| - I had free $200 food and beverage credits linked to my room, and we had to use them at Aria, so we decided on Five50. We had a party of ten, and were told to wait fifteen minutes. When she finally announced that the table was ready, we were led to a round table in a secluded area, and were seated. The reason why we waited fifteen minutes is beyond my knowledge, for the restaurant probably had less than ten diners excluding us.
Upon much contemplation, we agreed upon ordered four pizzas, and two pasta dishes to share. The pizzas were the margherita, gotham, truffle, and north beach. The pastas included the ricotta cavatelli, and a secret dish, not on the menu, which featured freshly arrived clams, and linguine. The pizzas and pastas came out fairly quickly. The pizzas were all very tasty, my favorite being the truffle and margherita. One does not get to eat real truffles every day, so they were a welcome treat. The margherita had a sweet and savory sauce, and the cheese was equally appealing to the palate. However, the pastas, lacked anything they would deem them of a worthy restaurant quality dish. The cavatelli was overpowered with a sour and salty lime taste that went into every spoonful. On the other hand, the secret pasta lacked any flavor at all. It was bland, and very oily.
-1 star for the disappointing pastas.
+4 stars for the excellent service and great tasting pizzas.
