Ambra Italian Restaurant

We were seated right away, great spot for people watching. Staff was super friendly and provided accurate details and descriptions to the menu. Ordered a Moscow mule and a god father. Both drinks weren't very good. I ordered the lobster and artichoke ravioli. It is listed as a chef favorite and I can see why. It was absolutely fantastic. Also ordered the chicken parmesan. The portion was out of control and delicious. Ordered asparagus, and it was smoked, and great. Also ordered potatoes and they were okay. Drinks weren't good, but the food by far made up for it. I would recommend.

My family and I were in the mood for some Italian food so we decided to try here. Plus we were celebrating my in-laws anniversary. It was easy to make a reservation online. While making the reservation I was impressed that they had a spot to let the restaurant know ahead of any food allergies to be aware of. Also a spot if you’re celebrating any occasion. When arriving the hostess did ask who in the group had the allergy, they were really good to let us know what menu items contained that certain food allergy item. There was some special menu items that weren’t on the menu, and our waitress made us aware of what those items were and the price of each item. The food came out nice and warm. The perfect temperature not to burn your mouth. Everything tasted so good and had lots of flavor. The portion size was actually just right for us. Not to much and not to little. At the end they surprised my in-laws with a special anniversary dessert. When they brought the check there was a little mix up. And it did take awhile to get our waitress attention, because she was busy with another customer. We did try to get another waiter’s attention to see if they could help us out by getting her for us, or if they could just help us out. We had one waiter walk by and he rudely said, I’m not waiter and walked off. So we sat there a little longer with our hand up, until another waiter walked by and asked us what we needed. We told him what was wrong and he went right away to go talk to our waitress to get the problem resolved. She was very nice and calm about the situation and helped us out. I would recommend this place to anyone who wanted some good Italian food. The pricing was reasonable for a restaurant in a hotel and casino.

Good American Italian food. I had the chicken parm and enjoyed it quite a bit. Tito’s dirty martini was solid too! Sat at the bar on a Saturday in early March around 8pm. Walked in, no reso. There were plenty of tables and bar spots at that time! Would recommend

So, a lot of bad reviews of the place, but definitely not deserved. Visited 9/21 for a birthday dinner and Ambra did not disappoint. The ladies at the hostess stand were friendly and efficient. Took us to a lovely table where our server, Dallas, treated us to a wonderful, delicious dinner. She was one of the finest servers we've ever had. Service was gracious and unobstrusive. From the yummy crafted cocktails to the homemade spaghetti noodles, Ambra was way better than expected. So glad we decided to ignore the bad reviews and try it for ourselves. Highly recommend the polar Express cocktail and the Bolognese. We asked for ours on spaghetti and the chef didn't mind at all that we went off menu. Would definitely go again on our next Vegas trip.

Horrible service. The lady at the front was very rude had my group and another group with a disabled woman waiting at the front. told us it would be a 45 minute wait but other people were being seated before us even though there were 14 tables available to seat, patrons groups of four or more. She stated that they did not have enough staff to mandate those areas, the bartender at the front was also rude and refused to serve us drinks while we waited. This is definitely a restaurant for reservations. The food looks appetizing. The smell is delicious. The ambience is a 10 but the staff and the catering time is -5. Definitely not a restaurant for families and they do not have a on-site bathroom. Beware not handicap accessible. Front host lied and said they only have 3 servers when I count 5-7.

Magical. 10/10 would recommend! Food and service was fantastic and the ambiance was perfect. Wine list was pretty decent if only a little pricey. I serve a few of the same wines in my restaurant in Atlanta so I'm aware of the bottle cost and usual markups, but these prices were high. We had the surf and turf special, lasagna, burrata caprese, and the tiramisu. Dessert was the highlight of the night.

