Raymi Mosca
Summer comfort food, from the city’s top Peruvian chef
Raymi Mosca, who owns Mi Peru South American Grill in Henderson (1450 W.

At first I was confused by the slogan on the billboard advertising Lavo at the Palazzo: “If you like our dumplings, you’ll love our meatballs.” Well, Lavo doesn’t serve dumplings. Later, it was explained to me that Lavo is part of the Tao Group, whose Tao restaurant/nightclub next door at the Venetian does have dumplings.
This is worth knowing because Tao is the No. 1 grossing independent restaurant in the United States, and Lavo is projected to finish No. 7 this year. It’s obvious, then, that somebody up there knows what the people want.

We love the spectacular view of the airport and the mouth-watering smell of Italian spices when you walk into this restaurant. One of our favorite dishes here is the grilled marinated eggplant with goat cheese, Kalamata olives, basil, capers and oven-roasted tomatoes. This lean dish was created by executive chef Mario Andreoni, and it’s perfect for anyone—especially vegetarians—looking for that extra juicy flavor.
