Fodor's Expert Review Giada

The first restaurant from TV personality and classically trained chef Giada De Laurentiis sits on a prime piece of real estate at the intersection of the Strip and Flamingo Road. The wide expanse of floor-to-ceiling windows provides commanding views, and the food's pretty impressive, too. Try the caprese frittata or a selection of pastries for brunch. At dinner, start with the ricotta crostini or orzo meatballs and move on to penne rigati with wild mushroom and vegetable Bolognese, or veal chop saltimbocca.  A four-course tasting menu also is available. The chef has a much more casual spot, Pronto, at Caesars Palace.
