| - Came here for restaurant week!
Semi casual Italian restaurant, off the strip, that caters to locals! Not sure if they offer the menu at 1/2 price for locals year round, but during our visit it was still going on! That's EVERYTHING on the regular menu at half price for locals!
We supplemented the RW menu with Calamari Fritti ($15 / $7.50 for locals): Fried calamari and Spicy Tomato Sauce. This was good, very tender pieces of squid. Lightly breaded with not much flavor/seasoning...almost plain! Wish these was a bit more zing/kick in the flavor dept.
The Complimentary bread...nothing crazy here, but the pesto/olive oil combo was nice. I dipped the calamari in it to add flavor lol.
Tasting of Agnolotti : Ravioli Filled with Spinach, Mascarpone, Ricotta, Mortadella, and Tear-Drop Tomato Sauce. Good, but wish there was more to the tasting lol. They gave up one ravioli, so it was a pretty light portion.
Tasting of Gnocchi Bolognese : House Made Potato Dumplings with Bologna Meat Sauce. This was perfect! The dumplings were super soft, tender and meat sauce was flavorful! This was the highlight of the night for me actually, and I would come back for this dish alone! Gnocchi doesn't usually do too much for me, but this actually wow'd me!
Mista del Casa: Mixed Greens with Balsamic Vinaigrette. This was actually pretty good, coming from someone that doesn't enjoy eating salad lol. Simple but flavorful salad.
Caprese di Bufala: Bufala Mozzarella, Heirloom Tomatoes, Basil, Pine Nuts, Balsamic Vinegar and Olive Oil. I only tasted the Mozzarella, which was good. Not my kind of dish.
For main entrees, Osso Buco ($45 or $22.50 for locals): The House Specialty, Veal Shank Braised in Red Wine Reduction and Faro. This was super tender, fall off the bone, and melt in your mouth! Sauce was a good consistency, but a bit rich...couldn't finish it! Tried the bone marrow...ok, but I guess I am not a huge marrow fan.
Pollo Piccata: Chicken Breast, Capers, Lemon, Butter and White Wine. Good chicken, a bit heavy on the capers with a strong mustard taste, but good overall.
And for dessert, a Tasting of Tiramisu and Cannoli. Tiramisu wasn't overly strong tasting, but good overall. Cannoli had a crisp shell and light filling...good!
Service was very friendly, and our waiter even entertained Little Foodie Dude while he ate :P
Prices would be great if you are local, and fair if you aren't...just not as much bang for your buck on certain dishes. Go with the pasta since everything is made in house! Give em a try :P
