I've eaten here twice and the food is to die for!!! The focaccia bread is pillow soft and every dish we've ordered has tasted very authentic, high quality, expertly created. My only complaint is the VERY high prices. read more

Cute Italian dinner spot! It's inside the MGM on the main casino level. I will say it was alittle complicated to find from the outside in. The google maps weren't really leading us in the right direction to get inside. We made a reservation and were seated about 10 minutes later. They have plenty of pizza and pasta options. I opted for the eggplant Parmesan appetizer and it came out to be larger and more filling than I expected. Price point is I'd say 4-5 $ signs. That's to be expected with it being inside one of the major casinos. Dark and quiet atmosphere here and it wasn't too crowded during dinner time when we went. Another highlight was the dessert specifically the house made gelato (this texture is more similar to a soft serve which I prefer). He was explaining they make it all in house. If you're gonna get one, get the pistachio gelato! It was to die for and loved how they incorporated real salty pistachios inside the ice cream and also was at the very bottom for a yummy surprise. Service was pretty good, but they took a while for the food to come out and messed up on one of our groups order. More upscale and probably wouldn't come back for an everyday dinner occasion. read more

It was our first time here. We were seated promptly at our reservation time. It was fairly early - so no issue there. The bar looked like a nice place to have drinks, but you can also eat at high tables there --- even though it would be crowded. We had the bread basket which came with olive oil and butter. Bread was nothing special, but OK. Our server was very good and was there when we needed him. My husband had the chicken parmesan with a side of pasta (which is extra??) he said the dish was good and the portion size was generous. I had the short rib lasagna - which was very good. Baked and plenty of flavor. I would recommend having it. Overall, I would come back if I were at the MGM Grand and would recommend to friends. read more

We stopped in for date night last Friday at Luchini. We had a 6pm reservation and arrived right on time. We were told to stand and wait while they got the table ready. We went to the restroom and the table was ready a few minutes after we returned. Ambiance was great. It was dark and romantic and there were old school soulful songs playing in the background. Perfect for date night. After some time we received water, and some time after that our drink orders were taken. I got the spritz flight which came with 3 different types of spritz. They were all delicious but lacked any alcohol content. My husband wanted Corona but they unfortunately do not serve it. We were brought some "bread" and cheese dip and let me tell you that bread/cracker item is HARD! My husband tried it first and said it was really hard. I grabbed a piece and tried breaking it with my hands and was unable to. It was as hard as a rock! Be warned, you may break teeth on that thing! I don't know if it is supposed to be that way or if it just had no shelf life left. We ordered several appetizers and 2 entrees and were told the dishes would be coming out as they became ready. We had the Cesar Salad which was great. Nice portion large enough for us to share. Next up was the oysters on the half shell. I love oysters and was excited to have some. However, as shown in the photo below, they were just not fresh at all. They were falling apart and had some white thick slimy film all over them. Very disappointing. Next up were the stuffed clams, and while the filling tasted pretty good, the top breading was so salty I really thought they just sprinkled rock salt all over them. We continued on with some mussels which I noticed had an off smell the moment they were placed on our table. My husband tried them anyway against my better judgement and was able to confirm they were not fresh either. Sour or stale or old, just not edible at all. Unsure if there was a temperature issue with the fridge or in the kitchen, but the seafood was just not fresh at all. We also had the frito misto (calamari, shrimp, zucchini) and that was the only nice dish of the night. It was a good sized portion fried to perfection and came with a side of marinara sauce. On to the entrees. Hubby got the pesto pasta and liked it. I thought it was quite bland. I got the branzino which I thought would be a whole fish, but instead came out as 2 thin filets with tomatoes in the middle to make it appear as one piece. It tasted like Sole or some type of unknown whitefish, and you guessed it, was not fresh either. Ended up throwing that in the garbage. Out server Arturo was sweet and attentive and is the sole reason for both of the 2 stars in my rating. I am not sure if we will return. With so many food options available on the strip it would be difficult to revisit what was an unpleasant dining experience. read more

The food was very good. Had the spicy rigatoni, meatball side, and focaccia bread. Great meal and our waiter was very attentive. The atmosphere was good, right on the MGM walkway to the convention center so it was an open atmosphere. read more

First of all, the ambiance was super chill. The wait staff was prompt and eager to meet me and my wife's needs. The cocktails were expensive but worth it. I ordered the chicken parmesan which was juicy and included fresh mozzarella cheese. We made a reservation to eat here after going to Ka-Cirque du Soleil.

