Vegas Baby, Vegas! Sandi and I had a great time at Buddy V's Ristorante in the Grand Canal Shoppes between the Venetian and Palazzo in Las Vegas. This Italian Restaurant is owned by the Cake Boss himself... Bartolo Valastro - aka Buddy V. Great Food, Great Service, Big Fun. Next time you're on the strip in Vegas, give Buddy V's a try. We think you'll like it as much as we did.
