| - The guy was craving Italian, so the concierge recommended Stratta. Sometimes, I like going to restaurants I have no prior knowledge of and no expectations. Sometimes, the best surprises come that way.
The restaurant was empty when we arrived - it was Sunday afternoon, around 1 PM.
They brought out bread and a pesto dipping sauce. The dipping sauce, by far, was the best part of the meal.
For my entree, I ordered the bolognese and the guy ordered the shrimp pasta.
The server exclaims that the shrimp pasta is their most popular dish.
Great, now we have expectations.
I almost laughed when they brought out the shrimp pasta. It looked like Chef Boyardee: the squishy, stringy pasta, and bright orange sauce. It tasted okay, but for $25+, I'd like to think they could do better than Chef Boyardee.
My bolognese was decent, although, the sauce really needed a punch of flavor, maybe some fresh herbs of some sort.
Overall, Stratta is pretty typical of most flash Vegas casino eateries: over-priced, underwhelming food.
Welcome to the Wynn.
