| - This is by far my favorite Italian restaurant in Las Vegas. I gave a few gift certificates to my brother to use on date nights with his girlfriend and they both loved their experience every time. He told me the food is always phenomenal and the service couldn't be any better than perfect!!! I came here on a random moment and the hostess kindly sat me in a booth that had a spectacular view of the Strip. I took a photo, but it really doesn't justify how breathtaking it looked being there. I would definitely recommend anybody that is looking for a romantic spot for a date, anniversary, birthday, you name it.. any celebration.. this would definitely be a wonderful option to consider.
I was greeted by a busser? named Kevin and surprisingly he took care of me during my whole time dining there. The first that I ever experienced, but I didn't mind at all, since he was very attentive and gave me exceptional guest service from being my server, busser, and runner. Even boxed my leftovers and refilled my raspberry iced tea without having to ask not even once!!!
After placing my order, Kevin brought out a brown bag accompanied with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar on the side. The idea of having two warm soft pillow bread sticks waiting for you in a brown bag was actually quite appealing and made it more appetizing to eat. It tasted light and delicious... warm bread sticks are hard to say no to... I indulged and enjoyed them.
For appetizer.. I ordered the Calamari Fritti. Love that it wasn't deeply fried to crisp, but just enough so you can enjoy the airy crunch and lightly breaded squid. I was given two sauces: a spicy marinara and a miso chili sauce that was in a black plastic sample cup to try out. Both sauces were delicious... the spicy marinara tasted so fresh like they just whipped that sauce together like it was made to order. The miso chili sauce was incredible in flavor... I wish they could make this in a jar to take home!!! It had this sweetness and then a tangy end note.. went very well with the calamari. I could have ate this like popcorn in a movie theater... stop only when there's nothing left :)
For the main entree... I ordered the Lobster Ravioli. The portion was beautiful... there were four plumply rounded raviolis with three enormously sized blackened shrimps, and three thick asparagus cooked to perfection. The pink sauce was oh so savory and the flavors were so balanced.. nothing was too rich to enjoy. The shrimp was tender and the spice gave it such an impact of delight. The ravioli was filled with a generous amount of lobster meat and the texture from the pasta itself was wonderful. Texture always gets me in pasta and this was definitely a winner.
I can't leave an Italian restaurant without trying my favorite dessert... Tiramisu!!! Great presentation and goodness gracious was it GOOD. One bite and I was dizzy from overdrive of joy. It comes with one lady finger cookie, topped with shaved dark chocolate flakes, and the filling also had bits of this flake, which was pleasing to break in your mouth and gave it... Character. The whipped cream was heavenly... so fresh and cooling to the tongue. I imagined bathing in this, it felt so silky and smooth in my mouth... AMAZING. The breading with the filling was luscious, soft, and moist. One of the best Tiramisu I ever had. Mind blowing magnificent in Tiramisu creations.
Overall, this place is striving with excellence.. in food and service. I came here right when they opened for dinner at 5p.m., not even 30 mins. and this whole place was packed. Must be a locals hangout or favorite. My favorite in Italian cuisine and definitely one that I rave about to many!!!
