| - Tried it for the first time with my bf due to the reviews here on Yelp. We originally planned on going to Kai, which was a Japanese restaurant right behind it, but we didn't make it in time for happy hour so he asked about that "bistro" I mentioned before. As we entered through the door we were welcomed by its cozy and quirky Italian ambiance. The wait staff consisted of father and son, and the mom was stationed at the cash register; which really gives off the "family-owned" feel of the place.
We were seated by the son. He even asked us if we preferred seating by the windows or not, which I thought was nice of him. For drinks I just went with water with lemon and bf ordered Pepsi. As we were looking through the menu, I noticed the selection was not HUGE like those chain restaurants; which I actually preferred. Quality over quantity any time :D I was actually having a difficult time making a decision when finally the father came to our table to inform us of the specials of the day. I heard "bow tie pasta with chicken, asparagus, and wild mushrooms in white wine sauce," that hit the spot right there. BF ordered the gnocchi lol. They offer a bread basket of four slices and butter. We poured olive oil on the side plate and dipped our bread to soak up all that oily, buttery goodness ;D
When our orders finally came, they were plated on square white plates with a garnish of some sprinkles of green and orange, no clue what they were but they gave that extra "umph!" in every bite. Man, whatever I ordered was the best pasta I've ever eaten here in Vegas. The first bite made me smile from ear to ear, and I'm pretty sure our waiter saw how happy I was with my food. Even the bf got giggly with how I was reacting to my food. His gnocchi was really tasty as well. I've had them before and the ones I've tried were heavy and cheesier, but these ones were light enough that you don't get too overwhelmed with the starch and cheese it's packing in small itty-bitty pieces. We usually put a small amount of our food in a separate plate and let each other taste the others order, and he finally understood why I was beaming with delight with my food. It looked like he just jizzed himself right there lol! He even asked for more from my plate XD
After we were both done with our food, the waiter took our plates and asked if we wanted to order dessert or a cappuccino. At that point we were both stuffed and satisfied with what we just ate, we both just said "we're good." We stayed a little longer and talked after eating, Which gave us the chance to actually look around the place. There were pictures and paintings of what seems like places in Italy. It's small and cozy, but not cramped or stuffy, which is good. We also noticed that most patrons of this place are older married couples, which made me and the bf feel a little out of place lol.
All in all we LOVED the food, cozy atmosphere, and the service. We already planned on bringing my mom with us next time :]
