| - The boyfriend has been pining for this restaurant after hearing about their amazing spaghetti. Also, after finding out that the man behind the restaurant is a judge from The Food Network's Chopped, I was sold.
The food did not disappoint. We had the yellow tail as an appetizer, then the famed spaghetti and the sirloin. We decided we were going to share everything and the kitchen was actually nice enough to split each dish so that it was presented on two separate plates to us. Each plate looked exactly as it would if it were the full portion. To top that off, they didn't even charge a splitting fee like so many restaurants usually would! That is what I call spectacular service.
I'm a sucker for bread and their bread basket had me half full before we even ordered! The bread filled with salami and cheese was the favorite. It came with 3 dipping sauces, a marscapone cheese, tomato with eggplant, and a citrus oil. I thought the best combination was the citrus oil with the tomato and eggplant.
The yellow tail was fresh and had a nice chili kick to it. There were small chunks of rock salt that added a little crunch. It came with 4 slices of yellow tail, which was actually more than we expected.
The spaghetti lives up to its reputation. It was beautifully presented, swirled up into a pile and they uncover the plate right in front of you. The sauce is perfectly seasoned and the tomatoes still have a slight acidity. The pasta itself is cooked al dente and they're beautifully thick spaghetti noodles. I had to eat this one noodle at a time so I could make it last as long as possible.
The sirloin was cooked to our liking, but it was a bit chewy. We both loved the vegetables that came underneath it. There were carrots, mushrooms, potatoes, and probably some others and they were all so good!
At the last minute, we decided to get the amedei chocolate cake with the almond gelato and salted caramel sauce. The gelato was my favorite part of the plate, although it looked partly melted by the time it got to the table. The chocolate cake was like a lava cake, where the middle is still fudge like. It could have been warmer. I thought the plate could use more of the gelato and almond gelato to balance out how rich the chocolate is. Also, the bf ordered a coffee and it came with refills!
One complaint is that we were seated along the wine fridge and someone would come by every once in a while and just open it up behind us. Having the chilled refrigerator air interrupt a nice meal isn't the most fun. But if you are seated by the window, there is an amazing view of the Bellagio fountains.
For the price, it was actually a good amount of food and it is quality food. I really cannot wait for the spaghetti again. When I eat my jarred Preggo tomato sauce, I'll be fantasizing about the spaghetti here.
