First off I have to start by laughing at some of these reviews. People complain about prices. Do you not understand you are on the strip? If you don't want to spend that money then don't go. And if you are complaing then your probably trying to get something free out of it. Like one person who complained then continued to say they didn't even offer us a free dessert. Really? Shocking. I go out to eat all the time and never once did I go on yelp and blast a restaurant like some of these people do. If you don't like it who cares. Don't go back. Do you really think I'm going to listen to you guys? I will make my own decisions. With that said I have been to Giada. About 4 times already. Why? Cause I know good food. Because I don't listen to other people. The mushroom pizza, the shrimp pizza are amazing. Great flavor combos and the pizza dough is light and crispy. Coming from the east coast you can't get good pizza out here. This by far is the best. The antipasto is like none other in Vegas. It's a,meal in itself. Have that at the bar with a drink and your set. I basically tried all the pastas. And yes again it was great. Service is always spot on and so are the bartenders. Now if you don't mind spending money, because you are eating ON THE STRIP, and you have an understanding about food this is the place. For her first restaurant, it's a great start.
