    Chicken Parmesan
    Dan S.

    It had been a few years since my last visit to Giada, and I'm happy to say it was just as delicious as I remembered. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between romantic and welcoming, making it an excellent choice whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying dinner with friends. We started with the Fritto Misto, which was fried perfectly and served with a flavorful lemon aioli dipping sauce. It was a nice change from the marinara sauce that most restaurants typically serve. We also shared the Caesar salad, which was easily large enough for two people, if not three. The lemon-infused croutons were a unique touch that I wasn't expecting but ended up enjoying. For my entrée, I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana. The chicken itself was delicious and cooked well, although I wish a little more of the oil had been drained before serving. Even with that minor issue, it was still a very enjoyable dish. I noticed that some reviews mention small portion sizes, but that was not our experience at all. Every entrée at our table was generously portioned and easily large enough to share. Overall, Giada delivered another memorable dining experience, and I look forward to returning much sooner than my last visit.

    Perfect spot for birthday brunch! We were celebrating my friend's birthday and chose Giada's brunch. Pepe made our brunch experience special with the perfect service. The shrimp with lemon pasta was out of this world, and the smashed potatoes were the perfect amount of crispy. I can't wait to go back soon and enjoy dinner at Giada's!!!

    Burger with side of bacon

    Ordered room service while staying at the Vanderpump Hotel. Order was ready faster than predicted. Waiter bough it up in a heated table/box and offered to leave it in the room. Glass of water came i with the order. Burger was cooked to the correct temperature but not at all seasoned. Side of bacon was the best part. Should have ordered delivery instead of paying the room service fee.

    Lemon sauce noodles with shrimp
    Dawn M.

    I heard great things about the restaurant and was excited to try it as I love Italian. Well to start off the dirty martini got I was great, no complaints. However, when the food came out I cannot say the same. My husband's chicken Parmesan was so watery and tasted like the sauce came Out of a jar from the grocery store, but mine was even worse. The famous shrimp with lemon spaghetti, was not even hot. The shrimp was pawns first off and not shrimp and they were so tough I couldn't eat them. I choked down hlf the noodles and then I couldn't do it anymore. The decor was not what I would have expected in a higher end restaurant. There was a table in very center with 10 chairs that did not match any of the other decor of the restaurant. It looked out of place and like it was just extra from Another restaurant that they threw in there. The lights above the bar were different temperatures (some 2700 and some 3500 kelvin). Our waiter was probably the best part. He checked on us frequently and kept our drinks full and was attentive. Was a great guy! I will say, we've ate at other restaurants in Vegas that are the same price range that were way better than this place. I would have to say I don't recommend this place if you want a taste of Italy (which is what I hoped for) try another spot as this one is not it.

    Tawny Port and view from our table

    Giada's at The Cromwell delivers a dining experience that feels both elevated and inviting. We had a 5:30 PM reservation and were seated right on time, which is always a great start to the evening. We were given a window seat along Flamingo Road--not directly facing the Strip--but still had a great view of the Bellagio Fountains, which made the setting feel special. One thing to note: there is no minimum spending requirement for these seats, unlike the Strip-facing window tables which require about $125 per person in food and beverage. We started with the fried calamari and the bread board, both of which were excellent. For our main dishes, we had the house specialty lemon spaghetti with shrimp, a side of rigatoni, and the stuffed chicken parmigiana--everything was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The lemon notes throughout the meal really stood out in the best way. We paired everything with a beautiful bottle of Cakebread Chardonnay, which complemented the meal perfectly. To finish, we had Giada's specialty lemon cookies and the cheesecake brûlée, along with a Tawny Port that paired perfectly with dessert. Everything we had was AMAZING. Service was attentive without being overbearing--wine glasses were refilled at just the right times, plates were cleared promptly, and we never once felt rushed. Overall, Giada's is a standout spot for a special night out in Las Vegas. Great food, great service, and a memorable atmosphere--I would definitely return.

    Wait time was minimal. Service was great. Tables were wobbly. Views were spectacular. Your shoe to sit and watch the fountain show and the Las Vegas strip lights. The food was great

    Suman K.

    I was super excited to try this place since I love Italian food, and it did not disappoint. Our server was very kind and attentive, really listening to our requests and making sure everything was just right. The view is absolutely beautiful--you can even see the Bellagio fountain show, which makes the whole experience even more special. They also have great vegetarian options, which I really appreciated. We ended up ordering quite a bit, but couldn't finish everything. The portions may look small at first, but the food is surprisingly filling, so definitely come hungry. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend it!

    Delicious cookies
    Susan S.

