A Night to Remember at Bistecca Italian Steakhouse
We had the distinct pleasure of hosting a Chaîne des Rôtisseurs dinner at Bistecca Italian Steakhouse inside the Tuscany Suites and Casino—an evening that will long remain in our memories. The setting, service, and culinary artistry came together in a way that truly celebrated everything our society holds dear: elegance, excellence, and fellowship.
Located just a few blocks from the vibrant Las Vegas Strip, the Tuscany Suites and Casino may be modest in size compared to its towering neighbors, but for over 22 years, it has carved out a well-earned reputation for excellence in both food and entertainment. At its heart is Bistecca, the property’s preeminent restaurant, led by Chaîne member who is also the General Manager. It was here that over 60 members and guests gathered to indulge in a truly exceptional dining experience.
The evening began with a welcoming trio of tray-passed hors d’oeuvres: Fiche Toscano (figs wrapped in prosciutto with balsamic glaze), Arancini (carnaroli rice with beef Bolognese, taleggio cheese, and parmesan fondue), and Funghi Stufati (portobello mushrooms, Italian sausage, mozzarella, ricotta, spinach, and lemon herb beurre blanc), all paired perfectly with Chateau St. John Blanc de Noirs from Carneros.
To elevate the cocktail hour even further, we were treated to a special appearance by Drew Anthony, who portrays Dean Martin in the acclaimed production The Rat Pack is Back, which has been a mainstay at the Tuscany for over eight years. His performance added a touch of nostalgic charm and Las Vegas magic to the evening.
As we sat down for dinner, the courses continued to impress. The first course, Burrata Pera (burrata cheese and bosc pear with basil-tarragon purée, crispy prosciutto, and balsamic vinegar), was elegantly paired with Banshee Sauvignon Blanc. This was followed by a rich and comforting Lobster Bisque topped with poached langostino tails, complemented beautifully by Foley Johnson Merlot from Rutherford.
For the entrée, we enjoyed a refined presentation of Veal Saltimbocca with sage and prosciutto, served alongside Tuscan potatoes and asparagus. This course was paired with Silverado Borreo Ranch Sangiovese, providing an earthy, structured counterpoint to the savory flavors on the plate.
The meal concluded with a classic Tuscan Torte a la Nonna, garnished with ginger yogurt and fresh citrus segments, paired with Banshee Brut Ten of Cups for a light, celebratory finish.
This unforgettable evening was a perfect reflection of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs’ mission: to bring together lovers of fine cuisine and exceptional wines in an atmosphere of camaraderie and culinary appreciation.
