702-221-8279 | | | | | Description: THE STRIP. This offshoot of the Fort Lauderdale mainstay prides itself on preparing Italian dishes in old-school style. That means, using fresh ingredients bought that day and making sauces a little at a time, as they're ordered. The difference shows in the place's long lines. And while the food is classic, the setting boasts large plasma-screen TVs and, later in the evening, owner Steve Martorano manning the DJ booth. The South Philly native even serves an authentic cheesesteak alongside items like veal picatta, lobster franchese, chicken cacciatore with sausage, and lots of perfectly cooked pastas.

702-891-7600 | | | | | Description: THE STRIP. The Vegas cousin of NYC's Fiamma wins big in Sin City. Unexpected ingredients, fresh handmade pastas, and innovative desserts breathe new life into classic Italian dishes. After being seated near the wooden, contour map-like curves of the Wave Wall, partake of a delicious antipasto; gamberoni rosemary-grilled prawns with charred tomato vinaigrette and calamari are two flavorful options. Move on to gnocchi in Maine lobster ragu or the simple but divine fresh-cut spaghetti with braised Kobe meatballs in pomodoro sauce. Dessert is mandatory; try crispy amaretti doughnuts with chocolate ganache, banana cream, and berry jam.

Another example of Vegas's penchant for having its own versions of some of America's best restaurants, this outpost of the East Harlem original keeps the same great food and adds in views of the resort's pool, not to mention a bocce court. Most folks choose to dine in one of the two rooms that recreate the NY location, soaking in the "authenticity." Wherever you dine, you'll be a fan of osso bucco with saffron risotto, double cut Colorado lamb chops, salt-encrusted whole Mediterranean sea bass (filleted tableside), and veal parmigiana. Lots of flavor-packed pastas also suit folks to a T.

| The Pasta Shop & Ristorante2495 E Tropicana Ave
Las Vegas,
NV
89121
702-451-1893 | | | | | Description: EAST LAS VEGAS. One of the East Side's most respected eateries, intimate Pasta Shop offers an almost small-town feel, thanks to cozily arranged tables, a friendly waitstaff, and a quiet setting that's distinctly not glitzy Las Vegas. For added charm, the owner routinely tours the dining area, hobnobbing with guests and livening up the place. Specialties include homemade pasta dishes, the best of which are topped with lobster and other shellfish. Best of all, prices won't blow a hole in your pocketbook, leaving you free to explore your casino dreams. Space is limited and tables tend to fill up quickly, especially at dinner.
