I wasn't impressed by the food, but my friend left a happy camper because this is one of her favorite restaurants in Vegas! Giada is very easy to locate as there are multiple signs pointing you into the right direction throughout the Cromwell. Bummer that the photo booth was not working this time around. It is located in the lounge/waiting area. You will not miss it because it says "Photobooth" in large print against the wall. So make sure you reserve some time to take pics before or after your meal to capture the memories.
The space in the restaurant was plentiful and open. High ceilings and tall windows adorned the restaurant. Giada is located on the corner of Las Vegas Blvd so you can get a great panoramic view of the strip. Everything was very clean and fancy; I didn't expect anything less from a $$$ restaurant.
We ordered the Dolce Vita and freshly squeezed orange and carrot juice as our beverages. The Dolce Vita was sweet and flavorful. I opted for the orange and carrot juice which wasn't as flavorful or sweet, but was an excellent healthy alternative.
My friend ordered the lemon pesto grilled cheese with a side of zucchini fries. The grilled cheese is one of their most highly requested dishes, but it wasn't memorable for me. The pesto cheese oozed out of the panini so if you're a huge fan of grilled cheese sandwiches, you should give this one a try.
I ordered the giada burger with a side of cacciatore chips. The chips were flavorful and crunchy. The giada burger was very tasty but I wouldn't say it was worth the price. I felt like I could've gotten the same burger elsewhere for a fraction of the price.
I probably won't come here again for brunch, but would definitely give it another try for dinner.
