Headed to Vegas soon for a little fun, frivolity and food? We wanted to share our latest discovery of a great Italian restaurant in Las Vegas called Nove Italiano . Located at the top at Palms Casino Resortâs Fantasy Tower, you can preserve your wallet while indulging your taste buds with their new four-course pre-fixe menu for $45, created by Executive Chef Geno Bernardo. The bar  also features $7 Happy Hour specials Monday thru Friday.
Nove Italiano (pronounced no-vay) combines inspired design, superb Italian cuisine and unsurpassed energyânot to mention some of the cityâs most spectacular views. Recently named #1 Italian Restaurant in Las Vegas by Orbitz, Nove Italiano transforms perceptions of Italian dining just as N9NE Steakhouse, situated in the original Palms tower, revolutionized the American steakhouse. A prominent station in the dining room features a chef preparing Spaghetti Nove, decadent seafood pasta and a Nove Italiano signature dish. Created by Executive Chef Geno Bernardo, the menu offers a wide range of crudos (which means ârawâ in Italian, often ceviche or sashimi), thin-crust pizzas and a variety of steaks, such as bone-in filet, New York steak and rib eye.
Contemporary meets Classical
The restaurant is a unique blend of classical and modern elements, an intriguing combination that permeates both the dining room and the kitchen. A few steps from the hostess stand is a plush, seductive lounge and bar, which are complemented by chic bar stools and a wall of purple-tinted mirrors. Adjacent to the lounge is the main dining room, illuminated by dramatic LED Swarovski crystal chandeliers hanging from a multi-vaulted ceiling covered in high-gloss brass-and-steel mosaic. A private dining room is slightly elevated, but a mezzanine level provides the most dramatic views of the entire restaurant.
