    Light fluffy bread $12
    Katie N.

    I came to Luchini for dinner with a friend while staying at the MGM, and we had a great experience. The restaurant has a beautiful interior with dim lighting that created a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the service was excellent from beginning to end. If you're dining here, I highly recommend the Nonna's Summer Menu. For $45, you get an appetizer, side, and entrée, and you can add dessert for just $10 more. It was an amazing value, especially for the quality of the food. The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the shrimp vodka pasta was very rich and was very creamy but didn't have alot of flavor. They don't serve bread like most Italian restaurants. We ordered bread for $12, and it was huge, light and fluffy. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, warm service, delicious food, I'd definitely recommend the summer special.

    Branzino
    Lu T.

    One of the better restaurants in the MGM Grand. If you want good Italian food and good service, this is the place to go. We got the prefix menu which is a fantastic value. I got the branzino which was cooked perfectly, crispy skin and moist meat. The sides were good too. For starters we got the charcuterie board which was okay with a variety of items. Overall very pleased and recommend.

    Free cookie with 2 slice purchase
    Brianna L.

    This is for the 2 go area. We didnt dine in the restaurant. Pizza was amazing! A great slice when the hunger pains hit. We saw a sign before arriving that said by two slices and get a free dessert. We asked the cashier who helped us out. The dessert was the cookie which was actually really good. We also loved the fact they give you hot honey to drizzle on your pizza. The to go area was clean while the sitting area was not. But it looked like there was just 1 person handling it all and when there is a consisted line, I cant blame him for a dirty bar counter. We both agreed that if we were in the area and wanted a quick bite we'd stop by again. Honestly, why would you go to pieology?

    Chicken parmigiana
    Sierra S.

    Wanted to find somewhere good for dinner but not super crazy price wise. Don't get me wrong, still Vegas prices here but our food was so good!!! I really enjoyed my lamb bolognese and my husbands chicken parm was great. (Only downside, can't substitute the noodle that comes w the chicken parm) it was crispy and they served the warm cheese table side! Our server was great and knowledgeable. He even brought us out a free dessert for our anniversary which was an amazing touch to end our night! Thanks Luchini! :)

    Bolognese pun wheels, Calabrian shrimp pasta
    Jess M.

    DELICIOUS! Omg! tried the layered cheese bread, was insane! Cheesy, full of flavor and just delicious. Would get every time. We also tried the Bolognese pinwheels which were phenomenal and full of flavor and the Calabrian shrimp pasta. I can't remember what kind of pasta these were but it was so good and cooked just right. The shrimp also was very good in this pasta and usually I don't like shrimp in my pasta it's just a texture but this dish was very good. The Calabrian sauce was actually very good a little spicy, but not over spicy.

    Food: 3.5 / 5 The food was a bit of a mixed bag, featuring a few gems alongside some notable disappointments. The biggest letdowns were the octopus, which tasted overly fishy, and the ribeye, which came out overcooked. On the positive side, the lasagna was solid, the burrata was standard, and the shrimp scampi was decent. The two absolute best dishes of the night were the meatballs and the Caesar salad, and the lobster tail add-on was quite good as well. Service: 3 / 5 (and that is being generous) Unfortunately, the service fell short. Our server was clearly overwhelmed and came across as very abrupt. Whenever I tried to ask a question or let him know we were ready to order, he seemed rushed, repeatedly cutting me off to say he would return when he had time. There was no real introduction to what they specialize in or what's unique on their menu and menu tour honestly. At one point, our Caesar salad was delivered, but we were left without plates or silverware. We literally sat there staring at our food for five minutes before we could actually eat it. While the server was nice enough when bringing out a great birthday dessert for my daughter, a pleasant attitude can't overlook so many missed basic steps of service. It obviously wasn't a fine-dining establishment, but the chaotic pacing gave it a very cafeteria-like atmosphere.

    Chicken Parmesan
    John J.

    We originally went to a restaurant across from Luchini, but they only served drinks, so Italian became our next choice. We arrived at Luchini just before closing and ordered the focaccia bread -- an absolute must. It was incredibly delicious. My son and I both ordered the Chicken Parmesan, and as serious Chicken Parmesan connoisseurs, we were impressed. The chicken was served first, then topped tableside with melted cheese and sauce. It was amazing -- easily the best Chicken Parmesan I've ever had. The service was outstanding, the soft background music created a relaxing atmosphere, and the setting itself was beautiful. Overall, this restaurant was extremely impressive.

    Short rib lasagna
    Lami M.

    OMG the best Italian dish I've ever tasted!!! 2 can actually share this dish. It's so delicious and savory. The potatoes in the background were also amazing. Those are not your average potatoes. The sauce they are cooked in, taste more like an Asian cuisine but Italian. Both dishes are a 10 out of 10. I will definitely return every time I visit Vegas from here on out, not only because of the food but the service was also friendly and professional. Our server was very nice and bubbly, she definitely made our experience worthwhile.

    Chicken Parmigiana
    Dan S.

