| - I love Italian and this is great Italian.
Everything from the water to the desserts was fantastic. The water comes with a plate of lemon wedges and mint leaves. How great is that? I know its just water, but it really made it taste great. Surprisingly, it didn't even taste like desert tap water to begin with. The bread is tasty and comes with a garlicky, spicy olive oil. Yum!
I had a creamy pasta with regular and spinach noodles, prosciutto, peas, and lots of parmesan. My sig other had meatballs with marinara and a caesar salad. Those meatballs were somethin' else. Crispy on the outside and delicious on the inside. A great meal.
The best part of all was the desserts. They brought out a tower on wheels that puts the term dessert cart to sham. An unbelievable good looking chocolate cake, Italian wedding cake, four flavors of gelato, tiramisu, spectacular strawberry cheesecake, and a few others. I went with the pistachio gelato and I'm glad I did. It was so delicious and a perfect pick for this gelato lover. They even make it right there in the restaurant.
There is a row of tables on the outside with a view of the fish tank/exhibit. Make sure to get a reservation if you want one of those tables. I would have if I had known. I also saw them hand making the pizzas. Nice touch. The service was very good. Ciao!
