Honestly, a little over hyped but great for a big group! The spicy rigatoni is good but if you want to try something else the tortellini al ragu was amazing! Definitely my favorite pasta dish on the menu. The service was really exceptional and they provide a cart to table dessert service. read more

Bit overpriced but ultimately really good. Id generally stick with the pastas as they were all good. The other dishes can be a lil hit or miss. The free bread is so good. It's basically like pizza without cheese I think on focaccia maybe. Food: Spicy rigatoni vodka- So good. All the reviews are true. I thought this would be so mid/basic but it's simple and yet unique at the same time. Orecchiette Vito- Really unique broccoli sauce. Def worth a try Tortellini al ragu- Delicious Assorted baked clams- thought these would be better. They look good but the toppings were just ok. Beets Siciliana- great refreshing antipasto to start Chicken Scarpariello- Skip this. Chicken was dry. I generally hate ordering chicken at restaurant cause it's so hit or miss. Flavors were solid. Overall at the price point is hard to make a case to come back again unless to try the other pastas or if they come up with new or seasonal ones. But would def recommend to try. read more

I don't rate these fancy restaurants too high because usually they dim the lights and sell you some mediocre dishes. Carbone was different in this case, actually quality food. Let's start with the Caesar salad, the cheese added a nice touch and the croutons tasted really nice, fresh and homemade. The bread they give you had a the right touch of sauce along with spice. I had some of that cauliflower and honestly it mostly tasted like olive oil, wasn't a big fan. Then came the salami, fresh salami, delicious, tasted the smokiness in every bite. For my main dish I had the spicy rigatoni, very simple but very effective, spices tasted in every bite, overall very solid for a simple pasta. Pizza bread: 8.0 Cauliflower: 6.1 Caesar Salad: 7.4 Salami: 8.1 Spicy Rigatoni: 8.1 read more

The spicy vodka pasta is a must every time. You can never go wrong with anything in their menu and he service is always great. The vibes are always exceptional. read more

Definitely worth a try if you're willing to spend the money! The service is a little slow, but nonetheless everyone is very friendly and helpful. We started with the caesar salad which was a little overly salty but our drinks were really good. Best espresso martini I have ever had, no joke, I'm still thinking about it. We also got a side of the seasonal corn with black truffle which was our favorite dish, 10/10! The spicy vodka rigatoni was so good but it is a pretty small portion and it's cooked al dente so it's a little chewy, we loved it but keep that in mind if you like you're pasta well done and less chewy! Loved the ambiance and vibe overall. read more

This place is so terrible, it is loud, really noisy, and the staff that I've encountered were borderline incompetent. For some background, I did a single-person walk-in, no appointment, and they don't take appointments for 1 anyway. Was told by the hostess to check in at the bar. Bar tenders were super busy, and they didn't care. Apparently, there was a line, but an unorganized one at best, no formal queuing. It is the bartender's job to organize the guests waiting and assign them seats. Well, as I was waiting for a seat to open up, a couple just walked in and took the 1 open seat; they didn't have to wait, and the bartender did nothing. So disappointed with the unorganized chaos, seriously, do better, way better. read more

I heard many things about this restaurant particularly the one in NYC. We were able to get last minute reservations on a Friday night. Even though it was after 9pm, the restaurant was quite crowded. The only negative was that we ordered the vodka rigatoni to share. The waiter split the dish for us which we thought was nice, but when I got the check, it turns out that they charged us for two orders which was costly and without our permission. That was a bit disappointing. I was going to bring it up to the server but it was already late and did not want to bother. read more

My experience here was not as good as I thought it would be the service was bad and I had to find my waiter and ask where was the drinks finally ordered the spicy rigatoni the food is not that good for the prices I don't know maybe I didn't order the right dishes..might have to give it another try next time I'm out in Vegas read more

