  • I was pretty disappointed in our Sirio experience. I wanted to book a table for after the Viva Elvis show - the only option was 9:30, though when we arrived the restaurant was at least half empty. The hostess was friendly but told my husband they had a "no hats" rule in the dining room. Had this been a baseball cap, I would have understood. However, we were easily the most dressed up clientele in the restaurant, and how his bowler would have offended the half-empty room of casually dressed folks was beyond me. It wasn't a good way to start the experience. The staff was incredibly attentive - almost irritating, in fact. We received a wine and cocktail list and were repeatedly nagged about taking an order. I finally had to emphasize that we needed a few minutes to actually read the menu, and seeing the food menu would be nice, too. That said, our waiter did recommend a couple Italian wines by the glass which were reasonably priced, delicious, and exactly the flavour profile we described. In my opinion, the food is over-priced. A basic caesar salad was $16, first course pastas anywhere from $15-$17, and the main course pastas were in the mid $20s. Meat entrees were mostly in the $35-$50 price range. The focaccia that came to the table was very good, but the deep dish of oil & vinegar they provided made it impossible to get a good bite without drowning the bread in the pool of oil to get at the vinegar. The caesar salad was tasty. The four cheese and truffle ravioli, however, was not cooked when I received it. I hated to be "that girl", but it was far beyond al dente so I had to send it back. And while the waiter was very gracious about it and delivered a properly cooked version of the dish, I still found it to be incredibly bland and without any hint of truffles. The asparagus sauce on top was lovely - it turned out to be a great compliment to the bread. For a $22 starter portion I expected much more. My husband was happy with his spaghetti and meatballs, but they were nothing remarkable. The dining room is very modern and nice looking, but I am puzzled about the perpetual references to "fellini-inspired" decor. There is a big dome that looks a lot like the Death Star in the middle of the room, though. The waitstaff was very friendly, but the food was such a major disappointment I didn't even bother to order dessert (which is a rarity for me). I'd say give this one a miss, or give them 6 months to get the kinks worked out.
