Dining in Vegas…

We all know Las Vegas as the destination for parties, drinks, gambling, and shows, but you’d really be missing out if you didn’t sample some of the brilliant food they offer! Vegas is truly a gold mine for cuisine from all over the world and I’m here for all of it! From elegant Michelin-starred meals to classic Italian fare, there is no limit to the great restaurants to choose from in this wild city, whatever your budget. Whether you need a fancy sit-down meal, a quick bite before you hit the strip, or a hearty breakfast to cure your hangover (remember, what happens in Vegas, STAYS in Vegas), Vegas is sure to have the delicious meal you’re looking for! I’m spotlighting Giada’s for this post, but stay tuned for later posts for more of my time in Las Vegas.

A Delicious Dinner at Giada’s!

Giada De Laurentiis’ Italian entrées with a California twist have been a favorite for years. Located inside the Cromwell Hotel, the restaurant offers a warm and inviting space with fantastic views of the strip. The atmosphere of the restaurant is upscale but still welcoming.

Our server was pleasant and gave us menu recommendations. He suggested the breadboard to start with and it was a great choice! The breadboard featured an assortment of freshly baked bread with various spreads, oils, and different types of butter. I don’t recall the names of the cocktails we ordered, but I do remember how delicious they were! For my entree, I selected Giada’s Signature Lemon Spaghetti. The dish features handmade spaghetti with shrimp, mascarpone cheese, lemon, and basil. It was EXCELLENT! I love all things lemon and the lemon flavor of this dish was just perfect. My husband chose the Rigatoni with a flavorful pork ragout and Tuscan kale, and he loved every bite!

Even though we were stuffed after such a great meal, we knew we couldn’t leave without sampling some of the gelatos we had heard so much about! We went with the Vanilla Mascarpone, Baileys Stracciatella, and Strawberry Limoncello (this one was a Sorbet). All three were simply delicious.

When in Vegas…

I would highly recommend Giada’s to anyone looking for an upscale dining experience on the Vegas Strip. Reservations are highly recommended and do be prepared to pay a $25.00 reservation fee (If you indeed keep the reservation, the $25.00 charge is deducted from your bill). Don’t be turned off by Giada’s being a “celebrity” restaurant, the food is top-notch as is the service.
