    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.

    LAVO in Las Vegas was a good dining experience overall. I ordered the chicken parmesan as my entrée, the 16-ounce meatball as an appetizer, and a virgin lavender mojito since I don't drink alcohol. The food was good, and the chicken parmesan and meatball were both satisfying and flavorful. My biggest critique was the portion sizes compared to the price point. For what you're paying, I expected the servings to be a little more generous. The food was enjoyable, but I would have liked to feel that the portions matched the upscale pricing. The other issue was the wait time. It took quite a while for the food to come out. However, I understand that the restaurant was extremely busy during my visit, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and the experience at LAVO. With slightly larger portions and faster service, I think it could easily be an even better dining experience.

    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.

    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

    Bucatini Carbonara
    Austin Z.

    Solid Italian option on the Strip. Tao Hospitality Group restaurant's are reliable and Lavo's interior vibes and menu make for a fun meal out. Service is always premium. Would recommend Lavo for a nice Italian meal out on the Strip without completely breaking the bank. Would definitely recommend the Bucatini Carbonara... it was awesome

    Eggs Benedict* **
    Tracey M.

    I was really looking forward to brunch at LAVO, but unfortunately the service fell well below expectations. We waited more than 45 minutes just to receive a bread basket, and our waitress was largely inattentive throughout the meal. She walked by our table multiple times without acknowledging us, and even forgot to put in my sangria order. To make matters worse, several tables that were seated after us were served and eating before we ever received our food. We also noticed another table speaking with a manager about similar issues with the wait and service, so it didn't seem like we were the only ones having this experience. The one bright spot was Joe. He was fantastic--he constantly made sure our water glasses stayed full, cleared dishes promptly, and stepped in to help wherever he could. He did his best to make up for the lack of attention from our waitress, and his professionalism did not go unnoticed. As for the food, it was fine, but nothing memorable or exceptional, especially considering the price and the long wait. Overall, the experience didn't live up to the reputation, and unfortunately, I wouldn't rush back.

    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!

    Kate W.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

The service itself was fine, although the staff's fake Italian accents throughout the evening felt more distracting than authentic. We were also seated near the open kitchen, which was extremely loud and uncomfortable. There were constantly servers and other staff members huddled together having conversations directly behind us, making it difficult to enjoy what was supposed to be a special dinner. We started with the meatballs, which were a major disappointment. The exterior, which I assume was supposed to be crispy and fried, was instead burnt, while the inside was bland and lacking any real flavor. The bread was probably the best part of the meal, which is saying something. For our entrées, we ordered the Fettuccine al Burro and Rigatoncini alla Vaccinara. Both were incredibly basic pasta dishes that felt substantially overpriced and, frankly, weren't memorable at all. Unfortunately, what was memorable was what happened after dinner. Both of us became violently ill following the meal. After a miserable trip home, I ultimately had to go to urgent care, where I was told I likely had a foodborne illness. I remained sick for nearly two weeks afterward. Between the disappointing food, uncomfortable seating, chaotic atmosphere, and getting seriously ill after the meal, this was an incredibly disappointing experience--especially for an anniversary dinner. Needless to say, I will never be returning to Mother Wolf.

I called to book our table, and the hostess was very helpful in answering any lingering questions. The five of us (adults) arrived for our 6pm reservation and were seated right on time at a lovely table with starched linens. The wine list and specialty beverage list was given to us for review as we decompressed from the Las Vegas heat, and settled into the ambiance of the restaurant. Our server, Lauren, came by and once she ascertained that we are not wine drinkers, she explained the specialty cocktails and mocktails. As she spoke with each of us, she learned our names and continued to address each of us personally throughout service by name. After our drink orders were placed, we were given the dinner menu and the 4-course summer menu. Three of us opted for the 4-course summer menu (a wide variety of choices in each course), and two opted for a la carte dining. Each dish was carefully explained as we began to review the menu with Lauren, and all dietary restrictions were explained to ensure the dishes would be suitable. At no point did Lauren ever falter in describing the dishes and what flavor profiles we could expect. During our meal, Chef Mimmo visited our table and observed the front of the house in action. After the entrees had been cleared, and with plenty of time allowed for us to linger in the experience, the dessert menu was presented after dinner coffee orders were placed. Once again, Lauren went above and beyond to discuss flavor and components involved in each offering. The meal is paced for complete enjoyment; the table staff kept waters filled, napkins replaced, dinnerware exchanged based on the dish, and they moved seamlessly with Lauren during service. All in all, we ordered 21 dishes throughout the course of the dining experience. The highlights: Carpaccio di Manzo - was rolled with the freshest of herbs and richest of balsamics. Lobster Ravioli - packed with fresh lobster (no filler nonsense) and sauced perfectly; each ravioli was easily 2-3 bites per ravioli. OSSO BUCO - if you order nothing else, make sure you have the Osso Buco; absolutely melts in your mouth and yes, you get a marrow spoon with the bone to relish every morsel of the dish. Panna Cotta - it was so light on the tongue and a decadent, but not heavy, end to a delightful meal. We will most assuredly be back to try the Ricotta Cavatelli Ragu di Cinghiale, the Iberico Pluma, and the Coniglio Brasato! Please read the menu prices prior to dining. Their food is priced accordingly with the superb service you will receive.