Very busy on a Thursday night, but not crazily loud that I can't make conversation. Loved the ambiance and the various dining room with different decors. The Mai Tai and espresso martini were delicious. Server introduced the vanilla espresso drink and it will now be my go-to drink. NY Steak, Caesar salad, and spicy rigatoni all hit the spot. The pasta was surprisingly spicy and a little tingly. Really enjoyed the flavor profile and the customer service. Would definitely come back. read more

When I lived across the country, Carbone was always a must on my Vegas trips. I'd make sure to book reservations well in advance because it had become a tradition my family and I started years ago. Anytime we came with friends, we loved bringing them here to show them what all the hype was about. Now that I'm local, I've had the opportunity to come more often--but unfortunately, over the past year and a half, the experience has gone downhill rapidly. Each visit left us more disappointed than the last for various reasons. Still, because of how much I used to love Carbone, I kept giving it more chances. This last visit a few days ago was the nail in the coffin. I'm officially over it and won't be returning. In a city like Las Vegas, where the dining options are endless, do yourself a favor and go somewhere that matches its price point with quality food and attentive service. At Carbone, the staff walk around as if it's the last place on earth they'd like to be, and the overall experience no longer justifies the hype--or the cost read more

I've been wanting to dine at Carbone forever but it's always been hard to get reservations. This time, I tried a month in advance, but got 5:45 PM reservations. My friend and I were not super hungry when we came which was a shame because they have so many yummy dishes to try. We were given complimentary appetizers which was so plentiful of salami, bread basket, and cauliflower which was spicy and tangy at the same time. Our servers, especially Joe, were super friendly and excellent at catering to us during our meal. I had to order their famous spicy rigatoni and my friend got the lobster ravioli. Our food was served quickly and the portions might be small for some, but perfect for us since we weren't too hungry. So much lobster in that ravioli dish and not just inside the ravioli. Creamy and delicious. I loved my spicy vodka rigatoni and licked it all up. I was happy that Joe recommended their spicy breadcrumbs over the hot pepper flakes I had requested as it gave it that spice and crunch at the same time, very unique! Though we were full we couldn't resist that huge dessert cart and got the citrus cheesecake. We are both not huge fans of cheesecake, but this was light and decadent at the same time. We were also given two small pieces of a chocolate almond cake and it was the perfect ending to our meal. Will come back hungrier next time to enjoy more of their dishes. read more

Finally made it out to Carbone. We had resos at 7 but they were behind so we had to wait 30 minutes before they sat us down. They had great music playing so that was a plus. Our server Ryan and Enrique were awesome. Ryan explained the menu really well and recommended some things for the party. It was family style so we had plenty to try. For starters the calamari was really good. And the house bread they bring it is also really good. The carpaccio is also a must try. For the mains the 50oz American wagyu was ok but not worth it for the price. I felt they just slapped the wagyu part on there but it was not worth it. All the sides were got were delicious. Over all I think I was expecting more from Carbone but didn't get there. read more

Carbone is located in the 2nd floor also known as the Promenade at the Aria Resort & Casino. I celebrated my birthday with a 5pm dinner reservation for 5 people and this Italian restaurant is a family style dinner service which has its doors open right at 5pm. We ordered many dishes to share including their signature rigatoni with vodka sauce, however we opted out of the spice. The bread basket, salami, cauliflower, and parmesan cheese were all complimentary to our meal. For our appetizers, we ordered the baked clams, sizzling pancetta, and octopus; the octopus was the best being that it was tender and flavorful. The clams were very fishy in smell and taste, not very fresh tasting or flavorful. We let our server, Richard, know and he was kind enough to ask the manager to have this clam dish removed from our bill. We ordered the tortellini, lobster ravioli, sole fish, steak Diane, and Yukon potatoes all to share; the standout was surprisingly the sole versus all the pasta dishes. I was able to receive a complimentary lemon cheesecake for my birthday dessert and we were also given a free plate of marzipan cookies. Overall, the octopus and sole, both seafood dishes, were the best tasting out of all and the service was excellent. My dad even had a table side Caesar salad served to him which had huge croutons, pretty authentic to the Caesar salad made originally in Tijuana, Mexico. The croutons being so huge were not appetizing to my dad and was somewhat of a decoration. If you are in the Aria hotel and would like to experience New York's famous Carbone restaurant, make sure to come hungry and mangia mangia! read more

