This review is for the Pasta Demonstration and Luncheon that was part of Vegas Uncorked 2009.
The event started with an introduction by Hugh Garvey from Bon Appetit Magazine. Then Chef Carlos took us through the process for making several types of Pasta and answered questions from the audience. I think he would make an outstanding TV Chef. He was funny, informative and engaging. Before the presentation, we got to sample some Prosecco and Arancini (little fried balls of rice that were stuffed with beef and cheese). They were both wonderful!
After the demonstration we were treated to a buffet that included an antipasto platter, a wonderful pear salad with Balsamic Sherry Vinaigrette, Tortelloni, Raviolini, and some wonderful Lobster Gnocchi. The dessert section included an amazingly light Panna Cotta and an obscenely rich Chocolate Mousse.
The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and the staff was very friendly and accommodating! Based on this experience I will definitely be back for dinner the next time I visit Vegas!
