text: My first trip Located on second floor of the Cromwell nnTips This place takes reservations Most dinner times of are a two month out for a reservation Lunch recently began to be served Lunch dress code is relaxed and dinner is business casual Dress code is enforcednnExperience At arrival we are greeted immediately at the base of stairs to confirm our lunch reservation Also confirmed and greeted at the front desk She kindly informs us to wait a few moments to try the photo booth to the left and are escorted to our tablesnnOur server Anthony arrived in a timely manner to introduce himself and his help He was kindly insured we placed a drink order We were unsure on what to order and he described some of his favorite beverage choices Giadas Sangria with Brachetto and Fortunella with Don Julio were the drinks we ordered Anthony kindly informed us that restaurant was out of Don Juilo and was substituting with Patron Rare to find a restaurant out of beverage Without Don Julio I went with my second choice Barbarella with Tanqueray Ten Waiter respected and agreed with my opinion and affirmed the second choice was his favorite drink nnDrinks were served and food order was taken without delay Both drinks I would describe as a good balance with alcohol and freshly matched ingredients Sangria was crisp and savory Barbarella similar to a Moscow Mule was harmony of gin ginger beer fresh lemon and basil Drinks ordered were refreshing for the hot temperatures outside of the restaurant Alcohol was not over powering either nnAnthony made suggestions for the meal We followed some suggestions and ordered others We ordered appetizers from the antipasti meat and cheese including Chicken Marsala Meatballs and Pecorino Tartufo with Apricot Preserves served with fresh made flat bread and dipping sauce Dipping sauce similar to that of a pesto Yum Pairing flat bread with pecorino and apricot spread just magnificent The components of pecorino worked well on its own and together Harmony nnMeatballs paired with vine roasted tomatoes in a savory Marsala Tender soft meatballs Sauce was flavorful and one of the best I had Tomatoes lightly toasted to maintain it is integrity As a whole this was a nice antipasti Pieces were good on its own but in my opinion lacked a little cohesion for the appetizer This item is on their dinner menu and I would still order it nnWe ordered from the sandwiches from servers suggestions Muffuletta sandwich with mortadella finocchoina porchetta prosciutto cotto and aged provolone Similar to an Italian salumi trio was bursting with spice and fair amount of provolone on a fresh rustic bread Prepared warm from the grill this is what a sandwich should be This sandwich pays true homage to the influences of Giadas family into the restaurant Sandwich is served with choice of arugula salad or zucchini scapecce Arugula salad was elected to pair with this Lightly dressed and topped with parmesan that hit an accord with the sandwich I could not complain if this was the only thing I ordered Between the muffuletta sandwich and arugula salad I think I could eat all day without feeling guiltynnOther sandwich was the Lobster Roll with lemon basil aioli and fried capers The roll was by far one of the best deals on the menu Ten ounces of lobster piled on a roll with the citrus aioli was succulent creamy savory and sweet Nothing over powering just right and not too aromatic with the lobster and citrus Paired this with the zucchini scapecce like a zucchini onion strings Not greasy but crispy enough with flavor to enjoy on it is own or pair with the lobster roll Lightness of the zucchini paired nicely to the sandwich Both light sides were good pairings nnOverall the appetizers sandwiches sides and drinks were great Service was outstanding Restaurant as a whole was refreshing exceeded the expectations and hype The restaurant reflects the pride tradition which tributes to Giadas family and California influences I would make sure I had a reservation the next time I am out to Las Vegas A must try if you like food nnServer was very personal and knowledgeable of menu Server was efficient friendly and well articulated It showed with suggestions We enjoyed the meal from some suggestions he made and our own selections Serve wait and host staff worked well like a oiled machine or an orchestra on keynnOverall four stars for exceptions from a slight delay on the check to get to us a little pricy and no clue what lunch was because lunch menu just started serving lunch was not available until we ate there Five stars on food service and drinks nnWe had plenty on our list of things to do for this Vegas trip and this is a definite return place for us
