| - Wow, the bf is right, I'm hooked on Grimaldi's! We went for dinner last night and everything was perfect, the food, weather, ambiance!
We ordered a small caesar salad to share, yes share, yes a small ($7). A perfect portion for two. The dressing was zesty, ample, and quite addicting. The croutons were fresh, large, and crispy (but not jaw breaking). The lettuce was fresh and green. The parmesan was good but the stuff that was factory shredded, not freshly shaved. I'm a sucker for freshly shaved parm, you know the stuff that resembles potato chips. Regardless, the bf will be picking up a random caesar salad after work for me to chow down on.
The pizza was quite delightful! Their crust is thin and flaky with very good flavor. Their sauce gets two thumbs up for not being overpowering or chunky, like some of these pizza joints tend to get a little over zealous about. And the cheese, oh the cheese...it's freshly made mozzarella! Each pizza gets thin slices of this freshly made mozzarella! Therefore, when your pizza is presented, it almost glows because the mozzarella is a beautifully brilliant white! Grimaldi's uses some delicious toppings too, if you so choose to garnish your pie. Instead of the traditional size pepperonis, they use miniature sized ones. I think it makes the pepperoni pie easier to eat, but that's just my opinion.
The ambiance of the Eastern Ave. Grimaldi's is quite charming, even for being in a strip mall. We here in Las Vegas are lucky to have such beautiful weather pretty much year round, therefore open air bistros like Grimaldi's are a gem on such gorgeous days/nights. The layout of the restaurant is well-thought out. Their bar is two-sided. One side being for the patio, and the other side for the indoor bistro--kind of ingenious! Let it be known, the bar does have draught beer on tap (Peroni, Blue Moon, Blue Moon Pumpkin, and a few others). The wine menu is geared more towards everyday wines (most bottles under $50). They have an assortment of reds, whites, blushes available by the glass and bottle. Liquorwise, they are limited to basics, Bombay Sapphire, Three Olives Vodka, 1800, J.W. Black Label, Jack, etc. So just remember when you order your cocktail, this is NOT an ultra lounge. So don't be a snob just because they may not carry your favorite liquor, suck it up and try something different!
I had a blast at Grimaldi's, not because of the bottle of Riesling or bottle of Pinot Noir, but because of being surrounded by good food, good ambiance, good service, and great company!
