| - Hmmm, I am so torn...
If not for the pizza, this place would be a solid 4 stars. Usually, I'd only drop it down to three stars and say, "stay away from the pizza," but, well, if you are a pizza joint, it just doesn't work that way.
The desserts here get 5 stars! I had a cannoli, it was perfect! The sweet ricotta was just the right level of sweet, the shell was firm, but not dry. One of my friends had a chocolate covered one and he said it was excellent as well.
The sides are also very yummy. The garlic knots are well seasoned and melt in your mouth.
The setup is nice, with plenty of seating, including an outdoor patio and an indoor bar. The patio provides a view of Fremont. The bar has a decent selection of alcohol with a few more specialized liquors you won't necessarily find everywhere else.
The service is also good, with staff that is friendly and accommodating. even when the place is clearly slow and they're probably not making what they should be in the way of tips compared to other Fremont Street servers on a Friday night, they still stay cheery and aim to please.
But, the pizza. It's badly made and clearly with the wrong cheeses and wrong seasonings in the sauce. The pizza here tastes like the horribly over sweetened crap you get at dominos. Or used to get at dominos. I think even dominos has figured out how to make a better pizza at this point (not GOOD, mind you, just BETTER).
We ordered a white pizza and a regular one, so the problem was not one pizza alone. Everything was bad.
If you've already had dinner, it's a nice place to grab dessert and drinks on the patio. Just stay away from the pizza.