The service my friends and I received at this restaurant was next to none compared to many places. Right off the bat they confirmed our reso online with my friend, and then welcomed her with a cheerful ‘Happy Birthday’ on our arrival. Our waiter, Josip, was great! Very knowledgeable, engaging, and funny. My only complaint would be that my Canadian stomach couldn’t handle the American sized portions! We were STUFFED when we left! However, the food was amazing! Being on The Strip this place isn’t cheap (again I’m thinking Canadian standards) but if you’re prepared to pay, you won’t be disappointed!!

Everything here was good and reasonably priced. I had a Ceasar salad, Chicken Parmesan, and Gelato for dessert. I would order all of them again. The service was very good and attentive.

It's hidden in the sea if restaurant inside the MGM Grand catering to all the work related events ready to spend daily allowance at the dinner table. Yes, things are priced accordingly and have lots of wine choices and sommelier ready to assist with lighting your pocket. It's been a while since we got a good meal at the Italian restaurant and this place definitely fits as one of the top 5 places to try. Drinks were strong, service was good, menu options were great and didn't smell of cigarettes. Hoot hoot!

Absolutely lovely. The food is exactly what you need when you have a hunkering for Italian food before a long night ahead. Loved the meatballs and chicken parm. Unfortunately the broccolini was so undercooked that it wasn't pleasurable enough to finish. I love the bar top and how it's lit up with this sultry shade of yellow. The staff was okay, and JUST okay.

We chose to dine here for a pre bday dinner and before the Cirque du Soleil Ka show. I made reservations specifying it was my bday and service was wonderful. From the host to our server- really no complaints. We were seated promptly and decided to order: - Prosecco - Heineken - bruschetta: this was alright. Flavor was good but I found the bread to be too crunchy. 3 pieces for $14 - chopped salad: super tasty and fresh. Didn't think I'd like the raspberry vinaigrette but I scarfed this down quickly! - bolognese rigatoni: a little Al dente but flavor wise it was good. Serving size was on the generous side. - chicken Alfredo: I really really liked the Alfredo. It was creamy & the pasta was cooked perfectly. It was just a tad salty but the bf and I split the Alfredo and rigatoni so our meals balanced each other out. Total: $136 before tip. The server was kind to bring me a tiramisu with happy bday written on it. I was not expecting this and was soo surprise to see it. We dined at Bugsy and Meyer's for my actual bday and they were no where near as attentive or thoughtful. I'd highly recommend this Italian restaurant! They were incredibly hospitable, price point was right, & food was good. Thank you, Ambra for helping make my bday memorable.

Lovely new Italian restaurant in the district area of MGM. The menu has nice options and they have daily specials provided by the server. I started with a glass of Prosecco and the calamari appetizer as well as the Italian meatballs to share for a party of four. Both were excellent! I ordered the special, penne à la vodka with sautéed shrimp and crispy prosciutto. So delicious! My friend ordered the lasagna, wow this was incredible! -1 star because there is no bread for the table, and they knew we were celebrating a birthday (host noted it on the reservation) but there was no acknowledgment from the waiter or any dessert provided.

This restaurant is cozy, it gives the socialite vibes. Food: We had the house-made focaccia, comes with plain, herb and with olives, side with some spreads and sea salt. And we also had the calamari which was cooked perfectly which we really enjoyed. For my entrée, I ordered their lasagna. The portion is generous and tasted authentic italian. Drink: i had their Rosè which I really liked. The servers are well attentive and listens with what we requesting when we dined there.

Best Italian food in Vegas I'm sure. Pros: House made pasta Strong drinks Clean Great waiters Charcuterie Bread Cons: Be mindful that bread is not free

Our bartender/ server was just great. All kinds of quick advice and the service was just as quick. Delicious food and perfect to share a quick salad and steak w/ potatoes. Stop the looking around at options and just stop here. You won't regret it. Right next to the restroom and 2 min walk to a cab to catch your next show. Cheers

We tried Ambra for the first time last week. Food was okay (not great, not terrible). But service was awful. Very slow and our main server thought he was being funny but he was actually extremely rude. We ordered the calamari, rigatoni bolognese and lasagna. The portions were a good size but nothing about the dishes was outstanding. There's no complimentary bread but you can purchase an order of focaccia and sourdough. I do not recommend as I won't be coming back anytime soon.

