Best Italian Restaurants in MGM Grand Hotel & Casino

Great experience! We were seated overlooking Flamingo and the Strip where we caught some of the Bellagio water show during our meal. We ordered a red Sangria and Giada-Rita to start things off (and ordered another Sangria before we were done). We shared the Meatball/Orzo appetizer which was very tasty, and then two pasta dishes (a lemon/zucchini with shrimp, and a cannelloni with short ribs) - both were excellent! We enjoyed our time at Giada and will return in future.

We had a great night celebrating my birthday and anniversary at Il Fornaio! The food recommended by the serve, Linguini and seafood grill were so delicious! We were given free dessert due to the celebrations we were having! The price is very affordable! I highly recommend Il Fornaio! ❤️

A coworker and I have come to Las Vegas for an annual conference, and this restaurant has become our special place that we go when the conference is over to celebrate all of our learning and further involvement with the organization. The menu is outstanding! We were craving the muscles, which we had on our last visit, but they had been replaced with a tuna tartare, that is absolutely out of this world! I could eat this stuff every day and twice a day on Sundays. Very delicious. Our pasta courses were the gnocchi and the pumpkin caramelle. The gnocchi was absolutely outstanding, probably the very lightest gnocchi I have ever eaten in my life! The caramel was OK, the pumpkin flavor is lovely and the accent with Sage is very smart, but this was a little too Thanksgiving issue for me. Very delicious, but Wish we would have selected something different. Our main course was the whole Branzino that we had with the red pepper and chili pesto. Our waiter, Christopher also brought us a side of the lemon and capers sauce, and both were fantastic. While we were told that eating, the whole fish rather than having them, filleted was the ideal best way to go, my colleague, and I were relieved that our amazing waiter offered to serve the fish for us, which was super helpful given that I am totally afraid of swallowing a tiny fish bone. I did not think I’d be able to handle dessert, but my coworker wanted to try the Crosta, and it was a fantastic idea. It’s a lightish kind of apple tart that came with a cinnamon flavored crème fraîche which absolutely was the highlight of the dish. This restaurant will go down in history for me as one of my favorite places to die in Las Vegas, and if you are taking a trip there, whether you are anywhere near to Caesar’s Palace or not, if you like Italian food and especially Italian seafood, you need to check out this place! 

The food was fantastic, we had the short rib lasagna and the salmon. The tiramisu was delicious as well. Service was definitely lacking for a pretty quiet night unfortunately. Thankfully, the food makes up for it.

Good value for Vegas these days, excellent service and the food quality very good.
