We're happy to have a place like this to recommend, because this area of town is kind of shy on decent dining joints. For this spot, you have Gustav Mauler, who originally set up all the restaurants in The Mirage, to thank. He's out on his own now, creating kicky little restaurants all over town. For our tastes, his food isn't quite interesting enough, and can be hit or miss, but when Sazio is on, the food's delicious. The menu is full of traditional Italian dishes -- no, it's not just spaghetti with meat sauce, but don't look for any froufrou nouveau cuisine here. Having said that, it's a heck of a lot better than most Vegas hotels' generic Italian food, and portions are sized either for one person or in "grandioso," which is meant to feed two people and easily does so, with likely leftovers. It's great fun to come in a group, order a few of the larger portions, plop 'em in the center of the table, and have a feeding frenzy. Desserts include a knockout cheesecake. And they do takeout!
