Dining Out: Stratta At The Wynn

I just came back from Las Vegas and I wanted to provide a report on my latest dining experience, Stratta at the Wynn. The restaurant is named after the chef Alessandro Stratta (who also is the chef for the fine-dining restaurant Alex at the Wynn). I would describe the cusine as regional Italian cooking.

I created my own tasting menu of three of the truly signature dishes at the restaurant. I started with clams casino with peppers and pancetta, followed by a fabulous Veal Parmigiano in a chunky tomato sauce and topped with buffalo mozzarella. Amazing.

Last, but certainly not least, I finished with "bombolini" (think beignets). These little delicacies are filled with Nutella and served with a side of freshed whipped cream for dipping. Wow.

The restuarant has an extensive wine list primarily consisting of smaller, boutique producers. A wonderful Wattle Creek Pinot Noir from Monterey County was paired with the veal - fabulous.
