| - Hey, we're in a recession folks...so while I would have loved to have eaten at a different celebrity restaurant each night of my Vegas stay, I decided to be a bit more frugal. My friend was craving pizza, so the nice lady at the front desk recommended Francesco's.
There was no wait, our server was efficient, and the food was good. I started with the caesar salad. The lettuce was crisp, and the croutons were crunchy and buttery (although there were only about 3 of them). The dressing was creamy and tastey, although it lacked that bite that anchovy paste would have lent it. I also was not offered fresh cracked pepper until I was halfway done with my salad.
We ordered a margerita pizza to share. The crust was undercooked and floppy, for lack of a better description. The sauce was WAY too salty, although it did have a nice garlic flavor. There was a nice helping of torn basil leaves sprinkled over top.
The bread was probably the best part of the meal; they give you a chunky tomato tapenade to spread over it, or a combination of olive oil and balsamic venegar to dip it in. They also provide a little cup of olives.
This is a nice place to stop in for a low-key meal. The three of us spent $20 each, including tip. I wouldn't come here though unless you're staying at TI and it's convenient; it's not a destination.