Affina was our server and was just so welcoming and kind. She made us feel welcome. Zero pressure on anything and was only interested in us enjoying ourselves. The food. Omg. Caprese was available and the house made burrata and the heirlooms were a perfect pair with the pesto. Vodka rigatoni lived up to its reputation and not a noodle was left. And we ordered one meatball and it damn near stole the show. Loved the bread content that soaked up the moisture from The veal and beef And then then the veal parm. Whoa. Perfectly Balanced and not over sauced so there was an excellent crisp at the edges, and a light coating cooked in a perfect temperature oil so there was no saturation. Entirely too full for dessert after eating the complimentary picked cauliflower, salami, and best bread basket in the USA THANKS to everyone at carbone. Will see you again next trip. Thanks for being so kind and hospitable. Didn't feel like a tourist...felt at home. At my corner table. Like a Boss read more

What a phenomenal experience we had. Chip was our server and he never failed to impress us with any part of the meal from his recommendations for appetizers, to his recommendation for the lamb chops all the way through to desserts. Everything surpassed our expectations! He was kind, personable, and very knowledgeable. The room was beautiful, lighting was romantic without being too dark. And the entire waitstaff was friendly and accommodating. We will most definitely be back! read more

Reservations for 4 at 6pm is more like 7 so be wary if you have plans post dinner! Once we sat through dinner, we understood why our reservation time wasn't honored since everything moves slowly. My party ordered the calamari, lobster ravioli, spicy vodka rigatoni, cherry ribs, tortellini al ragu, and veal parm. Portion size for the calamari and meats are definitely shareable! Do not think you can eat these on your own. Pasta however is a different story. The ravioli and tortellini came with exactly 7 pieces each. Calamari had a nice crunch and light sauce to compliment. Ravioli and veal parm were very salty. Tortellini was very underwhelming and we only ordered it because the orchiette and lasagna were sold out for the day. How does an Italian restaurant run out of a pasta dish? The rigatoni was perfectly Al dente and the sauce was surprisingly good with a small kick. The cherry ribs were good too but felt like we needed a salad or veggies on the side.. Service was very hit and miss. Some servers were nice and some seemed to avoid eye contact. This is not an ideal place if you want to have a conversation since it's so loud inside. Definitely not worth the wait since there seems to be plenty of sit down eateries offering more for a better price. read more

Food was solid -- but the service? Absolutely awful. We came to Carbone expecting the full experience, and while the food was genuinely good, the service was a huge letdown and really overshadowed everything else. From the start, the pacing was painfully slow -- we waited way too long between courses, and just getting a server's attention felt like pulling teeth. The worst part, though, was the drink situation. We ordered cocktails, and they tasted exactly like rubbing alcohol -- completely unbalanced and honestly undrinkable. When we brought it up, the server didn't offer to replace them. Instead, he offered to bring over things to mask the taste, which... isn't the solution we were looking for. After pushing back, we finally asked him to just replace the drinks. He took the old ones away -- and then, surprise: we got charged for both the original drinks and the replacements. For a place with such high-end pricing and reputation, you'd expect way better service and accountability. Great food, but between the slow service, poor handling of our complaint, and being charged for drinks we couldn't drink -- it's not worth the hype. Plenty of other places in the city serve amazing Italian without the attitude. read more

Although much fancier than I'm used to, the restaurant felt comfortable and the servers were friendly and not too stuffy. The lobster ravioli was our least favorite. The ravioli were too firm and slightly chewy. The star of the show was the Dover piccata, scrumptious! The presentation was unbelievable! We had the caviar appetizer, it was good. The vodka rigatoni was excellent! The bread tasted like heaven. read more

