We dined at Trevi in Caesars Palace on a whim - it was mid afternoon, and we wanted a lighter meal. After passing up several other restaurants in Caesars Palace, my mother, my cousin and I settled on Trevi near the main fountain. It was a good decision for us.
We ended up sharing three appetizers and two desserts between us, and it was just the right amount of food for us to share without feeling really stuffed:
Antipasti - Mozzarella cheese drizzled with olive oil, marinated mushrooms, three types of olives, artichokes and an assortment of peppers served with several slices of prosciutto. I ate mine with the complimentary crusty bread.
Polenta fries - Fried polenta served with marina sauce and presented in a newspaper-lined basket. I'd never heard of it before, but it had a great flavor and was warm and delicious.
Fritto Misto - Tempura-style fried calamari, shrimp, scallops and vegetables served with a mayonnaise-based sauce for dipping. The sauce was okay, but I preferred dipping the seafood items in the marinara sauce that came with the polenta fries myself.
Gelatti Trio - A choice of three gelatto flavors from the ten or so flavors of the day. We selected pistachio (very strong), tiramisu (perfect!), and chocolate chip (a little on the vanilla side). The tiramisu was fantastic by itself, but we found ourselves combining the different flavors to come up with other combinations. Mixed together, the other flavors were really good! I wish we'd tried the chocolate or peanut butter flavors, too. Double the tiramisu would have been wonderful.
Sorbetti Trio - A choice of three sorbet flavors from four flavors of the day. We chose watermelon (not enough flavor), lemon (delicious!), and strawberry (good). We didn't choose raspberry because it was the only flavor that my dining companions didn't like, but I think I would've preferred it to the watermelon choice. Again, we mixed the flavors together for other "tasting combinations", and they were very good when mixed together. The lemon sorbetti is also available as a part of one of Trevi's specialty drinks - I might be trying that one next time!
Together with three iced teas, our bill came to about $62.50. Not a bad total for our light "meal".
The atmosphere was great; we dined on the 'patio' next to the main Caesars fountain, and got to 'experience' the changing sky while we dined. It was a great location and a wonderful atmosphere. From the Forum Casino, it is about 100 yards into the Forum Shops and is connected to the fountain area - you can't miss it.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I give Trevi an 8.5, and I look forward to dining there again to try more of their menu options.
