Veal was awesome! I had the veal meatball and it was so tender. Despite the fact that it’s sad to eat, but it’s really good. Some say it was ‘different’, but it was quite moist. The polenta OMG the best thing ever! It was so creamy and it was just the best! The bread was quite tasty ~ yes it’s free and you can get more. Overall the prices weren’t that bad. The scene was nice and calm with lots of people around. They do have a huge wine selection, which is great! The cured meats, o dear it was delicious as well. I def suggest you trying that as well as their wine. The water, they have different kids, tap, sparkling, spring, etc. Comes in a cool bottle, sorry you can’t take it home, but it tastes really fresh like Voss water. I made reservations ahead of time, this place can definitely get paid because it’s by all the shopping stores, and it’s quite nice to look up to see the painted clouds. The prices aren’t that bad for the quality of food. It’s def a $$$, and some other $$$ places serves worse food, so for Italian, I would recomend this place. O yea, sit outside!

It was my 2nd time at Enoteca San Marco, now known as Otto. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as good as the first time. I was really hungry at the time and I decided to pig out on some pizza. Since I had a $ 10 coupon here that required a minimum order of 2 pizzas, I figured it would be a nice option for dinner. I decided on ordering the Prosciutto and Arugala Pizza($ 19) and the Roasted Pepper and House Sausage Pizza($ 20). I’ve seen pics of these two pizzas on Unilocal and wanted to give them a try. Sadly, my dinner was interrupted when I started to have a bloody nose shortly after they brought my pizzas to my table. One of them I noticed was the wrong pizza, instead of the Prosciutto and Arugala Pizza they gave me their Pancetta and Goat Cheese Pizza which I had before and wasn’t too thrilled about it. I scrambled to their washroom and spent about 15 mins in there waiting for the bleeding to stop. So the by the time I got back to my table, my pizzas were cold. I asked the waiter to make sure that I was given the right pizza and then he said that it was the Prosciutto and Arugala Pizza with Mozzarella Cheese. I took a bite into the pizza and it was definitely Goat Cheese. The waiter was totally off on that one. Then another waiter came up to me to check on me since I was having a bloody nose earlier. I then asked her about the pizza and then she assured me that it was the Pancetta and Goat Cheese pizza. I told her I was brought the wrong pizza so I had to wait another 15 mins to bring out the correct pizza. Which was fine since I already had the Roasted Pepper and House Sausage Pizza to work on( ). Despite being cold, the Roasted Pepper and House Sausage Pizza was still pretty good. I already knew the Sausage would be good as I had it on a pasta dish during my last visit. On a pizza it was just as good. It was definitely the better of the two pizzas. The Prosciutto and Arugala Pizza looked good when they finally brought it out( ), but it was really salty compared to the other pizza. Unfortunately, I wasn’t really blown away by both pizzas. Otto this time was a very awkward experience. I can’t blame them for the bloody nose, but the Pizza mix-up was inexcusable. This mistake however won’t prevent me from coming back here again. It’s still a nice restaurant. I think I’ll stick with their pastas or maybe a main entrée next time I visit.

Some friends of mine and I were in town for CES this year and one of the days we were wandering about trying to find some breakfast/lunch and picked a place in the Venetian. Well, when we finally found it, it turned out to be a juice bar for the spa(pretty deceptive Unilocal), and so we were forced to wander about aimlessly for a while to decide on something. Group decisions + empty tummies = lunch delays. Finally we came to the town square and were presented with a few different options. I quickly Unilocaled and came across the results of the options nearby and we chose Enoteca. It’s essentially a European style café with pseudo-outdoor seating(because we were actually inside, but it looked like outside on a patio). We were seated at a table and I ordered a Peroni(one of the two beers available there, the other being Stone IPA oddly enough) while my friends and wife looked through the wine list. The wines were pretty much all Italian and were available in 2, 4, and 8 oz pours. They had a wine tap machine so it’s easy for them to give you very accurate pours on the quick. Unfortunately, all of the prices were ridiculously high for the wines and they were all unknown to us(being Italian wines). Oh well. We each ordered something for lunch as well as a cheese plate appetizer. Here were the general thoughts: 4 cheese pizza — Tasty and more like an American pizza Saturday special pizza — Topped with large slices of prosciutto I believe. No tomato sauce. Lots of cheese. More like Italian pizza The pasta with green beans and potatoes in a pesto sauce — Actually really good, albeit somewhat small I know someone ordered some pasta with a red sauce of some sort and another pizza with a variety of meats and toppings was picked, too, but I don’t remember the details. Summary: The food is good but somewhat overpriced. The wines are ridiculously overpriced. The service is good and friendly. You can to watch the town square performers sing opera and walk on stilts from afar. The total for 7 people at lunch was $ 330 with a built in 20% gratuity(um, BS). None were super full or hungry when done. Quality and authenticity were strong though.