My sister and I went to celebrate our birthdays and we were impressed by the layout and decor. The food was typical Italian food and everything is basically a la carte. So for instance, the salmon doesn't come with anything but Salmon and to order a side of spaghetti pasta it was $16 and was a very small portion. The service was excellent but probably won't be back again due to overpriced average Italian food read more

Came to MGM grand last weekend to do other things. We saw this place just opened up and randomly we decided to eat here for dinner. I'm glad we did as our first-time dining here was fun and inviting. We decided to sit at the bar, where for some reason the bar section was more inviting than being behind in the dining area. Italian flair cuisine it did not disappoint. For their "complimentary bread" they gave a Torali, it reminded me of a soft pretzel. I wish they served it warm. For appetizers, we ordered Zuppi di Mussels and Shrimp Scampi. Both were very delicious! We both shared the New York strip steak, asparagus and highlight of the night was the Garbanzo Fries. Very nice texture. I recommend getting the Garbanzo fries. Our bartender, I believe his name was Matthew, he was awesome and had high energy. I loved his apron, and it was really leather. Also, on the outside of the restaurant you will find a to go pizza spot and a speakeasy. read more

The BEST Customer Service Ever! I'd like to commend General Manager, Mr. Kevin Sharpe! Kevin is what Customer Service is all about! The story begins with our family's plan to take a trip from Hawaii to Las Vegas but one in our family's plans fell through. We had a reservations for Luchini Dinner and Chez Bippy for a party of six which was changed to party of five. However, an issue arose as Chez Bippy had to close unexpectedly due to a broken water pipe. Kevin remedied this by providing us drink tickets & access to Hakkasan nightclub after a wonderful dinner. Dinner was fabulous along with dessert & wine provided! Long story short, reservations were made twice (one for 6 people and the second for 5 people), however with the issue with Chez Bippy, it was decided best to get reimbursed for the second reservation and to pay for my bill after dinner. My credit card that was charged twice (less the payment made after dinner that night) totaled almost $1400! What makes Kevin the BEST besides what he has already delivered, is, he kept in contact with me, he worked with me and assured me until my credit card reimbursements have been applied to my account. Kevin delivered! Aloha Kevin, You are the greatest! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so accommodating and for the BEST Customer Service ever! My family and I appreciate you, not because of what you've done for us but for being YOU! You are GENUINE!! Much love from Honolulu, Hawaii!! Lisa & Ohana! When we're back for a visit to LV, we will surely be back to Luchini's! And Chez Bippy! A Hui Hou Kevin! read more

Went here for our anniversary and had such an amazing dinner! We got the calamari to start and it was so delicious, and huge! I got the pesto pasta and he did the spicy Alfredo. Both were rich and delicious! For desert they did give us a complimentary gelato which was amazing. The restaurant was dimly lit and made it very romantic. I also ordered an espresso martini (not on the menu) and it was one of my favorites, not too sweet and no cream. Food all came out quickly and service was awesome. read more

I just visited this restaurant this week in Vegas. The ambiance of this place is so intimate with authentic Italian restaurant decor with an edgy vibe. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the tuna tar tar and Caesar salad both were sooooooooo delicious. Then for entree we ordered the shrimp parm, penne alla Rosa, the entire meal was so tasty and we topped off dinner with the pistachio gelato. OMG!!!! It was a great meal. The staff were attentive and courteous. I would definitely visit again and again. Additional comments at the pics. read more

They started out great but after a recent visit it was very disappointing. The first slice I received was juicy and with plenty of pepperoni and I had tried both the thin and thick slices but then I noticed that they after the opening they started cutting back on the quality and quantity or pepperoni on their specialty. Hopefully it will return but not optimistic read more

Had dinner two nights in a row here. The ambiance is top notch, one night at corridor table, great people watching, the other at an intimate table for three Had the mussels for an appetizer, they were so delicious, with a kick!, had to repeat that the second night. Two different pastas, both fantastic, the bolognese was to die for. Jessica and Ralph took care of us both nights. Great presence, professional service. Jessica helped navigate the wine list and menu choices; Ralph made all the details right. They both made the experience over the top! read more

This was my first visit to the restaurant. Service was incredible. Our server was very helpful with the many questions we had and helped us select some dishes. We had the Short Rib Lasagna Pinwheels and the Halibut. Food was excellent, as well as the cocktails. Those pictured are from Chez Bippy within Luchini, but equally wonderful. I'll definitely return to this location. read more

