This was by far our best meal in Vegas, after the O show. Great location with a view on the Bellagio fountains. Nice decor, great service. We went for the tasting menu with wine pairing. Food wise, the kitchen is absolutely irreproachable, everything was very well done and presented. Fish, sea food, lamb were all cooked perfectly. Now, this was not terribly inventive but it's pretty hard to offer inventive italian cuisine, this one was a couple of notches above the standard upscale italian place.\n\nI regretted to wine pairing option. For $45 it sounded attractive and I was interested in at least a couple of the wines paired so I decided to go for the easy way. Unfortunately the ros\u00e9 proposed with the pasta was sub-par and the Aglianico proposed with the lamb was substituted by a california cab (which was pretty good, mind you). Maitre d' (or head sommelier) took the time to explain me why the substitution was necessary (alledgedly too many flawed bottles in the case) but when I saw the cab's price I suspected the real reason could be related to non-vinous reasons.\n\nStill, all in all a great experience, even with the Las Vegas premium.
