Canaletto

Canaletto is located in the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian Hotel and Casino. They have private dining areas, along with patio dining in St. Mark Square. 
We enjoy Canaletto for their food and service. We usually go on our anniversary, and reserve the private dining room on the second floor overlooking St. Mark Square. This year we decided to reserve a table in the dining room. As always we had excellent service and the food was amazing! 

Their menu was cut down from their normal menu:



Always have to have wine when we go. They have an amazing selection of wines!


This visit we orders several dishes and shared it!
 OMG, the food was amazing!
Below is:
Prosciutto San Daniele: Sliced at the moment, served with housemade breadsticks, Cornichon and Grana Padano!
This dish was amazing! The prosciutto was soft, and flavorful!


Below is:
Calamaretti Fritti: Baby squid lightly floured & deep-fried; served with grilled polenta & spicy marinara sauce.
The calamari, was tender and light. The polenta was amazing paired with the calamari and the marinara sauce.



Below is:
Capricciosa Pizza: Imported ham, mushrooms, artichokes, mozzarella, kalamata olives, oregano & tomato sauce.

We had never ordered pizza here before, but we decided to try. It was great! We took home half of the pizza, because we had more food coming. I don't know what we were thinking, but the food is so good, we always want to try everything!


Below is:
Gamberoni alla Busara: Giant prawns sautéed with paprika, garlic, capers, marinara, brandy & cream; served with spaghetti tossed with garlic, extra-virgin olive oil & Calabrian peperoncino
There were four prawns,  so we each could have 2. They were amazing. The sauce had brandy in it, of course it was great! The noodles were done perfectly! This was amazing!



Next we moved on to dessert! Yes we are crazy!
Below is the dessert menu. They have amazing desserts, how could we choose?


Before we could decide, they brought over chocolate gelato for our anniversary!


So we decided to just order 2 Macciatos to go with our gelato.


This restaurant is fantastic, when we walk by our mouth waters, because we know how amazing the food is. 
Even with the restaurant slow, they didn't overwhelm us and we could enjoy the food, and atmosphere! 
If you are looking for a place for a celebration or just for good food you need to try Canaletto, you won't  be disappointed.

Sixth and Mill Ristorante


Hello everyone! Vegas Family Foodies are back! A few weeks ago Chris and I spent the day at the Venetian Hotel and Casino, and we ventured into the Grand Canal Shops for something to eat. We came across Sixth and Mill Ristorante in the back of St. Marks Square. Of course due to Covid-19 there were not many people in the restaurant, so we decided to give it a try.

Here's a peek at their menu:



We sat at the bar, and talked with the bartender while we reviewed the menu.

Of course we had to have a drink with our meal:


We started with the Calamaretti which is a lightly battered squid with lemon aioli sauce. The calamari was amazing. The batter was indeed light, so you could taste the flavor of the calamari with the different dips. The lemon aioli had a nice blend of lemon and garlic, and gave the calamari a wonderful flavor. See it pictured below:


We shared a pizza for our main dish and good thing we did. Their pizzas are just the right size if you don't start with an appetizer. We shared the pizza, and still brought home two slices. We ordered the Capricciosa which has mushrooms, ham, olives, artichoke hearts and stracciatella. This pizza was amazing, it was light and full of flavor! Every bite had all of these flavors mixed together. It was one of the best pizzas that we had, had in a long time.
See it pictured below:


Unfortunately we didn't make it for dessert because we had somewhere to be, but we look forward to trying desserts the next time we go!

If you are in the mood for great Italian food and are in the area, stop by and try Sixth and Mill Ristorante in the Venetian Hotel and Casino, located in St. Mark Square in the Grand Canal Shops. You won't regret it!

Yard House - Town Square, Las Vegas, NV

Yard House at Town Square

We went to Yard House for dinner the other night and sat out on the patio.  It was nice to sit in the open air and watch people walk by.  

Mikayla ordered chicken strips and fries.  The chicken was fried and cooked perfectly!  The breading was seasoned well and fried perfectly.  

I ordered the Ahi Crunchy Salad, seared rare, field greens, asian slaw, crispy wontons, and a soy vinaigrette!  Oh and did I mention it was only 600 calories and I had enough for lunch the next day! 


Chris judges a restaurant on how well they can cook a burger!  So he got a burger and fries. He ordered the Classic Cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, red onion, garlic aioli, and american cheese.   The burger was cooked perfectly and juicy.  It was seasoned well and tasted yummy!



This was a great meal and we will be back sometime soon!  If you have not been to Yard House, you need to visit the closest to you.  They have a huge menu and many different options!
They have great Happy Hour specials that you should check out!

Broadway Burger Bar and Grill - Las Vegas


Broadway Burger Bar and Grill is located in New York New York Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip!  It is located in their food court area.  Their open floor plan makes you feel like you are eating on the patio.  The service was amazing, the hostess and the wait staff made everyone feel welcome.  


I had this ahi salad with a wasabi vinaigrette dressing.  The ahi was firm but soft and seasoned well.  The portion was just enough that you were full, but not stuffed.  



Chris had the English Pub Burger.  It was a hamburger with a friend egg with swiss cheese.  The burger was perfectly cooking and seasoned to perfection!  The french fries came in this cute little basket.



Mikayla had this Philly Cheesesteak Burger.  If you love BEEF, you will love this burger.  This burger had shaved rib eye steak on top of this burger with cheese.  It usually comes with peppers and onions (which of course Mikayla had them take off).  It also comes with that cute little basket of french fries.



Cristyana still orders off the kids menu.  On the kids menu they offered a Hamburger with or without cheese, macaroni and cheese, or chicken strips.  Cristyana ordered a cheese burger and fries.  Her burger was well done, and a little char on it, but surprisingly it was still moist.  Of course she only ate a bite here and there, but all the fries seemed to disappear.

We didn't order dessert because we were all really full, we even took home half of each burger.  The portions are worth the price of the burger!  They advertise happy hour Monday-Thursday starting at 3pm with $5 appetizers and beer.

Broadway Burger Bar and Grill has another location in Atlantic City!

Is this somewhere we would go again?  YES it is!
Is this somewhere we would recommend?  YES it is!
