During a recent trip to vegas, my mother and I ate at this restaurant.  It was good, but nothing spectacular.  The highlight of the meal were the two salads.  I had the octopus salad, while my mother had the panzanella.  The octopus was tender and the potatoes and celery made the perfect, crisp foil against the fish.  My mother's panzanella was light and refreshing, although a touch too sweet for my tastes.  For an entree, I had the braised pork shoulder, which the waiter said was a house specialty.  The meat was a little dry and stringy and the sauce was cloyingly sweet.  My mother had the pasta ala norma.  The sauce was good, but the pasta was very undercooked and I am not talking about al dente.  It was almost crunchy.
