| - I was visiting Vegas to ring in the New Year and we wanted to get some dinner. My parents decided to let my brother choose the food that night and he wanted to eat Italian. After looking up some places, he chose this one, and I am extremely thankful that he did.
Looking at the menu, I immediately freaked out because of the pricing (double what I usually pay for). However, I decided to roll with it, as we don't splurge that often, and it was Vegas, after all.
What we ordered:
Starters: Filet Mignon Meatballs ($12): These were absolutely amazing! It comes with three plump meatballs, much bigger than we were expecting, with a delicious tomato-y pomodoro sauce and some spaghetti. We wished we ordered it from the Pasta menu, but maybe next time?
Pasta Specialties: Gnocchi al Pesto ($18): Soft ricotta dumplings with a creamy pesto sauce in a large plate that I simply could not finish! These are a meal on their own, and in my case I had leftovers. These cheesy dumplings should not be underestimated, as they do fill you up!
Individual Brick Oven Pizza: Primavera ($16): A light vegetarian pizza loaded with flavors. I have had a pizza with similar toppings, and that pizza absolutely pales in comparison. This pizza was not very greasy and seemed to be quite authentic.
Drinks: Cappuccino ($6.5): The most expensive cappuccino I have ever had, but one that I will never regret ordering. After having that cappuccino, I have craved it many times over. The drink comes in a small cup with a small piece of biscotti on the side and a small stick of rock sugar. It was the perfect cup of cappuccino in my opinion.
My family (4 including me) shared these dishes and we had leftover pizza and gnocchi, which we (I) later on devoured at our hotel room. The service was great, with our server giving us time to eat and periodically refilling our water glasses. I was surprised that he didn't come by to check on our food as often as people usually do, but it was a nice change, and I'm guessing more authentically Italian? Anyways, I highly recommend this place!