Beyond disappointed with our visit here. I booked our reservation way in advance for our last night in town and we still had to wait quite a bit before being seated. I did like the vibes inside the decor and lighting were very moody. Upon being seated our server was very monotone and seemed a bit irritated. We asked questions about the menu and he was not helpful at all. The menu is very small and you are not able to adjust things such as spiciness of a sauce. I saw a lot of hype about the pinwheel beef pasta dish, which we ordered two of. For $50 a pop we were disappointed when we got burnt crunchy pasta. The portions are very small, food very basic, over priced, and bad service. We were not happy and I would not recommend. read more

Lucini's Slice Shop at MGM Casino, Las Vegas - 4 Stars During my recent visit to the MGM Casino in Las Vegas, I decided to check out Lucini's Slice Shop, conveniently located next to their Italian restaurant. Although the restaurant was closed, the slice shop offered a quick and easy way to grab a bite.Stepping into the slice shop felt like a journey back to an old-school East Coast pizzeria, with wood accents and a charming, rustic decor. I even heard rumors of a hidden speakeasy somewhere on the premises. Though I tried to find it, the door didn't budge, adding a mysterious allure to the place. The environment was clean, welcoming, and provided a perfect spot to enjoy my slices.I tried their Diavola slice, which features 'nduja, hot soppressata, and Calabrian chili honey. The combination of spicy meats and the touch of sweet heat from the chili honey made for a delightful and unique flavor profile. The ingredients were fresh, and the slice had a nice balance of spice and sweetness.I also tried their Roni Roni pizza, which was a thick-crust, pan-style pepperoni pizza. The pepperoni was cooked to perfection, forming those delicious little cups that are crispy around the edges and bursting with flavor. The crust was thick and chewy, providing a satisfying base for the generous toppings. For dessert, I had the Rainbow Cookie, which was a delightful sponge cake. It was incredibly soft, fluffy, and not overly sweet. The delicate texture and balanced sweetness made it a perfect ending to my meal.One aspect that stood out was the excellent service. As the pizzas were running low, the kitchen from the restaurant brought out fresh slices. The lady who tended to me was very knowledgeable and friendly. Although I didn't catch her name, I want to thank her for her recommendations. Thanks to her suggestions, I tried the Diavola and the Rainbow Cookie, both of which were fantastic.Overall, Lucini's Slice Shop delivers high-quality pizza with great flavors and a convenient location within the casino. The ambiance is casual with a sit-down area where they heat your slices in the oven before serving. While the prices are on the higher side, it's expected given the location on the Strip. The experience was fantastic, and I was genuinely satisfied with all three items I tried. The Diavola was especially outstanding--so much so that I wished I had ordered a whole pizza! If you're exploring the MGM Casino and craving a quick, flavorful bite, Lucini's Slice Shop is definitely worth a visit. The combination of great food, intriguing ambiance, and excellent service makes it a standout spot. Who knows, you might even uncover the secret speakeasy!This slice shop definitely earns a solid four stars for its tasty offerings, quick service, and satisfying flavors. read more

I did not expect to like this restaurant as much as I did! First off the service is so so cool and kind! The place just opened last week but they ran so smoothly I would have thought they have been opened for longer. With recommendations from our server we chose to get mortadella pizza and it is not what I expected. It was a thin crust pizza yet it was still so moist and flavorful! Usually pizza that thin is dry but we did not experience that here. Our choice of pasta was burrata ravioli and the sauce was so good we ate it with the pizza! I will say that the portions of the pasta is not enough to get full on by it self but paired up with the pizza did the job! The environment is very intimate and classy, a place to dress up and feel elegant! read more

Food was mediocre, prices so expensive, excessively large portions. Service marginal. Would not return.

We had a group of 10 people. We can of felt taken advantage of by our waiter. He asked if we wanted some bread and like any other restaurant offering bread we would say yes. But this was to different breads that cost $35. Then half are group got chicken parmigiana and he asked about pasta and of course you get pasta with chicken parmigiana. Not here. It was an extra $15 dollars for pasta. Which made it $50 for chicken parmigiana with pasta. Total rip off. The only reason for 3 stars is because the food was good not great. read more

Waited 20 minutes before being acknowledged. Ordered a salad which took another 30 minutes. Ordered a ravioli pasta with 5 raviolis for $35. Sat for 1 hour and 30 minutes all for a salad and pasta. Horrible service. Don't waste your time. read more

Not what I expected from a so-called "high-end" restaurant. The prices are premium, but the taste doesn't match. We waited nearly an hour for food, only to be served portions far too small for what we paid. Honestly, you're better off going to Don Vito's. read more

