2495 E Tropicana Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89121 702-451-1893
Description: EAST LAS VEGAS. One of the East Side's most respected eateries, intimate Pasta Shop offers an almost small-town feel, thanks to cozily arranged tables, a friendly waitstaff, and a quiet setting that's distinctly not glitzy Las Vegas. For added charm, the owner routinely tours the dining area, hobnobbing with guests and livening up the place. Specialties include homemade pasta dishes, the best of which are topped with lobster and other shellfish. Best of all, prices won't blow a hole in your pocketbook, leaving you free to explore your casino dreams. Space is limited and tables tend to fill up quickly, especially at dinner.