I was in Vegas alone for the week (don't ask why ) and wanted to treat myself to a nice dinner on my last night. Carbone did not disappoint. It was pretty busy when I showed up--every seat at the bar had a reservation plaque--but the bartender still managed to squeeze me in right in the middle. From there, the night was perfect. The bartending staff was phenomenal: attentive, friendly, and actually seemed to care that I was enjoying everything. Such a refreshing change from the usual Vegas "just get drinks out fast" attitude. They immediately brought out complimentary focaccia and other assorted breads, fresh parmesan carved straight from the wheel, and some kind of vinegar cauliflower--all delicious and a great way to start. I ordered the table-side Caesar and the veal parm. The Caesar was prepared right in front of me at the bar, complete with fresh anchovies (offered on the side or mixed in). So fresh, tangy, and perfectly balanced--but I barely finished half to save room for the star of the show: the veal parm. Hands down, one of the best parms I've ever had. Huge portion, on-the-bone, perfectly breaded and fried. Honestly, between the salad and the veal, it's enough food for two people. I couldn't even come close to finishing it, but every bite I did have was incredible. This place absolutely lived up to the hype. I'll definitely be back every time I'm in Vegas. Pretty sure I just found my new go-to spot. read more

Came for a 10pm reservation. By that point, the restaurant wasn't very crowded, maybe half full. Would have expected much better service and attention from a place of this caliber. Instead, beginning of the meal and end of the meal was a lot of waiting around.

We had a fabulous dinner here! From the moment we receded, the service was impeccable. I suggest making a reservation in advance to avoid a wait. They are bread basket and appetizers are my personal highlight, such a beautiful and generous selection to start off your meal. We tried a variety of their dishes, from the pasta to the salad, the meat and fish, everything was fabulous! Beautiful restaurant, very intimate and romantic, even though they are extremely busy.

Blown away. I am so glad I came here. We got the "staples" as it being our first time here. The service is excellent. Seriously. It's a whole team here working with each other. BRAVO. Caesar- made tableside, enough to share. If you like garlic and anchovies, it's a MUST. Spicy rigatoni and no not overly spicy at all, which is great for me. Perfectly Al dente. Off menu veal meatball? Wow I'm not sure why it's off menu but that was the protein for our rigatoni. I got a dirty martini and it was delightful. He got an old fashioned made with rum surprisingly and was also great. Y'all, they have a vesper. I love a vesper and will be back for that. Enjoy, try the goods, enjoy the service. So glad this was recommended to us!! read more

Carbone was a 5-Star dining experience for me; and definitely one of best dinners I've had in Vegas! Amazing and delicious Italian food for every course, top shelf wine list, "white-glove" service (kudos Deion!), simple and decadent ambience with biz casual attire. Difficult to get reservations, you'll need to book a month in advance! Overall, 5.0 star experience (and cost), but one everyone will appreciate. I was treated to a special Bday dinner, but expect to pay ~$100+pp, depending entree selections, apps, drinks, etc. On food, a big shout-out for their fresh made Rigatoni in a delicious Spicy red vodka cream sauce (yum!) that is one of their signature pasta entrees - a MUST HAVE worth sharing at the table between salad and main course or on your own - don't miss it! Plus their Caesar salad is tossed table-side, truly one of THE BEST salads I've ever eaten! House starters included 2-year aged chunk Parmigiana, dry Salami, and fresh Foccacia bread. We then indulged with apps of Large Chilled Shrimp and Carpaccio Piemontese (so thin and outstanding!). And then came the "Deion" tossed Caesar that was shared for the table - amazing salad! The spicy Rigatoni entree was served before our other "mains", and was an excellent way to keep the unique course flavors separate. For additional entrees, we shared the House Veal Parmigiana and a special (off menu) Cowboy Ribeye. Both prepared perfectly, both filling to eat, just an exquisite dinner treat all around! Finally, a house dessert was served of their Italian cake cookies - outstanding and goes well with an Americano or Expresso. We couldn't have eaten any more, and Carbone is a MUST TRY for anyone who appreciates fine Italian dining ... I want to go back again right NOW! Hope you'll have a wonderful experience just as I did with dear friends. CHEERS, ENJOY!!! read more

