    Inside of the New York New York Hotel in Vegas. Our food was exceptional and the service was as well.

    We decided to stop here on our way to the Cirque Du Soleil show we were going to that evening. Lucky us, we made it just in time for their Happy Hour and it was perfect for us. Not being that hungry the options were great ! We started with the Calamari which was so fresh. Then the wood fired oven pizza ! so good !! Our main server was great but that's not the best part. We had two other servers stop by and ask if we needed anything. And actually a different server that brought me a fresh iced tea before I ran out. Amazing service by all... The seating area was really nice and clean. Not super fancy but also not budget either. Really nice chandeliers and overall look of the place. I would say give it a try for the great food. Amazing service and really nice atmosphere. Aloha

    Our dinner here was unexpectedly amazing! We got the vodka pasta with meatballs and chicken parmigiana, both were delicious. I couldn't stop eating, everything was so good. Service was great, our food came out quickly, just an overall great experience.

    Made reservations to dine here before the New Edition concert at T-Mobile Arena next door. No wait for a table on this Friday evening. We requested to sit "outdoors" which is really still inside the casino but just as beautiful! We shared a 24oz Rib Eye and a Caesar Salad. The Rib Eye was cooked to our satisfaction when ordered medium! Francisco our server was great about watching the time and making sure we made it to the concert on time. Highly recommend and looking forward to visiting again soon.

    I've eaten here, at the bar, three times in the past three months and each time has been great! LOVE the happy hour (at the bar, everyday, 3-6pm) with delicious food and drink specials. Great bartenders and servers, fun ambiance (right on the edge of the casino) and good tvs for watching games. Can also sit farther down, on the kitchen side, and watch the amazing food be put together by the chefs and pizzas go into the huge stone oven - very entertaining! Love this spot, highly recommend for a fun, delicious meal that's affordable (at least by Strip standards)!

    Sat at the bar, had attentive service, food was tasty, no complaints but was quite noisy due to proximity to casino floor

    Various pastas  all a very good size!

    I came to this restaurant inside NYNY for my best friend's 30th birthday dinner and it was really nice! The servers were very attentive and kind, one of them was in training but she was very sweet and working hard. The restaurant is unfortunately pretty exposed to the lobby/casino area so even though we were seated fairly far from the entrance, I could periodically smell a little bit of cigarette smoke - I hate it, and have asthma so I'm very sensitive to it :( nonetheless, the food tasted very good and the times I wasn't catching whiffs of cigarette smoke I really enjoyed the experience! We all had different types of pasta and shared, everything was very good. The prices were too bad either for a nice sit down place, I would say pretty standard. And I definitely left very, very full. I would certainly come back here again for another dinner if on the strip and wanting Italian!

    Wonderful food and service. Well decorated and lively Italian restaurant on the strip in Las Vegas.

    Stopped in again for dinner and can't say it's my favorite place. Service was super slow, sat for an hour before getting our food and the waiter blamed it on the kitchen, yet everyone around us got their food before us. They were on top of water refills and the food tasted good but the ravioli seemed a bit pricey for the portion. Overall nice atmosphere if you sit inside, the "patio" you will be bombarded with casino cigarette smoke.

    My best friend and I popped into this restaurant for happy hour while we waited for our other friend to get in from the airport. I loved the fresh, clean atmosphere(smelled no smoke). Our wait staff was very attentive even though it got to be pretty busy). She was funny, engaging, and just overall great! We took advantage of the well priced happy hour menu that offers a good mix of alcoholic drinks and food. We had the cauliflower and then had it again lol. We also had the margarita pizza(fresh out the pizza oven), meatballs, and calamari. Everything was delicious including the yummy drinks. Was the perfect start to our girls weekend!! Aaaaaannnnnddddd once again I gobbled the food up before taking a pic!

