text: Love Love Love Mario Batalis Enoteca Italian restaurant in the shoppes area of Venetian Thought I would try this restaurant at the PalazzonnNice decor certainly fitting a steakhouse Prices are pretty standard to high compared to most premium steakhouses Wine by the bottle is psycho glasses start at eachnnStarters prosciutto sliced soooo thin you could see through it Served with tiny pieces of melon smaller than my little finger Nice presentation though and enough proscuitto One of the specials was lobster raviloi but they were sold out and substituted for braised short rib ravioli Excellent flavor served in a butter herb sauce ravs also around nnEntrees Osso bucco perfectly cooked topped with a little bit of gremelata and a small portion of risotto Could have made a meal on the risotto it was very al dente a little lemony and did not look like it was arborio rice either but it was good I think my osso bucco is better howevernnAnother entree was the simple oz petite filet cooked medium rare It was a very odd looking piece of meat When it came sitting in the middle of a huge white plate it did not even look real It had no aroma or evidence of being cooked as in just off the grill It was dull Cutting into it there was absolutely no juice Weird But still delicious and tender Cannot explain that Hmmmm for the filet for the osso bucco nnDidnt really get the connection off the menu to Mario Batalis great Italian works But if you go bring your credit card or lots of money Small portions big prices but still good Additionally your waiter will give you all the days additions to the menu which are numerous
