| - I always judge a restaurant by the amount of locals that eat there. On a Thursday in December (dead time in Vegas), this place was PACKED with locals.
I come to Vegas....a lot. I have eaten at high end places all over the strip and this one ranks as one of my favorites. It is CLASSIC (New York style) Italian food with an old-school ambiance. Believe it or not, but the list of people who have eaten here could top the who's who of any restaurant in the world.
The service is phenomenal. The owner(s) are there every night, keeping an eye on everything that happens in there. All the waiters work together, so there is constant coverage of tables. Seriously, top notch.
I had the avocado and heart of Palm salad. It is deconstructed and simple, but is pure deliciousness. I ordered the bolognese and my husband had the filet. Both are over the top. The portions are huge and everything is just REALLY GOOD. My husband couldn't decide between the cut of meat he wanted, so the wait brought out both cuts RAW so my husband could see the marbling. Seriously?!? What other restaurant does that?
If you are looking for a quiet, super gourmet restaurant to have inventive food, DON'T GO HERE. This is classic, throwback food, service and atmosphere. It doesn't get more Vegas than this.
