    Welcome to episode 2658 of the Italian Wine Podcast and episode 239 of Wine, Food & Travel with Marc Millon.

Over nearly five decades in the city, he has built one of the most respected Italian dining destinations in Las Vegas. Today, the restaurant, located on Paradise Road, remains a true family operation, co-owned with his wife Rosalba, with their son Mimmo serving as Executive Chef and carrying forward multi-generational recipes. A passionate advocate for Italian wine, Gino has curated one of the most extensive Italian-focused wine lists in Las Vegas, featuring almost 1,800 labels.
