Mr. Ginos Restaurant & Bar

Neat place, l love the plants all around, and cozy ambiance. Really really delicious Italian pizza, 🍕 l recommend trying it even if you ate pizza the night before!! Small entree fresh salad with blue cheese sauce is enough. And tried the chicken carbonara which was good, needed some extra salt. Geneva was our server and we enjoyed having her. Also the fact that you can walk to the hotel Nevada just across the street is so cool. Prices are considerate expensive for locals but you can still share a meal. I will definitely come back to try more. 😀

I Had a wonderful dinner here Sunday night early August 2023. I had the chicken arribiata, a glass of their house. Red blend wine and a dinner salad with dinner. The soft piano jazz playing in the background was perfect. My server was very attentive. I recommend this to you if you want a wonderful dinner whether you're alone or with a companion. Prices went from about $16 for sandwiches up to I think that the tropical salmon entree was $30, the halibut a bit more. Mine was 22, The glass of wine was seven bucks. All in all, a really good price for the quality of the food atmosphere and service.

Probably the WORST dining experience I have ever had. The steak was undercooked and very poor quality, I couldn't even cut it with a steak knife. Completely inedible. My wife’s pasta was disgusting. She got food poisoning from this place. The waitress pretty much ignored us. When I tried to send my steak back because the quality was so poor, the manager actually tried to argue with me. I wish I had taken a picture of this slop. It was obvious whoever cooked it had no idea what they were doing. AVOID AVOID AVOID. we ended up going to loves and got gas station sandwiches. Much better than the slop they were serving at this place.

Roger Jr took care of us. We were never without! Anything we asked for, he got before I realized! The kids ordered chicken alfredo, we got the porterhouse (perfect medium rare) and the seafood Mediterranean! Drinks were fast food was amazing! Definitely will be back next time we come through!

I didn't expect to find a nice Italian restaurant in Ely Nevada but this place was. The Shrimp Scampi was amazing. The drinks were pleasantly strong. The Cheesecake for desert was alright and I only say that because it came with a side of preserves. As for presentation that was a bit awkward. Food was great otherwise. But the atmosphere was absolutely ruined by the bar in the other room. Instead of enjoying a nice $80 meal with some calm jazz music. That was all drowned out by the booming music and rowdy locals playing pool. I felt bad for the other patrons and especially the family having to tell their kids and grandparents to ignore the obscenities being howled out from the bar. So maybe this place needs to keep things a little quieter until the restaurant closes. Put value behind the fancy restaurant people are paying good money for. I probably would have had a better dining experience if I'd shown up during daylight hours. Again, the food was good but the atmosphere was trash. It was a bar and restaurant, not the other way around.

We really enjoyed our dinner. My husband had the chicken carbona and I had the spicy peppers and sausage. Both were excellent, and far too much for us to eat. The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was interesting. There are lots of cool things on the wall.

We ordered the chicken tetrazzini and chicken pasta Mediterranean. Both were delicious and we would order them again. Service is friendly and prompt. We recommend Mr Gino’s if you are in town and need a sit down meal and beautiful service

Great background music. Food good. Martinis were $18. Ridiculous. Wine reasonable. Roger was a great waiter & bartender. Wouldn’t order a martini again. Altho Roger made it perfect. But no martini is worth $18.

Don't be fooled by all the neon outside, or by the fact it's squeezed between two casinos and across the street from another. This place stands alone. A big, high-ceiling room divided in some places by partitions, a smattering of booths, tables, and yes a collection of bistro tables in the back. Creatively (wildly) decorated with vintage signs (did I mention it's an Italian place?), plants, doors, windows, etc. You won't find this type of place or decor for 100 miles. There's a lively bar adjoining it with a dance floor and music, and the combination of Italian dinner music and rap coming from the bar was novel, but interesting and fun. But it's the food dummy that made this place so special. We both had typical Italian salads and entrees. All were made to perfection. Add a glass or two of wine (if you're a wine lover embrace this place because there aren't too many other places in town that serve any wine but the pink stuff) and it was the perfect Italian dinner. The server was kind of eclectic but was funny and attentive. It's a little pricy compared to other places in Ely, at about $50 per person for a salad, entree and a couple drinks but worth it. They do have several salad or sandwich options too if you're more budget conscious. If you're just traveling through or staying nearby to enjoy the plentiful outdoor adventure in the area this is a respite taste of a big city restaurant in a small western town. Don't miss it.

