Found this on yelp and was so glad we went in. They had live music that wasn't too loud but added to the experience, plenty of tables, fun decorations, service was great-and the food was amazing. We had the arancini balls as an appetizer, then had the duck ragu pasta, pork chop, and spicy sausage pasta. Everything was SO good. Definitely worth checking out! read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cantinetta, a newly opened Italian spot, and it's already a standout. From the moment we walked in, the experience was truly lovely--and proof that quality doesn't have to break the bank! The restaurant has clearly invested in creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. The lighting is soft, the decor is modern yet cozy. It manages to feel upscale without being stuffy, making it ideal for a date night or a nice family dinner. The space just feels nice to be in. The heart of any great Italian restaurant is the food, and Cantinetta delivers. Our main courses, I had the classic Bolognese Ragu, and the pasta was clearly house-made--al dente and incredibly flavorful. My brother raved about the traditional Carbonara. Every dish tasted like it was made with high-quality ingredients and genuine care. This is good quality food, plain and simple. Beyond the great food, the service was truly exemplary. Our server, Andrew, was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and struck the perfect balance of being present without hovering. They were friendly and efficient, making the experience seamless. The best part? The total bill was surprisingly reasonable! Given the quality of the food, the sophisticated setting, and the excellent service, Cantinetta offers fantastic value for money. If you're looking for a new spot that nails the trifecta of good food, great atmosphere, and reasonable prices (with excellent servers to boot!), put Cantinetta at the top of your list. **Rating:** 5/5 stars read more

Omg. I've come here at least twice a week since February. Food is amazing, staff is quick and responsive. Food comes out pretty quickly too, have tried almost all of the menu between me and some friends. It's always calm and chill inside, just 5 minutes from my house this has become my favorite place to eat. That tiramidu martini is to die for . Prices are good for the portions, most of the pastas 2 people can eat from. As for the pizza they are very filling and 3 can eat out of it and still take a slice home. Thanks for always great service! read more

My initial visit to this restaurant was during their soft opening period several days before their grand opening. I was immediately taken with the bright, chic interior of the restaurant, particularly knowing what the space had looked like for the prior restaurant in this location. The owners obviously put an immense amount of care and attention in to the remodel to give it a high end flair. I say at the bar as it was just myself and the restaurant was not yet busy at that time, though there was quite a crowd as the night went on. The little bar area was very cozy and well designed. I had a couple of the staple specialty cocktails, including anbold fashioned and a lemon drop. The bartender was still training and was up front about it. The old fashioned was nothing unusual, though it was less liquid than I would expect for the cocktail and they did not have any black cherries at the time. The lemon drop had to be redone be the owner, who mentioned she loves lemon drops. The new one was perfectly on point and balanced. In terms of food, I had the Caesar salad, the pear fagotti, a sample of the Rigatoni piccante, and the chocolate temptation for dessert. I am a huge fan of Caesar salad and this one did not disappoint, it was a good size portion, all of the lettuce was coated with Caesar dressing, and the dressing was very obviously hand made with its delicious flavor. I came to learn later that the Caesar dressing recipe has been in the family for years and that even the owners kids can tell the difference when a Caesar dressing is not done right. The pear fagotti was nothing short of incredible. The flavors were perfectly balanced and the pasta was almost an Italian version of a dumpling filled with the candies pear and ricotta, with the gorgonzola cream sauce pairing just right. The owner brought out a chef sample of the Rigatoni Piccante while I was eating. I was a bit hesitant as I do not live spicy food, but it was a flavor explosion that was absolutely delicious where I would gladly get the full dish in the future. For dessert, the chocolate temptation was a layered chocolate dish. Often these types of desserts do not balance well, but this one was on point. The cake was just the right amount of moist and the other layers played with each other perfectly. All the staff and the owner were great to speak to during my visit. They all clearly were passionate about the restaurant and enthusiastic about the food. I had expected to just pop in quickly for dinner, but ended up spending a relaxing evening there just because it felt cozy and I was enjoying talking with the staff. Definitely would recommend giving this plane a try, they are an incredible addition ti the neighborhood! read more

Wonderful restaurant with excellent and delicious food! Came with a group to celebrate, service was super friendly, food was excellent and I highly recommend everything! Even the wine and drink choices were good. Loved the violinist for background music. Will defintely return soon! read more

We need more mom & pop places like this!! So glad this is literally a couple blocks from my house as I'm sure I will be heading back very soon! Everyone was super friendly, the food was really good and while it's definitely on the quaint side, it's super vibey. I had the chicken piccata that was very delicious and tiramisu for dessert, which was decent. I took it to go so maybe it's better fresh...I'm also super picky about my Tiramisu so it's probably just me being a dessert snob. Prices seemed pretty reasonable compared to most restaurants these days and worth it even more for what appeared to be food made with love. Dinner was betta with Cantinetta! read more

