Excellent food, ambiance, and service!!! We didn't have a reservation nor had any expectations, we were here to see the Penn and Teller show at 9 am and want to good eats nearby....also to celebrate a friends 60th birthday that evening. We thought we give Cafe Martorano a try...glad we did. The food was delicious and the service was even better. We each ordered from the prix fixe menu which include a started, main and dessert. Also order a bottle of red wine and two expresso....all for about $200.00!! That is considered a good deal since food on the main strip can run you more than $75 for fine dining.
Food: Ordered their Meatballs, they're suppose to be famous for them (pic). The calamari with the peppers was delicious (pic), I would go back just for this dish alone! We brought in our own cake and the server presented with our cannoli. Made the evening even more special for my friend. Regular menu items are reasonable as well (well reasonable for Vegas anyway!)
Ambiance: White table cloth with five star service, but you can also come in casual as we seen people in flip flop and shorts. You get the same service. Overlooking the pool, open kitchen. Unexpected: The "Godfather" was playing on three screen (or maybe more) in the restaurant, which was a little odd, but other than that it was fine as watching a younger Pacino and De Niro was an added bonus to the evening.
NOTE: The server said we could use our receipt to get into the Voodoo Rooftop Nightclub.
