- One of my favorite places to get Italian food,
on the Las Vegas strip,
Is in Eataly in front of the Park MGM.
This is kind of, like an Italian supermarket
meets an Italian food hall.
In this video, I'm going to show you around,
but just before I'm doing this video,
I'm eating the Tagliatelle Bolognese
with buffalo mozzarella.
This is mozzarella cheese from Italy.
It's super tasty.
Super fresh tomatoes, super fresh cheese.
That's nice and moist, just like it would be in Italy.
And I've got some...
Sparkling orange to wash it down,
but let's go ahead and take a walk through.
And I figured we should start this tour,
just coming in from the outside,
as if you would from the strip.
There's actually two ways into Eataly.
One, from the strip here,
it's basically, right next to the New York-New York Hotel.
Or you can come in through the Park MGM Casino.
Eataly literally just kind of, butts up against the casino.
So, as we come in, on the right hand side
is the supermarket area and the bakery.
We'll check that out in just a moment,
but I want to take you to the food court part,
which is directly up this staircase.
To the left that we passed, is a bread bakery
and the wine area.
Now, the way Eataly is set up in the food area,
there's all these little stations.
Right here, this is basically the, the bar.
Like, if you want to get some Italian drinks,
you get it right here.
There's the pizzeria.
And in each one of these little stations,
that's like, the station where they make the food.
So, you can see here in the pizzeria,
they've got all the pizzas right there.
The pizza oven, we'll go to the other side
and you can see them on display.
The pasta that you saw me eating,
came from the fresh, pasta place right back here.
But you can see in the fresh pasta place,
they've got all the stuff back here to make the pasta.
If you were here in the morning,
when they're doing that, then you would see that being made
and then cooked in the back.
There's Eataly's fish over here,
where you can get some big, whole fish cooked up for you.
Literally, one of these fishes they will toss in the oven
or they'll grill.
You know, however you want it done.
You can see the big sea bream there is $38.
They've also got like, fish skewers, shrimps,
things like that.
Okay, let's go ahead and take a look at the pizzas,
as I promised we would.
These are the handcrafted Roman pizzas,
kind of, a hallmark of any Eataly.
You can see these have like,
prosciutto on them, mushrooms,
hot honey and you know,
the classic Margherita right there,
cooked up in the pizza oven.
Another notable one is their La Sallumeria.
Where, if you wanted to get some of that buffalo mozzarella,
you can see they got it floating right back there
with the fresh mozzarella.
You can also get these kind of like,
sampling snacking plates,
if you just feel like having a few snacks.
If you are hankering for steak,
they have really good steaks too.
Right up here, you can see their porterhouse steaks,
for $80 age, 12 months.
Or perhaps you want the big tomahawk steak here, $108.
You don't take it home raw, they cook it for you,
but they display it in the case.
There's also so another central cocktail area right here
and then you see the Park MGM Casino, just beyond there.
Going this way is the Italian Street Food stall
and the rotisserie.
I'm going to go ahead and walk around
the rotisserie side first,
so that you can see the chicken, prime rib.
Very classic in Italy is to go to these places
where you get like, some roasted potatoes
and some chicken or some beef, brussels sprout.
They've got that all on offer here.
And then just around this side of the rotisserie,
they've also got paninis right here.
So, if you want to get like a sandwich,
the mortadella sandwich will be $10.
The prosciutto one, a little more fancy meat, $14.
And then the fried food that they have,
for the actual Italian street foods are right here.
We've got these house-made meatballs.
We've got fried mushrooms,
fried fish, shrimp, squash, arancini,
which is basically a fried rice ball.
And then, you've got one that also has mozzarella
and comes with tomato sauce.
Vegas is all about bars, right?
So, there's a wine bar over here.
The other ones that we saw were more for cocktails.
And then over in this corner is their sit-down restaurant,
La Pizza E La Pasta.
They've got some specials,
where you get like two courses for $30,
they've got a mozzarella bar.
This one, you can see the tables back there.
There's the pizza ovens that come from Italy in the back.
All of these other stalls,
basically you just kind of,
sit at the open seating out here.
There's no waiters.
They give you a buzzer, you pick up your food
and when you're done, you know, just leave your stuff there.
Oh, by the way, they do make also,
in addition to the mozzarella from Italy,
they also make fresh mozzarella here in house.
If you're here in the morning,
you can see them making it right here.
And then, this is going down to the supermarket section.
So, let's go ahead and check this out down here.
Here, we have a fresh gelato shop
and you know ice cream stores in the U.S,
often you can see the ice cream,
but Italian gelato you never can.
It's always in these silver containers.
There's a place that sells crepes right here.
A popular flavor would be Nutella.
If you like chocolates,
Venchi right here, makes some delicious chocolates.
And basically, they kind of, like weigh them up
and that's how they charge you for them.
Now, in the supermarket section,
you can get kind of, a basic collection of Italian goods.
Of course, you know, pasta sauce from Italy,
pasta from Italy, get your big pieces of lasagna.
Maybe get some lemon pepper, get some really big shells,
or perhaps you want some vinegar,
or you want some olive oil from Italy.
They've also got, you know, just things like,
if you've always wanted a Eataly saucer-cup,
you can get that too.
Now, there's also cannoli,
which I guess they would sell here,
but today, because it's probably not that busy,
they've got the cannoli over at their pastry shop.
These pastries are incredible.
You can see here, we've got like coconut pastries,
we've got hazelnut pastries, cream puffs, pear pastries.
And then, a lot of little ones over here.
Just like, if you don't have a lot of room,
you can get yourself a petite pastry,
or maybe a plain croissant.
And then you can wash it all down with a coffee
from Lavazza, the classic Italian coffee brand,
which makes pretty good coffee.
And then here on the right,
is the checkout for the supermarket.
I just pointed out they've got a whole selection
of Italian drinks back there and Italian cookies.
You know, maybe take something for the holidays,
get like a tin for a gift.
This is back at the front door.
Something interesting I want to point out,
they have shopping baskets like this
that you take around in Italy.
This is what you'd get.
It has like a, like a handle,
so you can like wheel it around that way.
But they've also got these plastic,
shopping cart things that you take the basket
and put it on there to give yourself a shopping cart.
So, there's like two pieces to make the shopping cart.
I've actually never seen that before.
And then the final section over here,
is their bread bakery and their wine section.
So, looking right here,
you can see they are actually, making bread right now.
Look at that.
They're rolling the bread, rolling the dough,
which is pretty cool.
And then you can buy that fresh, baked bread
right here from the bakery.
And then the final section is the wine shop,
where you can do like wine tastings.
You can get like five ounces of wine for $5.
You got to do it before 3:00 PM.
And you can see they've got
all the little wine containers there on offer,
different glasses that you can pick there.
And then just on this side, on this staircase,
that brings you right up
into the food court section, where we started.
Well, there you have it.
The best place to get Italian food on the Las Vegas strip.
