La Strega has launched a fast casual limited engagement provisional menu for takeout or curbside pickup featuring Roman-style piadinas, salads, snacks and more. Executive chef Gina Marinelli said, “I wanted to create a secret sandwich shop featuring piadinas, which are traditional Italian flatbreads from Rome. We use our pizza dough baked to perfection in our pizza oven, and then we throw them on the grill so that they hold and travel well.” Standout items on the limited menu include smoked salmon piadina ($12) made with locally smoked salmon, marinated cucumbers and pickled shallots; tri-color sciaini salad ($12) with salami, mozzarella and pesto vinaigrette; house-made parmesan chips ($3); and Piccola Aperol Spritz made with Blood Orange Pellegrino that is canned in-house ($10). The Piadina menu is available only for lunch and curbside pickup Tuesday through Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and can be ordered in advance by calling 702-722-2099. La Strega, 3555 S.

In addition, 5D animations and interactive cartoon animations are projected on the dinner table, providing step-by-step visuals on how to cook the separate tasting menu, exclusive to this private, VIP dining room.
