Las Vegas is not a walking city. The hotels are far apart. The suburbs have strip malls. The heat in summer (and the cold in winter) makes much of the year unpleasant outdoors. But in the spring and fall we can have some absolutely gorgeous days. Last night was a beautiful warm spring evening. It was not windy and the clouds overhead were spectacular. This was the perfect time for dining al fresco and what better meal to have than something Italian. A friend of ours who works at UNLV suggested this new restaurant in Town Square. Although we have been to Town Square several times (and visit Fry's next door regularly), we had not tried this restaurant.\n\nWe were seated on the outdoor patio promptly and ordered the carpaccio which was recommended by our friend. I'm glad we did as it was delicious. I decided on the lobster risotto and my husband had the Veal Milanese both accompanied by a lovely Italian white wine. There was plenty of lobster and asparagus in my risotto. My husband's veal was tender with just enough capers and lemon butter to flavor it, but not to make it soggy. I am not much of a dessert person, so we skipped it. Sipping the last of our wine while the the sky grew dark was the perfect end to a beautiful day. We will be back.
