THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Nora’s Wine Bar & Osteria Restaurant Review:

The first restaurant in Las Vegas with an Enomatic wine-tasting system, Nora’s offers a wine list with 350 choices, 60 of them also by the glass. Honoring matriarch Nora’s tradition, the appealing Italian fare is served family-style. Bruschetta with an array of toppings is among lunch and dinner favorites, as are cicchetti (small bites) such as the truffled duck egg with tomato sauce, guanciale truffle cheese and grilled bread, and Parmesan-filled dates wrapped in apple wood bacon. We also like the meat platter of artisanal salumi such as prosciutto, mortadella, bresaola, Tuscan salame and coppa ham; pasta e aïoli served tableside; smoked salmon pizza with chive sour cream; and veal Marsala. Among entrées served for dinner only is seafood couscous with diver scallops, shrimp, mussels, sea bass, roasted tomato and fennel. Worth the splurge are chocolate ravioli with hazelnuts topped by acacia honey and panettone bread pudding with candied fruit and vanilla sauce.
