    The bar, the only seating option with the 5-6pm happy hour menu, was about full when I was there about 5:30-6:30. Regular table seating was empty except for one or two couples that I could see. This is a modern, upscale restaurant that it would be difficult to identify as Italian other than by looking at the menu. Happy hour food prices are low to reasonable for the limited menu available at that time, but drink prices still pretty high even then. Regular menu prices are pretty steep. I had the Margherita pizza which I thought was good but not great. This was a fairly small oblong pizza, technically looking like a Pinsa Romano, heavy doughy bread, reasonably good tomato sauce with a little "Buffalo" mozzarella and fresh whole basil leaves added after baking. Service was very good, staff pleasant.

    Taylor was the best!!!!!! I was HANGRY and she flipped that! lol She was so knowledgeable of the menu! She paired us with the right wine and appetizer. Explained my meal very well. Her suggestions went beyond my expectations. I believe the Manager’s name is Rick, he was great as well. We got in right when they opened and he made sure we got our water to start, they work well as a team. Also hats off to the Chef that prepared me Sea Bream!!!! Coming from a picky chef, I have no complaints!!! When I’m back in Vegas I’ll be sure to come back. -Chef Dimples (Houston, TX)

    Amazing from beginning to end!! All of the staff greeted us upon our arrival. Service was top-notch! Ambience was classy and sensual. We ordered the tasting menu with wine pairings. The sommelier came to our table to explain each wine to us, and the food was absolutely amazing! Get the sea bream! Easy ride on the monorail from anywhere on the strip. 10/10!
