My friend saw this place on the Food Network or something and suggested we check it out during our most recent trip to Las Vegas. I was down...being half Italian I'm always down for Italian food!!! One thing I don't like to do is make reservations for dinner while on vacation...I like to have my places picked out where I want to eat, but it's really hard to follow a set schedule/itinerary. Based on that I suggested we just go here early to eat dinner, around 5 after they open. That idea worked out great. We came in on a Monday night shortly after they opened and we were seated promptly - no problems there.
For starters you get a bread basket with a tomato flavored dip which was really good along with these huge cheese flavored crisps. The wine list wasn't the most expensive I've seen in Vegas, but wasn't the cheapest either. Our server was able to recommend a wine that paired great with the penne vodka I ordered. For starters we ordered the meatballs... pretty big in size, and reminded me a lot of the meatballs my Grandma used to make. My dinner was the Penne Vodka - and added sausage to it for the added protein as pasta alone won't fill me up. This wasn't your usual vodka sauce which is super creamy...it was much better than that. I was pleasantly filled at the end of my meal but left just enough room to share the angel food cake for dessert - sugar free, fat free, and gluten free so ... a little less guilt there!
This place was great all around...great food, atmosphere, and service. I highly recommend coming here for dinner!
