| - Not quite 5 stars, but neither is it 4 stars. I agree with Dad on this one: 4.5 (Unfortunately, I can't give half stars). But since everybody else LOVES this place, I'll bump it up to 5 instead of giving it 4 stars (this one's for you Dad, since I just rated the Buffet at the Bellagio for Mom).
A limo from the restaurant came to pick us up at 7:25 PM for our reservations at 7:45 PM. Dad said the limo was complimentary... I have no idea. Dad did the research and made the reservations- I just tag along and eat.
GARLIC LOAF: Loaf of homemade bread sliced and stuffed with garlic, Italian seasonings, mozzarella and parmesan cheese. It was VERY good, albeit a little salty/garlic-y. And maybe a little too cheesy. But still delicious.
OSSO BUCO: It literally is fall-off-the-bone good as the restaurant claims. Not too salty (which is a big thing for me). But the shank is HUGE.
PORK CHOPS SICILIAN: I think Dad ordered this. Two 8 oz pork chops served with potatoes and vegetables. Definitely a man's meal.
CIOPPINO: Very tasty dish comprised of fresh seafood including: lobster, clams, mussels, scallops, crab, cod, and shrimp. The soup part goes very well with bread (but I'm trying to lay off the carbs). I'm pretty sure Dad enjoyed it, though. He claimed he was stuffed, but kept dipping bread into the soup.
Dad also ordered a side of meatballs, which I heard were pretty good, too. There's just a little bit of spice in it to add a little kick, according to the waitress.
The waitress was extremely friendly, and there was live entertainment. Unfortunately, we had no room for dessert. Definitely next time, especially since they're open until 5 AM!
