Meal #5 of 2017 Las Vegas Trip
I have been to the Grimaldi's in Brooklyn and love it, and was pleasantly surprised when I went to this location at The Palazzo. I was worried it would be food court garbage like (I assume) Di Fara's (at Caesars Palace) is. Pretty much the opposite of food court garbage, this place is sit down and actually has a nicer ambiance than the original, though I still missed the original Grimaldi's collection of signed photos of dubious "celebrities" over the years.
Also, just like our trip to the Brooklyn mothership, my daughter was a big cranky pants and wanted to go to the bathroom just as the pizza arrived.
Skip the trio of bruschettas. They were really in need of olive oil, a spread, or some kind of sauce because they were so dry the ingredients just fell off. The mushrooms with garlic had way too much raw garlic. The artichokes were okay as were the tomatoes with parmesan. All I could think of was the bruschetta I make is better.
The pizza was the star of the show. It was Uh. Maze. Ing. They use fresh mozz, and the tomato sauce is nicely sweet.
