"Hey, we're in a recession folks...so while I would have loved to have eaten at a different celebrity restaurant each night of my Vegas stay, I decided to be a bit more frugal. My friend was craving pizza, so the nice lady at the front desk recommended Francesco's.\n\nThere was no wait, our server was efficient, and the food was good. I started with the caesar salad. The lettuce was crisp, and the croutons were crunchy and buttery (although there were only about 3 of them). The dressing was creamy and tastey, although it lacked that bite that anchovy paste would have lent it. I also was not offered fresh cracked pepper until I was halfway done with my salad.\n\nWe ordered a margerita pizza to share. The crust was undercooked and floppy, for lack of a better description. The sauce was WAY too salty, although it did have a nice garlic flavor. There was a nice helping of torn basil leaves sprinkled over top. \n\nThe bread was probably the best part of the meal; they give you a chunky tomato tapenade to spread over it, or a combination of olive oil and balsamic venegar to dip it in. They also provide a little cup of olives.\n\nThis is a nice place to stop in for a low-key meal. The three of us spent $20 each, including tip. I wouldn't come here though unless you're staying at TI and it's convenient; it's not a destination."^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ . "3"^^ . .
