Ristorante Italiano

This hidden gem is located inside the Pass Casino. I dont know who Tommy is in the kitchen, but he is working some serious Italian magic! The bread basket was amazing, I could have eaten just that and been extremely happy. We went with both shrimp and chicken alfredo. I dont know where the recipe for the alfredo came from, but if they ever sell it sign me up for a case! My shrimp alfredo came with 5 large shrimp, cooked to perfection! My date had the Minestrone soup and said its was the best he had in as long as he can remember. We took desert to go, but I am sure it's just as amazing as the food. Saving the best for last, our server Brandon. This guy was top notch! From the moment we sat down till we left he was nothing but amazing, this is the kind of service you pay for. On a scale of 1 to 10 he gets a 15. I am surprised this place goes so unnoticed. A good casino restaurant is hard to come by, but if you want Italian magic go visit this place, you will not be sorry.

I wasn't expecting amazing but we know we won't be back. I'm happy they have sooo many 5⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews, but nothing showed us that.. The basic tomato sauce was "odd". Not quite spicy or tomatoey, just odd. The table bread; which we waited long for, was only okay. The Eggplant was cut waaayy too thick. The key is thin, fried slices. The Lasagne wasn't great, just okay? No real atmosphere to speak of? I'm unsure why there is a very visibly torn bench in the restaurant. Our waitress was sweet. No clue why some other guy, not the Host came over 2x. He didn't introduce himself. He just wanted to know if she was basically "doing" her job?

Don’t sleep on this place, very flavorful and the staff is very friendly. I had the pork chops. The appetizer were also amazing!!

Great service and nice small atmosphere. Prices were super reasonable and refreshing to not spend $50 a person on lunch. We used a Groupon which made it even better. Faint smell of smoke from the casino but overall very clean establishment. Bbq Burger and prime rib were great.

Restaurants in Italiano is one of the best restaurants in Henderson. Jennifer is absolutely amazing. Erika is by far the best waitress we’ve ever had. The food is to die for my favorite is the branzino fish! The chef definitely knows what he is doing here. Everything is reasonably price definitely worth every penny, you will spend here

This restaurant is great. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic! The price was good and the atmosphere also. The minestrone soup was delicious! The Italian cream soda and the pistachio cheese cake were also delicious!

Well we did it, we found a hidden gem! This place was fantastic! We went before the comedy show expecting a regular type italian restaurant. There was nothing regular about this place. The service was top notch from the moment we walked in. We sat down and ordered the assortment of anti pasta and arugula salad. After we ordered our entrées of salmon with wild mushroom risotto (dreaming about having again asap!) and lasagna. With each new dish that was brought out I was awed! The food was tasty, fresh, and plated beautifully. We very rarely order dessert but we had to this time, a gorgeous tiramisu and cheesecake rounded out the perfect meal. We love eating out and let me tell you this place is on par with the big casinos as far a quality goes, with a small time casino price. We are looking forward to our next trip and trying the whole menu!

The waiter was extremely determined to make us happy. Sometimes the wife can be a bit picky, but he made certain she enjoyed her experience. My chicken Angelo was a 9 out of 10! My wife was raving to me about the way her filet medallions were perfectly cooked. I really enjoyed dinner. Highly recommend.

Love this little place always amazing service and good food. Must try on water street

Absolutely delicious, quiet, and cozy. Hayla was absolutely a delight for a server! Food came out fast and hot and dessert was so good.

My fiancé found this place while searching on Yelp for Italian food and decided to try it out. We ended up loving this place and will be back. This place is such a local gem. The food was good. We had an espresso martini as well while here. It was pretty decent. The customer service we received from the host and our waiter was great. This is a small place located in the casino which we were pleasantly surprised by. It is a cute restaurant that feels cozy and warm inside. I love the booth seating they have as well.

Needed a last minute Reservation for Valentine's Day and was pleasantly surprised by Ristorante Italiano. The only negative was having to walk through the smoky casino to get there. And the restaurant is connected/inside the casino so the smoke lingers a bit before you are able to get into the atmosphere/wine/food/etc. Food and service were top notch. Waitress super attentive and perceptive(she ordered our dessert without us having to ask) We ordered the bruschetta for an app, maybe the best we've ever had. It was warm, crispy, flavorful. Due to Ash Wednesday we didn't try any meat related dishes. But had the shrimp scampi(jumbo shrimp in an amazing wine sauce) and lobster ravioli (in a crab sauce. Decadent and delicious). Would definitely go back.

