| - This place is amazing!
The reason I say this is because we went in expecting the worst and left wowed.
Let me explain a little, my family and I had been walking around all over the strip since 10 am, tired, hungry and irritated, around 6pm we finally stopped and chose the first place we saw to eat. Im a big foodie and didn't even notice this was Iron Chef Mario Batali's Restaurant (yeah, I was THAT tired).
First thing I have to say is that the Olive Oil they bring out with the bread (ask for bread service, not only is it delicious, its free!) is amazing, easily the best and the most flavorful olive oil I have ever tasted. What I recommend is to order a few different dishes and share amongst your party, italian style after all! We ordered the Pancetta and Goat Cheese, I'm not a big pizza person but boy was this delicious I couldn't stop eating it (The pizza's here can easily be shared by 2 people) We also ordered the Penne alla Norma, very tasty! But the real winner of this meal was the Marinated Chicken Paillard!! I HIGHLY recommend ordering this when eating here, it cannot be missed! AMAZING is the only word I can use to describe this dish, I still crave it each and everyday and so does the rest of my family! I could not figure out why this meal was so great and flavorful, this meal had a special quality about it that I couldn't put my finger on, but then I turned around and I saw, very discretely, Mario Batali's name and I quickly understood why this was a high quality meal.
Thank you Chef Batali, I praise you for this glorious meal.
Everything about the meal was perfection (service was so-so though, that is until it was time to leave the tip! wink-wink) The atmosphere is also great, feels like your outside and they have some great entertainment. I will most defiantly be back on my next trip!
