    Italio is a tasty hidden spot serving up some great Italian-Argentinian fusion cuisine in Vegas. Tucked into a local casino (Molly's Tavern) off of busy Eastern Ave, it's a glassed-in smoke-free environment with a menu of small plates, tapas, and entrees from Chef Izzy Cabrera. I originally saw this spot on social media and made plans with a friend to come by for a weekday dinner. Note that they do also offer online ordering and takeout, but the quality of food here and presentation of dishes are best enjoyed on site, IMO. We shared the short rib empanadas and frito misto to start, with the Branzino and Calabrian pasta for our entrees, and the tiramisu with orange for dessert - this was more than enough for two people and allowed us to get a good feel for the chef's strengths. The empanadas were a wonderful starter, filled with tender beef inside delicate crispy skins, topped with two sauces. The frito misto featured a combination of squid rings and tentacles with prawns, with a marinara style sauce for dipping and a creamy pesto sauce on the plate. Pieces were lightly breaded and nicely crispy. The grilled Branzino dish was great, tender fish served atop a Calabrian pepper risotto with a citrus sauce that I could not get enough of - this dish wasn't spicy but had a nice warm heat to it. The same sauce base is used in the Calabrian Pasta for a creamy linguini dish topped with a trio of perfect prawns. Both entrees were really good and the portion sizes were large, ample for sharing. We ended with dessert, a cup of tiramisu with orange - an unusual flavor combination for me but one that somehow worked well without either the orange or the coffee notes overpowering the other. The food was wonderful and service was attentive and friendly throughout. I would like to come back for the Argentinian Asado combo that the table next to us ordered for dinner: it's a surf and turf platter with bone marrow and chimichurri rice, how amazing does that sound?! They also have brunch and some dinners have live music available, which we would like to try as well. Hopefully this spot will do well enough to eventually move elsewhere, as the location is a bit of a deterrent for some and difficult to stumble upon if you don't already know about it.

    Hi guy's, we were looking for an late night Italian restaurant and stumbled on this love haven. We were a little surprised that it's located inside of Molly's! I know!! Wait don't be discouraged. It's beautiful inside. Once you walk through the front entrance it's off to the right. When we came in the owner greeted us along with his executive Chef. The staff was friendly and seated us quickly. Menu's were brought over and we ordered wine and appetizers. And next our entrees. First came the wine, it wasn't the best but it's something I've had before. I'm not into dry wines so this was fine for me. We ordered the Moscato D'asti which was $30 for the bottle. Now the fact that the correct label was on and not a glass of the same wine for $15-$25 was honest and I appreciate that. Next our appetizers were tomato soup and grilled cheese. Very good, thick with the bold flavors, and the acidic taste was cut with balsamic. Entrees!! My choice was the sea bass on a bed of risotto. The bass was on point crispy but tender and not over dry as I've had before. The risotto was a little spicy but I'm a baby with spicy but it paired perfectly with the bass. Hubby: Braised short rib, fingerling potatoes, broccolini with a Marsala sauce. He said it was outstanding. Dessert: absolutely delicious! Listen guy's try this place, I'm serious!! Date night dream. The music is so romantic.

    What a treat ! And thank you for the recommendation. Went for dinner and was very surprise by the quality of food for the price. Everything was delicious and great service. We were 3 and had a wonderful time from beginning to the end. I Definitely will be back.

    I took my wife here for our Anniversary and was blown away by the amazing ambiance and excellent food. We enjoyed beautiful live music while we were dining and I apologize I don't recall the name of the performer. The food was amazing and delicious my wife loved the branzino it was incredible and I loved the short rib empanadas! This is now our special restaurant where we come for romantic and intimate times it makes us so happy. I loved that the chef came out and asked how we enjoyed our meal and explained a lot about his cooking. This place is truly special

    Great place!!!! I have to say that it literally is a whole in the wall place, it's a nice little spot inside the bar , but once you go in as it's separate from the bar area it is an awesome little getaway, great staff, phenomenal service, and amazing food! This place is an Italian restaurant with an Argentinen infusion. The food and the presentation of the food is amazing with an amazing taste. This is defiantly a place to see and I will definitely will be returning. The chef is on to something here with his creations of food. I loved the staff, very hands on and on top of everything for it being a small little place I never expected a 5 star service as if I was a fine dining restaurant at the strip. You have to try the specialty plate for 2, it has a great variety of chimichurri rice, steak, octopus, vegetables and Bone marrow I'm sure there was more but I can't remember the rest haha. A place that will. It disappoint!!!

    Table setting.. I love the simplicity of it

    We went to Italio for their Easter Brunch Special. They have different menus for this event. I was so satisfying on how they welcome us with the owner and the staffs. We started our brunch with some drinks. We ordered ham and cheese Empanadas, chimmichuri muscles and Asado & Huevos and we end with a sorbet ice cream. I would recommend all of them to try when you visit Italio. Foods are amazing, you will never regret it. Note: 1.check for their hours what time they open and double check if under 21 is allowed. 2. They are close to freed bakery in Easter Ave Las Vegas 3. Sometime they have performer it depends if they have more reservation.

