On the north end of the Strip you’ll find Balla Italian Soul, a sweet joint with a patio that looks out to Las Vegas Boulevard. It’s chef Shawn McClain’s newest venture, with a menu that captures some of the most celebrated flavors and ingredients of Italy’s Amalfi Coast.

Once you’re seated inside the bright restaurant, ask for a beverage menu, and it’s a beaut here, 26 pages of cocktails, beer and a great variety of wine from all over Italy, with sommelier recommendations, large-format wines and wines from other domestic and global sources. Plus, there are plenty of spirits offered as well. You’ll even find a couple of mocktails for those who don’t imbibe the heavier stuff.
