There's something about food that just hits your soul and is so filling and soothing. Perhaps, that's why meals like that are considered comfort food. While it may come in many different forms across many different locations, this place in one of Las Vegas' newest properties hopes to provide their own kind of comfort food in the form of Italian dish staples to those that happen to visit. Let's take a bite into, Brezza.
The Place (4 out of 5) - Brezza is located on the 1st floor in Resorts World in the "shopping mall" area, if you will. Depending on where you're coming from, some may consider it tucked away, but once you find it, I guarantee you'll never forget where it's located again. From the outside looking in, the restaurant looks very spacious with a very open air entrance that gives you the ability to look throughout the restaurant without even stepping foot in it. The bar and bar top area spans a good portion of what you see immediately as you walk by and the dining room is, what I consider, to be a bit more "inside". All that said, because it's next door to Carversteak and a few other fine dining options, it certainly holds its own for looking like a place you want to step into and dine in. The bar is fairly decent sized and there were quite a few bar tops that could accommodate for a few small groups. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the rest of the dining room; however, the entire place definitely gave off a classy vibe.
The Service (4 out of 5) - Since I was dining alone, I was able to get a seat at the bar fairly easily even during dinner hours. I was promptly greeted by Brad the bartender and he provided great service! Nothing over the top, nothing lacking, just attentive to his patrons and making sure they had everything they needed. The hostesses were approachable and friendly as well politely letting me know that the bar was open seating and available to me if I'd like. Again, nothing to write home about, but definitely worth calling out that nothing was terrible about it either!
The Food (4.5 out of 5) - For food and drinks, there were definitely some "bests" I was fortunate enough to experience. First and foremost, I had the Ventosa to start off as my cocktail. Needless to say, I had a few of these. Super refreshing and a perfect compliment to quench your thirst as you indulge in your food. Next, one of the "bests" I mentioned previously. Hands down THE best bread AND butter I've ever had at a restaurant so far. The fresh baked focaccia was super soft, warm, and moist and the whipped butter....my goodness, that butter was absolutely amazing. I could've for sure asked for a bucket of that alone and just put it on anything and everything I ate. I usually am not a person to load up on bread before dinner, but I absolutely asked for two more servings of it...it was THAT good and something I still think of to this day and wish I had some right now! For my main course, I had the Braised Short Ribs. I'm a pretty big fan of fall off the bone, cut with a fork, tender cuts of meats and braised short ribs are one of my go-to's at a restaurant. Suffice to say, these braised short ribs did not disappoint. It was super tender, cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and easy enough to cut with a fork. The sauce was rich and another "best" worth mentioning, the best horseradish infusion I've ever had! Usually, in my experience, no matter what horseradish may be infused with, it's still SUPER strong and carries a bitter note with it. Not my kind of tea and something I generally avoid or even ask to hold; however, this one was really tame and allowed me to actually enjoy the horseradish. Amazing!
Overall (4 out of 5) - All in all, my experience at Brezza was definitely pleasant. I enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, and the service was really laid back and chill. Great way to unwind and have some good food, especially if you're staying on property. I look forward to coming back and trying all the other dishes that Brezza has to offer. I'm sure I won't be disappointed. Thanks for the hospitality, Brezza! Cheers! read more