Chicken Parmesan, and the chicken Alfredo were both excellent! The salad was fresh with homemade croutons delicious. Relatively speaking they give you nice size portions! Tasted very fresh and there was a beautiful blend of herbs ! Be sure to stop by and see their menu don't go by the one online it's not accurate. Enjoy their wonderful ambience which I will do next time I'm in town. Thank you for the great serviceand delicious dinners !

Ely is an interesting little town, limited options but enough to satisfy. We decided to try out this little Italian tonight on the Main Street. The ambiance and vibe was great with a modern Italian feel and nice decor! We were immediately sat at a side booth type table and brought waters and menus. I ordered the Angel Hair Primavera with no mushrooms and Dave tried ordering an 8oz sirloin but the waiter said they were out of steaks so he decided on the lasagna. Before the entrees arrived, we received starter salads which was nice! Food came out in reasonable time. Dave liked his lasagna (that came with a little piece of garlic bread) I was not a fan of my pasta. It looked really good upon arrival but the flavor was pretty gross to me. It came with a lemon wedge, which I did not squeeze because it just wouldn't have tasted right.... The flavor is hard to describe, kind of like lemon and the smell of dirty feet/socks! I tried eating what I could but could not even eat half - the garlic bread was really good though. I would recommend this place, but DO NOT order the pasta dish I did!

Food was great. Very tasty. Loved the atmosphere and the service was terrific! Unexpected in a relatively small town.

We had the best experience here, the food was great and the our server, Roger was fun and entertaining. He had some good suggestions and we enjoyed our evening. If you haven't been here then you should definitely try this place !!! Very good!!

Interesting spot in the old part of town. Arrived at 1900 on a Friday and most of the tables were full so I sat at the bar. If you're going alone sitting in the bar is not a great idea there's nothing to do. No TV the bartender is actually a server. The server recommended Tuscan chicken and it was excellent. Very juicy with a cheesy sauce with vegetables and vegetables themselves were crisp but not overcooked. The salad was 99% iceberg which is not my favorite and a sprig of romaine with a way below average Italian dressing. Parking is anywhere around the building. It was easy, I didn't go to the restroom so I can't tell you about it.

Good Italian food. Nice ambiance. Nice date spot. Would recommend for a nicer dinner joint in town

Best Italian I have had in a long time, highly recommend. Staff was friendly and took great care of us

Sadly no real Italian flavors at all. Spaghetti and meatballs was very weak in flavor. Meat sauce was watery and just no real Italian sauce flavor. Meatballs were tough and not fresh, where of where is the classic flavor? Also in the meat sauce was fatty chewy flubby un-edible bits. Not even some fresh parmesean cheese grated table side. How could spaghetti and meat sauce be lower flavor than from a store bought jar? Chicken Ceasar salad is iceberg lettuce, not romaine. Pizza came out nice and hot, but why no Italian flavors? I only liked a small bite of maybe considered a breadstick? It was the size of a small tiny fruit pie, but it was Hollow and quite good. Restaurant got busy in downtown Ely and service was lacking on a Friday night dinner time. No refills of our iced tea, basic service. No straw for drinks, no iced tea spoon to stir the sugar and lemon. A bus person sat the entire room and provided the only true customer service and acknowledgment of new entering diners. I wish the food was better, where is the Italian flavors?

The staff seemed nice but everything took to long! My main issue though was that the ribeye i ordered was not a ribeye! I ordered the 16oz pan seared ribeye. Veggies were cold, red potatoes were meh, and did i mention it wasn't a ribeye! The restaurant did not seem busy, but order was definitely around an hour wait. I also ordered the breaded mushrooms and that never showed up. Luckily it never showed up on the bill. Figure a small town would be welcoming, but it was unlike any other experience. I will not be coming back!

