| - If you are staying in Vegas, do yourself a big favor - get off the strip for a couple of hours and go to Ferraro's. I heard about it from some clients, and my hon of hons husband and I decided to check it out. The place is definitely old school Italian, with comfy leather booths, a guy playing piano, accompanied by a guy singing Frank Sinatra, and a little dance floor.
Our server was super nice and took great care of us all night. He made wine suggestions, all of which were right on point. I should make a special point about the wine - the list is enormous and is about 98% Italian wines. I had a wonderful Pinot Grigio that was almost honey colored, and was freaking incredible. My HOHH tried a couple of different Barolo's, each of which was better than the prior one.
We ate a LOT - grilled asparagus wrapped with prosciutto and fresh mozzarella, a delicious Caesar salad, veal piccata and sea bass with a saffron/lobster sauce. The sea bass was so good I almost wanted another portion, but managed to control myself. I don't know how they did it, but the broccoli rabe served with the entrees was almost mellow flavored, rather than the usual bitter taste (which I happen to love).
Five stars, and I will definitely be back. It reminded me a little bit of the Italian restaurants I used to frequent when I lived in NY, complete with the goombatas at the bar.