My favorite Italian restaurant when I'm visiting Las Vegas. This restaurant is located by the Brad Garrett Comedy Club inside the MGM hotel and casino. I have had the bruschetta, lasagna in the past and the chicken parmigiana on my last visit. This is a nice restaurant but being casually dressed would work as well. The staff made this experience worthwhile as well. The hostess and the waitstaff were friendly and attentive.

Great service and the ambiance was nice. However, the food was not great. None of it tasted fresh. We got the bruscheta and lobster ravioli and shared it. The bruscheta topping was nothing special and the bread was just a flavorless crostini. The lobster ravioli was overcooked like a frozen ravioli tastes. For a lobster dish, it was lacking lobster and the cream sauce was overpowering. The biggest reason I chose this place was because it has 4 stars and is in the MGM where we are staying but I wouldn't choose this place again. Would've been a 2 if not for good service.

We had such a wonderful dinner at Ambra. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. The new food menu was great the lobster ravioli was amazing . Manager touched the table and made sure everything was to our liking. Great little option for Italian.

Ate here last night for the first time. First off the server (Michael) was terribly rude. I like Caesar salad but don't care for anchovies. I asked if I ordered it without the anchovy if there was any anchovy in the dressing and he said "anchovy is a main ingredient in Caesar salad" like I was a total idiot. I asked to try the dressing and he looked at me like I was a POS and was so rude about it. Glad I did bc it was the most fishy Caesar dressing I've ever tasted. The bread was $9, the service was slow, the food was good but not remarkable. I wouldn't go back mainly due to how rude the server was. Vegas is a hospitality city. I fully respect that this ain't an Olive Garden but a little accommodation for people who are paying good money (when there are a million other options) is the minimum id except. Don't bother.

We were at mgm for the show Ka. Smart guy here forgot to make reservations on a Saturday when CES is going on. Every where was booked but luckily ambra has bar area with full service. We were able to be seated right away and order food. We both had lobster ravioli and Tuscan potatoes not pictured. The food was delicious and presentation spot on. Service was amazing. We will go back (with reservations) to sit on restaurant side.

This place is amazing service and the food is just as good ! It's well worth the try!

I was a lone ranger this trip and showed up to the bar for a meal. The meatballs were solid, the rigatoni was delicious and the combination of the mango, coconut, and raspberry gelatos was absolutely perfect. I honestly didn't need to see more of the restaurant; I had a perfectly great meal at the bar!

Felt like italian food and this is the spot we found closes to us at the moment. We ate at the bar with a group of friends and the bartender was very friendly and took care of us with ease even when the restaurant was about to close. Started off with the calamari and that was made to perfection. Perfect crisp and flavor. Then I got my Lobster Ravioli and it actually had lobster which made me surprised because most places do not put lobster in it. The flavors were on point on this entree. Then we had to finish off with the traditional sweets when at an Italian spot right? We got the Cannolis and the pistachio flavor was on point. Overall this place is 5 out of 5 in all ways. If you haven't tried this place out in Vegas, you're missing out.

Just celebrated our 30th anniversary here and had an extraordinary dinner. We shared the Caprese Salad and Bruschetta to start and both were excellent. We both had the Chicken Parmigiana and were very pleased. The portion is huge so if you're not ravenous consider sharing. The best part of our meal though was our server Michael. He was super attentive without being intrusive and was extremely friendly. He definitely made our night. We were so impressed by all the staff, but Michael was the shining star. Great job!!!

Made the reservation for Christmas evening at 8:30pm. We arrived 20min earlier but was seated within 5min. (One star for that) Our server was nice and upbeat( one more star) We ordered two ribeye steaks and one NY steak, all three medium well. The ribeye was over cooked..and NY was still bloody....what a disappointment... to make it worse...no one gave us steak knives til food was half way gone. Octopus was the special of the evening, but I honestly regret ordering it... Keep in mind, I love octopus. Overall...I wouldn't recommend this place because the atmosphere was so so...food was so so...and service was just ok. But if you like to pay $50 per steak for just so so taste...it's up to you.

