"Meh. I've experienced better" is right.
Nothing personal Rao's, but being a huge fan of Italian food, you were not the best; you weren't even very close, and yes I've had Italian food all over LA, Vegas, and New York. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved the decor and feel of this place, but our server was a little on the pretentious side, as were his recommendations, and the restaurant's pricing. The price you pay for the quality you receive is pretty outrageous, even for Vegas.
Of all the items ordered, the only thing that truly stood out was the meatball everyone talks about. They can sure make a good meatball. But all the pasta dishes were average, the antipasti dish was just okay, and the wine list while decent in selection, was close to double and/or triple what we have paid at other Vegas restaurants, and in New York.
I really wanted to love you. But I'm sorry, my hear belongs to another Italian.
