| - I was there Saturday night to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was my first time there. When you first enter, you'll notice all the little touches with Giada's name, from the carts to the napkins. The views are amazing because it faces Las Vegas Blvd.
Now on the the food, it was overall a great experience. The server was very knowledgeable and suggested we order a few of their appetizers as these are tapas style, small plates. We ordered the chicken meatballs, grilled octopus, bruschetta with burrata cheese, eggplant parmigiana, and sausage pizza to start. The eggplant parmigiana was so good that my friend that hates eggplants had seconds. The pizza was also a highlight. The rest were good, just didn't wow us.
For the entrees we had the steak, lobster ravioli and 2 orders of the Branzino. Our friends that has been there before told me that the Branzino is awesome, and they were right. The skin was amazingly crisp without drying out the meat. The steak was cooked perfectly. The lobster ravioli was a disappointment. The pasta was way to al
dente. It was hard and made it quite brittle when cutting into it. Even though I can see the filling had lobster, I couldn't taste it. Could've skipped it.
