| - Went to Veranda with a great Black Friday Deal (50% off any reservation made on Black Friday for the month of Dec). Ordered more food than normal considering this deal. Veranda is out of the way, tucked away inside the Four Seasons Hotel at Mandalay Bay. This is a good restaurant, but one that may not be worth going out of your way for.
Highlights:
Desert was great! Best Cannolis I've had since Mike's Pastry and other spots in the North End of Boston. Comes with three cannolis (Chocolate, Nutella and Pistachio). Mini Eskimos were also good (chocolate ice cream pops)
Ordered (party of two):
Sicilian Meatballs (San Marzano Tomato Sauce, Pecorino)
Beet Carpaccio (Roasted Sugar Beets & Ricotta, Citrus Rainbow Carrots, Candied Hazelnuts, Passion Fruit Vinaigrette)
Tagliatelle ai Porcini - Hand Made Tagliatelle, Porcini Mushroom, Italian Sausage, Lemon Thyme, Castelmagno Cheese
Rigatoni Bolognese (Rigatoni with meat bolognese and parmesan foam)
Cannoli (Sicilian Pistachio, Nutella, Chocolate Chip)
Mini Eskimos (Sea Salt Caramel Ice Cream Bars, Roasted Nuts, Bittersweet Chocolate)
Overall: Good Italian restaurant, but with so many other great Italian options I would not recommend. Maybe for desert :)
