Executive
Chef Alessandro Stratta is ready to launch "Stratta", the renovated version of “Corsa Cucina”, the lustrous
Italian trattoria inside Wynn Las Vegas.
Stratta’s plans to transform “Corsa Cucina” into his latest
signature restaurant simply called “Strata” include not only a carefully
selected menu and decoration, but also a completely renewed and relaxing
atmosphere and ambience. “Stratta” promises to offer the
best regional Italian cooking in Las
Vegas, focusing on authentic Italian flavors, recipes
and traditional dishes as well as Chef Stratta’s original Mediterranean dishes.
Chef
Stratta has worked for Steve Wynn since 1998, when he was named executive chef
of the Renoir restaurant at The Mirage hotel and casino, getting the Mobil
Travel Guide's highest qualification only six months after opening. In 2005
Stratta opened his second restaurant eponymously called “Alex” at Wynn Las
Vegas, which also received the highest rating from the Mobil Travel Guide, 5
diamonds from the AAA Restaurant Ratings, and 2 stars from the Michelin Guide.
Chef
Stratta said that his restaurant will many of the ingredients used at ”Alex”,
including olive oils from Tuscany and Liguria and the San Marzano pomodori, a
special type of tomatoes imported from Italy. While some of the dishes included into
the menu may remind the complexity you can expect at “Alex”, the Chef Stratta said
that that the menu at his new creation was crafted having in mind people who
want to experience simplest flavors and a more traditional approach.
“The food
at Stratta very soulful and very representative of what I consider to be the
best of regional Italian cooking. We are applying the same spirit and the same
cooking techniques that we use at restaurant Alex, but in a very approachable
way that focuses on flavor and tradition. Alex is uptown and Stratta is
downtown, it’s a bustling restaurant with a totally different vibe. I want
Stratta to be simply about good food and fun” said Chef Stratta.
