| - The restaurant is located in the Via Bellagio Shops across from Tiffany & Co and next to Louis Vuitton. If you're lucky enough to get outdoor seating, you will have a fantastic view of the backside of the Bellagio fountains if it's during the show. Since it often gets busy here, I recommend getting reservations. There are no restrooms inside the restaurant, but there is one located next to Tiffany & Co.
After a late night of gambling, the group wanted something not too heavy (ie no fried foods) for lunch and the BF had been wanting to try this place out for quite some time.

Loved the complimentary spreads that came with bread basket. For an appetizer, we had ordered the Beef Carpaccio which was everyone's favorite as it was very fresh.
My BF had the Fig & Prosciutto Flatbread and thought it unique and very yummy. Crust had the oven brick baked taste to it. I had the Ricotta Ravioli. I was afraid there would be sun-dried tomatoes but the waiter was nice enough to verify with the chef whether or not there was any in the dish. Very bold flavors, I really enjoyed the dish. Our friends thoroughly enjoyed their dishes as well.
Since nearly everyone was still hungover, we all opted for a cup of coffee to end the meal. It was on the weak side :(
Service was very attentive. Plates were quickly cleared and glasses/cups were constantly refilled. Napkins were also folded when someone stepped away from the table.
