| - Ugh. As if i havent sung this place enough praises, here I am writing another review for it. So, second time in Vegas for 4th of july vaca. Brought a new group of girls to indulge with me and everything was just as delicious as I last left it. From the time they bring you the garlic bread and marinara, just lean back and unbuckle your belt/corsets to make room, cause everything is so effing delicious. Apparently I fell into a trance and started licking the sauce off the table with my fingers. Wow. Moving on, I had my chilean seabass with a side of mushrooms, it was perfection as usual. Others ordered a risotto, a seafood Alfredo, rave reviews on the texture and freshness for both, a marinara pizza, long classic flavorful, a lobster bisque, not my fave, they make theirs taste too gingery I find, but it does have big delish chunks of lobster. But let me bring it back because the MVP of our dinner was the calamari. Again, wow, simples done right, nice and crisp tight batter and the meaty perfectly sized hoops, again dunking into that heavenly marinara. Once again, I haven't made it as far as desert cause we're always so stuffed before entrees even come, portions are huge, plus the drinks are great, we always enjoy gummi bear shots, and sparkling selections. Ugh, just so much winning to do here. Service was kind and prompt as usual, last hear we had a really cool brunette guy who comped us some shots, this time we had a lady with a short blunt cut bob, she was very nice and cautious of bringing everything quickly for us, knowing that we had to go somewhere after, and she even comped a dish for a girl who felt the pasta in her alfredo was a little too hard, and brought out a recooked version out of courtesy. Thats good service in my book, treat your customers like you truly want them to enjoy their food and experience at all costs, and that keeps us coming back. Also, I have another Lavo location here in NY that I've dined at before to get a fix for my favorites, but its just nowhere near as delish. They cook with extra love at this Vegas location, totally worth flying out 5 hours for! Sidenote, I'm disappointed to see they closed their nightclub part. Had really good times there last year (retroactive shoutouts to the chocolate cutie who used to work there named Noah ;-) Now they just have a cocktail/hookah lounge, that was actually closed on the Sunday we went so place was pretty quiet and chill. Its all good, we had limos and bottles waiting elsewhere to turn up, this dinner was still worth all of our attention!
