I haven't had a life-changing-OMG-this-pasta-blows-my-mind moment since 2011. Pasta-induced foodgasms have been missing from my life until I went here.
Parking wasn't bad for being in Downtown LV. The place was packed so do make reservations. It felt like California, Portland and IKEA in one place - 2/3 of those places I do like.
Uni Toast:
Crusty bread grilled to that perfect crunch. The layers of flavor and different textures in your mouth are what makes this APPealing. The celery root balances the flavor of the uni. 4/5
Chitarra Cacio e Pepe:
This was what brought me here in the first place. Pasta with 2 basic ingredients: cheese and pepper. So simple, yet so satisfyingly delicious. Think mac and cheese for adults. No protein in this dish, just pure glory of carbs (and fat). Strings of melts cheese for every twist and pull of that fork. 5/5
Lasagnetta Nero:
Squid ink lasagnette in tomato, lemon and truffle sauce with lobster and fennel. This is a beautiful dish with vibrant colors and flavors just the same. Pretty generous with the lobster. If you like fresh flavors with a bit of tartness - this is for you. 5/5
Butterscotch Budino:
Rich and thick budino with caramel on top sprinkled with honeycomb for a nice crunch. 4/5
I found myself forking back and forth between two noodles. I just couldn't decide which one I liked more: the simple one or the one with all the pizazz.
