Zefferinos in the Grand Canal Shoppes

by Sarah Lee Marks
(Las Vegas, NV)

Chef Francesco Shintu is a Master Chef (the youngest in the world) of the true Italian pedigree. My favorite part about visiting Zefferino's is asking him to suprise me. He'll ask for a protein, vegetable, allergies or dislikes, and then disappears into the kitchen to whip up a wonderful treat. You have to give him a gauge as to how hungry you are or the tasting menu will go one forever! I love his pumpklin ravioli, and Zuppe del Doge, but everything is based on "in season" so be ready. The Sunday Brunch is out of this world, but again, go hungry. I am a true Las Vegas FOD; www.reservationsreq.com and author of Reservations required, Culinary Secrets of Las Vegas Celebrity Chefs.