This restaurant boasts homemade pasta and the rigatoni Bolognese definitely used boxed pasta, was served cold and dry. Could barely eat it and the server disappeared most of the night, so I couldn't even ask for the chance for him to make it right. The only glass of reasonably priced Italian wine was no longer being served because "we are closing in two weeks and are no longer ordering any wine." So the other Italian wines were more than $30 per glass! What?! I'm not cheap but you gotta deliver the quality. Couldn't wait to get out of this place. And I think the server disappeared because he was probably looking for a new job since this place is closing down in a few weeks. Wish I knew all this before booking but we didn't order another round of drinks so we "failed fast failed cheap" (relatively!).

Excellent food! Excellent Service! Excellent atmosphere! The lasagna was the best dish of the night. The bread and charcuterie boards were excellent!

Best thing about this restaurant is the host that greet you. Seriously. The waitress very kind. The food honestly on par with Olive Garden. Actually the eggplant Parmesan is better at OG. Meatballs not bad not good. Ugh

Visited this restaurant while visiting for a work conference. I had a reservation and didn't have to wait. I got the fettuccine alfredo with shrimp. It was good, just filling and you only get 3 shrimp in the meal. I also got the sorbetto and gelato dessert- which was amazing! I just wish the service was a little better, I felt forgotten most of the time.

I ate at the bar here. First off, staff was slammed but still made time to take care of me and any of my questions. Steve, Ashton, and T were so sweet. I was suggested the bread with the add on of the marinara and goat cheese. Probably the best bread I've had in my life. I then ordered the bruschetta and eggplant parmesan. Both great. I personally liked the bruschetta more and I wish there was more than 3 on the plate. Dessert was the three cannolis. INCREDIBLE. There were 3 different flavored cannolis. All great in their own way. I personally loved the ricotta cannoli best.

Had a reservation for a Saturday night. Food was delicious and the waiter was very pleasant. Ordered the calamari, Caesar salad, spaghetti and meatballs, and strip steak to share with a friend. Portions are generous, pasta is fresh, and food was superb.

One of two Italian restaurants at MGM. Go for the lamb chop or really any other dish there. Service was fast and friendly.

Located in the restaurant row at the MGM, it's definitely one of the beautiful spots in the hotel and eye-catching. Mostly in red, with accents in gold and blue. It features an outside gorgeous bar along the walkway, and then inside, a luxurious dining area. Overall, sexy as it gets. The menu is fairly small, about 16 entrees, appetizers, and a few salads. "Perfect" is what Gordon or Robert (Irvine) might say, keeping it fresh and the kitchen pumping things out timely. The couple of items I had were spot on: ================================ * Calamari Fritto [$18, 5.0 stars] -- aka "Fried Calamari" to me and you, it was the highest quality, cooked perfectly -- crisp, well seasoned, and not rubbery. * Tagliatelle Bolognese [$28, 4.0 stars] -- my fault to order something classic, but it was near perfect, a good portion, with homemade pasta and a smokey, meaty sauce. The only negative: ================ * The waiter. Nice, but odd. He was timid and spoke so quietly, often times, I found myself reading his lips to make out anything he was possibly saying. Overall: ======== It's a really solid MGM option.

Holy cow! After 6 visits to Vegas, this is the best meal I've had! Got the calamari and meatballs as apps and both were fantastic. Ordered the lobster and artichoke ravioli as my entree and the sauce was miles above any past sauce I've ever eaten. Cocktails were strong and affordable. Service was friendly and honest about the menu. 10/10! Will def be back!

