A fabulous off the strip find. The descriptions of mobster hangout, old school italian, etc. are all accurate. We were here on a Sunday night and it was packed with locals. The gentleman who does the entertainment/singing/piano is quite a character, he has a lovely voice and we enjoyed his music and spirit. One of the highlights was him pulling his old friend, an actor/performer, on stage for an impromptu performance, very neat.
Our waiter, Tony (of course), truly made our evening; the wine recommendation from Cakebread Cellars was bang on - and because it was Sunday (& Mondays too) all wine bottles were 50% off, wow!
The lobster ravioli special was incredible as was the pomodoro fresco. The bruschetta was good, but we wouldn't order that one again. Desserts were excellent, made in house and imported from Italy.
The ambiance, entertainment, service, food and wine were fantastic; we thoroughly enjoyed this fun, cozy and romantic evening; for that, we thought the prices were reasonable. It cost us $24 for a cab from the strip to here, but they do offer a complimentary limousine that we may take advantage of next time - oh yes, there will definitely be a next time.
A nice break from the high priced, fake, stuffy places on the strip.
