    Pappardelle Veal Bolognese**
    Alexis K.

    Definitely not my favorite place to eat ayce for $65 brunch. I thought it was pretty average for what it was and the food seemed okay at best. It also took forever to come out so keep that in mind if you're used to eating at other ayce places. There are definitely way better ayce places that I would recommend. For the main topic of food, everything I had was pretty bland. Don't let the pictures fool you. Everything lacked a lot of flavor and it all seemed very inconsistent. I think I would've enjoyed going to a buffet instead. Out of all the dishes I had, the only non cooked meal I enjoyed the most were the oysters. I thought they were pretty fresh. Other than that, the overall ambiance of the place is beautiful and it's a nice brunch spot if you have nothing else to try. Staff were also meh. Not my favorite experience. If you do end up checking them out, I recommend ordering many dishes the first time around so you're not waiting around for what seemed like years for your food.

    Seafood Fra Diavolo**
    Larry D.

    Ambience was nice. Sat on the second level with a nice view of the restaurant. Noise level was pleasant. Service was just OK. Was not happy that we put our order in and told that everything would be paced appropriately. Of course, all the appetizers came out before we got our drink order. Oysters were presented nicely and fairly standard. No complaints there. I thought the Caesar salad was excellent. This was by far the best part of the meal. Pasta fra diavolo was terrible. Thick rotini pasta with no flavor. Mostly calamari rings and minimal other fish. One of the worst I have had. Spouse had the Bolognese pasta which was good. Very disappointing

    Overall, just an okay experience. We had to wait a while for a table despite arriving within our reservation window. The restaurant was very busy but not too loud. Once we got to the table it still took a while for the server to come and there would quite long stretches of time between him checking on us or coming back for additional orders. The food was mostly good. We weren't really a fan of the quality of the oysters. The food portions were large, which can be good or bad when at an all you can eat. For the price, I don't think I would go again.

    ENDLESS BRUNCH REVIEW: Located inside the Palazzo, Lavo's endless brunch is from 10am-2pm Saturdays and Sundays. Reservations highly recommended, and the best time to get there is 15-20 minutes before opening. Alexis was our server and she was a ROCKSTAR! It is a well lit spacious venue and there was also a DJ playing a great variety of tunes. Food variety and choices are plentiful, I really feel you don't need to even worry about the "additional charge" items. Standouts for me were the Artisinal breads and breakfast pastries with the spread assortment, both the beet and Caesar salads and all the raw bar items-Raw oysters, Salmon Crudo, and Tuna Tartare. Brunch menu items are all made to order and keep in mind that they are FULL SIZED PORTIONS! Faves were the Polenta Pancakes, Eggs Benedict and Chicken and Waffles. We also had enough room to try the Pappardelle Bolognese, made-to-order Pannetone Tiramisu, and Classic Tiramisu and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake of the dessert cart. Definitely worth the $65 price tag and we look forward to coming back!

    lLAVO delivers a reliably great experience with an Italian‑inspired menu that's both crowd‑pleasing and well executed. Service is top‑notch, attentive, polished, and impressively consistent even when the place is packed. And it is packed: busy at all hours, including late on a Sunday night, which says a lot. A lively, high‑energy spot that still manages to feel refined.

    The whole experience was great! The restraint has a pleasant, festive yet subtle vibe. We were seated in upstairs which was pleasantly unexpected. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He explained the menu well. Although speaking fast but who cares. I like his working attitude. He seems like his profession. We were served complimentary and beautifully presented pickled vegetables and garlic bread sticks which was another pleasant surprise.! Fried calamari served with a few pieces of tried zucchini on top which is a perfect addition! One of the best fried calamari I've had! Seafood pasta was very tasty and the pasta cooked perfectly al dente. Truffle fries were tasty and piled up high! They are very generous with portions! We end up having leftovers to bring home! Definitely a keeper and will return for the next special occasion.

    I have stayed in the Venetian/Palazzo many many times and one of the restaurants I haven't tried was Lavo There's such great restaurants all over and many to choose from, you can never try it all. That just meant I have to keep coming back every month or so literally hehe We didn't make reservations, only because sometimes You just don't know what to eat at the moment. But felt like pasta tonite, So I decided to give Lavo a try. Love the ambiance of this Italian restaurant. It was a busy Sunday evening on this Memorial weekend. Got seat at the area high top area. Had one seafood pasta to share and $38 glass of rose wine to end the evening. Would love to come back and try more food items Thank you for the hospitality

    We had a hard time finding an open restaurant during our recent visit to Vegas, as a big conference had rented out many of the restaurants near where we were staying. I'm glad we found Lavo! I had a nice experience. The atmosphere was really beautiful and I enjoyed my food. It was a little expensive, but on par with other nearby places. The food came out quickly, and while not life changing, it hit the spot after a long day. The only pain point was the service. Our server was working a ton of tables, so we rarely saw her after she took our order. It took forever to get our check when we were ready to go.