    Another lovely dinner at this restaurant. Sadly, this restaurant and hotel are closing for renovation and to be a new restaurant... The food and the service was delicious. I can't say enough about the savory delicious. Cacio de Pepe. Homemade delicious spaghetti marinated and cheese and pasta water placed upon a cheese wheel. The warm pasta water and the cheese creates a very creamy texture. If you have the opportunity to order this dish, please try it do not pass it up! Five stars for this lovely restaurant. I will miss going to Giada.

    Tiramisu
    Michele J.

    Every time we to Giada's we have a fantastic experience! The food is amazing we love Giada's Signature Lemon Spaghetti! Bacon wrapped dates are the best, spicy sausage Pizzaette is so good too. If you like a gin & tonic....the Bella Luna is THE one! The restaurant is appealing & relaxing. They can open the windows for an open air dining experience! Fantastic view! The service is great. The manager is pretty awesome too.

    Salmon
    Diana M.

    This was my first time visiting Las Vegas and Giadas did not disappoint. We came to celebrate an anniversary and were greeted by friendly staff. We were seated next to the windows with a view of the bellagio fountains. We ordered the Salmon and Giadas Signature Lemon Spaghetti. We enjoyed both dishes. I would say this is a Las Vegas must do.

    I've always been a big fan of Giada and I'm so glad we got to try her restaurant during this trip! Located within the Cromwell hotel, the escalator up to the restaurant on the 2nd floor is right by the hotel entrance from the Strip. The restaurant has an open floor plan with an inviting ambiance and great views of the Strip. Our server was kind and welcoming. He remembered we were there to celebrate my friend's birthday which was nice. We ordered various things on the menu including their famous focaccia bread (as there's no complimentary bread served), salad, and a few pasta/risotto dishes. The food was all tasty and fresh but definitely pricey. The portions were on the smaller side so be aware when ordering. For my friend's birthday, they gave us a salted chocolate chip and lemon ricotta cookie which were both heavenly delicious. Two small issues we encountered but could become a 5 star experience if fixed: - the food was warm not hot. It would have been nice to have hot food come out (in the middle of the meal, the food was already cold). - there is no direct phone number to call the restaurant and the concierge will not transfer your call.

    Mocha
    Brittney L.

    Amazing service! The waiters and waitresses were so nice and knew the menu well so if you had questions they were very helpful. The mocha was okay, I like it more sweet but that's just me. The food was also delicious! Wish we came for dinner but we will just have to go back.

    Arugula salad. I'm gonna make one when I get home. This was so good with a light vinaigrette, sliced Parmesan cheese.
    Kevin Y.

    Walking the strip thinking Italian I opted for Giata. I watched her so much on Food Network for so many years and so many chefs celebrity restaurants thought I would choose this one. So glad I did. Quiet, luxurious upscale this restaurant was exactly what I was looking for. Being alone, I sat at the bar, had excellent service and started with a Peroni while I looked at the menu. After spending nearly $40 on a club sandwich, a banana and a Gatorade at the hotel. I was expecting way out of line pricing, but went for the.Branzini fish, arugula salad, and the focaccia bread as there wasn't a smaller option for bread, but what a great meal. The arugula salad was fresh with a light vinaigrette, shaved Parmesan cheese really hit the spot. Delicious. The fish came expertly presented, and as a chef, I couldn't even figure out some of the items mixed in the sauces on top of this gorgeously cooked fish, but the flavors were fantastic, the fish was flaky, just the right amount of spices absolutely delicious. I took my time had a couple of beers and it was so nice to sit in a quiet place, getting excellent service and excellent food to end my week in Vegas. I have to admit I'm not a Vegas fan, but I did have one other good meal this week with guest, including beef tartare bone marrow then to here to finish with this lovely cooked fish. It was just perfect. If you're looking for a nice classy atmosphere, professional service, great food this is where to go highly recommend.!!!

    No bread service, no pasta in the toscano cheese wheel. I was really looking forward to those. Arugula salad was bitter. Service was good.

    Ask the Community - GIADA

    Are kid's allowed now that Cromwell turned 21+ as a property?

    We were able to bring our 2-year-old to Giada a couple months ago (February 2024), and no one said anything. They were actually very accommodating for him with a high chair and everything.

    My Wife and I are dining with you in March. We've eaten there one time before and absolutely loved everything except for where we were seated. How can we go about getting a nice seating for 2? Lots of traffic where we were. Look forward to our return

    If you're staying there or close by, I would pop in and just ask. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. If not, I would show up early and still ask if it's possible to be seated more out of the way as your preference. Enjoy your visit! We just… 

    Where is the best parking to dine at Giada's?

