First, we were told about this restuarant by an Italian businessman here. His first words to my wife were- ""are you and your husband used to Italian food cooked by Italians? "" My wife replied that I was.\r
\r
We have eaten at this place since 2003 every year except 2007,as my wife had cancer last year. We ate here last Friday Sep 19, 2008, and; the food was every bit as good or better as I remembered it. I did notice that the Italians who normally bring out the oil and bread to dip the bread in were absent.\r
\r
The olive oil is awesome and tasty. I normally order linquine with mussels, shrimp. scallops, cooking in mussel/clam like juice, with a hint of fatback,/pork, chopped tomatoes, and very spicy seasoning. I love it.\r
\r
My wife prefers cheese and spinich stuffing in shells or in lasagna. She is always happy to eat there. The bread is good, but; I am no bread expert. I do know about olive oil, and; their oil suits my taste and my wife loves it. My wife loves their bread, too. \r
\r
I think service has a lot to due with what time of day one arrives. I had better service around 5-7 PM then 4 PM. To summarize, I would highly recommend this place to those who are used to Italian food the old way.
Pros: Best for the price of anywhere we know of in Las Vegas.
Cons: The service was slower this year
