Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano is a North Italian Style Restaurant and Bar located in the Restaurant Row in the Palazzo part of the Venetian on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. The menus change with the seasons but here are some of their offerings. At lunch time it looks like this.

Dinner looks more like this at dinner time.

On our first visit at lunch time they started us off with Ciabatta, Oil, & Balsamic. On our second visit for dinner nothing was complimentary.

Below are the Sweet & Spicy Peppers with soft cheese and adorned with pesto, grana padano, arugula, & oil.

Insalata Nizzarda – A bountiful salad of – Confit Blue Tuna, Seasoned Hard Boiled Egg, Olives, Green Beans, Potatoes, & Salsa Verde Aioli.

Below is one of the three Ligurian Focaccias offered.

The Ligurian Focaccia with mushrooms, asparagus, Italian parsley and squash blossoms that is stuffed with Crescenza Cheese….(This is expensive but amazing……..It’s different and more like a light as air balloon bread)

Gnocchi – Semolina dumplings, Pork Sausage Ragu, Onions, Spicy Tomato Passata, and Cheese

Casonzei – Veal & Pork filled Pasta with Pancetta, Parmigiana Reggiano, Sage, Brown Butter

North Sea Salmon – Crushed English Peas, Lion’s Mane Mushroom Duxelles, Black Garlic Sauce (This was the best salmon I had in Vegas so far. The meat was sweet moist and silky. Prepared medium and the skin was seasoned and stayed crisp like a potato chip.

The only dish I don’t recommend is the pistachio and chocolate gelato.

We enjoyed the fresh fruit but the pistachio the night we had it tasted weird and not like pistachio. Both of us didn’t care for the chocolate either. The chocolate tastes 1/2 espresso to me and only mildly chocolate.

Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano is With a Fork! If you skip the pistachio and chocolate gelato.
