It was a chill Vegas weekend with girlfriends. Having missed our 8:45pm reservations for Nobu and already being at the Mandalay Bay Casino, we decided to check out Lupo.  The wait was about 15 minutes for a 9 pm table on Saturday night.  \n\nHomemade breadsticks and bread were brought out with a fantastic house tapenade and pureed white bean dip....I could have eaten a ton of the two dips!  We started with the caprese which was excellent with a special balsamic vinegar....supposedly aged for 18 yrs!  My girlfriends couldn't get enough of the balsamic vinegar and they practically licked it off the plate!\n\nI order the papperadelle with meat sauce....it was delicioso!  The pasta was homemade and the sauce was a perfect blend of meat and seasoning.  Other dishes ordered were the special of the night - ravioli in a butternut sage sauce...pretty good but the pasta was slightly too al dente for me and a calf liver steak which was actually a ginormous piece of calf liver that really looked like a piece of steak.  It was pretty good but I bet it contained a year's worth of cholesterol in that serving!\n\nThe service was great and our three waiters were very flattering...I'm not sure if they were coached on what to say to customers but nevertheless they were entertaining especially since they thought that my friends and I were college students when the reality is that we are older than that by a few years....ok, ok make that by ten years!  \n\nOverall a surprising find with decent food if you don't have reservations on a weekend night in Vegas.
