It's in a strip mall on the west side of town, well off the Strip, with minimal atmosphere save for movie posters on the walls. Still, locals rave about Fasolini's, a lunchtime favorite for authentic Italian-style pizza. Run by the Fasolini family, the café serves pies with a light and crispy crust and original toppings such as homemade sausage and roast peppers. Classics like lasagna, clam linguine, and garlic chicken as well as desserts--applause for the cannoli--round out the offerings.