This is my 3rd time coming to dine here. I stumbled across this restaurant through a Groupon. The first time I came here I had the Bruschetta for an appetizer. The bread was super soft and perfectly toasted and had a nice amount of Tomatoes and Parmesan cheese with a balsamic glaze. I also had the Caesar salad. It was a typical Caesar salad. It had A nice amount of dressing. It was very good. For the main course I had the Shrimp Scampi. The shrimp scampi was amazing! It was so flavorful and It had the perfect amount of scampi sauce to dunk bread in. It was honestly the best shrimp scampi I ever had in Vegas. They give you warm bread at the table with butter and also olive oil & balsamic vinegar. Tip: Make sure you ask for extra bread if you order the Shrimp Scampi! After dining here that first time me and my husband came back that same month. So for Mother's Day yesterday I told my family that I wanted the Shrimp scampi for dinner lol! Glad we came the food was all amazing and my girls enjoyed it as well. Only thing was one of my daughter's ordered the Caesar Salad with grilled as her main course. She said the chicken was a little dry, but the salad was very good. Service was great all three times that I've come. Each time I've come I've made reservations and when I arrived we were seated immediately. Our waiters were very attentive and made sure our water was filled at all times. The ambiance is very nice. Dim lighting, booth tables and regular tables as well. They do accommodate larger groups. It's casual, but very nice! I look forward to continuing to come back! Im also open to trying something different on the menu the next time I come back :) Oh and this restaurant is located in Downtown Henderson in The Pass Casino. Plenty of parking options.

Delizioso. Love, love, LOVE this *hidden gem* nestled inside The Pass Casino on Water Street. Sometimes you discover restaurants thanks in part to the Groupon gods -- I'm so grateful for the stellar deal and to finding a new favorite Italian spot off the beaten path. First off, the service was awesome. They are only open Thursday through Sunday. We dined in kind of late on a Saturday, but Vladimir treated us no differently. He was a kind gentleman, giving us his recommendations as it was our first time there. We started with the CALAMARI FRITTI, which was slightly spicy with jalapeño garnishing. I'd recommend this. We were also given complimentary bread with oil and balsamic vinegar. Honestly, the bread was my least favorite part of the meal, but hey, it's free. For main entrees, we got the LOBSTER RAVIOLI, so rich in every bite; and the CHICKEN FETTUCINE ALFREDO. What I liked is the perfect portioning. For dessert, we shared the SPUMONI ice cream. Trust me, it's shareable. Overall, RISTORANTE ITALIANO is a quiet place with great Italian food at an AFFORDABLE price! Even with rising cost of living and inflation affecting everyone, I was surprised see their menu so reasonable priced. Please don't change! Thank you for a great time. As Vladimir said, we're family now. We'll be back!

Ordered through Grubhub. Food (lasagna and pasta with white sauce) was dry, cold and not flavorful. Chicken with the pasta was burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. Caprese salad was gross, mozzarella was dry, basil was cut in little pieces except for the top of the basil plant thrown on it, vinegar was sparse.

Inside the Pass Casino is this nice little upscale Italian restaurant. Menu choices include pasta, chicken, steak and salmon. I had the short ribs over pasta. The sauce had a heavy tomato base with a nice subtle flavor. The three short-ribs were tender and flavorful. There was more than I could eat in one sitting so it will be leftovers for dinner tomorrow. My partner had the salmon and risotto with a side of brandy mushrooms. He really enjoyed it although he found it a bit salty for his taste. I thought the prices were good, especially with a Groupon. Menu prices are $20 to $40 for a nice variety of choices. Service was excellent with good teamwork. A nice dinner out. RECOMMENDED

So impressive how they took care of a full restaurant with a small crew! Chris, Vladimir and team made sure we were well taken care of. Thank you all! The food was decent, filling, nothing to complain about. The tiramisu was amazing! We will be back whenever we are in the area!

