It’s really not much of a contest: For people-watching and great views of the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, Giada cannot be beat. The restaurant’s perched on the second floor of The Cromwell, with floor-to-ceiling windows that open out onto a vista that includes Caesars Palace, the Fountains of Bellagio, Bally’s and more. Like Giada’s California-influenced Italian food, it’s just delightful.
Whether you’re here for dinner or brunch, you’ll find plenty to keep you satisfied. We’re partial to those bacon-wrapped dates to start (especially when they mix in spicy Italian sausage and gorgonzola crema), and the arugula salad is terrific, its flavors snapping with candied lemon, crispy pancetta and Parmiagiano-Reggiano.
Whether you opt for surf or turf, get ready for a treat. The branzino features creamy fennel and potato puree, braised fennel and a pomegranate glaze, while the veal chop saltimbocca is served Milanese-style.
Don’t skip dessert here, especially Giada’s Favorite Cookies, which includes her lemon ricotta recipe—probably our favorite cookies on the entire Strip. No joke.
