| - This is the partner of Rocco's Pizza- which we have always enjoyed in Summerlin. Aurelio's used to be here and I am GLAD it is gone! The whole inside has been re-done and it is lighter, brighter and above all- CLEAN (something sorely lacking at Aurelios)!
We were greeted promptly, and our server with the golden voice (literally he has a radio voice!) apologized that he wasn't able to serve alcohol yet, but there was soda (even though some of the machine wasn't working) and the alcohol license was in the process of being approved.
We ate in and ordered the Monday night special- a 16" cheese pizza for $8.99 and added some toppings on one half, and a house salad with their home made Italian dressing.
Our salad came first- typical house salad with iceberg, carrots, a few cucumbers tomatoes and some rather thick cut red onion (thinner might have been better-it was a strong onion!). Their house dressing was good, but not amazing (at least it was home made!)
Pizza was great! Loved the thin crust and the toppings were quality. Not too much cheese, great sauce and plenty to take home! It tasted very much like what we had at Rocco's.
Service was attentive and we were informed of some other interesting menu items we might like to try on our next visit. Water (or other beverages) were kept filled, but no one hovered.
Half way through our waiter informed us that he was also out of the home made canollis....but he also hoped to get those in this location soon. I asked him if he had the zeppolis like Rocco's and he did produce some! They were not fresh...when they are - they are divine, but points for trying and not charging.
Whilst eating, another table sat next to us- an older lady and son/caretaker. She asked for coffee (they don't have that yet), then tried ordering no less than 5 items that they didn't have (yet)! She was very frustrated....and I have to agree! It was explained to her that they use the same menu as their other store- so there are many items they don't have yet at this location. I think I would have preferred a paper menu that was accurate to what WAS available....not promises as to what was to come. At some point bring the full menu of the other location in- but it really is frustrating to order (or want to order) things they do not have. Even at 8 days young (which we all were reminded of several times) the menu can be set. Everyone understands kinks at a new place.....but that many missing items a week in will ensure people will not return or the place opened too early. This being a multiple location establishment, it isn't THAT hard to open it with a mostly full menu available- at least food wise.
Other than that minor irritation, we will definitely return! To have a full meal, with leftovers for $20 (with a good tip) was amazing! I welcome them to our neighborhood and hope they get the alcohol and dessert soon!