First time eating at a Mario Batali restaurant, and I was not disappointed. What made the dishes so great were the quality of the ingredients and the care and attention to perfectly seasoning each dish. All the dishes were simple and fresh. We got some Italian breadsticks to begin with, service was fast and helpful, and ambience wonderful since you’re sitting outside in the St. Mark’s square of the Venetian. Here’s what we got: 3 cheeses– Burrata, Mozzarella di Bufalo, Parmesana Reggiano– cheeses were good, not the best I’ve had but good enough. What made this appetizer amazing was the condiments that accompany the cheese and bread– 3 small dishes of black truffle honey(amazingggg), candied apricot(with chili flakes) and candied dark cherries(SO fresh, dark and sweet, it just popped and zinged in your mouth, like someone hand-picked and pitted cherries that are all the same size). Honey was really good with the burrata, cherries were good with the parmesan. Margherite pizza with tomato sauce, mozzarella and basil– I don’t know how they got the crust so crispy especially when served right out of the oven and onto a plate, but the crust stayed crispy throughout our entire meal, with a thin layer of flavorful, ripened tomato sauce and large chunks of melted fresh mozzarella cheese and a fresh, good-sized basil leaf to bring the flavors together so nicely. Rigatoni with pork belly and swiss chard– The rigatoni was perfectly al dente, soft with a nice chewy finish and the pork belly sauce was really good. It was shredded pork belly simmered in its own sauce with a nice blend of the chard. It was a tad bit salty but overall very good. Roasted cauliflower side dish– I love, love love roasted cauliflower so when I saw it on the menu, I had to get it! It was perfectly seasoned with the right amount of olive oil so it wasn’t swimming in it(which is normally what you get when you order roasted vegetables). You could taste the freshly cracked black pepper, and it was topped with freshly chopped basil and roasted hazelnuts, which gave the dish a nice crunchy, nutty flavor. Blueberry Coppette– Blueberry sorbetto, cinnamon gelato, oatmeal cookie crisp and sliced blueberries on top, all made in-house. I was impressed with how fresh, smooth and full of flavor the gelato/sorbetto was– not a single icy granule or dull bite! I can’t wait to go to Vegas again to order the same exact meal. I wouldn’t change anything I got except maybe to order more(the Rigatoni with roasted cauliflower on the table next to us looked amazing, and the guy eating it commented on how it must have been made with some expensive, extra gourmet cheese!). I think anything you get on the menu is going to be good. Go to the bathroom, they use an awesome-smelling soap that is made from used oil from their restaurants and a cool hand dryer.

Every time I visit Las Vegas I stay at the Venetian and every time I stay at The Venetian I eat at Enoteca San Marco. It is without a doubt my favorite restaurant in Sin City. I usually start with the soup, which of course varies by day but always tastes fabulous. For my main course I nearly always get the Quattro Formaggi Pizza. It’s a four cheese Margherita style pizza that will easily fill one person up. Our last time at Enoteca San Marco we enjoyed a bottle of 2008 Casmatta Toscana Indicazione. It was a rather inexpensive Chianti but paired extremely well with the pizza. Last but certainly not least is the fresh homemade Gelato. There are always standard flavors but each night there is also a «special choice flavor». One of my favorite aspects of eating at Enoteca San Marco is the atmosphere. The«open air» patio stays in a perpetual state of evening so even when I’ve dined there right before closing it still feels like it’s 5:00pm. During the day and early evening the small performance space next to the restaurant is alive with music, theater and sideshows. Speaking as someone who has been to Venice and loves Venice, this plaza is the closest thing I can find without getting to Italy. The Venetian really seems to go out of it’s way to make your experience a good one. Once I have finished eating at Enoteca San Marco, I am always pleased to find myself full and in the middle a wonderful shopping mall. The shopping area is quite expansive and allows me to «walk off the calories» I just enjoyed. Once again, if you are looking for a delicious dining experience in the heart of Las Vegas, Enoteca San Marco is the place to be!