I couldn't get a same day reservation at Azzurra Cocina so we decided to try here. The other reviews were really good. The only thing I can guess is anyone who wrote a 5 star review has never eaten good Italian food. I wanted to like it and believe that the old El Dorado Casino has been upgraded since it's now The Pass Casino, but, sadly, it's not. Not much has changed at all. It is small and quiet, which was a plus, and our waitress was on top of things, so that's where the 2 stars comes from. The bruschetta was very tasty, except the bread was soaked, actually dripping, with oil. There was a puddle of oil under the bruschetta. The baked ziti was flavorless and served in a cast iron dish which imparted a metallic taste to the food. The sauce was lacking seasoning, the sausage was so mild as to be tasteless and I have no idea what was in the meatball it was so bland. My wife had the chicken marsala. With the exception of the cast iron dish, the comments are about the same; bland and flavorless. We won't be going back and I do not recommend eating there.

Great service and nice small atmosphere. Prices were super reasonable and refreshing to not spend $50 a person on lunch. We used a Groupon which made it even better. Faint smell of smoke from the casino but overall very clean establishment. Bbq Burger and prime rib were great.

Food was to die for we had house salad Veal Marsala and tiramisu and Italian lemon cake. Will go back for sure. Service was exceptional

Really good food. Really good service. Great feel. Appreciated the service. And the ambiance of the place was great. Could have used a little music though.

We came here to celebrate my brother's birthday last night. The food was amazing, we started off with the calamari which had a nice spicy aioli that I really enjoyed. Our mains were Chicken Marsala and Chicken Parmesan. I had the Marsala which was great but realized I enjoyed the Parmesan a little better, so next time I eat here, I'll be ordering that. They serve bread to start and we had an amazing cheesecake for dessert. I left feeling overly content, but when I go out I usually like to try every part of a menu. If you frequent water street and the surrounding areas, I recommend coming here. The service was great they kept our drinks full and we never felt like we were looking for someone to help us as they were there when needed.

The restaurant itself has a beautiful atmosphere. The menu has recently been updated. Now the cafe next door closes on weekend evenings so this restaurant has an updated menu with half Italian selections and half cafe selections. That was a bit of a turnoff. The service was fair, but it was fairly busy. I'd rate the food 5/10, service 7/10 and value 6/10.

The food, service and atmosphere here is outstanding! Took my son and daughter in law out for dinner here. We had a comfy booth with a white table cloth, old school charm. I wasn't in the mood for Italian food so I ordered the 8 oz prime rib. I haven't had such a good piece of beef cooked to perfection in a very long time! It was served with fresh green beans and rice pilaf. The stuffed mushrooms, lobster ravioli and meatballs and spaghetti were enjoyed by my family. The huge piece of tiramisu and brownie sundae looked amazing. Our waitress was so much fun, we really enjoyed pleasant banter with her. We will definitely be back again and again!

Food was good; had chicken dishes; service was very good would recommend especially with Groupon; potatoes were kind of strange as they seemed overcooked and burnt

So, we have out of town friends visiting & saw on news that the Eldorado had been remodeled, so we figured to try out the new Italian restaurant. There was eight in our party & we knew we'd have to be separated. The hostess Audrey, got us as close as possible, considering "social distance" rules. Thank you Audrey! Vladimir was our waiter & did a great job. First he explained the items on the menu, took our drink order & brought a basket of different bread slices, accompanied by a dip of olive oil & balsamic vinegar. I ordered the pork chop dinner & Oh. My. God! It was a damn good meal! The thickest chop I've ever seen! Juicy, tender & very flavorful. It arrived with asparagus & roasted potatoes, but the chop was the star of the show. The Mrs ordered cheese ravioli that came to the table piping hot, covered in a creamy vodka sauce. She also ordered the anti pasta salad that was big enough to share with the whole table. Delicious! Our friends ordered chicken parmigiana, lasagna & more & each said their meals were just great. For desert, our table shared a large chunk of tiramisu. Again, it was just downright tasty. The Mrs & I aren't much on gambling but, we will be back to The Pass & have another meal at the Ristorante & I HIGHLY recommend it to you to try. Get the pork chop! A well deserved five stars!

Excellent service and food! We also appreciate when the chef comes out to speak with us and how we enjoyed our meal.