Food was excellent. My eyes were bigger than my stomach and i ordered the brushetta (delicious), calamari (very good, comparable to other great italian restaurants), lobster ravioli (delicious...however i prefer my noodle not al dente...but that's personal preference). Meatballs were also very good (calm down i shared all those appetizers with people). Tiramisu was soooo good to end the meal with as well. Service was excellent

We caught an evening bite to eat here after a day of enjoying the Strip. This is a bit more of an upscale restaurant so I'd recommend dressy casual attire. 3/5 Taste - The dressing on the Caesar salad was not what I expected. It did not have the traditional flavor. The meatballs and ricotta were delish but were served warm and not hot as I prefer. I sent them back and the second set was re-made the same. I asked the waiter just to pop them in the microwave but the restaurant didn't have one. 4/5 Value - An appetizer and a salad ran me $36. A bit pricey but it's Vegas. 5/5 Atmosphere - Inviting decor and great service made for a positive dining experience.

so i was all excited to go here, since i walked by it every day, catching the monorail, and it looked inviting. reservations were for 7:30, we were seated promptly. that's about the best thing i can say about this experience. waited 10 minutes before anyone even came to the table. it was a water server. another 6 minutes until a server appeared, and was not very friendly. i ordered a red wine, my lovely date had a beer. we waited another 6 minutes before our drinks appeared. the restaurant was not overly busy; so i was unsure why the service was so slow. the waiter took our order. i had spaghetti and meatballs. my date had ribeye steak. you do not get a salad or bread with your meal. bread is $8.00 and not at all worth the price. we also had the asparagus. by the time we received our cold food, our drinks (water and alcohol) were long gone, with little hopes of receiving a refill of either. the description for spaghetti and meatballs should read TWO meatballs. my spaghetti was cold and tasteless, i've had better spaghetti at the olive garden. ribeye was room temperature, more fat than usual. asparagus was extremely wilted and was also room temperature. i consoled myself by drinking my second glass of wine, which arrived halfway through our disgusting meal. after this, our server never came back. we actually had to flag him down, so we could pay our check. if this review is lacking of my usual sarcasm, it is because i am still silently berating myself for parting with my money for this meal, as well as tipping the sullen waiter. even though the service sucked, i couldn't bring myself not to tip. as soon as we left, we walked down to the food gallery, had some pizza and beer, and listened to a local band. so, at least some of the night was not wasted.

We came and sat here for dinner. We were able to get a reservation via opentable. The ambiance of this place is AMAZING! If you want a nice Italian dinner I highly suggest this place! There were couples, a group of friends, and loads of people sitting at the bar. From starters to the dessert everything was presented to us perfectly. In between our appetizers and entrees we were a little rushed and our waiter addressed this to the busboy. But other than that the meal was OUTSTANDING! I definitely will be back to dine here again. (Side note: Please let the waiter know what you are allergic to. Since it was not asked)

Came here for our anniversary dinner . Delicious! I had the lasagna, and my husband had the veal Marsala. They both were perfect . Service was great ! Waiter brought us a surprise desert when we mentioned if was our anniversary. I made a perfect choice ! Strongly recommend!

Came here for dinner last weekend, and I am quite content with my experience. The service was good, and the food was good as well. There were no disappointments, but nothing seemed to stand out about the place especially for the prices. I enjoyed the food, but I don't think I'll be returning.

Ambra is a new Italian restaurant in the MGM Grand. It's a sleek, contemporary space with an open dining room, curved ceilings and a long, dramatic bar facing the casino floor as the centerpiece. The best way to sample the menu is to try the Chef's Menu. My server bent the rules a bit and allowed me to do Chef's Menu with only one person dining (the menu says a minimum of two). I started with the Prime Beef Tartare (with Black Truffle Vinaigrette and Walnuts). So flavorful! Arugula & Beet Salad is not what I would have ordered, but I trusted my server to make the right choice. It features Ricotta Salata, Cider Citronette and Sunchokes. When eating at an Italian restaurant, you better try some pasta. I loved the Rigatoni Al Amatriciana, featuring thick, rich, and savory tomato sauce that is served over rigatoni pasta. The Coconut Gelato Pie was the perfect finish for this meal. My only regret was missing the Ambra's hidden Speakeasy and its unique cocktails!