We had an amazing time at Carbone in Las Vegas. We started off with the bread service with salami and pickled cauliflower. Next we had the Caesar salad, which was prepared table side. I definitely found my new favorite Caesar salad. The fresh garlic had a nice bite to it. The croutons were huge, but not hard at all. The outside was very crispy, and had a nice tender chew on the inside. Very interesting for just a crouton. We also had to get the spicy rigatoni that everyone loves. The cook on the pasta was very nice, and the spice lived up to it's name. Not overwhelming, but spicy enough. The cheese in the sauce also gave a nice thickness. Our last dish was the veal parm. It was cooked very nicely and the lemon and arugula brightened up the all meat dish. We didn't have any room for desert at this point, but they did have a nice Italian rainbow cookie for us at the end. These were really tasty. The service was very friendly and made good suggestions on what to try. I already have reservations to come back again. read more

If I could eat the spicy rigatoni everyday, I 100% would. Carbone is everything it's hyped up to be.

We were visiting Vegas for a conference, and my director recommended this place as a must-try. We took an Uber from the Wynn/Encore to the Aria. Be sure to make reservations in advance -- and note that the entire party must be present to be seated. The restaurant was packed around dinner time. It has a great ambiance -- lively, bustling, and vibrant. However, if you're looking to have a relaxed conversation, be prepared: it gets loud, and you might lose your voice by the end of the night trying to talk over the noise. That said, the food and service were exceptional. We ordered a Caesar salad to share, and the waiter prepared it table side on a salad cart. That alone was impressive -- how does someone mix that fast? We also shared a family-sized spicy vodka rigatoni, and the staff plated individual portions for everyone at the table. We kept hearing that this pasta is a must! One thing to note: the entrées are enormous, which helps justify the pricing. Each entrée is clearly meant to be shared. We definitely over ordered! Our table had: Cherry Peppered Ribs - my favorite! Lamb Chops Veal Marsala Chicken Massimo Veal Parmesan - runner up! Ribeye Diana Everything tasted spectacular. This was by far one of the best Italian restaurants I've experienced. For 11 people, we could've easily ordered half as many dishes and still been completely satisfied. read more

I was extremely disappointed with my experience at Carbone Las Vegas, especially given its reputation and price point. We had a table of six for a birthday celebration, and while our server was excellent, the rest of the experience was unacceptable. The busboy was a constant disruption all night. He would not leave our table alone and repeatedly interrupted us while we were eating and talking. He picked up full glasses of drinks, attempted to throw out a 3/4 full bottle of wine, and made unnecessary comments to the table throughout the evening. It was impossible to relax or enjoy the celebration. Food-wise, most dishes were very good, except for a steak we spent $150 on. It was ordered medium and came out bleeding raw. When sent back, it returned completely black and overcooked. This item should have been taken off the bill, yet it was not. The most disgusting part of the night came with dessert. The same busboy brought it over, poured it all over the table, then picked it up and handed it to us with his bare hands. Completely unsanitary and shocking for an establishment of this caliber. We informed multiple managers on the floor as the issues were happening, and they offered no solution or meaningful response. Overall, this was a horrid experience and a huge letdown for a birthday celebration. It did not live up to the Carbone name, experience, or level of class they present. For the price and reputation, this was unacceptable. Ruined my perspective of Carbone & will not be back. read more

