    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

    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)!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    We were excited to eat at this Italian restaurant. We had eaten here before but it had been several years since our last visit. A lot has changed. My husband and I weren't super hungry and we had reservations at another restaurant later in the day so we decided to order the Burrata appetizer and split the chicken Parmesan. The Burrata was pretty good. It was a different take on Barta instead of a balsamic glaze. There was a basil pesto sauce and it was served with arugula. We did enjoy the Burrata. Unfortunately, the quality of the chicken on the chicken parmesan was not equivalent to the price. The chicken was spongy, chewy and tasted processed. I am not sure if our order sat in the window for quite some time but normally chicken Parmesan has a crunchy coating on the outside. Our breading was very soggy. If you are looking for a great chicken parmesan Superfrico in the Cosmopolitan hands-down has the best chicken Parmesan. I did not see bread on the menu and no one brought us any, but it would have been great to have had a side of bread to dip in the extra sauce. Another table came in as we were just finishing and they were brought bread. Our server was friendly, but may have seemed a little irritated that we did not order two entrées. The ambience in this restaurant was casual white walls with red booths, and Italian decor.

    This is still one of my favorite restaurants in vegas. Idc about the 3.8 stars still. This place has excellent service and excellent food. I love the layout and I love that they are dog friendly. This place is awesome and will always be awesome.

    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.

At one point, I requested a separate table away from everyone since my partner had a little too much to drink, and Anissa was incredibly kind and accommodating without any hesitation. I really appreciated how comfortable she made us feel. Tira's hospitality was amazing! She took the time to talk with us, take our pictures, check in on us throughout the evening, and even set up our table to make it look extra special for the birthday celebration. She was genuinely so sweet and made sure we had a wonderful dining experience. Nick was our server and was extremely patient, attentive, and accommodating throughout the entire meal. We never felt rushed even though it was closing time, and he took great care of us. For food, we ordered the calamari, salad, surf & turf, chicken, and of course the butter cake for dessert. The food was okay overall, but the exceptional service is what really stood out and made our night memorable.

We were served complimentary truffle popcorn, which turned out to be addictingly delicious. Top 2 favorites: Ocean roll: fresh fish, the chili crunch oil was the game changer. Wagyu cheeseburger: amazing beef flavor, toppings were nicely balanced: cheese, pickles, grilled onions. Worth it! Other favorites: Dynamite roll: tempura shrimps were crispy even with all the sauce. Shrimp on top and on the inside. Truffle fries: just had a slight hint of truffle flavor. Fries were a bit thicker than I like. Service was great, ambiance was nice. We thoroughly enjoyed this meal. The happy hour deal is definitely unbeatable! Maybe there is a parking lot close by, but downstairs was by Valet only.

    I'd been thinking about this meal since my first pan roast in June…read more I arrived at the Palace Station Casino on Saturday. We got in the Oyster Bar Line at 11:34AM. Reading previous reviews, I saw some people stating that they waited two hours so I was mentally preparing. It seemed as though there were about 15 people in front of us in line so I was hoping it would go fast. We ended up getting seated at 12:59pm. So it was about an hour and a half for us. Victoria was our server and she was on top of it! Immediately when we sat down, she handed us two sourdough bread rolls, some butter, and the menus. She asked us what we wanted to drink and my partner ordered a draft beer, whereas I just had my water from my water bottle. She then asked us if we needed some time to look at the menu or if we were ready and after an hour and a half wait, we were well prepared with what we wanted to order. We ordered a dozen of the gulf oysters, and two pan roasts. One pan roast was the combo (level 2) and the other was the palace pan roast (level 3). When both pan roasts came out they were HOT, but that was not stopping us from shoving every bite of deliciousness into our mouths. Having had the palace pan roast in the past, and now trying the combo pan roast, I really did enjoy the combo better because I'm more of a seafood person. My partner had the palace pan roast for the first time and he instantly understood why I was raving about it for months. There's just something about the tomatoey, creamy, bisque like consistency mixed with some white rice that I just can't describe other than perfect. This is what you dream about on a cold fall day. I've personally always enjoyed the level 2 spice level, because I don't find it to be spicy or painful at all, but the man in front of us in line said he prefers 5. I like that you're able to customize it because everyone has a different spice tolerance and what everyone finds enjoyable is subjective per person. My partner and I ended up ordering an extra side of rice when it became apparent that the one side each would not be enough for us. He loves his rice, and I only take nibbles, so he usually eats mine. However, for this meal, I was not sharing my rice, so he had to order another side. Overall- highly recommend. The food is well worth the wait. After being in line for an hour and a half it's hard to be grumpy when the service is so efficient & friendly and the food taste this good.

Level 6 has a nice kick while still allowing you to fully enjoy all the flavors. Level 10 is the spiciest option if you're looking for more heat. The unlimited white rice and sourdough bread were the perfect additions to the dish. Everything was delicious and satisfying. Tip: Make sure you arrive with enough time, as there can sometimes be a wait to be seated. It's definitely worth the wait!