I m coming to Vegas for business trip , going to convention all day so hungry and tired, get the reservation on Ambra facing cute gir yin front desk , Sarah is one of them with welcoming and nice smile and good attitude welcome us . The manager will so proud to have such an amazing staff group in this branch . Thank u girls, be safe an strong all the time

Amazing service from when you are greeted to the end!! When we asked the hostess Sarah for a recommendation she suggest the steak. Our amazing waiter Michael made us feel welcomed and gave us a run down of the menue. I have to say the food quality, the presentation and flavor was beyond our satisfaction. We will definitely be coming back.

Our experience at this restaurant was a bit odd. The atmosphere is very nice. The food was good - portions are not large, but tasty. Our waitress was - humm - what would I call her - pushy, rude, just not good at her job? We were seated promptly and waitress came for our order immediately. We ordered our drinks and she came back for our order - really had not had time to even look at the menu. So ordered the bread appetizer (goat cheese and sauce was delicious). Came out really fast and waitress was back again asking for our order looking at us like "what is taking so long?" When we ordered our food, my husband asked if we would get bread with dinner. She very pointedly said that you do NOT get bread with dinner you have to order and pay for it (which we already did). Went on to say how there price point was low so they apparently have to economize ? Yikes. Like I said, food was good and maybe if you don't get Erica for a waitress this could be a good place for dinner at the MGM grand.

American Italian classics are done very well in this sleek restaurant. Had eggplant parma, lasagna and bread basket. All 3 were very tasty prepped with high quality ingredients. Service: cordial and efficient. Our server,Frank, was great. Efficient and did not bother me with constant visits. Very helpful gentelman from NYC. A must visit place in Las Vegas. Cost: $28 lasagna. You are in Vegas. I paid more for lesser food in this town.

walked by there while going to another restaurant, but after looking at the menu did a change and ended up eating there. we just went for the appetizers. boy were they good and hit the spot.

Appetizer were great, entres were okay. Server forgot our ceasar salad, was very short with us. The nicest person was the bartender as we were leaving.

I love this bar. The client experience was amazing by the staff. But best part of the night was live Music. I loved Lindsey performing live for the guest at the bar. Everyone was stopping by and admiring her talent. Thank you for an amazing Friday night and the best drinks at MGM.

We didn't have a reservation. We stopped up to see if we could get a table and she said she would ask her manager. She then proceeded to stand there and ignore us. We finally just walked away. I have no problem that they were packed, we just didn't appreciate how we were treated.

Waiter and mixologist were good sports about my requesting a cocktail they weren't familiar with. It turned out very good. Food was delicious and we appreciated the low noise level of the restaurant.

All the entrees were great but the portions might be bigger actually to the price you pay Salad could be more crunchy Kalamari was super good Sorbet was a killer

Delicious Italian dinner without having to leave the hotel. Reasonably priced and service was great. One of the few places where the ambiance was great for enjoying dinner conversation. The cannoli dessert was delicious!

Grabbed a reservation to Ambra while in Vegas with my family. Same day reservation and we even showed up early(5 people) and they sat us about 15min early. Great atmosphere and the decor was top notch(which is pretty normal for MGM resort restaurants). Reading reviews on Yelp showed us that meals were pretty large so we ordered four meals for five people(my youngest is 11). Spaghetti, chicken parm, lasagna and rigitoni. Spaghetti with meatballs was good(my wife didn't care for the meatballs so the kids and I ate those). The Lasagna was HUGE and my daughter loved it. My son had the chicken parm which was a large piece is chicken that took up half the plate and a small side of noodles on the plate and I had rigitoni which was amazing. Overall, if your looking for Italian - this is one of our favorites while in Vegas(the other being Bucca De Beppo because my kids love the family style portions). Our server at Ambra was Jeffrey and he did an amazing job!

