| - thankfully it was right where we entered the hotel (from the pedestrian walkway/bridge), so we didn't have to walk far into the venetian lol... there's a lil tables w/ chairs and umbrellas section by the windows near the entrance of the pedestrian walkway/bridge (it's right by huge open windows, no screens so birds literally flew in and ate crumbs off the tables!! idk if u like birds w/ ur meals but i sure wouldn't.. idk y they don't have screens on the windows! but yeah this is their version of an outdoor patio i guess) and also there's even more extra seating outside the restaurant if u wanna be in the venetian hotel corridor and do people watching (but this section was roped off when we were there). anyway so we find out we didn't have to wait either :))) we got a nice table by the window so we got a nice view of the strip. our waiter was very nice and informative all around. the bread provided was errr different lol but VERY soft which i appreciated, but def do NOT use the oil concoction provided, OMGOSH it has a horrible taste!!! it only lasts a couple secs but man i was tempted to spit it out lol and my husband actually did.. i dunno, maybe the waiter did the concoction wrong? anyone else get bad flavor w/ it?? i really don't see the appeal of that stuff *shrugs.. anyway, i ordered the 'valastro sunday gravy' which is rigatoni pasta w/ various meats: meatballs, sausage, pork, and lamb.. everything was really soft and tender! however, the meatballs didn't taste like i like em (oh well) and the pasta sauce looked a bit orange rather than red, i don't wanna be insulting but my husband did say 'chef boyardee' when he tried my rigatoni lol.. it was still good tho and great portions. also, the server who brought it actually took the meats out of the lil pot they come in and placed em on my plate of rigatoni for me, i thought that was a nice touch :)...
i also got 2 desserts which the waiter suggested i do cuz i asked him if it was better to get desserts in the restaurant or across in the bakery (price-wise, etc). he suggested the restaurant for the lisa's warm nutella cake (i love nutella so this was a must and tasted very good when i had it later that nite). the lil cake has a filling of peanut butter (if i remember right) in the middle, it was thick lol, i wish i had eaten it when i was in the restaurant still... also, it comes w/ salted caramel ice cream which i wasn't a fan of the taste.. i like my ice cream sweet lol, not salty so that was an adjustment for my taste buds but i ate most of it nonetheless.. the crunchy bits that came w/ it were tasty tho IMO... and of course i had to get the tiramisu (i LOVE tiramisu so i was having high expectations w/ this!) it came in this lil jar deal w/ a few lady finger cookies on the side. i was pretty satisfied w/ the tiramisu but i do wish it was more traditionally plated (a square freely on the plate.. idk what it is about vegas strip restaurants putting desserts in jars lol). a nice lil touch is, they give u an italiany postcard saying thank u on it w/ the check which i appreciated and brought home as a souvenir! :) overall, the food wasn't to die for IMO, w/ buddy's shows and cooking/baking being his forte, u'd think his restaurant would be amazing food-wise, but idk maybe the chefs were having an off day or it should've been cooked by buddy himself lol... either way, i still adore the guy and will continue to watch his TLC shows happily as i have been since day 1!