We had a gift certificate for this place and figured we’d try it for my birthday dinner. Per the instructions on the gift certificate, we presented it to the hostess. Unfortunately, my birthday happened to fall on a holiday weekend, so she didn’t think they would be able to honor our gift certificate. However, she did go and ask, and came back with who I assume was the manager. She was very nice, asked if we were locals, and said while they don’t usually accept gift certificates on holidays, they would make an exception. The manager then promptly led us to a table in their wine cellar. Upon her complimenting me on my dress and inquiring as to our plans for the evening, my husband informed her that it was my birthday. The wine cellar is a much better dining option than the too-popular«patio»(which is basically just the part that overlooks the fake outside that is the inside of the Venetian). More secluded, more romantic, and just fancier. Our server was outstanding. Very polite, very knowledgeable, and very prompt. The pancetta and goat cheese pizza we ordered was insanely delicious. Hands-down one of the best pizzas I have ever had. I can’t remember which pasta dish it was that we ordered, but it was great. When I ordered gelato for dessert, it came served in a martini glass on a small plate, with«Happy Birthday» written in chocolate sauce on the plate. I was thoroughly impressed as the only person who was told it was my birthday was the manager. It was a nice touch. Overall, I was very happy with our dining experience and will be sure to be back. This is a great alternative to the fancier and pricier other Batali restaurants.

Enoteca has now changed its name to match Batali’s New York outpost of Otto.(Roughly) The same menu, same prices, but different name. Meat plate is still good, although I’ve moved on to other dishes. Enjoyed the Lentils again; I do love a good lentil dish! Sitting at the circular bar, we were able to watch the making of a Caprese Salad and HAD to have it! This isn’t an ordinary Caprese. Beautiful cherry tomatoes, sliced in half, with so much flavor and pop, tossed in an amazing pesto sauce, topped with a beautiful hunk of Burrata topped with coarse salt and pine nuts. So good!!! Shared the Lamb Cavatappi, which had so many layers. First there was a excellently prepared pasta; perfect al dente with great mouth feel. Then there was the hearty lamb ragu, no skimping here! And then, a hint of mint coming through. Although I was nearly full, I had to keep having more! Finished off the night with espresso(well-made) and the Peach Copetto. OMG, what? How did you make an oatmeal cookie gelato taste so amazing, especially with the fresh peach sorbetto, and perfectly ripe fresh peaches? Don’t care how you did it, just give me more!!! Always enjoy my time here and I’m sure I’ll be back =)

«Stupefacente!!! Me and my friends came here for dinner before the Mystere show. We were seated in the outdoor area where we enjoyed a beautiful, elegant dinner. Our server was exceptional to say the least and gave us explanation Italian version for everything we had questions about. His courteous manner were appreciated and we were left feeling like we had just been in Italy for the first time. The vibe here is romantic, rich in detail, and Italy inspired from the silverware, to the stemware, to the server’s knowledge. We each ordered something different and a cheese tasting plate to start. I had a fresh berry drink and white wine was served to my friends for dinner. Because the server did not come back to pour, he gave my friends the bottle for free. Manners are everything and never taken for granted. The food was ‘A’-mazing! Cooked to perfection and executed from plating to garnish. Your place mat is a kitschy symbolism of how to say Italian phrases with your hands. I thought this was very appropriate as it is a nice restaurant, but lightened it up with a little humor. Plus then me and all my friends were taking turns pretending to be The Godfather and our favorite impersonation of him. Wonderful little place here and magnificent service and food!

