I did some more walking today and ventured into the Venetian’s new hotel and casino that recently opened. The new hotel and casino is called “Palazzo” and is a continuation of the Venetian with more Italian shops and themes. As I walked past the new shops I bumped into “Espressamente” which is an Italian “bar” or better known here in the US as a cafe’. Espressamente is apparently owned by illy, the Italian coffee brand. I had to go in! I was just blogging about how difficult it is to find a good espresso…. illy has to know how to make a good espresso, right? Espressamente had gelato, caffe’ and much more. Everything looked great! So, I ordered an espresso and a chocolate briosce.

The results are in: Caffe’ = B, Briosce = C- ….. damn! it looked sooo good. I’ll have to try their gelato next and keep you posted. Buon weekend a tutti! Joe
