| - This cute, little, Italian restaurant is on the corner of Harmon and The Strip (near Bubba Shrimp and below Twin Peaks). This is the full restaurant and bar that is next door to the quick service pizza parlor of the same name. It's a small space with a bar area, tables, and an outdoor patio. It's cutely decorated and has a nice ambiance and vibe to it.
We came here because we had a Groupon. It seemed like a good deal. However, as mentioned in previous reviews, it's deceptive. It's advertised as half-off and worth up to a $127 value. But there's not much on the menu that's more than $15-16. I noticed on the bottom of the menu that you can add meatballs, chicken, salmon, etc. to any entree, so I thought I'd add to the value by doing that. But to my surprise, when we got the check, we had to pay for that. Really lame.
The service was nice and friendly, and very attentive.
The food was all tasty, but none of it was exceptional. We started with the caprese and calamari. Both were 3 stars. Perfectly good, not awesome. We then had the bolognese and penne vodka (plus meatballs) for entrees. Both were also 3 stars. Very good, not awesome. For dessert, we had the tiramisu and cheesecake. 3.5 to 4 stars for those. The cheesecake was made with ricotta, which gave it a different flavor and made it unique.
All in all, we actually had a wonderful date here and we both agreed we would do it again. The tables each have crayons on them so you can draw on the white butcher paper over the tablecloths. And we totally had fun with that. And again, the service was great and the ambiance was nice. But the Groupon was not much of a savings or really worth it.
