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!

BRIO Tuscan Grille- Las Vegas,NV

This is our second time going to BRIO and, my parents and grandma all agree that it was much better this time.

My mom had the "Braised Beef and Cauliflower Puree" I had some of her's and it was SUPER yummy! The beef was full of flavor and the cauliflower puree was amazing! There were also carrots and mushrooms which I HATE but with the sauce, the carrots and mushrooms were really good!

This was my dad's dish he had the " Shrimp and Lobster Fettuccine" I also had some of his and it was really good when i asked dad for some he put a piece of lobster in the noodles and it was actually really good the noodles were soft and buttery. 

This was my grandma's dish it was the " Pan Seared Tilapia" There was orzo and different veggies under the fish I tried the orzo and it was like a pasta rice, it tasted like pasta and rice it was super yummy. I didn't try the fish because I don't really like it. But my grandma said it was fantastic!

Overall, the food was amazing and the waiters and waitresses were very nice whenever you see a waiter or waitress they almost always gave you a friendly smile.