Carbone - Italian Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Made our reservation the month before for 8PM on a Saturday, and we waited about 10 minutes after we checked in for our table to be ready. The atmosphere inside is super lively, without being an unreasonable noise level. Service is very friendly and attentive, and our waiter walked us through the menu extensively, had recommendations based on our preferences, and also dropped by multiple times throughout the night to check in on us. Octopus Pizzaiolo: great mix of tender octopus pieces, potatoes, and peppers. It had a really great charred flavor and was crispy on the outer layer. One of my favorite dishes of the night. Rigatoni: as excellent as everyone says. Al dente, the perfect spicie level in the pasta sauce. A must order here! Snapper: would definitely skip next time--high price point but wasn't a particularly standout dish imo, also quite a small portion size. Potatoes Louie: on the greasy side, but still tasty and quite filling. Drinks were great, as were the focaccia/pickled cauliflower/spicy salami. I was surprised that they didn't do anything for my friend's birthday. Pricing is definitely on the higher end for what you get, even for Vegas, but you're definitely paying for the atmosphere. 4 stars for food, 5 for ambiance/service. read more

A little wait for a seat. But once seated served drinks and bread quickly. Inside it's a warm 40's/50's type of feel. Playing a lot of oldies 60's music. Ordered an eggplant appetizer served cold with Marscapone cheese it was full of flavor. Bread basket with pickled cauliflower and salami was all very good bread served warm. Don't fill up on this or you won't have room for dessert! So I ordered dessert as an appetizer the lemon NY cheesecake and it was delicious. Ordered the spicy rigatoni vodka pasta. It was very aldente, I would have preferred a little softer pasta myself. But the sauce was good. Just not sure it lived up to all the hype. It was good but not great. The bone in filet mignon was very good just needed more seasoning, Very tender. Hubby ordered the Diane rib eye and couldn't finish. He would have preferred the sauce on the side it was a little too tangy. We tried it not sure we need to come back though. Service was good dessert was very good.

Absolute disaster of a service. The "jacket" doesn't care about the tables. You never see her. The second in line did care, but he repeatedly says his hands are tied. You want dressing for a salad, wait 45 min. Nothing. Then the up salad plates, and you tell them You never got what you wanted. 20 min later the jacket shows up to redo the salad. Nobody wants that.

I went here with my parents on vacation awhile back and the bread service in the beginning was very good. It seemed like a great start. However, I ordered their famous Vodka Pasta as did my mom. It was just average and lacked depth. It needed more cream, spice and more aroma to it. It was kind of too basic n simple with a somewhat runny texture. It was small in size for 35 bucks or something. My dad got the Red Snapper. It was good quality fish, but lacked seasoning and mixed with onions seemed odd for fish too. Then, we got a slice of Blackout Cake togo and even that was just average with some sweetness to it. Nothing stood out. That cake can be the best in the world if it's made right. The service was attentive and welcoming. I had no regrets trying this place bc I always wanted to. None of us were pleased with the food, but obviously not disgusted either. Who knows, I may give it a try in the future one day again. read more