Mr G's Italian Restaurant was a nice surprise when we dined there last night. It has a cozy, intimate atmosphere, plays good music, good service, and I loved our service by Marcus. Best dining experience I've had in Ely, Nevada. My food was delicious! I would highly recommend.

We ate at Mr. Gino's while in town for travel. It's a quaint Italian restaurant with fun eclectic decor. The staff was friendly and very efficient. We had 2 pasta meals that were delicious. They came with a dinner salad and the most yummy bread! We asked for extra bread and they brought us a basket. I would recommend Mr. Gino's when in Ely!

Wow! I've been coming to Ely for the past 8 years and have always experienced the same restaurants. This time my family and I decided to try something different. So we placed a phone order for pick up. Thank goodness for Yelp because I was in the mood for a good pizza and Mr. Gino's popped up. I had no idea Ely had a Italian restaurant. Even better it was a Sunday night and they were open late compared to all the other restaurants around town. They have a lot of items on their menu. Everything sounded delicious but I was really in the mood for a pizza and some chicken fingers. They didn't offer chicken fingers on the regular menu but they did have them on the kids menu. Which to be honest with you was the perfect amount for my husband and I to share. They came with french fries and we ask for ranch on the side and buffalo sauce. The pizza was cooked to perfection it was crispy and not soggy. We asked for pepperoni with half jalapeño and it came out perfect!! When I went in to pick up our order I was surprised at how nice the restaurant was decorated. The ambience was nice, the lights were dim and it looks like a cute date night spot. The bar was not open but it looks like they had a little lounge area off to the side of the register. In the back of the restaurant you can see the kitchen. The restaurant looked very clean. Thank you for the awesome experience. The food was amazing and the staff was wonderful. Every person I delta was very nice. I will say the prices were a little pricy so don't be surprised, it's worth it.

Stop here every time I'm in town . Best place in ely for dinner . Fast friendly service . Excellent food .

To celebrate my 65th (!) birthday, Gayle and I drove the "Loneliest Road in America" as far as Ely. Once we arrived, we checked into the local Holiday Inn Express, enjoyed a welcome drink at the Prospector Casino next door, and then proceeded to look for a nice place to eat. We also brought we us a 2007 Audelssa Cabernet Sauvignon that we had been saving for a special occasion. Looking for restaurants in Ely was a bit problematic as some that were listed had closed or restricted their hours. Mexican food was popular and there was a decent looking steak place, but neither seemed appealing at that time. We finally chose Mr. Gino's based on strong reviews and a desire to try an Italian option. We then made reservations, although that probably wasn't necessary. We parked on the street nearby, arrived at the restaurant and were seated quickly at a nice table with a view of the room. The corkage fee was a reasonable $20 and our server for the evening (Roger Jr.) was fantastic. Gayle ordered the Seafood Scampi, while I chose the Spaghetti Frutti di Mar. Both dishes were amazing, with Gayle specifically complimenting the amazing scallops and me losing myself in the seafood medley within the delicious and spicy red sauce. The Audelssa was a perfect complement to our meal, and it was quite a treat to actually experience fine dining since we can't remember. A restaurant of this quality in small town Nevada (~4000) was quite a pleasant surprise and one we would happily repeat if and when we return to Ely. Thank You Mr. Gino's for such a wonderful birthday and travel experience.

Very nice restaurant and really good customer service. The food was great quality and spending time with friends enjoying the atmosphere was a perfect evening.

We had pulled into town after driving "forever" and went across the street to get Asian food but it was take out only so we went down the street to Mr Ginos. What a nice surprise, the staff was friendly, the atmostphere was nice (but a little loud for casual conversation) The waiter was nice the food was delicious.

Stayed at a hotel across the street and saw this out my window. Food and service were good. quiet atmosphere. Worth a stop.

Ordered take out and waited 45 minutes longer than the scheduled pick up time. Not only that, but our order was missing several things, and food was made poorly and carelessly. Service was extremely slow, and food is ridiculously overpriced. Do not recommend, we will not be returning.

