Heavenly Pizza & Trattoria – Las Vegas NV – James Beard Award Wining – Worth a Try!

I read that Heavenly Pizza and Trattoria was by a James Beard Award Winner Chef so I thought it was Worth a Try!

It’s a little humble casual family-type little pizzeria with an amazing long and large wine list. (With MANY expensive bottles like $500.+)

My favorite of what we’ve tried was the slice of cheese pizza. It’s special and different. I never had pizza like this anywhere else before.

It’s a thin but very crisp crust that is charred on the bottom. The cheese seems like a good quality and the tomato sauce was rich. The pizza is also embellished with seasoning to make it taste just so.

Very crisp pizza – almost cracker or matzah like. Not like bread.

Then I had the branzino

It was topped with sweet roasted tomatoes and lots of mushrooms. The fish is cooked perfect and so is the rigatoni in a well made sauce.

My husband tried the Chicken Parmesan.

The chicken isn’t breaded.

Good sauce embellished with roasted sweet tomatoes. Nicely prepared rigatoni. Over cooked dry chicken.

Worth a Try for the pizza and some things.

The Forking Truth

2 Course $25. Lunch at ANIMA By Edo – Las Vegas NV – Worth a Fork!

ANIMA By Edo is sort of upscale New American Restaurant located in The Gramercy in Las Vegas Nevada. Lunch service just started and they are offering two course lunches for $25.00 with a few add on options.

I started with the Dealer’s Choice Salad. Today it was described as a Peach Panzanella Salad.

It’s fancy and different. It has lots of different fancy produce in it and fresh tasting pistachios. It’s a bit radish heavy but the radishes are very good and a much better quality and freshness than what I get at my local markets. The salad is large and I shared a nice amount because I could.

My husband started out with the 30 Day Dry Aged Stripling Carpaccio in Puri Bread stuffed with Payoyo Cheese Espuma and topped with Black Truffle Vinaigrette.

WOW! The Puri Bread is almost like bread egg shells. I didn’t taste the meat but the Puri Bread and Cheese Foam was interesting.

I had to try the Salmon A La Plancha.

I do have to say that the salmon really is amazing and has been prepared so masterful that the skin is crunchy and taste like a potato chip. It even stayed crispy with moist medium cooked fish. Adorning the salmon is summer squash, confit tomatoes, sauce vierge, and green goddess allioli.

My husband enjoyed the Rigatoni Amatriciana with belly bacon ends, and sun-dried tomato pomodoro.

My husband also added on a Bikini Pressed Sandwich ($10. Sobrasada, Matton Cheese) to go that he enjoyed a little latter.

The 2 Course $25.00 Lunch by ANIMA By Edo is sure Worth a Fork!