    We dined at Luchini last night after seeing KA. We were close to their last seating, so the restaurant was pretty empty. Matthew was our waiter--he greeted us promptly, asked if we'd dined there before (we hadn't), and gave us time to review the menu before taking our order. To start, we had the focaccia bread and the fritto misto. The bread was amazing--crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. The fritto misto was a generous portion for four people, and we couldn't finish it. For entrées: I had the chicken parmigiana, my mother-in-law ordered the chicken marsala, my husband had the burrata ravioli, and my cousin got the salmon alla puttanesca. The burrata ravioli was very good, but definitely on the smaller side--order a side if you're hungry. The salmon was average and felt like something you could get at a chain restaurant. The chicken parmigiana was the highlight of the meal--tender enough to cut with a fork, with plenty of sauce and cheese. The spaghetti on the side was just okay. Unfortunately, the chicken marsala was very disappointing. The chicken was thick when it should have been pounded thin, greasy, overcooked, and tough--you needed a steak knife to cut it. We let our waiter know, and to their credit, they removed it from the bill. The atmosphere was nice, but the music didn't match the vibe. We expected classic Italian crooners like Sinatra or Tony Bennett, but most of the night featured modern music. Oddly, the more fitting music played at the very end of our meal. Overall, I'd give Luchini 3 solid stars--some standout dishes, but a few misses that keep it from being a top-tier Italian spot.

    Lobster Risotto
    Maitrayee D.

    We came in about 7:00 pm first day in MGM. I like the ambiance . Nicely decorated friendly staff . We first ordered the charcuterie platter . They had generous portion of cheese three sweet buns prosciutto salami . Enjoyed the platter .I ordered lobster with risotto. Not much lobster in your plate for the price they charge . Plus my lobster was very salty .I liked my risotto. My husband ordered Branzini .He liked his dish. I wish they served it with fresh vegetables rather than tomatoes .I tasted it didn't find it very tasty .

    Torta Al Cioccolato
    Lindsey D.

    We at at the bar area and the bar tenders were very friendly and made good recommendations. The place overall was very modern in design, and with the televisions it had a pleasant and laid back vibe to it. They have gluten free substitutions for a lot of things. The main reason I'm giving 4 stars is because I had to sub pasta for the gluten free option which is only penne and it's extremely basic noodles. We didn't have the ability to try their noodles which are apparently handmade and fresh. The chicken Parmesan was great (not gluten free) and a huge portion. The bolognese sauce was very good so I'm sure it's even better on fresh pasta. The fried calamari and shrimp were very good as well and the sauce they come with has a slight kick. The cake was awesome and huge! Overall very good and would definitely come back. Be prepared to come home with leftovers. Review from November 2025

    Amalfitano (and Gooseneck IPA)
    Erin J.

    Food was great. Specifically we enjoyed the bolognese and chicken parm. Also the Amalfitano was a top 5 cocktail. Server was a little overwhelmed with too many tables. We would definitely go back. Only real disappointment was there was no plate of bread. All good Italian restaurants give bread plates so you can sop up the extra sauce. Would have been nice.

    Chicken parmigiana
    Ed D.

    Went here for Thursday night dinner about 30 mins before they closed. Our waitress Jessica was really nice and attentive. We just ordered the chicken parmigiana and the rigatoni and the food came out quick within 10 mins. The chicken parmigiana was a very healthy portion and came with spaghetti and was made perfectly, not too much breading, good amount of melted cheese and the sauce was tasty. My friends rigatoni was also on par with a fairly healthy tasty meal. We sat at one of the high tables right near the edge so we were able to people watch which always interesting in Vegas.

    Ask what the drinks cost before you order them or you'll be paying $27 for a house red wine or $20 for a White Russian . Not cool.

    Ask the Community - Luchini Italian Restaurant

    Is there cigarette smoking allowed inside the establishment?

    No, technically in the avenue where the majority of the restaurants are there is no smoking allowed but people are rude and inconsiderate and smoke anyway. But in the restaurants especially there is no smoking allowed.

    Are shorts allowef?

    I wore dress shorts and was allowed in, I don't know about more casual shorts

This visit, though, was my first time experiencing dinner--and now I'm wondering why I waited so long. The atmosphere completely transforms in the evening. Candlelit tables, upbeat music, and an energetic yet intimate vibe make it the perfect place to catch up with friends or kick off a night at the Wynn. La Cave truly shines with its shareable small plates. We paired everything with a few glasses of bubbles and sampled the short rib tacos, beef crostini, and loaded fingerling potatoes. Every dish was packed with flavor, and each bite was even better than the last. Whether you're stopping by for their fantastic brunch or giving dinner a try, La Cave continues to prove it's one of the Wynn's standout dining experiences.

I honestly thought it wouldn't be enough but they were consistent about bringing out item after item. The place itself is beautiful on the inside and the drinks were good. If I wasn't driving I would've gotten the bottomless brunch option. The only issue for me (which wasn't really an issue) is that we had a reservation but we still had to wait about an hour to get sat down. Also, since it's in a hotel, the only bathroom was outside of the restaurant so we kept having to get out and walk out to use the restroom. Not a huge deal but just worth mentioning.

It's definitely a cool laid back vibe and for two people who don't even drink it was still an enjoyable visit. We decided two split 4 items from the Happy Hour menu (worth the discounts by the way). Again neither of us drink but they kept our water glasses full without issue. We ordered the arancini, lobster tacos, bruschetta (salmon, caprese, and prosciutto, and then the dragon shrimp tempura. It took about 15 minutes for the arancini to come out, 4 more minutes for the bruschetta, another minute for the lobster tacos, and about 5 more minutes for the dragon shrimp tempura. We decided to wait until we had all of it for pics and for splitting. The arancini was flavorful and dipping it in the sauce was chef's kiss. The lobster tacos were flavorful; I can see why my friend craved them and why she said she could eat 6. The bruschetta were of okay size. Our favorite was the salmon, then the caprese. The prosciutto was fine, just nothing special. The dragon shrimp tempura was also flavorful although I wish the crispy rice bottom was just a crisped rice patty and not tempura style. All in all it was an enjoyable experience. Servers were friendly and kept us hydrated. Overall, not a bad price point for the amount of quality food.
