    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

    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!

    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.

    Great places to eat as a non Las Vegas resident! I recommend sitting inside and get reservations! Also go on an empty stomach, because it's a lot of food!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Montse S.

    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!

I can imagine this would be a great place for any type of celebration. It feels intimate yet lively! Everything we ordered that night was amazing and delicious. My friend and I shared the arancini which was a great starter. We would order that again! She ordered the crazy alfredo and her exact words were "This entree was actually with the price." It looked delicious! I ordered the melrose pesto, which tasted so fresh. I loved the creamy basil sauce. You can just tell this place uses fresh ingredients and makes everything in house. We opted for the bread service as well and the bread was so garlicky and good! Every staff and our server was extremely friendly. The service was great! Parking seems like a bit of an issue. There is a small lot but I did see many people leaving the small lot to get to their car that was parked on the street. All in all, I love this place! I would definitely come back here again! I would highly recommend this place to everyone.
