America's Best Italian Food
Italian food is an undeniable part of the American dining landscape. Nearly every neighborhood has its own red sauce joint, run by a local nonna who's been cooking up her famous lasagna the same way for decades. But today's modern Italian restaurants strive for something more, like handmade pastas, rustic regional recipes and exquisite surroundings.

View RestaurantAtlanta's Sotto Sotto firmly adheres to the principles of the Italian kitchen. Its authenticity is evident in such starters as the cooked-to-order risotti that come al dente — try the seafood or the mantecato with its drizzle of good balsamic vinegar. Whole roasted fish is a study in simplicity, and the oak-roasted veal chop is perhaps the best in town. See More

Great hole in the wall Vegetarian Cafe in Las Vegas!
The avocado special is a must have for any avo lover!!!
This hole in the wall is the best kept secret in Vegas and I'm ok with letting it out of the bag! This is a locals favorite and a must for dinner ot lunch on a Vegas trip only minutes from the strip.
EVERYTHING HERE IS AMAZING !!! The cheesy garlic bread is a must
The Spumoni is the most amazing tasting dessert in Vegas!!!! Oh hell yum!
The BEST Philly Cheese Steak in Vegas. Open 24/7 Well worth coming off the strip for this little hole in the wall ?? The onion rings and fries are REALLY good too. Outside seating ONLY! No alcohol
Guy brought his business and recipe from Philly. Definitely the most authentic steak you can get in Vegas.
Awesome hole in the wall!!! I love downtown!!!
via Eater: A dive bar reborn as music venue. Food choices include Frito Pie & BBQ. A handful of easy chairs near the stage provide the ultimate option to enjoy the blast of the superior sound system.

We love Bunkhouse! A total dive - bands cheap drinks, super trashy and super awesome!
If you like a hole in the wall, you should find this spot. #adventures
Do me a favor and don’t tell people about this place because it’s so great and intimate.
Great little hole in the wall place!! Good food! Great prices! Our family of 5 ate for $42! And plates were emptied! Hard to believe with my picky clan!! Wendy our server was super nice.
Friendly staff, great food, reasonable prices.
Excellent authentic Mexican food in an off-the strip hole in the wall location. HIGHLY recommended!
Order the barbacoa on Saturdays, but hurry because it sells out fast. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
Fanduel sign in. Try the Pozole friday, sat and sunday Great mexican food
A hole in the wall w/o any signs out front. Only a small slit of a window along a white wall. Amazing omakase!
Expensive but worth it. Beautiful restaurant and great chefs in a very humble location off-strip.
Nice hole in the wall spot. Great for lunch or dinner.
Must try the 'spinach salad'. Most delicate, tempura fried spinach you can imagine with an awesome sauce.
This place is always on my list when im in Vegas. It's a fun hole in the wall, with STRONG cheap drinks (if they make you pay)
The friendliest gay bar in Las Vegas. This place can't be beat for a chill night out with friends. And, they have some pretty awesome specials, too.
Tip your bartenders!!! They will take care of you..
It is an out-of-the way hole in the wall in downtown Vegas, a little off the beaten path. The truffled egg sandwich, shrimp grits, huevos motulenos and beignets were A+ so I fell off my diet, SMH.
The beignets, truffle egg sandwich and roast beef sandwich are must-orders. [Eater 38 Member]

Great place. Came here from CLE to watch the cavs game. They had every TV with it on. Little hole in the wall, with a great staff. Love the baked Cajun wings. Might be the best I've ever had.
The Cajun baked chicken wings (pic) are AWESOME!! Good pizza, cold beer, & mixed drinks, great bartender - Rich. Live bands occasionally. Kinda of a dive bar restaurant combo. Good music, & friendly.
