Where do I begin with this one!? Okay, I know - the atmosphere! The Town Square location is the grander of the two in the Las Vegas area. There are dramatic high ceilings with beautifully draped material flowing from the rafters. The place is huge and although there is a wait at times, it moves along quickly.
The food has been consistently good. Being Italian, I dislike Italian chain restaurants, but this is not one of them. The ravioli is superb as is all of their pasta dishes judging from the reaction of our guests and our own experience. Their desserts are wonderful, and they even have "tapas" size to make you feel less guilty.
The newest location in Summerlin is smaller and a little less showy than the Town Square site. However, this just makes it a totally different experience; same great food, but "cozier" feel. Lots of fun on a Saturday when the Farmers Market sets up at the site!
For lunch or dinner, this place is a sure hit.