    So delicious! We visit Vegas often, but we had never tried this place before. We were seated on the "indoor-patio", right beside the slot machines, with plenty of "people watching" to enjoy, It's interesting to see this beautiful restaurant ... seemingly plucked from Italy and dropped right into the NYC NYC hotel in Vegas! With our meal, we ordered two appetizers: The Bruschette Assortite and the Calamaretti Fritti; they were both delicious... and possibly the BEST Calamari we have ever tasted; it was melt-in-your-mouth tender too!! Then came the POLO TOSCANO, which had so many delicious layers of goodness! Tender chicken, perfectly roasted potatoes, and cauliflower to round off the plate of goodness! And the TAGLIATELLE BOLOGNESE, which was perfectly cooked, presented, and full of Italian goodness! The atmosphere was great, the service was excellent, and the food portions were plentiful! We left perfectly satisfied; we will definitely be back! Please view the pictures; they will get your palate juices flowing!

We came on a Thursday at 6 PM and apparently the entire city had the same idea. Even with a reservation we waited about 20 minutes, and I overheard multiple walk-ins getting quoted 60-90 minutes. Make the reservation lol. First, the cocktails. I'm admittedly a cocktail snob and not easy to wow, but the strawberry gin cocktail and the passion fruit gin cocktail were both 10/10. My husband is currently busy trying to reverse engineer the recipes that's how much we loved them! The garlic bread was exactly what garlic bread should be: thin, buttery, garlicky, and dangerously easy to inhale. I had the carbonara and I truly couldn't ask for a better version at this price point. Rich, well done, no notes. And shoutout to Marla, who was absolutely hustling through the controlled chaos and still took great care of us.

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.

We started with our usual grilled octopus, which unfortunately was dry, chewy, and lacked the flavor we remembered. The short rib arancini was equally disappointing--it was dry, and the short rib filling was virtually nonexistent. The only highlights of the meal were the bread basket and the short rib agnolotti, both of which were excellent and lived up to our expectations. To make matters worse, the table next to us brought in a small dog. I'm a dog lover and even take my own dog to pet-friendly places, but unless it's a legitimate service animal, I don't believe it belongs in what's meant to be a fine dining experience. This was clearly not a service animal, and it distracted from what was already a disappointing evening. After so many wonderful experiences here over the years, this was the first time we've left truly disappointed. I sincerely hope this was just an off night, because Scarpetta has always been one of our favorite restaurants in Las Vegas.

Out of all the dishes we ordered, these are my ratings: my favorites - little gem Caesar salad 5/5 (perfect flavor and shareable portions) - peach, cheese and pastrami pizza 5/5 (pizza is perfection and I love all the different flavors of it) - Caio de pepe pasta and another corn pasta was really good. -Grilled shrimp appetizer was my all time favorite 6/5! The sauce with the bread and shrimp was IT! Loved it PASS -spaghetti and Meatballs were good but not great. Good portions but the flavor was just lacking. Spaghetti itself tasted too overpowered with the tomato sauce making it too tart. Not a fan. -pasta with curry and crab was interesting and probably more suitable for those with more adventurous taste. A few bites in and I passed on it. We also ordered the sourdough bread with three dipping sauces which was good but nothing spectacular. The sourdough itself was a bit too tough on the outside and they cut the bread thick too, but the inside is soft. Overall vibe was good.

Overall, the place is very cute, great for a date, drinks with friends, I even saw a few birthday celebrations going on. The service was great, they are very attentive and helpful. I'd heard great things about their house made sourdough, but we didn't want to get too full from bread, so we decided to skip it. I regretted it when I saw almost every other table order it. We ordered Esther's chopped salad, rigatoni carbonara, and one of the pizzas. The pizza was great, best thing that we ate. We also had a few beers and a few cocktails, drinks were good. The chopped salad was extremely salty, I even picked out the salami, but it was still super salty. The carbonara on the other hand, was very under-seasoned, it just felt like I was eating plain pasta. But it may have been the saltiness of the salad that made the pasta feel the opposite. We looked around and saw some other dishes that we thought we should have tried instead, I'd like to come back and give it another try.

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.

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.
