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.

The Habit Burger Grill, Las Vegas, NV

The Habit Burger Grill just opened at the corner of our street.  Saturday we ventured in to try this new place.  The restaurant was clean and smelled of grilled burgers and fries.  Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful.  

GRILLED CHEESE

Kid's meals are a must when taking the kids anywhere, more for Cristyana then Mikayla.  Cristyana said they could have given her more fries, but overall it was really good!  She even ate the burger gummy that comes as a treat.

CAESAR SALAD w/grilled albacore tuna

Chopped romaine tossed with our Caesar dressing, croutons and fresh Parmesan

This salad was really good, the salad was crispy and the caesar dressing was just right.  The tuna was amazing, if I hadn't ordered the tuna, I wouldn't have known it was fish. Overall the salad was great!  I will be having that again and again and again!

GRILLED CHICKEN CAESAR

Chopped romaine tossed with our Caesar dressing, croutons, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and topped with a grilled chicken breast

This is the same salad that I had except for it's with chicken instead of fish.  The chicken look most and seasoned right.  The salad portions are big and filling!

DOUBLE CHARBURGER

Mayonnaise, pickle, fresh tomato, lettuce and caramelized onions on a toasted bun

CHARBURGER

Mayonnaise, pickle, fresh tomato, lettuce and caramelized onions on a toasted bun

These burgers were juicy and seasoned properly.  On the double charburger we got lettuce, tomato and grilled onions.  All the flavors worked well together and left you wanting more.

Overall we will be making this a regular stop when we are out and about.  They have locations in California, Arizona, Utah, New Jersey, Florida, Idaho, Maryland, Virginia, Washington and Las Vegas!  If you come across this place, its a must stop!!

Flying Fish Cafe - Boardwalk, Disney World

Hello! Wow this has been a crazy, crazy month!!!

During this crazy month we went on vacation to Florida, we visited family and we visited DisneyWorld!! 

The next few posts will be from Walt DisneyWorld Florida!

The first night we were at Disney we went to dinner at the Flying Fish Cafe at the Boardwalk Hotel at DisneyWorld. Chris and I had been to this restaurant a few times the first time was on our honeymoon in 1999. Over this 16 years we have stopped in two to three times. This time we took our two daughters. The decor has changed over this time, but the one thing that has not changed is the freshness of the menu. The menu is printed every day so you may not always see the same entrees everyday!

This is the Chefs special Thunder from the sea. . . .Herbaceous Brioche Crusted Icelandic Cod. It was served with baby Asian greens, young turnips, snow peas, EPCOT land peppers, cultivated mushroom, smoked yellow tomato butter emulsion. It was full of flavor and moist! It tasted amazing!!!

This is the Grilled Sea Scallops! It was made with artichoke, taggiasca olive ratatouille, basil, pecorino and mascarpone risotto di carbaryl I and capers. This sea scallops were huge and cooked perfectly! The risotto was amazing and melted in your mouth.

This is the Char-crusted Angus New York Strip Steak! For being a seafood restaurant the steak was amazing! It cut with a butter knife and melted in your mouth! The flavors were amazing!

This was off the kids menu! It was called the Flying Fish Cafe Pizza-Bobs! They are cheesy pepperoni fritters and pizza dipping sauce! Cristyana loved them!

For dessert Cristyana had Mickey's Chocolate Puzzle! It's a white chocolate puzzle with sugar paints, and a creamy topped chocolate cupcake!

The final piece!!

Mikayla had the seasonal house made sorbets with fresh berries! She enjoyed it even though she was full!

I had the Sinful Nutty Chocolate Delice Creation. The cake was light and full of flavor! The raspberries were sweet! Of course chocolate is amazing with everything!

Chris had the Signature Flying Fish Cafe Caramelized Bananas Napoleon! There is a crisp phyllo, banana mousse, crime caramel, exotic fruits and bitter chocolate! This was amazing! Chris love this dessert!!

This was an amazing experience to be able to share at DisneyWorld! So if you are ever near the area this is a must try!!