Great lasagna! We went out and were looking for an Italian restaurant that was close by and had good food. This place we were not sure of, but it turned out to be amazing! Great service too, very attentive and kind servers.

Our experience here exceeded our expectations. The service was awesome. Rachel is a great server and the rest of the staff was helpful and friendly. We got the chicken parmigiana, baked ziti, and calamari to start. Every dish was delicious. We will definitely be returning. The portions are generous.

By far the worst italian food I've ever had. Noodles overdone, pasta sauce is not suppose to be a paste, and its suppose to have seasoning. Also very little on the noodle. Veal, was so so. Shrimp over cooked. Grouper came out burnt. One waitress, said we've had complaints but when they taste it they see it is delicious. I call BS, fish is not suppose to be burnt and we've eaten alot of grouper in okinawa. Second one they brought was better but not the greatest. Only good part was bread and our waitress was good. This casino has gone down hill ever since sold to the pass.

Celebration tonight for spouses birthday. Great service by Chris. Place was busy for a Sunday. Started off with calamari and stuffed mushrooms. Chicken marsala and lobster ravioli for entrées. Food was delicious and nice portions. Dessert was spumoni sundaes and cheesecake for the bday dessert. Service is on point. Chef Jay comes out and says hi. Overall a wonderful dinner Celebration. Price is unbelievable and so reasonable. Dinner, desserts, cocktails two appetizers 74.00 with tax. Bargain. I recommend you get a Groupon. Great way to dine like a rockstar and not spend a lot.

The food was delicious, the service was excellent. Thank you for a lovely dinner in a relaxing dining room.

I don't understand why everyone raves about this place and why reservations are so hard to get some times. I finally tried this place for the first time after many years of hearing about it. The food was awful! Both the meatballs and the chicken parm were burnt on the bottom, the chicken was dry and chewy, I'm guessing it was from the day before. The tomato sauce had a way too much oregano. So disappointed!!

We were looking for some place to eat at 7pm on a Sunday and nothing was sounding good. Did a quick search and ended up settling on Ristorante Italiano. Wasn't quite sure what to expect being in a small older locals casino, but we were both pleasantly surprised. It's a small room which was actually part of the charm for us. It was quiet and we were able to enjoy conversations throughout our meal without having g to yell or speak loudly over music. Working in restaurants for nearly 20 years, I saw there were some misses at the start of our meal, but the quiet charm, food and over all experience more than made up for any minor missteps. The food came out quick and everything was pretty tasty. Our server Stevie was amazing. Very personable and was easily able to joke with us and other tables around us without coming off as rude or fake. I heard her mention she was the only server on, but she stayed on top of everything pretty well. The portions were great and the prices were amazing. Working on the strip for so many years, I've become used to easily spending over $100 not including tip for what usually ends up being just average at best meals and typically the place is loud and just ok. This place was a pleasant surprise that happens to be close to home, has a great atmosphere, is quiet, service was solid, food was tasty and the pricing was a nice surprise. We will definitely be back to try other times we were both looking at! Please tell Stevie she did an excellent job managing all the tables! She is an absolute asset to your team.

Who would have thought such an amazing place was hidden in this casino! Amazing service, the best we have had in a very long time! The stuffed mushrooms were the absolute show stopper! Try them! The lasagna was large and tasty! The baked ziti was like I have never had before! It was baked with large pieces of Italian sausage and meatballs and just gave it a great taste! Will be back to try more of their items!

Service is terrible walked out in 30 seconds because the host was b*tch. Smart ass they have no customers and I wonder why... service never eat here

Surprise little gem not too far from home in Henderson! Great service and great food!

We had a wonderful Valentine's dinner last night. I was presented a rose by the hostess upon arrival and we were seated immediately. The restaurant is cozy and romantic. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was presented in an appealing manner and was delicious. We begin our dinner with wine and appetizers; crisped prosciutto wrapped shrimp and ensalata caprese. I had one of the Valentine's Day dinner specials offered, seafood lasagna, which our server, Johnny, highly recommended. My fiancé had the spare ribs papardelle. Both were prepared to order, tasty and well portioned. Many thanks to our culinary services supervisor, for this special meal and festive evening.

