| - This restaurant is located in the central plaza of the Venetian, with "outdoor" and indoor seating, with nice views of the plaza and canal, and you get a "free" performance that happen frequently at the plaza.
Me and daughter decided that the menu looked interesting, and since the place was not full we got seated immediately. They put us in a small table for two on the right side, arguably one of the worst locations, although there were three empty tables facing the plaza. At first I didn't mind, but couples that arrived minutes after us got the plaza seats. Why do restaurants do that? Get in first (early) and be rewarded the worst tables in the house?
I ordered the Insalata Canaletto with grilled chicken ($18) and my daughter the Tagliatelli ($22). Both were good, but to spend that amount of money for two simple lunch dishes is a bit over the top, unless those dishes had some out-of-this-world tastes, condiments, spices, etc.
Service was good, but again, for the amount of money the service should have been royal. And we should have gotten some respect from the hostess, giving us a better table, since plenty were available.
I travel to Vegas 5 or 6 times a year, and have dinned at dozens of restaurants, from ultra upscale to the simplest downtown, thus I believe Canaletto can do a better job with food and service (and prices).
Anyway, the location is great, thus it is recommended.
Cheers!