Italian food this good has absolutely no business existing in a town of 4000 people deep in rural Nevada. The pasta was cooked beautifully, the sauce was fantastic, the portions were ample, and the service was very friendly and prompt (the owner's brother was our waiter and he was great). It feels like an old school east coast Italian restaurant, and the food absolutely lives up to that ambience. If I ever come through Ely again, this will be my go-to place to eat.

I've been to alot of Italian restaurants over the years. Wow!!! I'm beyond impressed with these authentic dishes and the 5 star service. The waiter Roger is 5 star up and way beyond any server. His professional manner and knowledge of the menu. He knew exactly the dining experience I was looking for. The food was fresh to order everything was served seamless and coursed out to perfection. Look for forward to another dining experience! Request Roger's section you truly will be impressed.

A pleasant surprise. We ate dinner here while traveling through. Didn't quite know what to expect but based on other reviews we decided to give it a try...glad we did. The portion sizes were very generous and the flavors were delicious. We had pasta primavera and shrimp arribbiata. Both were excellent. The service was very good and the setting was nice. The prices were reasonable and I would definitely come back when I come through if time permits.

Wow, and that is an understatement. This place blew me away. Service was great. The young server we had was unreal. Food was excellent. Great flavor. Even greater taste. If your in Ely you need to check this place out. Felix was our server and he made our night.

The food was really good we're just passing through town for the night and stoped in only thing that could have been better was the service by our waiter asked for a Roy Rodger's but never was brought to the table he was more focused on his phone and the bus boy was doing the waiters job for him instead so props to him other than that very nice play will be back

Great little spot for a Sunday evening dinner as we were passing through town. Service was great and food was delicious. Kids enjoyed cheese pizzas. The chicken Marsala was tasty and my husband enjoyed the ribeye. We'll definitely come back next time we're in town.

It was a Thursday night and we arrived at 6:30 and were immediately seated. Parking is easy, street parking and parking lots. Soon our server greeted us and took drink orders. Their wine selection is limited with a variety of house wines covering most varieties. The selections we had, Chardonnay, Cab, Merlot, were good. We were taking our time and our server timed accordingly. We were pleased with our selections, dinner included a salad and bread sticks. The bread sticks are unusual, more a bread than a stick and very tasty. We had Lasagne, Cannelloni, Chicken Parmigiana with pasta and meat sauce. Meals were delicious and cooked very well. We were pleasantly surprised with finding a good Italian restaurant and reasonably priced, in remote Ely. Thanks fellow Yelpers for recommending this place!

It was slow Sunday night. It took 15 minutes before we were offered water. When the waiter finally showed up, it had been 25 minutes to order. Terrible service. There's a steakhouse behind them if you want another close option.

We were looking for a place to have a nice Italian meal while in Ely and this seemed to be the only place in town to find one. Ely is a dusty, but cute, throwback town along the Loneliest Road in America so we weren't sure what to expect at Mr. Gino's. From the outside, you can see it was once a place called Mr. G's Villa and that it must have been a glitzy place back in the day. We were pleasantly surprised when we walked in to hear smooth jazz in the background in an overall congenial atmosphere instead of something matching the tired facade that greets you on the street. A young waiter immediately greeted us and we were seated at an available booth. I wish I had gotten this young man's name - he really made our night extra enjoyable with his happy demeanor. When our salads arrived, I was a little concerned about what to expect of the rest of our meals because they were very small. However, my husband's Chicken Parmesan and my Angel Hair Primavera were plentiful and delicious! I also had a very generous pour of their house cabernet sauvignon! If we are ever back in Ely, we would definitely go back.

Service was horrific. After waiting an hour for our food to be served and watching four other groups come in, be served, and finish their meals, we asked about where our order was. We were told another 10-15 minutes. No attempt was made to make things right for us, so we paid for our wine and left before ever seeing our food. Cannot recommend this place due to the slow service and lack of care exhibited by the blue-haired waiter.

