Some friends of ours sat through a time-share presentation for free show tickets and dinner vouchers and gave us 2 free dinner vouchers for here. We walked up just after 4 pm on a saturday and asked if we could use the coupons for dinner at that time. The hostess/server said we could and sat us right away. She was polite and spoke with a beautiul Italian accent.
We were seated at a table for 2 right along the railing with people walking by in the Grand Canal Shoppes. While we enjoy people watching, it kind of backfired on us as we were trying to enjoy our meal and a group of people that appeared to be deciding on whether or not they should eat here, walked up and stopped for a minute to get a good look at what we were eating.
The free dinner was limited to certain selections but still some nice things to choose from. My wife had yellow squash soup as her appetizer with chicken marsala as her main course. I had the house salad and penne pomodoro for my main course. I know that's just pasta and tomato sauce but I had so much meat for breakfast that day I just wanted some good old fashioned carbs for dinner. Little did I know they would also bring us as much fresh bread and butter as we could eat.
We ordered a couple Peroni beers with our dinner and I found their beer prices to be better than most places on the strip.
She loved her soup and my salad was good and fresh but their house dressing was amazing. A sweet balsamic vinegarette. I should have asked if they sold it in a bottle. My wife said the chicken marsala was great and my pasta was a generous portion with fresh basil and chunks of tomato. A cup of good coffee was also included with the free meal.
I noticed on the receipt that the price of the meal would have been pretty reasonable if we did not have free meal coupons. Will stop back again and try the lasagna!