We visited Enoteca San Marco again this weekend and enjoyed another 3-hour foodie feast! We started with a glass of Prosecco, proscuitto di parma, lonza, and 3 cheeses accompanied by the apricots, honey with truffles, and liquid cherry gold. Love the blue cheese swirled in their brandied cherry juice — it’s a party in your mouth! I noticed another review was unhappy that her cheese did not include crackers or bread and she had to ask for it ½way through. It’s too bad about the confusion — the cheese plate does not come with crackers or bread, although the waiter will happily provide some if asked. The cheese is paired with three different sweet flavors — the cherries are very expensive and they provide one per person along with some of the awesome cherry juice. Amazing flavor! For our next course we tried the Bavette Cartierra — if you like simple foods made with the freshest ingredients, locavore style, then this is for you. Fresh cherry tomatoes from Molto Mario’s Farmer’s Market, cooked until they pop. The juice from these fresh tomatoes is what makes the sauce for this pasta dish along with thin slices of garlic. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. I should mention that Luke made a phenomenal wine suggestion: 2003 Nino Negri sfursat. We’ve been dying to try this grape — it’s made like an amarone but with the nebbiolo grape instead. Enjoying good wine is one of my most favorite things to do — and this was one of those eyes closed, savor the moments kind of wine. Thanks Luke! The wine paired beautifully with the braised pork shoulder with an apple reduction served with cucumbers. Cucumbers!!! Who would’ve thought, but they were a really nice accompaniment! We finished with two digestiv that were perfect and then the olive oil gelato. Mmmmm… There are a few reviews that were disappointed this wasn’t a fancier restaurant. An enoteca is a casual place — just as this is. There is seating inside, but the patio seating is fun and great for people watching. If you’re looking for good quality, fresh ingredients, then try it! This place is heaven in a fork!

This is the third Mario Batali restaurant I’ve tried in Vegas, and while I enjoyed my meal, it’s clearly the less expensive(and inferior) of his Vegas outposts. We were seated«outside» and I was amazed by how many groups of tourists(I’m talking about organized groups of 10+) were being herded in and stopping to take pictures of a fake sky. Service was incredibly slow. Breadsticks are pre-packaged in a red and white plastic bag and were quickly dropped off at the table. It’s really quite funny that they would serve that. I would expect that from a place like Olive Garden, but not here. Here’s what we ordered: — Caprese salad: just ok, but the pesto was tasty. — Pancetta and goat cheese pizza: good pizza. You can’t go wrong w/pancetta, goat cheese and carmelized onions. — Grilled hanger steak: decent cut of beef and a good-sized portion of food. — Braised pork shoulder: good flavors, nice combo of the pork and cucumbers, but the pork was a little on the fatty side. With the«outside» seating, street performers, people watching and the high noise level, it makes for a kid-friendly place to eat on the strip.

We had dinner«outside» under the painted clouds and it was really nice. The food was ok and the service was slow. We had 4 waiters stop by before we were told which one was our actual waiter. The service is very slow considering how many waiters are running around, but I am happy they were able to squeeze our party in under short notice. If my pasta wasn’t room temperature, I would have given 3 stars. No need to waste your money or time at this place.

Food 4 stars Service 2 stars Overall 3 stars We walked in around 3pm and were immediately seated. Our waiter was very prompt in providing us menus and taking our orders. We ordered a pizza and two desserts. That’s when our waiter disappeared. We probably waited 30 minutes to try to get someone’s attention to settle the check and pay our bill. Thank goodness we had no where important to rush to. The dessert here was good though. We had the strawberry yogurt and the chocolate almond cake and gelato. Both were yummie but I prefer the chocolate almond cake and gelato.

out of all the food network chefs, i wanted to try mario batali’s restaurant first from the las vegas area. and he did not disappoint us! wifey started off with a drink made from fresh strawberries and raspberries, a splash of sparkling water, and grappa. YUMMY!!! it was very refreshing and perfect for a lunchtime beverage. we started off by ordering a cheese platter consisting of 3 different types… instead of choosing, we asked our server to pick out her top 3. i have no clue what they’re called… but all 3 were awesome! we were also served focaccia bread with 3 sides… brandied cherries, truffled honey, and dried apricots with chile. the truffled honey was my absolute favorite! i wanted to order a carne platter also… but that would just be too much food for us… i couldn’t help but stare at the other tables around us that did order the variety of meats… and i loved how the workers in the middle of the restaurant were slicing cheeses and meats right in front of us. that definitely made it a very personalized experience! so we decided to order one pasta platter… and one meat platter. we ordered the veal bolognese which was the special of the day… and i’m such a sucker for meatballs… so we ordered the veal meatballs also. my goodness, the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente… olive garden, macaroni grill, and all those other chain pasta restaurants need to learn exactly what al dente is… mario’s definitely mastered the art of cooking the perfect pasta. the sauce that came along with it was perfect… light, simple, and flavorful… pretty dang close to what they serve in italy. the veal meatballs were the best meatballs i have ever had!!! they were moist, seasoned perfectly, and the duo of sauces on the plate complemented them perfectly. gosh. everything was so yummy. for dessert, we ordered the china ranch date… tempura dates, vanilla bean gelato, and local honey. i’ve never had fried dates before… and i was sooooo sad when we ran out! the gelato is made fresh at the restaurant… perfect consistency… the service was perfect. our server had personality, suave, and was definitely on top of things. kudos to her. i am now on a mission to try all of mario batali’s restaurants… he is truly… an iron chef! haha.