The BEST!! Went here for the first time for my birthday dinner and had such an amazing experience. The food was authentic and delicious, drinks were amazing, ambiance was beautiful. But the SERVICE. I have never experienced service like this. Not only was our sever, Sean, super kind and attentive, but the rest of the wait staff was on it as well. My water never went below half full before being refilled. My plate didn't in-front of me empty for more than a minute. I even dropped my napkin and as my boyfriend went to reach down to grab it a new napkin was placed in front of me and the old one was taken. There are a lot of expensive, "fine dining" places in Vegas that don't prioritize service. This isn't one of those. This is the place where yes, you'll spend some money, but you leave with the best experience. 1000/10. Couldn't recommend it enough. Will definitely be back!!! Also, their little pizza shop right next to the restaurant has the best pizza I've ever had. My boyfriend and I stopped there 3 TIMES in two days because we couldn't get enough. read more

This place was absolutely incredible, from the lovely staff to the incredible food. I'm in town filming and thought I'd grab a bar side seat to read a script, and enjoy some food, but I gotta say, this place is way more enjoyable with at least two people. I absolutely looked insane with these obscenely delish and rather large yellow tail crudos. They are gigantic, and bursting with incredible flavor! That sauce they were in I could practically drink it was so wonderful. Then came the short rib lasagna rolls which were the size of my head. The short rib was tender, the béchamel creamy, the fresh basil and bright marinara really make this dish drool worthy good. And being solo with a hotel room with no fridge, I had an exciting night finishing these delights alone, but it was so worth it. The restaurant itself is classy with excellent staff and great music. Although I don't recommend eating here alone unless you have an insane appetite. Or if you have no qualms for sitting alone at a bar shoveling down these incredible dishes, I do recommend brining a date or even taking it back to your room and having shameless shovel fest, because wow, I can not wait to come back here! Oh and real quick edit, I went for their rainbow cake, at the slice stop next door. I think the clerk thought I'd be mid west as all get out, and said I may not like it but girrrllll this cake is BOMB! It tastes like marzipan fluffy cake and has almost like a nestle crunch top, it's so delectable, can not wait to have more! read more

Solid little Italian spot. Stopped by the night of the race to have some drinks and dinner and we were not disappointed. They start you off with these little circular breadsticks which were nice and crunchy. We had the Spiedini alla Romana which was like a cheese bread in a lemon caper butter souce which was awesome. We also had the meatballs which had great flavor. For the entree we shared the short rib lasagna pinwheels. Short rib was tender and delicious and the pinwheels as a whole had good flavor. Food overall was good but the drinks and bar staff were the stars. Ashton, Ilian, Robert, and Nikki-Jo recommended and served up a slew of precisely crafted cocktails that were just perfect. Nikki-Jo even went out of his way to find me absinth so that he can make me a sazerac in their speakeasy. Service was top notch and I will def be coming back. read more

BEWARE: Sneaky Upselling at Luchini Italian @ MGM Grand - Avoid Waitress SIMONA S. I normally don't write reviews, but I feel obligated to warn others about what happened to us at Luchini Italian inside the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. My husband and I stopped in for a casual dinner and ended up feeling completely ripped off -- all thanks to a very sneaky waitress named Simona S. We were casually asked if we'd like something to drink -- no wine list offered, no mention of prices. Like we always do, we asked for a glass of house wine, assuming it would be reasonable, as it is at every other place we've been to in Vegas (typically no more than $18). Instead, we were served wine that cost $29 per glass -- without ever being told. That's $58 for two glasses of mediocre wine that didn't taste like anything special at all. In fact, it tasted worse than wines I've had for half the price. When the bill came, I was shocked. I asked Simona about the charge, and she actually had to pause and think before saying, "Oh yes, that wine is $29 a glass." No apology. No explanation. Just a casual response -- as if she knew exactly what she was doing. That moment confirmed it: this wasn't a mistake. It was intentional. And now it makes perfect sense why she kept coming back to our table pushing us to order another glass. She was clearly trying to rack up the bill and her tip. Honestly, if I could have taken back the tip I left her, I would have. The whole experience felt deceptive and manipulative. If you do go (which I don't recommend), insist on seeing the wine menu first. Don't assume you're being served something reasonably priced -- at Luchini, or at least with Simona S. as your server, you won't be. You'll get upcharged without warning, and by the time you find out, it's too late. This kind of sneaky upselling left a bad taste in our mouths -- worse than the wine. I will never return. read more
