We are Vegas locals and had never dined at this restaurant before until last night. We were nothing short of amazed on how quickly the food was served, how amazing the food tasted, the service was outstanding & so were the drinks. Definitely will be returning and do recommend this restaurant to many.

We are somewhat used to the ‘fine dining' experience of the Irvine location, so this was a bit of a letdown. The problem was the amount of cigarette smoke from the casino. It's possible that eating in the dining room is better, but unfortunately we were not given the option.

First of all we were surprised at how attentive and knowledgeable the server was as well as the staff in general. We were tired on our last night in Vegas and made a reservation here because it was in our hotel lobby. But it was an upside surprise. The pizza was really good as an appetizer as was the speciality Sangria. For dinner my wife had a half rotisserie chicken dish and I had the pasta with Vodka sauce. Both were delicious. Desert was also fabulous - Molton Chocolate cake with sea salt gelato. Would recommend.

The shrimp cocktail was removed from the menu. They did not serve carbonara, which is Italian baby. I did have the tomato with Barada and it was not that great. I would not order it again. I did have the carpaccio and I absolutely loved it. I also had the ravioli with a vodka, cream, tomato sauce. That was outstanding. The waitress was lovely and patient and kind. I can't remember her name but kudos to her. I have eaten at this restaurant On multiple occasions with and without my kids. Next time while I am in Vegas, I will probably stop by again. It's difficult because there are so many restaurants. Thank you.

Fried calamari -rings and legs lightly battered , delicious but standard. Cantaloupe wrapped in prosciutto- 3 wedges of sweet melon in salty prosciutto. A nice contrast to fried calamari. Pear salad- fresh greens, slices of pear and pecans. Fresh, light, healthy. (Kept it on the light side to make up for those Pinkbox donuts.) A glass of wine and a mule rounded out our meal. Service fast and friendly but sit"outside" and enjoy your food while watching all the New York New Yorkers.

The food was excellent, the service was rushed to get us in and out.....we had a reservation for later and there wasn't a wait after. To spend $300 for a dinner for 2 in an environment where they wanted us to leave as quick as we came....is not a great value in my opinion. Hats off to the back of the house, you guys knocked it out of the park.

Our server was very nice and friendly. Although when he asked if we wanted water to drink and we said yes, he brought out a bottle of stilled water and we were charged $9 for it. Bread is no longer free and they charge $4 for it. Meals are also very expensive for what you get. Then it was my birthday and our server brought me out a cup of gelato without asking me. I was charged $9 for that too! Overall, I wasn't overly pleased with this restaurant.

Place is clean and appealing when walking by. Not too many people yet so we were seated right away. Service was amazing. Food is good. Not what I expected for a casino Italian restaurant and was pleasantly surprised. We always visit the other locations and this one will be a repeat visit in our books.

I don't understand why people are dumb playing this restaurant. The food is always delicious. The service is always on time. We are so happy to go there when we have a show either a T-Mobile or golden Knights game. The carpaccio is delicious. The seafood linguine is phenomenal. I don't get it anyway we love this place and every time we come here, when we go to one of the places on the strip that is our go to place thank you so much we truly appreciate you and we love your food. Have a wondrous evening.

Had dinner for four at Fornaio recently. Excellent service. Greeted and seated promptly. Server was informative and friendly. Food came out fresh, hot and quickly. Would highly recommend.
Years ago, I’d come here and be amazed with the exquisite tastes… now it’s just 200$ for some bland Italian. Vegas has its way of robbing you, do your research. I loved our waiter and the atmosphere is always great. But the food? Not even close to what it used to be.

This place is amazing- the food was amazing. Everyone at the table loved their meals. Staff was so friendly and great and really made us feel happy we went there on this trip to Vegas. Will 100 percent be back and highly recommend!

Food was just ok. My husband got the vodka pasta. His was good. I got the chicken, mushroom pasta. The chicken wasn't favorable, and it had gristle. We ordered the chocolate cake for dessert to share. The cake was hard and dry, you could tell it was not hiyse nade, ut was frozen, not good. The Chantilly cream was tasty.

Just tried this place for a late lunch after a busy day. Asked to be seated so we could watch people in the casino while we ate (free entertainment). Relaxed atmosphere where you could go casual or more well dressed. Our waiter was very attentive. We ordered drinks and the bar tender has a generous pour that was appreciated. The menu selections were limited because this isn't your family Italian restaurant down the street in your neighborhood that has a six page menu. They clearly focus on specific dishes that they do well. The food was amazing and flavorful. Reasonable portions and nice presentation as well. The prices were also very reasonable (for Vegas). I would recommend.

The food is good...wish that the breads were part of the sit down table experience as in the past. Making it a starter is not a top recommendation any more. Mainly because it is not even a great taste as in the past.
