The new venue celebrates the flavors, energy and theatricality of the original that ran for seven years on the Strip and closed during the pandemic.
The recognition comes from Gambero Rosso International, one of the world’s leading authorities on Italian food and wine.
The neighborhood spot quietly served a Tex-Mex menu to a loyal following from its space on East Sunset Road.
