The best food memories I have of Las Vegas happened at Mario Batali’s Enoteca San Marco. Why?
Because there was a cheese plate.
And we like cheese plates.
My initial reactions, as I wrote back on June 8, 2009:
One of the highlights of this past weekend’s trip to Las Vegas was the formaggi at Mario Batali’s Enoteca San Marco in the Venetian. We had the server choose the best 7 cheeses offered and were given this platter with the accompaniments that included Honey with Truffle Oil, Brandied Cherries, and Apricots.
Absolutely amazing. Oh, and then I followed this with an amazing Margherita pizza and paired it all with a pretty Friulian white wine
Delish!
Their Margherita pizza was incredible also, but this marked my Real Good Cheese Plate De-Virginization, so that’s what I’m focused on here.
