Ok, let's get the one thing out of the way. It can be pricey, but that's what is expected with a well know chef and being on the strip. That said, there are some nice differences that make Giada rise to the top versus the rest!
First, the location is on the second floor of the new Cromwell casino an elegant boutique casino that sits in the corner of Flamingo and the strip. Well, if your looking for a good view point Giada is on that corner on the second floor!
Atmosphere starts from the escalator that moves you to the elegant reception area with comfortable seating area an then, yes my favorite a photo booth! We all hate the wait to be seated area where people stand and look at each other annoyingly until someone calls your mispronounced name within what is hopeful, an hr later. Well, this place is cool and using the photo booth with your friends and family while you wait is lot better and it's free!
Service starts immediately with eager receptionist waiting to attend to you. However, the popularity and packed reservation gives them the little shortness in their attitude. Too much to go on in the decor and the design but it's very nicely sat with feminine, clean, yet elegant but not too over the top. For me, I like the clean feeling as you walk in the dining area.
Food, let's just put a spot light on this right now! It's darn good! Best description is, simple, beautiful, and taste that will pleasantly surprise you. Never knew how wonderful a simple meat ball will taste or squash strings that you'll swear it's the best shoe string fries you ever had. Let's just say it's not your typical fill me up place littered on the strip to fulfill your hunger from night after drink binging. Plus, putting your famous name on something doesn't mean it's gonna be any good like manny celebrity filled over priced places on the strip. Yes, Giada puts her name on it but the significant difference is everything. Finally, she is there quite frequently to oversee every corner of the operations from the kitchen to her customers. Ya, she actually spends lots of time in the dining area and genuine like your the guest over her house.
Spent some time on this review for sure but it deserves the attention from my perspective..!
