| - This is as good as it gets for Italian food in the Las Vegas valley people. I've searched high and low for all around good, authentic Italian dishes and desserts and this is it! On Friday and Saturday nights this place is jammin', don't get offended if you have to wait a bit, I promise you it's worth the wait. They don't have a lot of tables and people know this is the real deal so they come a flockin'. If it's your first time dining at this little Italian joint you may want to try to come during the week or for lunch. P.S. they are closed on Sundays.
When you first walk in your mind is instantly filled with naughty thoughts as your eyes scan over the case filled with homemade desserts and treats. Should you indulge and eat dessert before dinner? I'll leave that up to you.
My personal favorite item on the menu is their chicken parmesan. The chicken is always moist, the noodles al dente and I could go on for days about their scratch-made tomato sauce. Speaking of scratch-made....everything on the menu is homemade except the noodles. The pizza crust, the pasta sauce, down to every single cannoli. Even though there are signs posted reminding you of this, please remember that the food may take a little longer to come out because of all the love they put into each and every dish. It's nbd anyways because they provide you with complementary garlic knots that will make you swoon and will hold you over. Oh and you have to try their pizza. It's made with whole milk mozzarella not some crappy, cheap part-skim mozzarella. The cheese is so smooth, buttery and creamy it's amazing. You'll instantly fall in love (your thighs will get over this love connection later).
I hope you get the pleasure of having Amy as your server, she's the greatest. You might also see Steve, the owner, pop his head out of the kitchen so make sure you say hi :) The family feel and approach here is amazing and not found a lot of places anymore. My family and I will come again and again. Mangia!
