"Amari is a triple threat: a red sauce Italian restaurant, wine shop, and artisanal market all in one. It’s a low-key dinner spot where you can pop open a bottle of wine off the shelf and have some garlic miso focaccia—just be sure to order all the dips that come with it: whipped ricotta, Calabrian honey, pesto, and tomato sauce. We like their sesame arancini that’s bursting with pork sausage and smoked mozzarella and how the rigatoni’s bolognese sauce doesn’t skimp on bits of beef and pork. There’s also the nice option of taking some ready-to-heat meals and giant jars of their bolognese and marinara sauces to go. photo credit: Hannah Rushton" - Emmy Kasten
"Available exclusively from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., this trendy Italian restaurant at UnCommons in Southwest Las Vegas, will serve a three-course Easter brunch menu for $49 per guest above 10 years old. Weather permitting, grab a table on the patio where you can choose from a range of light and heartier items such as a yogurt parfait layered with seasonal berries, toasted steel oats, and citrus; and rigatoni with beef and pork bolognese with nutmeg ricotta. Dessert is a citrus torta for the table." - Emmy Kasten
"Outdoor seating at Amari faces the courtyard at Uncommons, which means excellent people-watching over dinners of fresh pasta, fluffy focaccia, and happy hour specials of eggplant pizza and arancini." - Janna Karel
"This southwest Las Vegas Italian restaurant hosts happy hour daily from 3 to 5:30 p.m. in the bar, lounge, and patio. The happy hour menu includes homey herbed focaccia bread with garlic miso dipping cream for $5; meatballs and arancini stuffed with beef, pork, and taleggio cheese both run for $10. One of the better deals might also be the $38 salumi board and wine special, which includes a full bottle of the sommelier’s wine selection that week." - Ryan Slattery
