| - Is Giada worth the hype? Yeah...personally I think so. The ambiance of the restaurant puts confidence in me to know this will be a good experience. Also, the food was fresh and well-presented. Service was attentive throughout the night.
Wish I knew about the photo booth by the hostess desk. I would love to have quality photos of our night instead of taking a selfie by Giada's marquee at the bottom of the escalators...lol. So don't forget to check out the photo booth! Our candlelight table was by the window with a great side angled view of the Bellagio fountains and LV Blvd.
Along with their complimentary assortments of bread and its corresponding condiments, Boyfriend and I decide to order a few appetizers to share. We got:
Bacon Wrapped Dates: with spicy Italian sausage & gorgonzola crema $15-a lot of flavors going on here. You get a mixture of the sweetness from the dates and all the savory goodness from the bacon and a small hint of Italian sausage.
Spicy Italian Sausage Arancini: with parmesan fonduta & pomodoro sauce $16-this tasted like a fried mac n cheese ball to me. Don't get me wrong, it was freakin amazing!!!!!!! Didn't really taste any Italian sausages though.
For our entrees, we ordered:
Fregolotto: with roasted rainbow cauliflower, garlic purée, parmigiano, kale pesto, crispy prosciutto $28. This is in the pasta section and it looks and taste like couscous. I enjoyed this very much. The flavoring could be a bit more, but once I added some crushed red peppers, boom! the flavor and the added spice was perfect!
Barolo Braised Australian Wagyu Beef Short Rib: soft polenta, garden vegetables $52.-Boyfriend was obsessed!!! He's a big short ribs fan so when our waiter introduced a few of the dishes to us, this caught his attention and immediately had his heart set. However....he's someone that doesn't bother looking at the price so when our bill came, he was a little taken back by how much this dish was. Granted, even though he enjoyed it...he didn't feel like short ribs should cost $52. He said at that price....it's worth getting a prime rib!!! By no means does this affect our experience and this review, but just an observation.
Portions were on the small side. I'm a really small eater but I was able to finish my entree....along with the appetizers and bread I ate before that!!! I couldn't believe it!! LOL!! To me, the fancier the restaurant, the less likely I'll have leftovers for the next day...and this girl loveeeesssss her leftovers!! Great restaurant and we will definitely be back....there were a lot of other dishes we wanted to try. Good job Giada, your restaurant is well worth the hype!
