| - Located inside Crystals Mall, Wolfgang Puck Pizzeria & Cucina offers a gorgeous yet inviting dining room, as well as a modern and chic bar and lounge scene. The restaurant's orientation offer's a bird's eye view of the Crystals Mall, but if you want something more intimate, opt for the interior dining.
The menu is clearly Italian-influenced, with choices like Italian pizzas, salads, pastas & paninis. They also have authentic appetizers such as Italian salumi (San Daniele Prosciutto, my ultimate fav...not easy to find in the U.S) , Grilled Octopus, and Prime Beef Carpaccio. The fine selection they have really demonstrated the authenticity the restaurant brings forth.
Prices are reasonable, so this is a great option if you aren't looking to drop money as if you were dining at Joel Robuchon. The food is definitely well-prepared and nicely presented. The wine list is also solid, with options from both the US and Italy. Glasses are reasonably priced at $8-$12 range.
My most memorable thing here was the dessert- Italian Doughnuts - the Zeppole. I haven't had Zeppole in the states in ages..so this was a delectable and pleasant surprise! Paired with caramel dipping sauce and vanilla gelato - this makes for an outstanding dessert to share! They're fluffy and light, and not overly sweet (comparable to French Beignets).
There a number of reputable Italian restaurants in Las Vegas. Many renowned chefs have opened restaurants on the strip -Mario Batali, most notably for Carnevino in the Palazzo and B&B in the Venetian, Valentino's in the Venetian, Bartolotta in the Wynn - the list is really very extensive. But, if you want to eat somewhere that is appropriate for a casual lunch, a glass of wine in the afternoon, or a solid dinner meal -this is your go-to place for any occasion. The hospitality and service will also impress you.
