After visiting Scarpetta in LA, I cannot wait to see what the Vegas one has to offer. They serve the same menu but the ambiance there is totally different. The Vegas one has a gorgeous view of Bellagio's fountain and the decor is more old, rustic and not as classy and glamorous as the LA one. The waiter here is very helpful and funny.
The food here is delicious:
+ Beef Tartare: Cooked with lime juice so quite sour but refreshing. Very different from traditional beef tartare.
+ Raw Yellowtail: It's okay. Pretty typical, but I'm surprise how non-fatty the fish taste considering hamachi is a fattier fish.
+ The spaghetti: good as always--al dente with a sauce that's sweet with a hint of tang.
+ Tagliatelle: A pasta with spring veggies. This tasted too green and peas-filled for me. The cream sauce also too thick.
+ Duck & Foie Gras Ravioli: This was delicious but the foie gras taste is very mild.
+ Mediterranean Branzino: The fish has a really, really nice sear on the outside and it was very soft and tasty.
Don't skip dessert! Dessert was phenomenal!
+ Strawberry Tart : The tart crust was amazing! It has that crunch and the cream was so light. The meringue that came with the dessert didn't taste like basil as described, but it was still really good.
+and the Nutella & Vanilla Creme Bomboloni: Reminds me of hot bigne with creamy nutty chocolate center! It's so good. And I have no idea how they caramelized a banana. It has the crunch and then creaminess of the fruit.