Iron Chef America(Food Network) is one of my favorite shows… I’ve been lucky to see some of them do some demos live(Chef Morimoto, Chef Symon, Chef Garces). I’ve also been lucky to have my first and second Iron Chef restaurant experience at Chef Garce’s Mercat a la Planxa( ). Amazing! Last day in Vegas, almost ready to head to the airport, my friends and I decided to have one last nice lunch. My friend was craving Italian so we went to the Venetian… after looking at several restaurant menus, she picked ENOTECA San Marco I immediately smiled, this is Iron Chef Batali’s restaurant — another for my «collection» :p We were seated almost immediately, love that it gives the illusion of outside seating, and you get to enjoy the hotel performances while there. You also have the option of seating at the«bar», which also gives you view to the performances. They start by bringing you some cracker/bread sticks & water. Then comes your server to get your drink order and let you know about the day’s specials. Wine list is extensive and some are even serve starting at 2oz in case you want to do a sampling… Then a bread basket is brought to the table, and let me tell you, you will have to apply a lot of self control to only have one. It’s warm, fool of flavor and it complements anything you order perfectly. We all ordered something different so we could try more things. I had the Gemelli and it was good, LOVED that it had spinach and broccoli mixed in with the pasta. But the best one I would have to say was the Penne alla Norma, if I’m ever back(and I wish I am) I’ll order this. Staff was very friendly, and very good at making suggestions. They made sure we had everything we needed and that we enjoyed our meal and time there. It’s a beautiful place to go have a nice, relaxing meal. Another great Iron Chef experience.

This was like a Lisa-Enoteca reunion night last night. When I came to LV to interview for a job, my dad and I went here for his birthday… then I took my brother here when I moved, then my parents when they visited. and then I took over a 2 year hiatus… it was good and then props to Kurt for my coupon, I made my reservation and my boyfriend and I had an instant date! We had so much food, and wayyyy too much fennel(but it was delicious) — my bf never had it before(sheltered?!) and we joked because they had candied fennel on the dessert menu. Our waiter was helpful. We had a bottle of Prosecco Flor, and 5 cheeses(I am now into burrata mmm) with the brandied cherries omg amazing… roasted beets, fennel salad with pomegranate seeds/orange segments/fronds, the fried anchovy-mozzarella sandwich, veal-ricotta meatballs… sooo much and sooo good! No room for dessert. Pricey but worth the treat after all this time(and the $ 25 off)! I would go back for a special occasion!

Returned to Enoteca on my most recent visit to Vegas and I have to say that they did not disappoint. Efficient and friendly service, consistently good food, pleasant atmosphere… We had eaten at Spago a couple of days earlier and by far, the pizza at Enoteca outshines Wolfgang Puck’s pizza… The pastas we ordered were all phenomenal. Bucatini all’amatriciana — the tomato sauce is so simple yet so flavorful and the pasta is perfectly al dente. my favorite was my friend’s roasted cauliflower ragu rigatoni with rosemary, red pepper flakes and romano cheese. So creamy and flavorful. I wish I could find the recipe even though I doubt I could ever replicate it. If you are eating at 1pm, you can watch the little show that gets put on in the square where there’s some singing, juggling and other acts. Kind of neat. My only complaint? They need to get new plates. They are VERY worn and scratched up and at first I thought my plate was dirty before realizing it was just really old and needs replacing… Not very pleasant. Maybe they’re going for the rustic look, but it’s not working — they just look like they’re being cheap and refusing to change out the plates.

