    I like Ferraros .....italian, if you order meat dishes it will set you back 200 for 2 with some wine. Good atmosphere, well presented, great veal, . I dont drink but they seem to have a well stocked wine vault.

    Based on your past postings, you might not like this place though

    I knew it. Larry is a wino. The only thing that scares a wino is running out of wine.

    "I had a friend back in college that was an alcoholic" larry says as he takes another slug of wine. "He drank himself to death" larry says as he uncorks another bottle of wine. "I tried to warn him" larry says as he pours another glass of wine. "I don't drink" larry says as he takes another slug of wine. "I try to help people" larry says as he swallows another glass of wine.

    Inferring I have a drinking problem would be equivalent to me calling you a well balanced sober gentleman.It just doesnt stick based on evidence and reality.

    But carry on, I was just contributing to this thread with real info, while you are merely acting the fool

    I wont be baited.

    better you get banned than me

    Won't be baited, hell. You took the bait hook, line, and sinker. Your whole post here is a troll. That's funny. Even when you say you are not trolling....you are trolling.

    We also enjoy Ferraros, which is in that little strip mall right across from Hard Rock casino. And we like Panevino, on Sunset Road across from the airport.

    Heard that name Ferraros before but never went there. I do know many speak of numerous places especially out on the west end of the city, i might check ferraros out next trip.

    For a quick breakfast, we like Einstein Bagels, 360 E. Tropicana.

    Excellent bagel, egg and bacon breakfast sandwich.

    I dont consider del taco, In and Out, McDonalds, Bagel shops, to be restaurants . Technically, I guess any place that has a single table or counter can be loosely called a restaurant. If that was the case there are tons of pizzerias that i grew up with that had 2 tables and a counter could call themselves restaurants.

    When someone is going to a England, Italy, France, Las Vegas, and asks for a restaurant recommendation I doubt they are looking for a 69 cent taco or low quality chopped meat patty on a bun that they can get at home.

    However for the people who eat to live.....rather than live to eat. just go to a local supermarket, and buy a 12 pack of ramen noddles and use the water heated in the coffee in your room or buy cans of meat ravioli and eat them cold. The meat would probably be of equal quality as u would get in a del taco product or hamburgers at fast food places.

    Nothing wrong with the fast food chains when I am home though...I recently fell in live wirh Jersey Mikes subs......

    Hello mr baccarat;
    I very much like the del Taco and the in and out burger.

    If you go to In n Out, try driving to the one on Sahara. Much better experience than the jammed on near Trop or the touristy one at The Linq.

    Regarding breakfast, I like Egg and I, also on Sahara. It's a locals place, fairly cheap prices, and food is very good. Only knock on it is that the service is so-so, and the kitchen is hit-and-miss with accuracy. Still like them best for breakfast.

    I think they're open til like 2:30pm.

    The father of the owner played 100-200 limit holdem with me once at Bellagio. When I put a bad beat on him, he was very angry about it -- like far more angry than you'd expect someone taking a bad beat at limit holdem would be.

    How did he react to the bad beat?

    Swear, yell, pout?

    If you like Greek food, you have to go to the Meraki Grill on Rainbow near Tropicana. Tremendous value and awesome food. Off hours might be best as it gets crowded.
    Capo's on Sahara is always a fun experience if you like Italian food. Another great value.

    I like del Taco and In n out as well, but the question was “best off strip restaurant.”

    I vote Marche Bacchus which is near/somewhat northeast of Summerlin. I met the owner at the bar in Le Cirque several years ago and have now been out there a few times. Excellent place at maybe 1/2 what you would pay on the Strip.

    I ate at HHaGG once: never again.

    Ordered their hash: very stringy meat; a piece got wedged inside my throat, choking me.

    Bah.

    I've gone to the Cracked Egg for breakfast in Summerlin. Great omelets at low prices. Clean and comfortable.

    A friend took me to Nora's an Italian restaurant on Flamingo several miles west of the Strip. There are locals who rave about the place. But I wasn't impressed with the taste of my veal parmigiana though the portion was large. Service was excellent. I did love their Italian cheesecake but I'm not sure I'd return. Very busy and popular bar.

    I’ve eaten at Nora’s many times and I agree the food quality is average at best. When I first started eating there around 2003, it was much better.

    My favorite Italian restaurant far and away is Mastrioni’s. It’s family owned. Located on the cusp of Summerlin on Hualapai just south of Desert Inn.

    My dad and I have eaten there at lest once a month for the last 3 years. Funny enough, his favorite dish is their Veal Parm. He tends to stick to that since he enjoys it so much.

    I’ve tried everything on the menu from veal to their shrimp parm, lobster ravioli and sea bass. Their seafood in general is always fresh.

    During the week you can usually walk in but would def recommend reservations on the weekend.

    I know it’s barely off the strip but what are people’s opinion of Golden Steer?

    Best prime rib I have consistently had in Vegas.

    It’s also the oldest steakhouse still in existence in Vegas.

    The place is over rated and surviving on its past reputation. The meat quality is USDA Choice at best, most likely Select, with absolutely no aging. I have had a medium rare ribeye served extra well. Thing was like a piece of shoe leather. Had to send that back and I hate to do that. Those kind of mistakes are rarely made in an Outback.
    The servers are going thru the motions and lack anything special. The food also lacks flavor. Very generic. I would recommend you go to Hugo's Cellar at the 4Queens or Michael's at the Southpoint. You could go to a Outback and get a better meal for 1/3 the price.
