The very first time I had a bad smelling ramen, the steaming broth smells like a dead pig. I still ate because I was hungry but as soon as I got a little bit of it, it wanted to come back out. It did not taste bad, just smells bad. Ewe, still grossing me out until now, will not come back.

I wish I could give 2.5 stars. Jim G. and I frequented this place when it was Enoteca San Marco. Even when we previously enjoyed this place, we recognized that this was a snacks, wine, dessert kind of place. We were never blown away by the dinner plates. Now, with the change, things seem to have gotten worse. We started with a salad we had loved before, the Buratta Pesto Caprese. The cheese is excellent, as are the pine nuts. The pesto was lacking and the tomatoes were stewed instead of fresh! What?!?! Weird. We also shared some Verdure: Olives (plentiful dish of olives), Lentils Alla Toscana (always solid), and Eggplant Caponata (decent). Our server had to use a rolodex looking device to explain the Caponata to us. She better have been new; she was slow, inattentive, and not too bright. We shared a pasta and a pizza. Both bleh! We had the Rigatoni with Pork Belly and Swiss Chard, and cheese. How is it possible that this dish has no flavor whatsoever?!?! One of the most boring dishes ever. What a waste! We also shared the Sausage and Peppers pizza. Terrible. It says Pizzeria in the name! Sausage was bland, pizza was apparently salt free, and the sauce was flavorless. Waste of time. I did not expect fine dining here, but damn, this was disappointing. Usually Batali places offer a minimum of quality. Otto is sad. Too pricey for such mediocre food and service.

Came here for lunch after a long night of partying. I'm a huge fan of French food, and had definitely been craving it ever since I arrived at PH and saw that the Paris was next door. Mon Ami Gabi definitely satisfied my craving! A friend and I split the steak classique (steak with butter), and the quiche Lorraine. So good!!! The steak was perfectly cooked medium rare, as requested. The quiche Lorraine was delicious, but I was so full by the time I got around to eating it that I only had a few bites; what I did eat was perfectly balanced. My friends seemed to enjoy their orders as well. I only wish that the restaurant served steak tartare... I would've been on that like white on rice! Side note, the bread is served warm and crusty, the way it should be. I wanted to eat the whole baguette myself, not to lie... but highly disappointing was the cold butter! Definitely worth coming here for a meal that is nice, but not too nice (I'm looking at you, 16-course tasting menu at JG), when you're in Vegas.

One of my favorite places to eat as a teenager in California! Man was I stoked to find one out here in Las Vegas. The food is just as I remembered! Great service, great food. You can't go wrong!
