EATALY – Las Vegas

drinks, food, Uncategorized

Having been to a few different Eataly’s, Las Vegas Eataly at Park MGM is the greatest thing that has happened to my tastebuds. The comparison to an amusement park for foodies is spot on. They have mastered fast food and quick bites for on the go with high quality ingredients or you can sit down for a leisurely meal and immerse yourself in the experience Eataly provides.

Their philosophy of “eat, shop, learn” is something the strip has not scene before and they do it right. Their fresh pizza dough and pasta are some of the best things to exist. They hand pull their own mozzarella right in front of you and its our favorite show in Vegas as well as the best edible souvenirs.

It is every food snobs dream come true. Infact, this place will appeal to any person. Pizza, pasta, drinks, sweets – they have a food station for any craving. Enjoy an Aperol Spritz sitting under the sunshine like an Italian or take it to go in a plastic cup Vegas style.

FOOD RECOMMENDATIONS:

  • Tradizionale Pizza – your traditional Neapolitan pizza
  • Charcuterie Board with pickled veggies
  • Nutella Crêpe
  • Espresso
  • Aperol Spritz and Limoncello Spritz

Items to be informed about…

  • The cannoli is Sicilian style with whipped ricotta so it may not be something you’re used to. It’s not as sweet of a filling you find in Italian bakeries in the US.
  • The Presseco and gelato drink at the Il Gelato station is essentially just a scoop in your drink. (Can be spotted in the picture below)

‘Tis the Season for Charcuterie

food, Uncategorized

Meat? Good. Cheese? Good. Bread. Gooooood! Everyone loves a charcuterie platter. There’s something for everyone and it’s the easiest thing to put together. Originated by the French, of course they have their own rules and proper guidelines to creating this delectable treat but they are notoriously known for unnecessary steps in baking. Americans are known for finding the shortcut. There’s so many blogs with recipes to create a charcuterie board but there are no rules and no wrong way to make one (In America that is.)

Just follow our easy steps to putting together an epic treat.

Step 1 – get a cutting board or platter. Step 2 – get delicious food. Step 3 – assemble.

Badda bing badda boom. You’re done and everyone’s happy. It’s simply using your creative side that really makes it a charcuterie platter. Add some greens, nuts, dried fruits, and other accoutrements to bring it to the next level.

It is one of our favorite things to snack on or enjoy as a meal. Make one for your party or bring one as a gift to your next event.
