Happened to be in the New York New York and wanted dinner. Had seen this place walking by but never stopped. At 7:00 on a Wednesday evening it wasn't crowded so we stopped. Had to laugh when the hostess said do you want inside our outside since the entire place is in the casino but outside means you can see the casino floor. We sat there so we could people watch.
Had a charming waiter who could have passed for Italian but he said he was Mexican. Our drink order was taken right away and we were given a basket of amazing bread and rolls along with oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping. Could have made a meal on that alone. We each had a salad in the interest of pretending to be healthy, and hubby had a pasta with tomato sauce and sausage and I had pasta with seafood and tomato sauce. He said his was very good, I know mine was as well and large portions that neither of us could finish.
Alas we couldn't fit dessert anywhere in our tummies so will save that for another time. The meal was affordable, a bit under $100 for drinks, dinner and a tip. There is a Il Fornaio here in Seattle that we'll be certain to try.
