| - I heard such rave reviews about B&B from my colleagues back when we came for CES. I decided that I should give the restaurant a try since we had been gambling at the Venetian. There was about a ten minute wait, so we decided to grab some drinks at the bar. At the bar, they have some fantastic, spicy breadsticks that you have to try if you end up going there. They have a nice kick.
We decided on the following dishes for dinner (I have attached pictures):
Pork trotter on top of greens- I wasn't sure what pork "trotter" was and I didn't want to find out. I was assuming it was feet but I was willing to give it a try. I really didn't like this dish. It was breaded on the outside and it seemed like it was filled with potatoes and pork fat. Bleh. Don't get this.
Spaghettini with Spicy Budding Chives, Sweet Garlic and One-Pound Lobster $31- For $31, I expected there to be a lot more lobster on the plate. Where did the one-pound go? The spaghettini was perfectly cooked al dente, but that's all I can say about it.
Homemade Orecchiette with Sweet Sausage and Rapini $23- This is the dish I ordered. Half of the table liked it, but I found it to be extremely salty and average.
Linguine with Clams, Pancetta and Hot Chiles $26- Average. This dish was salty too...guess they forgot that the pancetta would make it salty as well.
Grilled Pork Chop with Cipolline, Artichokes and Vin Cotto $34- The pork chop was very good, probably the best dish we ordered.
I really wanted to like this restaurant, but it didn't do anything for me. The prices were expensive and the portions were small. The taste was off in my opinion as well. There are much better choices for dinner in Vegas.
