text: There is nothing better than trying out new authentic italian restaurants. I googled this place the other night, never heard of it and decided we'd try it out. As soon as I walked in, the feeling of a fine, classy, sophisticated, elegant italian place is the vibe you get. Not to mention, for its \"space\", it's adorable. Nice bar, live italian music playing and a good amount of well-dressed people have let me know this is a decent place.\nWe didn't have to wait very long which was nice. While we did wait, we were able to watch the cooks preparing authentic italian food. When we sat down everything was formal, almost as if we were on a  spot on the strip. Though the room started to remind me a little bit of an office building, the decor made up for it as the ceilings were decorated and the walls were dressed as if it may be your own grandmothers dining room. Cute. \nI enjoy when the servers are wearing vests because I know I will get the quality I want. But downfall was the server took a long time at first. The complimentary italian garlic bread is a bit buttery for my own diet but the fact it wasn't just a basket of butter packets and bread made this place a little different then the others & also, the fact that it had fresh, chopped garlic on it  as well made up for the too much butter .When we got our dishes the food was perfect and just enough. One of the dishes we ordered was the 'Alla Nora' and I'd recommend it if you like a robust meat sauce (bolognese)  with breaded eggplant - fried. Comes with spaghetti obviously. Not bad if this is one of their signature dishes -assuming.\nFor the lack of perfect service the girl made up for it by bringing us a complimentary dessert. Or was it because we told her it was our first time there? :) Either way, Tiramasu is definitely not my type of dessert but its the thought that counts.\nI'd recommend this restaurant for a special birthday or a romantic, quiet dinner. I would definitely come back to try out something different on the menu since I was satisfied with the other menu items. I'd recommend this place also with another couple or a date because it's definitely one of the more intimate places to go, even if it's just to have a glass of wine and listen to the live italian music.
