| - This ain't Olive Garden.....
Funny, when we came in here, we were asked if we had reservations and only about 3-4 tables were full. I kinda thought they were joking, and said, no we don't, is it okay or do we have to go to Olive Garden. Anyway, of course they were ready to accommodate us and boy did they get busy quick.
1. Service - I am not sure, but it seems that the owners are the one to meet and greet you. They know their stuff and are very pleasant. I really felt at home.
2. Clientele - Seems to be a lot of regulars. You know what that means! People looking for good quality and good value keep coming back.
3. The food -
Bread and Olives - Wow, I kept eating the Olive dip that they made. No idea of the proper name, yet it was amazing.
Salads - Nice mixed green salad with parmesan cheese and other bits like roasted peppers and onions.
Calamari - Light, crispy tender morsels of squid. This was recommended by the owner and it was nice.
Lasagna - The wife had this, her standby favorite and she enjoyed it.
Steak Filet - Had the steak which was named also after the owner I believe. I cannot recall the name. I am a huge converted Filet person, as normally I prefer Rib Eye. More tasty, more succulent, more tender. I originally was going to order their equivalent of the Cioppino and they recommended the Steak. It was okay for me. A lot of sauce, I wanted it med rare and I thought it was well done. A bit chewy for my taste. However, the taste was pleasant, the service great, the people very friendly, so I ate it. Not my most favorite Filet in Las Vegas, yet okay.
4. Dolci and Vino - We did not have any of the dessert as we were going back to the house for dessert and coffee. On the wine, we did not have any, however, I did overhear others ordering and I think it is best to ask what the owners have , as they may have certain wines depending on what they like and pair with their menu.
5. The bill - Our friend paid for us as it was the wife's birthday. It seemed that they were quite busy and had others waiting, so I got the sense the bill came quickly and then the owners come by to ask you so nicely and courteously if all was good and they hope you come back. Very cool, and I really did not feel like i was being asked kindly to leave so they can turn the table.....
I will try this place again. I enjoyed it. For now, I give this place a 3.5 star, so I round it to 4 and we shall see next time I come... if it is a 4 or not....
