This beautiful Italian eatery calls itself a mercato del pesca, a reminder of its array of bounty from the sea.

Another concept of the creative minds behind the Il Fornaio trattoria---bakeries that began in the San Francisco Bay area and spread across California and Nevada---this eatery presents a Venetian menu served beside the ersatz Grand Canal and St. Marks Square of The Venetianâ€™s indoor re-creation of Italy. The view from its 300-seat patio includes the square's lively shows. The open kitchen, with a marble counter and big-flame pizza oven, dominates the back of the restaurant, designed for cozy dining. A winding staircase takes guests to a mezzanine with a plush reception room, a sparkling marble-topped bar, five rooms to accommodate private parties, and views of the shops and square below. Among starters, we like the polenta squares with six toppings---spicy sausage, shrimp, smoked salmon, asparagus and Gorgonzola---and porcini mushrooms with white truffle oil. Try the calzone filled with mozzarella, mushrooms, ricotta, ham and tomato sauce. The risotto with shrimp, scallops, calamari, brandy and black squid ink is a winner. Sink your teeth into the lamb shank braised in Sangiovese with vegetables and herbs. Save room for the Treviso-style tiramisu and the chilled zabaglione with baicoli cookies, fresh berries, Bellini sorbet and whipped cream.

Disappointment in Las Vegas by fc1668 on 01/31/2008

It was my birthday last Sunday and we went to Canaletto Ristorante Veneto in the Venetian at St Mark's Sqaure in the evening. There were the two of us and we ordered 2 soups and the Piatto Canaletto. The soups were ok but we were so very disappointed that the Piatto Canaletto was very unprofessional prepared. The oysters were NOT fresh and had a very bad odor!! The bundle of fibres were still attached inside the mussels. We identified the problems to our server. She asked if we were done with the dish and wanted to remove the dish. We requested to speak to the manager. The manager came and we told him about the problem. He courteously gave us a discount on the dish when he saw the fibres attached to the mussel. They gave us a dessert with a candle lit up for my birthday. I try to keep thinking positively and not wanted to ruin my b-day evening. We chose a restaurant listed us "fine dining" and they let us down. If for any reason they don't have fresh seafood to serve that day, they should just said they don't have that dish available that night. They should not have served sub-standard quality food to their customers.
