The Verdict
BATTISTA'S HOLE IN THE WALL has been operating on Audrie Street in the Flamingo corridor since 1968 - the Las Vegas Italian-American institution whose all-inclusive dinner format includes wine, cappuccino, and the accordion player whose specific musical entertainment communicates the specific Las Vegas Italian hospitality culture that the Strip's proximity to the entertainment industry produced in the post-Rat Pack era. The Italian-American cooking whose specific preparations communicate genuine knowledge of the tradition; the all-inclusive format whose democratic generosity communicates the Las Vegas Italian hospitality culture's most complete available expression; and the accordion player whose specific entertainment communicates that Battista's treats every dinner as a show whose culinary and musical elements are equally important to the experience.
The Italian-American menu at Battista's reflects the theatrical hospitality philosophy applied through genuine Italian culinary knowledge: the pasta and veal programme whose preparations communicate genuine knowledge of what the Italian-American tradition requires; the all-inclusive format whose specific generosity communicates the democratic Italian hospitality culture; and the accordion player whose nightly presence communicates that this is a Las Vegas institution whose entertainment dimension is as serious as its culinary argument.
Since 1968 on Audrie Street - the Las Vegas Italian institution whose accordion player, all-inclusive format, and specific show-biz hospitality communicate what the city's proximity to the entertainment industry produced when its most theatrically generous available Italian family applied themselves to making every dinner a performance.
Why It Works for a Team Dinner
Battista's all-inclusive accordion-player Italian dinner - the 1968 institution, the democratic all-in format, the theatrical hospitality that treats every guest as part of the show - creates the team dinner that communicates Las Vegas Italian culture at its most enduringly theatrical and most genuinely hospitable available expression.
