Monzu Italian Oven & Bar is obviously an Italian Restaurant and it’s located not too far away from the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada.
Besides the usual Italian Foods like antipasti, insalate, pasta, steaks, chicken, fish and more. This restaurant starts you off with their special bread that takes five days to prepare. It’s gets it’s unique taste from an all natural over three hundred year old family mother starter made from apricots.
They serve the special bread with oil and house made ricotta cheese.
We’ve so far have always ordered the 7 or 8 course (depending on how you look at it) $62. Chef’s Menu because it just might be the best FORKING Deal in Vegas.
It’s always different…..But tonight it went like this…..
First is Antipasti-
Starting top left going clockwise is – Grilled Artichokes, 4 kinds of cheese, marinated olives and pickled vegetables, Italian sliced beef, cheese stuffed squash blossoms, and fried breads.
Next were salads.

Risotto Verde with artichokes, peas, fava beans, fennel, and topped with grated cured egg.
Potato Gnocchi in gorgonzola cream sauce with walnuts.
Mortadella Pizza made with taleggio and mozzarella cheese, artisan mortadella, pistachio pesto, and basil with sides of marscapone cream and crushed Calabrian chili peppers.
Lombatello – (hardwood grilled hanger steak) with salsa verde and potatoes.
(The FORKING Truth……..This steak really was tender as butter)
Pollo I Vernizzi – chicken in wine sauce with onion, garlic, and potatoes

This really was far more food than we could eat so we brought back enough for another dinner.
Everything was delicious and service was perfect.
