Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Near the Strip

So happy we chose this spot for some good Mexican food. Everything was delicious & ambiance of the canals at the Venetian aren’t bad either. We had guacamole & chips, Paloma with Casamigos tequila, steak/chicken fajitas and carne asada tacos. Everything was amazing including our wonderful server!!!! Definitely recommend a visit when in La Vegas.

Our server, Amy, was cheerful, informative and very professional. Food, service and “vibe” was great for the holiday dinner out.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated and very much in theme with the rest of Vegas; a departure from your current reality to a place where everything feels more alive. The staff are all courteous and kind, helping you make decisions and find the meal you’ve been on a mission to find your whole life. Don’t hesitate, just order it. Share it with a friend or eat it all yourself. You can’t go wrong with any of the freshly made pastas, with sauces that make you want to take up cooking classes. Although I didn’t have the salt baked wild branzino, the table next to me did and it was all anyone around us could talk about. It looked incredible and judging by their reactions, it certainly was. I had the giant 16oz meatball, which is almost big enough to be a meal on its own. Softball sized and covered in fresh ricotta, I couldn’t help but devour the whole thing. My server suggested the bucatini carbonara to pair with the meatball and she nailed it. Tender, flavorful and the perfect portion size. I was eyeballing that 20 layer chocolate and peanut butter cake, but as able to somehow resist temptation. If LAVO isn’t on your list of places to try in Vegas, it needs to be.

Delicious food. Great service. Good wine list. Too bad the Venetian doesn’t have entertainment in St Marks square anymore

Unforgettable! The food. The ambiance. The staff. Excellent! We’ll be back.🙏🏻
