text: I will start out with the disclaimer that I lived in Italy for glorious months and consequently I am a total Italian food snob I found out about this place from a friend and I was especially pleased to find them on restaurantcom So my husband and I printed our gift certificate and headed out on a Friday night I started the meal with the best cosmo I have ever had it was definitely strong but I did not taste any alcohol The bartender is masterful I then moved on to the bread basket on the table The regular bread was delicious and warm There was also an herb almost pizza looking bread that I was not very fond of but I am sure somebody enjoys it I did notice that other tables were getting bruschetta as well as bread but I got the feeling they were regulars but it made me feel left out We moved on to appetizers I had the caprese salad which has roasted peppers and onions on it I was surprised how well the whole thing worked given its nontraditional nature I would definitely recommend it For the main courses I had the papardelle with filet and my husband had the trout special The pasta was delightful and the filet was melt in your mouth delicious but the dish was missing something It was earthy and rustic but there was a flavor profile missing for sure The trout was well cooked but the skin of the fish was not at all crispy and we felt it should have been It came with a side of pasta that was delicious Since we had the restaurantcom coupon we decided to go all out and get a dessert We decided to go out on a limb and try the Sicilian cannoli The cannoli was almost inedible It has an overwhelming lemon flavor and is just very offputting texturally nnThe service was wonderful until the end of the meal The restaurant had filled up very fast and people were asking to be seated in our servers section The poor man was running from table to table It took us over minutes to get someone to swipe our credit card so we could leave but other than that small ordeal the service was impeccable Overall it was a mixed bag for us I have had better Italian food in Las Vegas but I may give this another try sometime in the future
