| - Deserves the Big "O" Award
I've found my new favorite restaurant to dine in when in Vegas! Loved the atmosphere- very casual with a splash of class with the outdoor dining. Went with a group of friends so I got to taste a bit of everything so here's my 2 cents: actually, I'm not gonna waste time talking about other dishes...
Cut to the chase- here's what to order: Fried Pizza Dough, Caprese Salad, Braised Pork Shoulder with Smashed Fried Potatoes and Sauteed Squash.
Pizza Dough: Curiously shaped these strips of fried dough have the perfect chewy texture and is topped with shaved cheese and pepper flakes. Simple yet addicting =)
Caprese Salad: Yummy tomato slices with this soft gooey mozzarella like cheese on top! It was so good I would play bloody knuckles for the last slice =)
Braised Pork Shoulder: Huge, thick piece of pork meat that's so tender and soft that is glazed with this delicious apple reduction and cucumber slices. Honestly, the pork was so good I didn't even realize there were cucumbers on that pig!
The sides were AMAZING: Fried Smashed Potatoes were something new that I'm a fan of....little red potatoes baked soft but the outside is lightly fried and crispy with this incredible salty slightly spicy kick! Zucchinis were sauteed in butter and garlic- enough said!
What NOT to order: Pizza (why waste $ on something you can everyday?!), Butternut Squash appetizer (tasted flowery), pasta margherita DOC (it was too salty).
My friend had a bite of my pork and said, "Ohhh, the chef made love to that dish!" and my reply was, "If that's the case this pork had some multiple O's!" Seriously guys, it was TOO GOOD!
*sigh* Now I'm sad....talking about this restaurant and being 3 hours away sucks.
If you're in Vegas please try San Marco out. The staff are wonderful and atmosphere is chill w/ lots of people watching.
I think I'm going to plan another Vegas trip- just to eat here again!