Excellent! Downtown Henderson is nearby, they've opened new venues & it's very nice. I went to The Pass Casino to try the Italian restaurant, my sis was hearing great reviews. Wow the atmosphere is very calm & relaxed, you are not rushed, you are very well taken care of by the staff. The staff was very kind & genuinely made us feel like very valued customers. We had a wonderful experience & our meal was superb! They offer groupons, I purchased a few after our dinner because I will return! "Deliciousness"

All I can say is "wow". I never expected to get this amazing quality in the food and the service was outstanding! This Italian restaurant is inside The Pass casino in Old Town Henderson, off Water street. We ordered the calamari and brushetta for appetizers and entrees ordered were the lasagna, salmon and shrimp scampi. Entrees were perfectly cooked and desserts were absolutely delicious!!

Well we did it, we found a hidden gem! This place was fantastic! We went before the comedy show expecting a regular type italian restaurant. There was nothing regular about this place. The service was top notch from the moment we walked in. We sat down and ordered the assortment of anti pasta and arugula salad. After we ordered our entrées of salmon with wild mushroom risotto (dreaming about having again asap!) and lasagna. With each new dish that was brought out I was awed! The food was tasty, fresh, and plated beautifully. We very rarely order dessert but we had to this time, a gorgeous tiramisu and cheesecake rounded out the perfect meal. We love eating out and let me tell you this place is on par with the big casinos as far a quality goes, with a small time casino price. We are looking forward to our next trip and trying the whole menu!

This is the fourth time we go to this place, and it was wonderful. I had the linguini and clams, and my husband had the lobster ravioli. Everything was delicious; even the bread was much better! Vlad's service was excellent, and everything was speedy too. Even the check was ready quickly. We will definitely be going back soon!

We had a great dinner here- in comparison to a more modern/fancy Italian place on Water Street, this is a far better value for your money. Complimentary bread basket with two types of bread & balsamic/oil. Big, roomy both in a nice, old school dining room that reminded me of the old Bootlegger if locals remember that place. We started out with Calamari - it came with remoulade & marinara and had a cornmeal type batter that was delicious. The Calamari was so tender too- I can't recall having any Calamari that didn't have a little chew to it but this was perfect. I chose the Shrimp Scampi and received a generous portion of shrimp and a classic sauce that hit all the right flavors- lemon, garlic, butter, wine. My partner had the Baked Ziti which came with meatballs and sausage so he was pretty impressed and said his was delicious. We both had plenty of leftovers to bring home. Our only complaint is on service, that we waited a bit to get the check, but preferred that to being constantly hovered over , we had a nice leisurely meal. Wine was probably not the fanciest but at $6!!! a glass, we were pretty happy with it - just nice to go out , have a good meal and not break the bank. We spent 75% less at this place than the new place down the road and had 150% better experience.

Everything was awesome. From the staff to the food.. Was in town for a b-ball tournament. It was still open. The day before it was too late. But hurried up after the game just to make it.. Highly recommend this place.. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.. We went back to the hotel very pleased... Going to come back again..

The ambiance is very nice for a locals casino. The carpet and furniture appeared brand new. The service was very good and the staff was attentive. Sadly the good fell short of our expectations. My wife had the special which was Spaghetti Bolognese. The fettuccine noodles were quite good but the sauce was overpowering. Good sauce should be much lighter in flavor. On the positive side, the helping was huge. We had a Caesar Salad and it was, OK. Again, the portion was large. I had the Chicken Marsala. The chicken breast was pound out and very tender. The Marsala sauce was good but nothing I would have again. It was a little too thick and as I looked at it all I could do was think: "too much corn starch." It was served with grilled squash which was over cooked but had a very nice flavor. The other side a was fried cubed potatoes. They could have been good but they were overloaded with Rosemary. Honestly, it was ridiculous. I mentioned to our server and a member of he kitchen staff came out and brought me some more potatoes. They had less Rosemary, but still too much. I would recommend getting rid of the potatoes and serve some angel hair pasta. It would be a much better compliment, and, this is an Italian restaurant so you can't go wrong by server pasta. Bottom line? The service was enough to make us go back and give the place a second chance. But we'll wait a months to let them refine the menu.

