last night around 6 for dinner, and it was super lively inside. They have a beautiful outdoor patio seating that takes up nearly half the restaurant, and the whole restaurant itself is open air. I would describe this place as elegant and rustic.
We got the Garlic Truffle Bread w/Ricotta Appetizer and omg this was so good. The bread is well coated in olive oil, retained the crunchiness and softness of the french loaf, and was bursting in flavor. The homemade ricotta cheese with it was a really nice touch and added a coolness to the bread.
For our main course, we got the Squid Ink Madaldine. I honestly wasn't wowed by this dish for the fact that the pasta itself was too al dente for my liking and the pasta flavor was overpowered by the mint leaves. The spicy tomato sauce itself was really delicious, but I think it needed more of it.
We also got the Funghi Pizza, and WOW this pizza is legitimately so delicious I kept commenting throughout dinner how yummy this pizza was. The crust is really nice, but the star of the dish were the perfectly cooked roasted mushrooms in the olive oil and mozzarella. It really tasted as though truffle oil was used, and I'm a huge truffle fan. So pretty much, you need to get this pizza.
For Dessert, we got the Tiramisu. It was so fresh and yummy, and actually comes in a pretty large portion (enough for 2). I really liked the crunchiness of the chocolate balls on top, adding some nice texture.
The service here was also top notch. I was greeted by the GM and checked on multiple times throughout dinner. I'm in love with North Italia.