Enoteca San Marco is set in St Mark’s Square, albeit a tiny and sad version. However, you’ve got to love the cheesy Caesar’s Palace imitation sky! We started with their selection of sliced meats. All of the classics were there and surprising really excellent quality. They went very well with a nicely priced Chianti. Unfortunately those were the stars of the show. We followed with two classic Italian pasta dishes. Cacio e Pepe and Bucatini Amatriciana. Both were mediocre and lacked the bold flavors that these dishes are typically known for. Maybe they were toning them down for their diverse clientele, unfortunately they missed the mark. Otherwise the service was good, except when he was talking and a bit of spit shot at me and hit me in the face! This was an accident, but what do you do? If you immediately swipe at your face he will know it touched down in an unfortunate spot. Do you leave it there until he walks away to avoid the awkward moment? So I froze. He quickly departed after that and I was clear to casually take care of the situation.

Mmmmm… this was the absolute best meal I had in my last trip to Vegas. My only disappointment was that I didn’t get to relax and eat more, because we were rushing to a show. When we arrived, the hostess was very accommodating when we told her that we had to be at a show in an hour. She sat us promptly and let the waiter know we had a time constraint. He immediately came to the table, took our drink order and informed us of how long dishes took once ordered so we could time our meal properly. For an appetizer, we ordered the Arancine(fried risotto balls) which were quite yummy. They were a bit salty, but nothing that a glass of wine couldn’t help. Then we had the three cheese sampler which came with these 3 fabulous sauces to taste the cheese with. Of the 3, the black truffle honey was by far our favorite. Mmmmmm… We decided to share an entrée, because we didn’t want to be overly full for our show. The Bucatini all’Amatriciana, which we later discovered is Mario’s signature dish, was deeeee-vine!!! Oh my, I could not get enough of it! Once I started eating, I quite frankly regretted having decided to share this dish. *sigh* This is a for sure stop on our next Vegas trip. Oh, on a side note, to my dismay I discovered later when we arrived at the LOVE show that we rushed for nothing! I had the wrong night, our show wasn’t until the next night!!!

I originally wanted to do brunch at Bouchon but they are closed on Mondays for brunch. BOO! We ended up wondering around for a while and ended up here.(Lots of the nicer restaurants are not open at 11am on Mondays.) Sitting«outside» in the Canal area at the Venetian is beautiful, the people watching and the performers are fun too. To start off they gave us this bread but it was burnt? The waiter tells us that«the crust is suppose to be that way.» hmmm? okay? I didn’t get it, it tasted like burnt bread to me. We ordered an Insalate– grilled radicchio with smoked mozzarella. This was good the cheese was baked on top with the crispy radicchio at the bottom. Yummy! As the main entrees we had the Gemelli — house sausage and broccoli rabe. I love the gemelli noodles they were cooked perfectly, texture was just right and they had a unique shape. The other dish was the Bavette Cacio e Pepe– black pepper and percorino. A very simple dish however, full a flavor you can really taste the noodles but it was a salty. The portions seem small when you look at them compared to how much pasta you get at other restaurants but, I was stuffed by the end of lunch. And you should be with a $ 50 lunch tab. I wonder how B&B would be???(A lot more expensive, I know that much) :P

Long overdue review. We went here 1.5 months ago. With a $ 25 certificate. I wanted to like this place. I really did. The wine was fantastic, the service was fabulous. Wish I could say the same about the food. They don’t seat people early. So we were seated a few minutes after 8. No problem, we were hanging out at the bar anyways. We were greeted with a smile and individually packed crunchy bread sticks. Awesome. We ordered a cheese plate with five varieties. It came with three dipping sauces. I prefer the cheese without the sauce. Maybe that’s just me. We’ve heard great things about the prosciutto balls. An order comes with six. It’s salty. Very salty. Didn’t go down well at all. Then we had the crispy duck. More like burnt, overcooked duck with no flavor except charred meat. And there was barely any meat. The goat cheese pizza did little to salvage the meal. But it was the better of the three dishes. Overall, I was thoroughly disappointed. How did Mario Batali become an Iron Chef if these are the products that his restaurant comes out with?
