| - We all have a place where we swear has "The best Italian Food Ever!" Well, I did too. Then I came here...
Why is it so good, you may be wondering?
I wish I could describe exactly what was it about this place and the food that immediately made it my #1 spot for Italian Cuisine. I shall attempt to describe, yet I feel like my attempts at capturing the magnificence of this establishment with mere words on a page will not do it justice, but I will try
1) Food - Obviously this is my number one reason for falling in love with the place. I have had great Italian food, that I assumed was amazing....on the first bite of a Spaghetti with Marinara sauce, the simplest form of Italian you could go, the flavors of ripe tomatoes, fresh herbs danced around in my palate. The texture of the al dente pasta was impeccable.
I have been to numerous extremely expensive Italian Restaurants in Vegas and New York City...which while the food was great, it didn't shock and amaze me like the food here.
I like to think that I have a refined palate for tasting foods yet I could not, for the life of me, put my finger on what made their sauce so unbelievably perfect. I will have dreams of this Marinara sauce for years to come. It is light, yet robust with flavor, no puree or canned tomatoes here I assure you.
2) The ambiance - Every place you go to nowadays has the same style of decor and feel. You feel like just another body of mass in a place. Somehow this place made me transport back to the golden era of Las Vegas. When judging by the pictures online, I assumed it would be a fancy place, but not in the good sense, more in the "snobby and stuck up" sense, I was wrong. I felt like I belonged here (as much as a Latino can feel like he belongs in an Italian joint). I truly adored the booths and tables, so intimate, I can't wait to bring a date here.
3) Staff - I wish I could remember the name of my bartender/server, he worked the Night Owl shift on Friday. He made me feel right at home, as if we had been buddies for years and i'm not talking about "playing the friendly bartender" so he could get tips, I could honestly see that he loved what he was doing. Very polite and down to earth person.
As we talked he demonstrated the amount of respect he has for the food they serve and for the family, it is very rare to find a place where the bartenders/servers actually enjoy working at. It's a sign management must be doing a good job and taking care of their people.
Conclusion: I feel like my entire life has been a lie. What I imagined was amazing Italian food, turns out was just good. I'm upset it took me 2 years in Vegas to find out about this place (damn you locals for not telling me about it). Make this a bucketlist item. You won't regret it.
