Normally I have no problem paying a little more for food, provided it is good. SO, I'd have to say that I'm really glad we had a $20 off coupon to eat here.
The food itself is deserving of 2 stars but I gave the place 3 stars because it's cute inside and Brad, our server, was really nice. My hope for him is that he will someday wait tables at a place that actually serves decent food.
So, on to the actual food..
We started out with fried calamari, which was pretty good. The sauce that came with was actually decent as well. No issues here.
I ordered Eggplant Parm and my husband is a Chicken Parm fan.. For the money they charge for the entrees, $19 and $24 respectively, I would have hoped for more food. Italian food is all about portions, and of course flavor, but you won't get rave reviews from me unless you actually FEED ME... Casa di amore didn't do this well.
My husbands chicken came with a steak knife, which, most people eating chicken parm would need.. My dinner also came with a steak knife.. first thoughts were "Why the hell would I need a steak knife for eggplant? I should be able to eat this with just a fork, no problem." BOY WAS I WRONG. Holy crap I could barely cut with it the steak knife it was so hard. With the time it took for them to actually COOK the meal, it should have been mush on the plate. Definitely NOT impressed with this at all.
I'm starting to think that the reason why there are no good Italian places in Vegas is because all of the REAL Italians stayed in the Tri-State area.
