| - I've lived in Vegas my entire life and have always been curious to try this Italian restaurant tucked into the bottom of a luxury apartment complex. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that Groupon was offering a deal where $15 bought you $30 worth of lunch, so I knew it was time to try it out.
I brought my dad down to the restaurant, and the first thing we noticed was super-small amount of parking available for the restaurant. It looked as though there were only four spaces available, though I'm unsure if the two nearby parking garages and valet are solely available for the apartment building, or are also available for restaurant patrons. That's where the dissapointment ended with our visit.
We walked into the restaurant and were amazed at how nice it looked inside. It had that classic Vegas atmosphere, a little dark and elegantly dressed, though not TOO elegant.
We were seated by the bartender, and waited on by his wife, who were both charming and extremely friendly.
Our waitor brought us some EXCELLENT bread and butter, as well as a complimentary lentil soup and Caeser Salad (sans Chicken), and everything was WONDERFUL.
We also ordered some Garlic Bread ($3.50) as an appetizer, and were really pleasently surprised. It was definently chock full of garlic, but had a nice blend of cheese and butter as well.
For our main course, my dad ordered the lasagna ($13) and I ordered the Tagliatelle alla Bolognese ($13), which were both AMAZING. I especially enjoyed the Bolognese because it was made with both beef and veal, which actually made it taste similar to Osso Bucco. Both of the plates were so large that we were stuffed sufficiently by the end of the meal, and neither of us needed to eat dessert or dinner that night.
I would DEFINENTLY recommend this place to any Italian-food fans, though it surely is better to go at lunch rather than dinner-time. The prices are doubled, and the menu is actually surprisingly not as appetizing.
