Balla Italian Soul has won several awards and is by a James Beard Award Wining Chef. This restaurant is located in the Sahara Hotel/Casino on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada.

It’s beautiful and rich looking inside.

It just feels like you are in a nice place.

We went with the three course special for single orders…..(the three course menu on the menu and website is for parties of four or more)

Not included but we added on focaccia with taralli crackers.

The bread is light and airy and seems freshly made.

First course is Caesar Salad.

The baby romaine is nice, fresh and crisp. I think that the dressing taste more like ranch dressing than Caesar dressing….It was also odd that the food runner didn’t offer black pepper. Our server offered black pepper when we were around halfway finished. After finishing we wait about 20 minutes for our next courses.

Casarecce – tomatoes, garlic, basil, Calabrian Chili

Rigatoni Fra Diavolo – Shrimp, Calamari, Bell Pepper, and Mint

Both were cooked nicely but neither was spicy.

We waited at least another 20 minutes for the next course.

We both had the Sea Bream for our third course.

The Sea Bream was garnished with greens and was served in a lemon butter type sauce and came with mushy broccolini and potato puree with a parmesan crust.

The fish was cooked nicely but was an extra small portion. The broccolini was mushy. The potatoes were tasty.

My husband asked for a refill on his water but never got his refill.

It was also a birthday reservation but nothing happened so we paid and left.

That was my trip to Balla Italian Soul.
