This was our convention group dinner.
They closed the restaurant to accommodate over 200 of us.
The restaurant is on the second floor of the masquerade tower at the Rio Hotel.
It over looks the swimming pool.
It has a nice long bar
They had 3 TV in the main dining area, two of which was playing Godfather II, Sweet.
Music playing and disco lights on.
A really nice place to have dinner.
Here's the rundown:
The Best Meatball & Salad "Signature Martorano Meatball" I have to say, the meatballs are really good. It was serve with ricotta which made it taste better. The salad it came with was just okay.
Fried Calamari w/ Sweet & Spicy Chili Sauce This dish was my favorite of the night. Nice size calamari. Perfectly fried. That sweet & spicy chili sauce was dynamite. So good. Thinly sliced Serrano chili rounded this dish nicely
Fried Mozzarella Stack "Tomatoes, Prosciutto di Parma, Aged Balsamic Vinegar & Extra Virgin Olive Oil" This was another winner. A thick piece fried nicely and tasted great with the prosciutto and balsamic vinegar. Yum!!
Rigatoni Pollo "Diced Chicken Cutlet, Hot & Sweet Peopers, San Marzano Tomatoes & Reggiano Parmesan Cheese" the rigorous was a bit too Al dente for me. The taste was good, just not pasta part for me.
Chilean Seabass Scampi Style w/ White Wine, Garlic Butter, Peas & Cherry Tomatoes. The Seabass was just so buttery, melt in your mouth delicious. The white wine sauce complimented this dish
Chicken Downtown "Chicken Cutlet, Ricotta Cheese, Spinach, Mushrooms, Vine Ripe Tomatoes & Fresh Mozzarella" a nice well rounded dish. Crunch from the chicken cutlet and a very flavorful sauce.
Red Velvet Cake. The cake was very moist with a cream cheese frosting. A nice way to finish our meal.
The service was excellent. Sparkling mineral water was refilled constantly. Plates cleared efficiently. Dishes explained as they are served.
What an Italian feast!!
Family Style!!
