OH MY GOSH I made a Great Discovery! I decided to try Monzu Italian Oven & Bar in Las Vegas Nevada not too far from the Strip. They happen to offer a Chef’s Table Menu. with a few different choices. We picked the $62. menu that offers a meat and cheese board, salad, pizza, pastas, meats, vegetables, and desserts. We got high quality delicious foods and got way more than we could eat too!
Whatever you pick they start you off with very special house made Italian Country Sour Dough Bread and house made creamy ricotta cheese drizzled with quality olive oil and some herbs.
Next is a snacking plate of all kinds of things.
On the left are eggplant salad and olives. Up top is mortadella, lemon beef. prosciutto. In the middle are fried breads, down below are a variety of cheeses. On the left side are bacon wrapped dates and fried anchovies with sage.
Next is salad.
It’s mostly arugula, heirloom tomatoes onions, and the crispest sweetest fennel that I have ever tasted anywhere.
We got to try this really unusually AMAZING pizza.
Instead of sauce this pizza is spread with date cream. It’s topped with arugula, scamorra cheese, ricotta, and heirloom tomatoes with prosciutto.
After that are two bowls of pasta.
We tried the light pillow-like gnocchi with walnuts and a creamy gorgonzola type sauce.
We also tried pasta with a red eggplant Norma sauce.
Then we tried this really great fish house quality Seabream with delicious potatoes and a specialty vegetable called sea asparagus.
The skin was perfectly crisp too! and the fish just melted in your mouth.
We also received petite lamb shanks with potatoes and vegetables.
They even gave us a generous plate of dessert too!
Biscotti, cannoli, and an Italian doughnut drizzled with honey and sour orange rind.
Now that is a deal!
The $62. Chef’s Table Menu at Monzu Italian Oven & Bar in Las Vegas NV sure is-
Worth a Fork!
