Pasta Shop Ristorante & Art Gallery Restaurant Review:
Pasta Shop opened as a kitchen that turned out an array of traditional and creative pastas for restaurants on the Strip and around town. In 1988, it became Pasta Shop & Ristorante, serving its pastas for dinner. The cuisine is quite imaginative. An appetizer of fresh mozzarella and plum tomato is garnished with balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil and fresh basil; tomato-basil polenta is baked au gratin with roasted pistachios. Brick-oven pizzas include a classic cheese pie and a Greek version with feta, tomatoes, kalamata olives and oregano. Caesar salad and freshly baked garlic bread precede all entrées. Among heart-healthy choices is rigatoni primavera --- sautéed fresh vegetables with extra virgin olive oil and garlic finished with roasted cashews. Seafood and pasta meld nicely in various linguine dishes starring shrimp, scallops or clams. Chicken Davida --- a sautéed breast of chicken with fried eggplant, sun-dried tomatoes, polenta and mozzarella --- is among signature specialties. Try the tiramisu for dessert.