Who would have thought in Ely NV you'd find the best Italian Food I've had in a long time this is a MUST when passing through Ely NV! I was married to a 100% Italiano and he and his family can cook so I know Italian food

A friend and I went to Ely to see my mother and he wanted to take her to dinner. Mr. G's is a hidden treasure and I hope the locals realize what a gem they have. We had a reservation (made it online) and went early for a before dinner cocktail. The young man who was tending bar was professional, friendly and knew exactly what he was serving and made a perfect lemon drop for me. The restaurant atmosphere is subtly elegant. The seating options I'm sure will accommodate a larger dinner party. The food, what does one say that can describe the options, the presentation and oh my the flavor. We each ordered something different and each of us had absolutely no complaints. Having been to other restaurants including the "family" ones in Ely I was thrilled to have found somewhere that understands dinner can be and should be a symphony for the tastebuds and a time to enjoy the food and atmosphere right down to the music in the background. Thank you to the chef and staff at Mr. G's for everything. And when you visit Ely this is a must go place, you'll think you've left highway 50 and traveled to a lost paradise. If you live in the Ely area, make this your date night favorite.

Absolutely amazing Italian food. Ordered the chicken pasta Mediterranean. Freaking delicious! I'm so glad we came here. Kid loved their pizza.

This is the one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever dined in. We ordered the Di Mare Sweet and Sour Platter, and we substituted the scallops with lobster in the plate. It was delicious and plenty for the two of us. We also had their cannoli for dessert. Their service was great as well. If we ever come back to Ely again, we would definitely have a meal in this restaurant again.

Very good Lasagna. Enough for 3 people. Breadsticks were tasty. Nice ambiance. Pricey though. Good service.

A nice place, warm atmosphere, pleasant staff, quick food received, and good attention paid to customers. Seems like a local place that if you want acceptable food, then this will work for you. It's a small town. My Shrimp Carbonara was ok, sauce a little thin, flavor a little dull, the shrimp tasted "fishy" but maybe I should have had lasagna. My salad was a nice plate, smaller than most, and lettuce was not as fresh, but again, acceptable. Friends recommended that I try it and maybe it was an off night, better than fast food. I'll give them a 2nd chance.

First time To visit this restaurant! It was excellent! I had seafood scampi and worth it! Atmosphere was great, service great, waitress great n friendly! Menu has variety, prices good! Highly recommend! They could upgrade their napkins! Thin paper crap!

It's really exciting to find a good Italian restaurant and even more excited is such a small town far from most places. Recommend by a work colleague, Mr. G's was elegant and beautiful. We were greeted and seated and with a great wine we ordered. Very good and delicious dishes. Stuffed Chicken Florentine with mixed broccoli and squash with roasted potatoes. Also Sea Food Linguine. Very tasty!

Drove in from Salt Lake City on a Friday night, town was empty. Only a few other people in the restaurant. Food was phenomenal, staff was great, inclined to come back to Ely soon just for this. Get the Cannelloni!

Great Italian food. Great service from Roger. If you like Italian food this is the place to come in Ely NV.

This place was a bear to find. The sign above the place was burned out and it gives a different name on the door. Not such a good start. However, this place just has to have the best food in town. Interestingly, we had to work to get drinks and wine with dinner, but when we did, they did a great job. The "wine" list may just be several generic names, but the "Chianti" was not some jug wine. It was quite good and went well with the food. I can tell the whole COVID thing has thrown the bar part for a loop. My wife got her drink just fine. I asked for a Manhattan and asked what choices I had for a top shelf drink. They said they had some Booker's. Great. When it came, it was pretty small and even though it was in a cocktail glass, there was some ice placed in it as though it was kind of on the rocks. Weird. When I tasted it, it was strong, and I didn't taste any real sweet vermouth flavor, or bitters. The drink was made by our server, and I asked what was in it, and he said the right things. I was thrown off. I'm going through this because it has an interesting ending. This appears to be a pretty standard red sauce Italian joint. In Ely, you only expect so much. Then, they started bringing the food. The calamari appetizer was very lightly breaded and not overcooked at all. It was a pleasure. The pasta dishes were properly al dente. The shrimp never overcooked. Everything was a pleasure. The real treat was dessert. They had cannolis. These were not huge things that are getting soggy. They don't stuff them with ice cream. This is a proper cannoli. I don't think I've had one of those since being in Manhattan, and that's been years. It was a perfect end to a meal. But it got better. I just couldn't let the Manhattan thing go. I asked if he used high proof Bourbon instead of regular Bourbon. He said he wasn't sure. It was the end of the bottle and he went over to the bar and looked. I had almost fogotten Booker's is all cask strength. I have some at home, and it's strong. Sure enough, it's 126 proof. That will throw off any drink. It may not have tasted standard, but it was very good. It was a $90 a bottle Bourbon. I'd come back in a second. They are a treasure.

