EVOO done in a hundred delectable ways. This is my new favorite restaurant in Las Vegas. I know! That's a hard stamp to lick but here's why I love Nora's Wine Bar and Osteria.
Nora indulges in the Italian culture. It plays to an older crowd. A more sophisticated crowd that's slightly more pretentious than Nora's Cuisine. But that's OK because this is a place where you can take a date or your visiting folks and be proud. The wine selection is top notch and you can even do tastings at the enomatic bar.
Their homemade bread is served with 3 different olive oils, and 3 different sea salts. Seriously, they had me at the salt at this point and the food was free so far. The Salish Alderwood smoked sea salt was so good I had to buy a bottle on the way out. Their Bruschette are just to die for. My favorite is the Eggplant caponata. Pair that with the cheese selection and I'm already feeling stuffed at the Primi. We ordered the a traditional pasta dish but it was slightly salty.
I couldn't even make it to the desert which I'm sure will be divine. Then again, McDonald's 99c soft serve was calling my name in the next door plaza.
If I love Nora's anymore than this, I'll name my next child after the restaurant.
Next visit: Choose another bottle, go down the list of small bites, skip the main and order desert.
