| - What a great find for upscale Italian food at the Aria Hotel!
The look of the place is fantastic...You'll feel like Joe Pesci is sitting at the next table asking what makes him so funny.
Besides the beautiful decor, you'll be equally impressed with the food and service. Nothing was left to chance, thanks to our fantastic waiter captain, Chris.
After the tasty, complimentary bread basket and salami, we started with the most amazing mozzarella, which Chris had specially done for us, as it wasn't on the menu.
Next, we shared a fantastic squash agrodolce, which is baked squash, topped with mascarpone cheese, agrodolce sauce (butter and sage based), and pumpkin seeds...not only was it magically delicious, it was also prepped table side by Chris.
The Linguine Vongole, which arrived next, had that delicious clam taste you're always hoping for, amidst perfectly cooked pasta.
For our main course, we had the 60-day, dry aged NY Strip for two, which was cooked perfectly, with just the right amount of pink, resulting in delicious chew after delicious chew.
When the dessert cart parked at our table, it was hard to resist the bananas flambee, once again, prepared table side by Chris.
Just when you think things couldn't get better, the meal concluded with a complimentary bottle of limoncello and cookies.
Can't wait to return!
Carbone...the one thing in Vegas that ISN'T a gamble.