    We parked at the valet. It may have been pricey, but because we spent over a certain dollar amount, valet was free. It's based on like a tier level for discounts on the parking. They will explain it all to you when you park.

    What is the price of the tasting menu for 2023?

    I believe we paid $120 per person and it was well worth it. We were there a few months ago.

    Do they make pasta in a cheese wheel?

    Yes, when we visited a couple years ago they created their cacio e pepe in a wheel of pecorino. It was outstanding.

    Is paying extra for a window seat worth it?

    We didn't pay for window seats, but we sat in the corner by the window for brunch. Didn't feel that much special. It might be worth it for a dinner service with a better view of the strip at night, but I personally wouldn't pay for it because I… 

    Is the dress casual?

    Yes, you can be dress casual (jeans & polo shirt) to as dressy as you choose. I've even worn nice walking shorts and a polo shirt.

    Are nice shorts and a button down shirt acceptable attire for dinner? Going to be hot while we're there, and not sure pants would be comfortable?

    I have worn very nice shorts & a button down shirt when dining at Giada's before... believe it or not, I've even worn a nice t-shirt and jeans... you can dress up, or dress down.. that's what is so nice about it.. as long as you keep it Classy, you… 

    Regarding business casual - if you wear nice jeans do you have to wear a coat or will a button down shirt suffice?

    Nice jeans will be fine, no jacket required. A button down shirt will be good. No flip flops!

    Does Giada's serve a traditional Spaghetti and Meatball dinner? Don't see that on the menu (maybe I'm wrong) and that's what my husband would want

    Hello Michelle, I can understand your question, liking that as well. Having been a customer of Giada's since she opened in 2014, I think at one time they may have had… 

    What is the current tasting menu price (Aug 2021)?

    $109 for 4 courses. Worth the price to try some of Giadas signature dishes.

    Are they still offering the Cacio e Pepe pasta dish in a cheese wheel?

    No. They serve just the pasta in a similar sauce so they claim.mine was cold, taste blend and was horrible.menu was tiny n service bad. I was disgusted.

    Is the restaurant still open or is it currently shut down?

    Open and hoping to serve. See website for new hours.

    Do you offer Gluten free pasta?

    Hello Organic, to your answer ... yes we do offer Gluten free pasta! We look forward to serving you in the future. Thank you, john :)

    I have severe seafood allergies, can I eat here?

    They do serve entrees other than seafood, including beef filet, veal, and lamb.

    We have a reservation today 12/24/19 for 4:30 pm but the hours say not open until 5pm do we need to change our reservation?

    Hello Amy, today we will be open at 4pm. Merry Christmas to you and your family! Thank you, john

    Are kids welcome?

    Yes kids are welcome

    Is there a happy hour?

    Hello Megan, Giada's does not have a happy hour. Join us at Interlude Monday - Friday for happy hour from 9 AM to 8 PM. Enjoy vodka cocktails and beer specials for only $2 each... Interlude is a the main bar downstairs of the casino. Thank you, john

    On a Sunday evening would reservations be recommended for a party of 2?

    Depending on what time you go. I definitely made reservations and had about a 5 minute wait.

    I noticed they have brunch? Where can I find the menu? Do they have happy hours?

    Here's the brunch menu from their website! https://www.caesars.com/content/dam/dlv/Giada/Menus/dlv-giada-brunch-menu-012518.pdf

We had great service from Don who helped us celebrate a friend's 80th birthday there. The garlic bread was great ($1 per person at the table for unlimited bread). I ordered the Alla Nora which was baked spaghetti, meat sauce, fried eggplant pieces, a drizzle of pesto, and parm. I added shrimp to it for an additional $6. It was a very good dish. Another person at our table got the Gorgonzola pasta which he absolutely loved. Another friend ordered a cocktail which she said was strong and delicious. There is an outdoor patio that looked really nice. Would love to come back and try another dish and dine al fresco on a beautiful Las Vegas day.