To celebrate my birthday, we went to Cantinetta Pizza & Pasta for dinner. I had dined there before, but this was the first time for the rest of my family (group of 6). Being in an Italian family and taking everyone to an Italian restaurant can be somewhat of a challenge. Everyone has diverse and specific tastes. And, if you know anything about Italians, they can be very critical about food. Well, everything was GREAT. We ordered fresh Calamari, Gnocchi Al Teleggio, Penne Aurora, and Chicken Piccata. My wife ordered a Margaretta Pizza which she absolutely loved. I was so happy everyone had such a great time. Matt, our server, was delightful and very attentive and just about became part of our family that night. It's such a beautiful and comfortable setting - you feel right at home. So, if you are looking for a great, family-owned Italian dining experience to celebrate your birthday or other occasion, give Cantinetta a call. I highly recommend the restaurant. read more

Excellent service, great food. Really nice live music on a Saturday evening. Creative desserts that you won't find elsewhere. The atmosphere is very welcoming & comfortable. I'm a big fan of Italian, but it's hard to find great quality vs. just high volume "pasta & sauce" places. This place nails it. read more

The restaurant makes a strong first impression with a warm, inviting atmosphere and a menu that clearly focuses on comfort food. The pasta dishes are the highlight, with rich flavors and good texture, while some appetizers feel less consistent and could use refinement. Complimentary starters are a nice touch and help set the tone for the meal. Service was friendly, though timing in the kitchen seemed uneven, which affected the overall flow of the evening. Desserts were enjoyable but didn't fully stand out compared to the mains. Overall, it's a pleasant spot with several standout dishes and room for improvement, making it worth a return visit. read more

Was filling up at a corner station when I noticed that the green curlicue sign for long-closed Basil'n Lime was replaced by white block letters proclaiming CANTINETTA Pizza & Pasta. Two of my favorite food groups, so I had to check it out. Fortunately Cantinetta is on OpenTable. Pleasant greeting from the hostess and given every option for seating. Atmosphere: Outside, being located in one of the many strip malls around Las Vegas, can't be helped. Inside, it's Italian garden crossed with modern pop princess. False brick promenade, topiaries, twining grape vines, giant pink tree, and bird cage light fixtures. Pictures of famous ladies with food and wine. Music by the likes of Dean Martin competed with music floating out of the open kitchen. Plenty of natural light from the expansive window frontage. Server Matthew provided free baguette slices and the typical accoutrements, and stood ready to answer any questions about the menu. Pear Heaven ($17): Matthew reported that the salad size was large and so it was. Lots of greenery, four pear slices, plenty of cheese chunks, cranberries, and walnuts, heavily drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette. Substantial takeaway. Spaghetti al Tartuffo ($29): This was a damn the calorie consequences kind of pasta dish. Shaved cheese on top, rich thick creamy cheese sauce below, sandwiching a decent mound of noodles, framed by four peeled jumbo shrimp and sprinkled with almond slices. Citrus very subtle; came out most via the crustaceans. Finished it with a herculean effort, but that meant no dessert this time. Pity as several, like the sweet fettuccines, were very tempting. Also, Sprite ($4). Free refills! Value: Above average. Service: Very attentive from Matthew. etc Place seems to be positioning as your friendly neighborhood Italian joint with class, offering large portions, free bread and soda refills, local entertainment, and deals. read more

Wonderful Easter dinner with friends. Lovely atmosphere, great service. The food was so good, great menu. Live music that was just the right volume so one could still have a conversation. We will be back! read more

The service was very attentive throughout in this fun neighborhood restaurant. Even met the chef/owner from Southern Italy. The food was authentic, homemade and delicious. If you pass up the tiramisu, you're missing it. No rum, but coconut shavings instead. Let's just say there were no leftovers. Get thyself here. read more

Good food, great friendly service. They were very accommodating to our kids. I would go again.

Cantinetta is a must try! This is truly a hidden gem in Las Vegas! Food is amazing, service is always amazing, staff is super friendly, professional & welcoming! Amazing appetizers, salads & entrees! Pizzas are amazing as well! The Pear Fagotti pasta blew me away. Do yourself a favor and enjoy the best Italian food that Las Vegas has to offer. ;) read more

went to Cantinetta last night after reading reviews. unfortunately was very disappointed as the wait staff is very inexperienced as slow. the food is average with no standouts. they had a couple playing/singing music but was extremely loud and could not hear our guests talking to each other. the whole expedience was not anything special and cannot recommend Cantinett for fine dining read more

Greeted by Lisa, hostess/asst mgr. seated near performer, Martin Mancuso, saxophone player. Was told she would bring me a menu. Didn't happen for over five minutes. Got attention of Matthew/waiter. Ordered veal milenesa; excellent. Martin entertained customers with Christmas songs. Not many customers. Restaurant is high class Italian like normally found on the strip. Was alerted to restaurant and entertainment by TripTix. read more

2 stars only because the spaghetti was ok. the door dash order was on time, restaurant nearby, but barely warm. the order was tiny, half the size of similarly priced S&M from other local places. the meatballs were horrible! two hard little flavorless things that seemed to have been over-microwaved. Never again. read more
