The Italian-born longtime friends behind the Factory Place Hospitality Group have three restaurant locations in Los Angeles, and this opening marks their first venture in Las Vegas. The décor features tones of orange and forest green with reclaimed wood tables; a neon wall lit up with Italian words such as “ciao,” “mangia” and “andianno”; red brick walls; and a pasta making station on display. The approachable menu highlights the simplicity of traditional local recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation within Italian families, with highlights such as focaccina calda al formaggio – imported crescenza cheese with arugula and Ligurian olive oil; 18-month aged Parma prosciutto with lightly fried sage dough, arugula and stracciatella; and handkerchief egg pasta with Ligurian almond basil pesto.