Olive Garden food is actually better...disappointed. Atmosphere is good, nice bar area

Some of our food was outstanding (Squash Blossom Appetizer and Cheese & Herb Stuffed Pasta with a Lemon Sauce), some was just okay (Chicken Parm) and one item was inexcusable (flat Prosecco). The Chicken Parm came without Pasta, which in my experience is highly unusual, so we ordered a side of Spaghetti with Red Sauce. Diane barely touched it and said it tasted like leftovers. Definitely not worth the $14.00 upcharge. A small crock of Spinach with a Parmesan Cream sauce was good, but at $16.00 was a little ridiculous. The best thing we had was an appetizer of Stuffed Fried Squash Blossoms. They were perfectly crispy with a flavorful cheesy filling. The Pasta dish with Lemon and Fresh Peas was light and flavorful and reminded me of Spring. Service was fine and they are Wheelchair Accessible. With so many choices in Vegas it's hard to recommend such a hit and miss place.

Date night, made reservations. (Wasn't necessary) Eating here reminded me of the movie "Drive" starring Ryan Gosling. It had a lot of factors and things that are good, and things that should work, but at the end, I was just like, "Ah, meh. Ok. Weird." Three and a half solid stars, leaning to four. The service was good, but odd. Lots of random people coming by and hovering nearby to clean or fill or remove or whatever. Better than bad service, just didn't "work"here. The ambiance is very chill, the price/vibe of the place is not "upscale" or fine dining, so the five people coming by constantly was totally unnecessary and detracted from the overall chill vibe. Our main server Erica was pleasant and attentive. The Calamari came out as our app and was a perfect sized portion with a citrus aioli sauce. Very very good. Not at all heavy with oil as sometimes typical of fried calamari. Crispy and perfect really. Some super good focaccia bread was served, along with some other honey wheat bread. Focaccia bread was excellent!!! The main entree's are just that, and are not served with any sides, but there are about 6 different sides to choose from. I ordered the Black Angus Ribeye steak, no sides, and my wife ordered the Spaghetti Pomodo, no sides as well, as we had the bread and calamari already. Sides run from $12-15. I ordered my steak medium rare and it came out perfect. It tasted like a finer piece of beef, had minimal fat on it, and was flavored nicely with salt and pepper. My wife's spaghetti looked beautiful and fresh. Not drowning in sauce. As usual I ordered a coffee at the end and we also shared a nice big piece of complimentary vanilla cake! The coffee was fresh and served in the French Press. (Which still had the plastic "Bodum" sticker on it. Straight tacky) The final odd thing of the night was the bill. The bill is set at the table as typical, then I put my card in the little notebook thing and wait for it to be picked up. But the server just comes back with the table side credit card reader thing. And you just do it at the table. It just seemed weird and impractical for a place like this. I watched the guy at the table across from me swipe his card and struggle for it to go through for a good minute and a half. Somewhat deflating and odd if the table was mid conversation. The food was solid. No complaints whatsoever about the food. The service was good, but odd. If you just wandered in here for a date or a meal, and had no expectations, you would most likely not be disappointed. There was just something "off" and "odd" about the experience that I can't pinpoint. I was not disappointed, I just have no compelling reason to return. All in all, good.

Made same day reservations here earlier in the week for three at 5:45 pm. I was excited, after way too many days of steak and Mexican, to have a good Italian meal. We were seated right away and the restaurant slowly cleared out and didn't seem to fill back up. Our server provided some good recommendations and tips like no meals, even chicken parm, come with pasta. Come on now. I decided on pasta with meatballs, by adding the meatball appetizer to the pomodoro dish. The pasta was good, but the sauce was better. Meatballs were ok, but not outstanding. All three of us agreed our meals were fine but nothing special. The cocktails, especially mine, were weak and I would suggest sticking to bear/wine. For dessert, we thought we wanted the Bellini, mainly for the cotton candy, but the server quickly changed our order to the Amber cake. Our cake slice was huge and more than enough for all of us. It was the highlight of the meal. Service was hot and cold, which was very hard to understand since the dining room wasn't busy. We waited a long time for drinks and even longer for the bill. Overall, three stars. There's too many other places in Vegas to visit.
