FrontRow....

I went to the original one in the Village (NYC) many times. My problem with Italian food in Vegas is that I have never had as good a meal as back East....NYC, Philly, Jersey, Staten Island....places that the "boys" run.

Il Mulino in CP is excellent....I would, however, say that the Osso Buco at Mimmo Ferraros is superior. I have not been to their new/expanded restaurant, I loved the old one...lots of "Sinatra charm" to it.

If you are a local and like superb pasta, then go to The Pasta Shop located in a rundown strip mall on the corner of Eastern and Tropicana. These guys made the pasta for the top Strip restaurants for years, then started a small restaurant. The dishes are decent, not great, but the pasta is the best in Vegas.

ive been to the il mulino in aspen, great food, outragoeusly priced.  probably similiar in vegas i wud think.

gravy is brown...i call it sauce

i call it macaroni though

Had a great steak at N9NE over at the palms on the July 4th long weekend. Enjoyed my meal there.

 

I have been there once and it was very good!! 

Just went to Strip Steak at Mandalay Bay.....Best single meal Ihave ever had in my life.

NJ....If your grandma was Sicilian, she clip you with the wooden spoon!!! LOL

Mickey.....Michael Mina has been up & down with that place....solid bar; but occassionally weak on the steak....Happy you had a good one

Want the best steaks in Vegas?.....Go to Branded Meats on Horizon Ridge, right near the corner of Arroyo Grande & Horizon. The owner, Gary, bought the meat for Steve Wynn's best steakhouses...first at The Mirage, then The Bellagio, then The Wynn....same distributor, exact same meats.....he cuts them himself and will give you advice on how to best grill them.

LAMB CHOPS - Vic & Anthonys~~~~~~~~~~~get ya some

Their American Kobe literally melts in your mouth.  Duck fat fries. Terrific wine list.  Nice vibe.  Excellent spot. 

And Red Square is just around the corner for before/after dinner drinks.   

The Best steak in town is the Double Eagle cut at Del Frisco's.

go to Nove . I dont eat steak but everyone that had one the night i was there said it was the best steak they ever had

i love il mulino, ate at the one here in dc and the one in the ritz carlton in puerto rico.  nc1capper, you should actually try the lamb chops there, they grill them right in front of you and they are awesome.  but for italian, im surprised no one has said anything about RAO'S which is in caesars also next to the pool.  ive been there at least 15 times since my uncle used to live in vegas.  trust me, give it a try and say hello to bubbles for me.  enjoy

btw, if you like veal, you have to have it at rao's.  best veal chop ive ever had and enough for 2 ppl.

Il Mulino in caesars

bronco.....The stuffed veal chop at Martorano's was sensational....best one that I've had since Rte 3 near The Meadowlands

Steves Sizzling?

I've been to several high end steak houses in my life (Smith & Wollenskys, Ruths Chris, Mortons, Gallaghers, Capital Grille).  I will have to say that Vic and Anthonys at the Golden Nugget was my best experience.  All the food, from the the appetizers to dessert, was amazing.  Service was great as well.  You can't go wrong with Vic and Anthonys.

The key to a great steakhouse is the quality of the meat, how it is prepared (no seasoning other than salt/pepper), and, sometimes..the sides.

I could give a rats ass about service when the meat sucks.....The Palms in NYC is a great example of superb meat and chaotic service....Peter Luger's..great meat, solid service....

In Vegas, Prime at Bellagio and SW at Wynn get the best meat available in this town....Read my earlier post....It's about WHERE the meat comes from (and preparation) that makes a great steakhouse....

I am going in October and will definitely try the Chops.  I would also recommend DELMONICO at the Venetian.  Had an excellent steak there my last trip to Vegas.