We overlook this hidden gem everytime we come to the pass casino. I'm so glad we stopped ignoring it last night. The food over delivered. I had the baked ziti and my husband had the fettuccine Alfredo. Both were amazing and we took most of it home. Large portions. Our server Johnny was very attentive and professional. Although we didn't have room for dessert, the menu looked delish! The prices are very affordable! We each had a salad, an entree, a cocktail, and glass of wine for $65! Those prices just don't happen in vegas. Bonus! The chef and manager walked around talking to all the tables. Don't make a mistake and miss coming to ristorante italiano!

Our favorite Italian restaurant since we tried it for the first time last month. Fancy upscale with excellent service. The BEST Alfredo sauce, better than any I've tried. They are located inside Pass casino. A surprisingly great find, unexpected. Planning to take our adult kids here when they visit. Very impressed.

Just ate take out. Got home and the order was wrong. Called and they said we could come back and get a new order, which is considerate but we live in Boulder City. Wife had chicken Marsala, it was edible but not the best and kinda skimpy on sides. Salmon with risotto was good. Linguine with clams was below average. Bread is not on the menu to order so we expected bread with our order, like it would be in an Italian restaurant if you dined in. Hopefully we ordered on a bad night.

We really enjoyed the casual feel of this restaurant. I had the pork chop with a lovely mushroom sauce and my husband had the ribeye. Both of our entrees were prepared very well. The grade of the ribeye was closer to choice than prime but it was seasoned well and enjoyable. We had calamari and ceasar salad and I have no complaints at all about either. I noticed that the calimari was not crispy as I am used to but it was good. I loved the spicy dipping sauce. It's a plus to find good house brewed iced tea here and their tea is fresh and has a bright taste. The bread was plain but worked well for dipping in oil and balsamic. It's just nothing spectacular. Next time I would like to try an after dinner drink and a dessert. I was just too full as the portions are really a nice size. This in nice value dining.

After reading the reviews I decided to try this eatery, the service was excellent but the food was mediocre at best. starting with the bread before meal it was regular sliced bread with olive oil not what I expected, they were out of the calamari so I settled for the stuffed mushrooms, they were ok. The main course was shrimp scampi, very bland with no flavor. Overall it is a nice restaurant with comfortable seating. I thought the price point was high for what you receive

The restaurant had a classic look as if yoy had just walked into the roaring 20's. Fantastic food and great service! Will definitely come back again!

The staff here deserve 5 stars, the suffocating smell of cigarettes, however, ruined the meal and almost gave me an asthma attack. We couldn't wait to leave. The food was alright. Not amazing but definitely not bad. Honestly, the small of cigarettes may have affected how we tasted things. It's a shame because, as I said earlier, the staff is awesome here.

Food and service was excellent just wish it was a little more cooler in the restaurant

Great food, great service, kinda loud but worth it. I had short rib pasta.....huge portion. Hubs had pesto gnocchi....couldn't finish it. So good! Went to comedy club after....made a great date night! Buy a Groupon....ENJOY!

I have been coming to this restaurant since they have opened. I know the staff, the turn over of the staff, and Jay the chef. This is one of the best restaurants. The food is amazing, and the staff is also amazing. Jennifer, the front desk hostess/acting manager is wonderful. She always has a smile on her face and is willing to assist everyone. This girl goes above and beyond what her job description is. Jay the chef, is also amazing. He makes specials that are always good. HE comes out to say hello to the guests, which is a nice touch. They should do more marketing of the restaurant, because it is amazing.!! Thank you Jennifer for all that you do!

Food was outstanding as well as the service. I had the braised short rib pappardelle, and my wife had the ribeye. We also had some mozzarella wedges that were delicious. Service was perfect. It was our first time there and definitely won't be our last. Highly recommend this nice quiet spot for some delicious Italian food.

My family decided to go out for dinner tonight after an recommendation from our grandparents. We did make a reservation, and was seated promptly. The restaurant wasn't to busy for a Sunday night and they served bread with oil/ vinegar complimentary which was nice. We got the calamari for an appetizer and I really enjoyed both sauces that they had with. For main dishes I ended up getting the shrimp scampi which was amazing ,the rest of my family got Filet Mignon , ( was a little tough), Chicken Marsala (amazing) , and Chicken Parmesan(fabulous). Overall the service was attentive and the food was great for the price. We will be back if we're in the area again!
