Located in the MGM Hotel. I came here kind of spontaneously with my family. We were starving in the area and some Italian sounded good to us. Service was descent. Wine/Alcohol options are presented on an iPad, which is unique. Overall, it's a descent restaurant and I had a pleasurable experience.
CRISPY CALAMARI: It met my calamari standards. A lot of the calamari pieces came in octopus shaped pieces haha.
KOBE BEEF MEATBALLS: Huge meatballs that we split amongst us. Packed with flavor and it was awesome. It came with ciabatta bread that is perfect for dipping into the pomodoro sauce.
SEAFOOD PLATTER: An appetizer dish that has a little bit of everything. It comes with 4 oysters on a half shell, 4 prawns, half a lobster tail, and ahi tuna tartare. I loved everything. The tuna tartare had a kick to it, which was perfect for a spicy lover like me.
FIAMMA TRIO OF PASTA TASTING: This dish gives a tasting of three of the Chef's Favorite Pasta Dishes. I don't think you'll be full as the picture I took shows the portion size. I would suggest getting the actual dish instead. Here were the pastas...
---TRADITIONAL POTATO GNOCCHI: This lobster gnocchi was really good. You can taste the truffle and the gnocchi is made really fresh. I understand its popularity! It was the only one I think worth ordering of the three.
---AGNOLOTTI: This was beef, veal, and pork ravioli. I didn't like the flavor of this at all. I can't even tell you what bothered me, but I just didn't enjoy it.
---ORECCHIETTE: This was broccoli and spiced sausage with tomatoes and pasta. This was just average and came out just what I expected.
RAVIOLINI: This was my order of the night and it was great! Usually ravioli entrees come with three or four fat raviolis and you're left hungry. This dish came out with a bunch and I left perfectly content. The truffle cream is amazing and the short rib ravioli is really yummy!
HOMEMADE FETTUCCINE: This is such a filling plate. The fettuccine is well made and the creamy basil pesto sauce is good. The sauce is quite dominant and strong, so a head's up to those who don't like that. Prawns were big and scattered in the dish.
BAROLO BRAISED SHORT RIB: The flavor of the braised short rib was amazing. To me it had a hint of asian seasoning and this is definitely a great choice for those who are craving meat.
