For our last night in Vegas, we were looking to splurge a bit for our dinner out. I got super excited when I learned this is one of Scott Conant's restaurants because I love Italian food and I see him on Chopped all the time.
The restaurant is located on the third floor, just take the escalators up near Marquee and Chandelier. I made reservations using open table for 10 pm (a bit late, but we just got drinks in Chandelier beforehand) and were seated shortly after 10 at a table near the windows. We could see the Bellagio and the watershow - very nice view.
First off, the bread basket and the toppings for it were so good! A butter marscapone, eggplant, and olive oil were provided to go with the different breads. There was a sourdough and some other types, but my favorite was this bread with mozzarella baked into it. And, I don't even like eggplant, but my favorite bread topping was the eggplant - it was that yummy.
Based on other reviews and what sounded good to us, my friend and I ordered the polenta to start, which was split into two separate dishes for us. Amazingly tasty. I have to say I haven't had polenta before, but I figured this would be a good place to try it, and boy was that a good decision. It was just so creamy with a little bit of a gritty texture, but mmmmm. I don't know how else to describe it.
For my entree I had the tagliatelle with vegetables, guanciale, and truffle zabaglione - housemade pasta! Another very mmmmmm dish. My tastebuds were happy. And for dessert, I had the coconut panna cotta with guava "soup". Perfect end to the meal since it was lighter, fresher, and sweet.
All in all, I thought the food was great and I would consider coming back if I was splurging a bit. Only thing I didn't really care for was the bathroom. There was only one stall for women and it wasn't that great, and my friend said there was a line of about 6 women when she went. I would expect a nice restaurant to have a nicer bathroom.