On our last night instead…read moreof going to an Italian restaurant on the strip, we searched for Italian restaurants and came upon Ferraro's. They start you off with bread which were not very tasty. They were a bit dry and lacking in flavor. It was a shame because they give you a small container filled with olive oil to dip your bread in. We ordered a glass of Barolo and the Dante's Infante cocktail. The cocktail was refreshing and strong. My husband wanted to try wine but there werent many options for wines sold by the glass and there was only one option for Baralos so he ordered that. The Baralo was just average for $30 per glass and it was unfortunate that there weren't more options to choose from. We ordered the Polpo ( octopus) appetizer. The flavors were well balanced and the pureed canellini beans paired well with the octopus but the octopus was too cold. Not sure if it was supposed to be served like but I've never had octopus that cold before and the consistency was a bit harder because of the temperature. For our entrees, we ordered the pappardelle with lobster, scallops and truffle. The pasta was perfectly al dente and amazing. There were 2 beautifully cooked and tender scallops. There were a few garnishes of truffle that were shaved thick enough that I was able to chew into the texture. I wish there were larger pieces as the shaved pieces were small sized in diameter. But overall the pasta itself was cooked perfectly. This was far the best dish. We also ordered the Branzino which I wish I hadn't because there was a very wierd flavor profile.. I ordered it thinking it was going to have crispy skin but the skin was very soggy. It seems they changed the method of cooking the branzino as compared to previous photos uploaded by other yelpers. I was a bit disappointed when the branzino came out because the whole fish was butterflied ( sliced in half with tail in tact) and looked like the skin side had at one point been fried but it was soggy and soaked in the sauce. I was not particularly a fan of the sauce. I tasted a strong flavor profile of cinnamon for some reason even though there was no cinnamon mentioned on the menu. Two of the ingredients listed was guanciale and taragon. One of two ingredients may have been the flavors I tasted which did not pair well with the fish. It ruined the natural flavor of the fish as they overpowered the natural flavor of the branzino. Any time I get a chance to order the Branzino, I am usually satisfied or impressed but have never been disappointed. I think my favorite restaurants where I had exceptionally cooked branzinos were on the Vegas strip. At one of restaurants on the strip which I have ordered numerous times and is a very well known restaurant which I will name nameless ...it was cooked similarly, butterflied, in a buttery lemon sauce but the skin was still crispy. A second restaurant on the strip... the branzino was smoked and roasted on charcoal with a tomato based sauce. I guess I can't help but compare because this restaurant is priced similar to two very popular restaurants on the strip but fell short. Our waiter Diego was great and best personality and made our experience memorable. Overall the best dishe was the handmade pasta. The lack of options for wine by the glass was a bit saddening. The cocktail was unique and strong. But I regret getting the branzino. I am not sure I would go back

    The hype has always been real. The hype remains real. Esther's is very probably the best off-Strip…read morerestaurant in Las Vegas of any kind, and it competes favorably with anything the Strip can put up against it. Along with Monzú, it's the reason "destination Italian" and "off-Strip" can appear seriously in the same sentence. But nobody needs another review to make that point. Anyone with sense has already said the nice things about Esther's, and they were right, and I'd just be adding another voice to a very crowded chorus. So here's my contribution: I've started sneaking in for lunch. And I have a problem. The lunch menu might be better. How the hell did that happen? The chicken parm sando was special. Read that again, because I want you to feel how stupid it sounds. A sandwich. A chicken parm sandwich. In a city where I can eat anything, at any hour, prepared by people with Michelin stars and ego to match, and I'm telling you the thing worth talking about is a chicken parm sandwich. Obviously, go to Esther's. That was never in question. But if you have to pick, maybe go for lunch.

    I had heard so much about this place. My friend had gone years ago and loved it…read more They recently expanded. We made a reservation and sat at the bar. The bar staff was super attentive and helpful. They explained the menu and they make really fantastic cocktails. I think we ordered all wrong. The food was good, but nothing blew us away. That doesn't mean is was bad, it just wasn't what we were expecting. The sourdough pasta was a little more earthy and hearty than a typical pasta. It also seemed one dimensional. It needed some zest. (We added salt) The Cesar salad was also a little flat is flavor. Again, we had to add salt. The prawns were the best thing we had, and the sauce was really good. I couldn't bring myself to eat the eyeballs! The vibe inside is bustling, but warm and welcoming. The staff is really fantastic. The decor is nice and the bar seats are comfortable with backs on them. I definitely want to give this place another try. It looks like I should have gotten the pizza. That was on me. Next time!

    I get so excited to eat here! Absolutely delicious food! Of course we want to go on a Friday…read morenight before they go on vacation for a week but we had no idea. Thank goodness the chef squeezed us in! Before we got there I told my family that I was going to order everything on the menu. Not quite but we ordered more than usual. The family is so very nice and they work their butts off. Everyone will tell you that it's very small and nothing elegant but I will tell you that it's comfortable and cozy! It feels like home. Thank you for working us in!