-The service and ambience were great -Dress is casual and very tourist friendly -All the dressings are homemade and the Caesar and Balsamic dressings were on point. -Bruschetta tasted fresh with smooth tangy balsamic glaze over a fresh piece of mozzarella (a twist on a classic dish) -The shrimp carbonara was creamy and delicious -Food portions are a good size -15% military discount with ID

If you enjoy true Italian dining experiences, go somewhere else. The food quality is very poor and undercooked. The wait times are over a hour, and the price is out of this world.

A wonderful surprise this place termed out to be. Great service and equally nice fare. Enjoy yourself, relax and mangiare.

Got to go orders. Excellent shrimp scampi & lasagna....seriously in Ely! It is very hard to find since it's inside a hotel in a congested block with no sign.

Chicken Tetrazzini was really delicious! The mushrooms very juicy and plump. The Alfredo Sauce was quite smooth and tasty. They were out of the minestrone soup, which was disappointing, but the dinner salad was fresh and crisp. Desserts - yummy cheesecake and tiramisu.

Very good meal, we enjoyed the chicken Marsala with fettuccine Alfredo and a flatbread pizza. Definitely recommend if you're in Ely and wanting Italian food.

We just arrived in town around 9pm on a Sunday night after driving 8 hours through rain, snow, wind, and more rain. I was sure our food options would be bleak. Enter: Mr. G's. It was open and even though we walked in less than an hour before close and were the only table, they could not have been nicer. We never felt rushed or like an inconvenience. The food was EXCELLENT. My husband's chicken caesar salad was fresh and tasty, as was my side salad. But for me, the showstopper was their gluten free pizza. I was shocked to find anything GF in Ely, tbh. But Mr. G's had GF pizza AND pasta. And you know how Udi's frozen crusts are tiny? Like nowhere near the size of a regular personal pizza? This was the opposite. It was a bit larger than 12" and packed with super fresh toppings. I think the crust was homemade based on the size, shape, flavor, and how perfectly it crisped up. SO GOOD. I forgot to take a picture before I dug in but here's a pic. The whole meal was delicious and very reasonably priced for the quality, and both the service and the ambiance were outstanding. Highly recommend.

Yummy food!! Service was very friendly and prompt. Definitely recommend coming here to all. I think they are struggling for staff but doing an amazing job. I sure hope the locals show up. It is in the mist of the casino area, easy parking. Bar looks like it could be a great place to hang out but low on wine, craft beer right now. 2 beautiful pool tables. I wish them amazing luck in the future-their food is wonderful, had a glass of house merlot and it was perfect!

What a delight! Treated like family the minute you walk in the door. Ambiance was beautiful. Background music enhanced the fine meal. The salad was bright, fresh and super tasty. The main dish ( Mediterranean Sea food pasta thingie) was stupendous. The white wine sauce was a perfect balance of flavor. The waitress was very attentive. We will be return customers. What a delight.!

I am eating here a little after 6pm on a Sunday night. This restaurant doesn't stand out at night because its sign doesn't light up, but at the moment there are 5-10 other diners here. I tried the jailhouse restaurant, but it was closed. I ordered the cheese sticks ($8.99) as an appetizer, and you get 8 rather small sticks. I then ordered the lasagna for around $15. Everything tasted ok, but nothing really stood out. $30 with tip for a meal isn't too bad, and the place is cozy, but the food could've been warmer and there could've been better dessert options.
