AMARI Italian Kitchen & Wine Shop, situated within the UnCommons campus in Southwest Las Vegas, has launched a new fall menu that emphasizes seasonal ingredients and traditional Italian culinary techniques. The updated offerings include a variety of starters, entrées, and pastas that reflect the rich flavors of autumn.
Innovative Starters
The menu introduces shareable appetizers such as squash blossoms filled with ricotta and mascarpone, finished with a drizzle of Calabrian honey. Another addition is the tuna crudo, featuring tonnato sauce, baby turnip, and citrus elements, providing a refreshing option. For those seeking a bit of spice, the steamed clams are prepared in a white wine and garlic broth, enhanced with a “fra diavolo” sauce.
Diverse Entrée Selections
Main courses cater to both seafood and meat enthusiasts. The Antarctic salmon is served alongside broccolini and a vibrant salsa rossa. The braised beef cheek comes with creamy polenta, glazed root vegetables, and crispy chips. The pan-seared branzino is complemented by Castelvetrano olives, orzo, and saffron aioli, offering a Mediterranean flair. Additionally, the hanger steak is paired with crispy potatoes and salsa verde, blending rustic and refined flavors.
Seasonal Pasta Offerings
The fall menu features pastas that highlight the season’s essence. The cheese ravioli combines Italian sausage and winter greens in a robust marinara sauce. Stuffed gnocchi filled with roasted winter squash, sage, and brown butter, accented with poppy seeds, provides a warm and textured dish. The squid ink mafaldine reimagines shrimp scampi, incorporating capers and uni-tomato butter for added depth.
Complementary Beverages
To accompany these dishes, AMARI offers cocktails like the Alpine Peak, made with Bulleit bourbon, Pasubio Amaro, fall spices, and apple cider. Another option is the Amore Tesoro, featuring Glendalough Rose gin, berries, peaches, honey, and lemon. The wine market provides a selection of Italian and domestic wines, available for on-site enjoyment or take-home purchase.