    First! And won't be my family's last! This place is a hidden gem with elevated experience and food. It is rare to find a good restaurant with both exceptional food and customer service. This location adds great value to the Henderson community and worth the drive. The food has flavors beyond paying over priced Las Vegas Strip price. Come one time and you will get hooked! A place you won't regret, I promise.

    I heard about this restaurant from a friend of mine who's a major foodie....let me just say It did not disappoint! The food is incredible and if you can believe it, taste even better than it looks. The presentation alone is a A+++. I was so amazed by this restaurant that I decided to have my bridal shower here. The owners went above and beyond making my party special and customized the menu to our liking. Chef Izzy you are a master at your craft. *the empanadas are a must

    I've been wanting to write this review since last week. That's when hubby & I had a pleasure to taste some of the amazing dishes of Italio and Gyu. These 2 places are located inside Molly's tavern on Eastern Ave in Henderson. Hubby wanted to take me there for a few weeks now and we finally made it. I must say the dishes & service were amazing! We were told we should definitely come back during their sunday brunch. Looking forward to the second location closer to us in SW part of the valley

    Leilani Z.

    It shares the main door of Molly's but they have their own private section. It's great because you don't even realize Molly's is next door once you're inside the restaurant. We've eaten here before and every time the food is delicious. It's clean, great staff and atmosphere especially during live music. Next time we are going for Sunday brunch!

    Chimichurri Steak
    Lee N.

    The place is a bit hard to find, but the food is delicious! The restaurant shares a location with Gyu and is inside Molly's Tavern. We ordered the short rib empanadas, Calabrian pasta, and chimichurri steak. The Calabrian pasta was delicious but came with a hefty portion of noodles. The empanadas came with 2 sauces that were so good we wanted to scrape the rest off the plate after we finished the empanadas. The chimichurri rice also had nice bits of crispy rice in it.

    Sally B.

    Had a great service by Andrew. Must try the Short ribs empanada and the Argentinian Asado for 2.

The vibes are really fun, very vibrant and there are various rooms that could offer more intimate spaces if you wanted. We were greeted pretty promptly, but the service was admittedly slow. He was attentive when around, and there was someone always coming around and filling our water, but it did take a bit to get our order in and receive our food. The food was absolutely delicious! I can't remember the name of my meal, but it had steak with chimichurri, fried plantain, pico, avocado, beans, rice and an egg. My favorite part was definitely the steak! It was perfectly cooked and the chimichurri added the best brightness that the dish needed! There are so many spots in Vegas so I'm not sure I'd come back but I definitely enjoyed it.

Every food item on the Happy Hour menu is $12, which makes it a great way to try a variety of dishes without spending a fortune in Vegas. We ordered the shrimp tacos, CHICA nachos, Firecracker Wings, quesa-birria empanadas, potato flautas, shrimp ceviche, and ahi tuna bites. Everything was absolutely delicious, and there honestly wasn't a bad dish in the bunch. One thing to keep in mind is that these truly are small plates. Don't expect a lot of food with each $12 dish. They're perfect for ordering several different things and sharing, but if you're really hungry, you'll definitely want to order multiple plates. The Firecracker Wings had a really nice kick to them. We loved the spice, but if you have a lower spice tolerance, be careful with those! Also, a heads-up about the shrimp ceviche: CHICA's version is more tomato-based rather than the bright, lime-forward ceviche you might be expecting. It was still really good, but if you don't like tomato-based ceviche, that's definitely something to know before ordering. For drinks, we tried the CHICA-Rita, Palomita, and Tommy's Margarita. They were running a 2-for-1 drink special for $21 total, which was such a great deal, especially for Vegas. Between the absolutely delicious food, fun atmosphere, and Happy Hour pricing, we really enjoyed CHICA. It's a great spot if you like ordering a bunch of small plates for the table and getting to try a little bit of everything.

I ordered the braised short rib and my boyfriend the NY strip steak. We shared the Mac and cheese (a solid recommendation from our server Anthony) and were blown away. Both entrees were amazing but I will forever think about the braised short rib over mashed potatoes and carrots. We ordered a drink each, my boyfriend the red wedding with real raspberry puree that was so smooth he loved it (he doesn't like the taste of alcohol). I ordered the iconic cocktail served in a horn. Both were well balanced and had us feeling a buzz! Our server Anthony was a highlight. He made great conversation, was super attentive, had great recommendations, and provided well paced service. He even asked if we wanted videos of the steak and drink presentation! We love asking servers for recommendations and guidance on choosing a good fitting drink and menu items, but love it even more when they actually care about our taste, are knowledgeable about menu items, and genuinely care to guide us towards something we will enjoy. Anthony did just that! He really made the experience so enjoyable in multiple ways and made great conversation, mentioning that his wife ate the short rib her entire pregnancy (I can understand why). This place was a gem and next time we're in Vegas we will definitely make it back, hopefully with Anthony as our server again!

Looking at the descriptions, I figured I would love the cheeseburger and the ranchero and the cashier recommended the chicken alfredo. The cheeseburger and the ranchero were disappointingly mediocre. While my favorite, the chicken alfredo was not special as well. I'm definitely willing to try some other flavors but the flavors I tried so far today definitely did not impress. There was a lot to be desired when it came to the food and I say that as someone who is typically happy with most meals I try.
