| - Disappointing to say the least. This is the second time we have been here and I was left not wanting to go back. The service was decent, but the food and the price were really surprising, and not the good kind. We started off with the calamari in the chili sauce, which I think there is a photo on yelp of this dish. The calamari was fresh and so tender, but because it was breaded and then drenched in a TON of sauce, it left it mushy and overwhelming, we couldn't even finish it. Why cover it so much sauce that you completely ruin the entirety of the dish? Usually, you would find this on a place that serves old or frozen calamari, which this doesn't seem to be the case so I just don't get it. It would have been much more enjoyable with a drizzle, or little side of sauce to spoon onto your dish.
Next the entree, I ordered veal parm, which was decent but nothing spectacular. The side of spaghetti I got was remarkable, I must say, it was some of the best spaghetti I have ever had but everything else was quite lack luster and mundane. Not something I would be willing to drop another $200 bucks on. Again, value for money and while I get this is Vegas, I think so many places in touristy spots don't need to count on repeat business that they don't really care if they gouge people because someone else will be checking into the Rio (where this place is located) the next day.