That just doesn't happen that often, so wife and I came - minds and mouths BLOWN AWAY! Cute place WAAY off the Strip but in a strip mall. (reservations needed) PEOPLE: Albino and Erma are the best, with their son also taking care of you. You literally sit five feet from Albino (pic) as he whips out THE BEST ITALIAN CUISINE IN VEGAS! (no caveats) FOOD: Los Olivos salad, sinful bread, super-light calamari, 'made-to-order'(?) lasagana, the lamb (pic), and a shrimp scampi that *stunned* my very culinarily experienced spouse are not to be missed‼ Besides my insane same-day-flights visit, Shar and I also did a w/e in LAS and ate here *both nights*!! Completely diff but fabulous meals. Like I said, believe that gives my review creds - trust me :D p.s. Almost forgot: bring your fav bottle of vino - no corkage

    Lovely place for a date night or dinner with the gals. Ambiance is dim lit and intimate, but can be…read morea little loud. I loved the decor, it gave speakeasy vibes. Staff was attentive, welcoming, charismatic which added to my first time dining here. Overall id totally come back. I find it overpriced but its vegas and at least I know itll be tasty food (ex: how is one meatball $10 excluding tax + tip) Free Bread (5/5): Loved the toasted garlic bread!!! Cauliflower & salami came out too but I didnt try it Spicy Rigatoni Vodka + Meatball add-on (4.5/5): Both were delicious. No option to add chicken so i ordered a side of meatballs which is not on the menu ($10 per meatball). For $36, the vodka pasta should come with a protein. Tortellini Ragu (3/5): Loved the ragu sauce & meat, I felt the tortellini was a little too rich but I think thats personal preference. Couldve came with more meat for $38. I wouldnt order again Tiramisu (5/5): Soooo good, definitely recommend. its enough for two people Tip: Make reservations in advance as its very popular. If you dont, you may get lucky and snag a spot at one of the two bars inside like we did!

    We dined at Carbone for my birthday, and because even after all these years reservations are hard…read moreto come by, ours was for 9pm and we were seated closer to 9:25. The restaurant is much larger than meets the eye and we were seated in the small back room with the additional bar. There were quite a few tables open. Service was attentive and professional. We ordered a bottle of wine which they kept chilled and always made sure to refill our glasses as needed. I was a huge fan of the complimentary starters and to be honest I think they were my favorite part of the meal. A member of the staff comes to your table to serve a chunk of parmesan cheese cut right off the block. You also receive a bowl of pickled cauliflower, a beautifully presented salami rose plate, and a basket of 3 types of fresh bread. Our waiter informed us that everything was served family style and meant to be shared, so I found it interesting that they split our order of Spicy Rigatoni Vodka for us. It's one of their most well-known dishes and we really enjoyed it. The Octopus Pizzaiolo was delicious, especially with the inclusion of the crispy potatoes. The thick piece of fish on the Salmon Oreganata was beautiful but the salmon itself lacked a bit of seasoning. They bring around a dessert cart but we opted out as nothing caught our eye and we were pretty full. They brought out a small birthday dessert with a candle, which was delicious and always appreciated.

    This was my first time at this location. I have dined at the Peoria local quite a few times so I…read morewas excited to try this one. We were seated as soon as we walked in. We had reservations at 5pm so it wasn't busy yet. The dining was very nicely furnished. They have about the same amount of seating on the patio as in the dining room with a bar and high top tables in the middle. I asked if the White Truffle Garlic Bread could be made gluten free. I was so happy to hear that they can. I felt like I had died and gone to cheesy heaven.before I developed my wheat allergy I ordered garlic bread anywhere it was in the menu. It's one of my favorite foods. So when I say theirs is quite possibly the best I've ever had in my life, it means something. We ordered family style for the entrees. We ordered the Bolognese Pappardelle, Strozzapreti, Ricotta Cavatelli( subbed gf pasta), Chicken Scarpariello and Short Rib Lumache. They were all absolutely delicious. Dessert did not disappoint either. We ordered the Brookie sundae and the Tiramisu. I couldn't have the Tiramisu but I was told that it was great. The Brookie sundae was a fun dessert. It came with vanilla, pistachio and chocolate gelato, whip and some sort of cake on the bottom. I didn't go all the way down because of my stupid allergy again. The gelatos were all good. It came with a side dish with strawberries and nuts and little chocolate balls. I can't wait to go back again. Next time I'll tell the rest of the table to get their own garlic bread so I don't have to share mine. I'll have dreams about that bread. So heavenly!!!!

Out of everything we ordered, my favorites were the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, Chicken Pesto, and the Pepperoni Pizza with Hot Honey. The Chicken Pesto was a little more lemony than I expected, but I would still order it again because it was very good. The Spicy Rigatoni Vodka had the perfect amount of spice not too spicy, but enough to give it great flavor. The Strozzapreti and White Truffle Garlic Bread were not my personal favorites, but my family really enjoyed both of them. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere were great, and I would definitely come back.