This is a hard one. Ammending what I thought was a great experience now feels like a fluke. I'm also basing it on not just food but price, and service. Especially the hosts. I'm MGM player and have a host and can get a reservation anytime. But second time I ate there I had a bar reservation they gave away and I had to wait almost an hr for a seat. I was seated in a small two top round booth in the back quieter room with the curtains. This was AMAZING for me as I'm over 60 and hip and knees sometimes are not my friends. Sometimes flair up I have to use a cane. I'm not a huge fan of getting up and down from barstools. Next reservation I requested a table like I had before and was denied it. Saying single guests must sit at the bar. This is not ok especially when it's an older patron alone or a request. It's not like I requested a banquet table in the private room. So I sat at the bar. It wasn't as good as the first bar experience. I could tell they were annoyed that I ordered the Caesar salad. I ordered lobster ravioli that were not great and for the price my toes should have melted and I should have made noises. But it wasn't much better than Olive Garden. The appetizers are still stellar but they didn't bring me cheese at the bar which was a bummer. Actually brought me NO appetizers I had to ask for the pepperoni veggies and bread. I didn't want to request the cheese. They should be more attentive when a single person spends over 200$. I had a couple of ok drinks and a dessert (carrot cake which is extremely large and sweet. Shareable). They should offer alternative seating for solo diners than only the loud bar scene. Some places I feel welcome. Management comes to bring me a complimentary cocktail, like bavettes or like Mayfair's supper clubs, an amuse bouche from the chef and a rose on my birthday. I could go on. There are places that make you feel special and places that make you feel like they think they are doing you a favor. Carbone is clearly sure they are doing the diner a favor by allowing their presence in the restaurant and being allowed to give them your money. Food. First trip there I did sit at the bar. Carpaccio, Caesar salad 2 drinks. Dessert. bar staff attentive. Second trip a round booth in back with curtains, amazing. The Bar area loud and crowded and not easy to maneuver. Third and last visit was when I was denied a table seat even a month in advance. That trip I had an arthritis flair up and used a cane at airport and some days (I was there 10 days) needed it. I did NOT want to have to haul it so I walked nomad to Aria gingerly. Slowly. It was extremely difficult at the bar. Your legs dangle. Putting tension on my knee. When I'm using a cane a lot my lower back will hurt because I really am using a lot of pressure to take off my bad knee that my back eats. Anyway I was forced to sit at the bar. When I went to the restroom sure enough my knee buckled getting off the stool and I ended up crying due to pain in the bathroom and no longer in the mood for my salad. I took a dessert to go. I had 1 alcoholic drink. This was my last visit. I needed to uber back because of the buckled knee. And being dropped off at Nomad private entrance. I'm a paying customer. You're not doing me some crazy favor by taking my 200$. There are 200 MGM run restaurants to pick from and NONE require a bar reservation unless you agree or ask for. If I had injured myself I would have been very angry as the person I spoke with weeks earlier was told I had significant knee and hip issues (I was getting injections in my knee weekly and draining fluid). I finally just let my host reserve my bar seat. You can't reserve a table for 1 if you try. It will always say unavailable. I'm a widow. I come 2-3 times a year MGM gets 5 out of 10 days every trip. I expect better. I have NO real complaints on wait staff. First bartenders were SO good it made the bar an enjoyable experience. Second waiters were busy but attentive. The third visit the bar staff wasn't as friendly but they were busy and still efficient. The host desk is RUDE. Very. They are very snooty. They are all super young and apparently don't understand arthritis. As long as this review is, if you make a reservation, ask for the back quiet room NOT the room up front or in loud section because it's ear piercingly loud. First trip was enjoyable but knowing there is NO care about disability or discomfort is a no go from here on. Last two visits I have tried Scarpetta at Cosmo good but $$$ and I had a window seat alone. Sinatra at encore was good and again I had a two top to myself. No demand I sit at the bar. read more

One of the top three restaurants we've ever had! Ambiance was great, service was excellent, and the food was amazing! The complimentary focaccia bread was delicious, same with the complimentary cheese. We can see why the spicy rigatoni keeps the lights on - so flavorful with a little bit of a kick. Although we were expecting the pasta to be the star of the show, my personal favorite was the ribeye - charred black on the outside but cooked perfectly to a medium rare. It was the best steak I've ever had! Our "captain" had the wherewithal to ask us if we wanted the sauce on the side which we think is better as it really lets you taste the steak itself. 100% recommend to anyone looking for a nice dining experience and awesome food. The off menu truffle cream corn was also very good! read more

Service, impeccable. Food, to die for. I loved how cold the lettuce was on the Caesar salad and the anchovies on the side were so good, not at all like the ones in the can I had the spicy rigatoni, which I ordered mild after reading the reviews. I kinda wished I just ordered it normal, but that just gives me an excuse to go back. My husband had veal and it was a huge portion. They also bring out charcuterie, cheese, pickled cauliflower and bread in the beginning. Delicious! read more
