An unexpectedly good pizza @ Dal Toro (Palazzo)
we stayed at palazzo in November and we had the same pizza. i second that pizza! really good and a great place to get away from the crowds.
pepe's "sorry no clams" question
i've had the same problem in manchester. im a restaurant person and i dont get it. you could order clams a week in advance and they would be ok iced.either there is a problem with whoever orders or they want to sell their other pizzas. either way,,,when you do get one they are delicious!!
Trip Report
liz i have to second your two reviews. we were in vegas in october and totally loved the e so much better that carnavino. we stayed at the palazzo and heard great things but we had two cold apps,one hot app and shared the $140 rib-eye that wasn't really very tender or flavorful. highly recommend e and stay away from carnavino.