    Blistered Shishito Peppers**
    Gina D.

    We loved LAVO, their shishito peppers and garlic bread made for the perfect appetizer combination, best shishitos I've ever had. They gave us a delicious appetizer tray of pickled veggies and some house bread with red sauce, so good! The cavatelli truffle ricotta was also delicious, and the chicken Marsala was good. Full drink list and the drinks were delicious, restaurant itself is gorgeous. They are expensive but you would expect that based on location. We had three people dining and asked for one person to be on their own check prior to placing our order and they said no, but other than not splitting checks it was a perfect experience. No issues with service either our server was on top of things.

    Oysters
    Lainey W.

    Service was great! Immediately offered champagne upon walking in and were constantly checked in on throughout the meal. The food was super yummy and loved the breads and spreads option. Would very much recommend attending Sunday brunch that is AYCE and has oysters, truffle, seafood, carpaccio- all the wonderful things! Looks right over a beautiful part of the strip. Will definitely return!

    What a great deal! Not only is Alex outstanding at her job, but the way she orchestrated the entire experience was unforgettable. As locals, the strip can be a nuisance but the palazzo is a different place. I took advantage of the easy parking of the palazzo side and parked on P2 which led me straight to the elevator tugging me a straight shot to lavo. The venue is beautiful and the dj was playing vibes. The bottomless mimosas came with three Juices for us to add as much as we wanted to our bubbly. The food was so good I mean oysters salmón crudo the pancakes the pizza but best of all the veal ragout. I can't wait to go back. One of my favorite meals in a long time and I can't wait to go back.

    Cesar Classic Caesar Salad**
    Stephanie R.

    Woooow this restaurant is not only aesthetically pleasing, but it also has great service and phenomenal pasta. I'm usually a little skeptical about enjoying Italian food, but I was blown away by the braised rib pasta which wasn't even my dish! Our server was on top of getting us settled in with drinks and appetizers before our main course. I will definitely be returning next time I'm in Vegas!

    Mushroom pizza burnt!
    Ricky S.

    Visited LAVO Las Vegas with a group of 7 on a Monday night. Service: We had reservations, but the experience started off poorly. The host was very rude, which honestly set a negative tone right away and almost made us want to cancel. Thankfully, once we were seated, our waitress was nice and helpful throughout the meal, which helped improve the overall experience. Complimentary bread was provided for the table, but it wasn't anything special. Food: The burrata appetizer was delicious, and I especially enjoyed the eggplant that came with it. The burrata and arugula pizza was my personal favorite of the night. The penne pasta was also good. The tomahawk steak was decent and fun with the tableside garnish presentation. The seabass was just okay and didn't stand out. Unfortunately, the mushroom and shaved truffle pizza was not good at all -- we didn't realize until we took it home that the bottom of the pizza was completely burnt. Ambiance: The ambiance felt very typical Vegas -- dark lighting and loud music, which can be fun for a group dinner. However, we were seated in the back room away from everyone else, which felt a bit odd. The back room didn't have the same energy and wasn't as nice as the main dining area. Overall, there were some solid dishes and our waitress was great, but the rude host and uneven food quality made the experience a bit mixed.

The food was very tasty, the wine list offered a great selection at reasonable prices, and the staff was friendly throughout our visit. We were seated promptly with our reservation, even though the restaurant was quite busy. When I made the reservation through OpenTable, I casually noted that we were celebrating our anniversary and did not expect anything to come of it. We were genuinely surprised when they brought us a piece of tiramisu with "Happy Anniversary" written on the plate. It was such a thoughtful touch and a perfect way to end the evening.

We both forced ourselves NOT to eat it all. Octopus - Appetizers were interesting; it was okay, just not what I expected. Different textures. See my picture. Frutti De Mare - My usual dish, but my buddy actually ordered this. Generous portions, well at least the pasta was. He was only able to finish half his pasta. 8oz Rib Eye Pan Seared - Done perfectly. Impressed to get a perfect cook on such a thin slice of rib eye. The potatoes and sides were done perfectly also. So glad I ordered this rather than the larger rib eye which is what I typically get. Perfect quantity for me as a light eater. Tiramisu - This was okay. My favorite so far (other than home made) is from Zozo in Reno, NV. And to wash it all down, a bottle of Pinot. Ambiance - A very busy location filled with mostly locals. Beautiful decor location. Bar, table, indoor, and outdoor seating. Semi open kitchen. Clean restrooms. We took a ride share, but there was plenty of parking when we got here. Service - Good. Price - $180 + generous tip. A little expensive for what we got, especially considering we were off strip. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 1992.

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

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.

They also serve freshly squeezed lemonade, which was refreshing. They do offer lunch specials, but nothing on that menu really caught my eye. One thing to note: unlike many Italian restaurants, they don't offer complimentary bread. If you want bread for the table, you'll need to order it separately. Service was just okay--not bad, but nothing memorable. Parking was easy, which is always a plus.
