This place was great. Strong drinks, wonderful service and oustanding food. The calamari was in line with the best I've had at other places, couple that with good bread, salad and amazing ossu bucco and you have to give this place a try.
Yes, it is not on the strip, but is is located across from the Hard Rock Hotel. This has it's advantages as you are not paying for location as you are on the strip. The prices were very fair for the quality of food, especially in Las Vegas, NV. The service was top notch as we never had to wait for a refill or have dirty plates in front of you.
This place gets busy, so make a reservation. We had one on a Saturday night and still had to wait about 15 minutes, but we got a drink in the bar and had no complaints. Also, use a restaurant.com gift certificate to save yourself some cash.
