I wanted to stay away from the celebrity chef scene for a Monday night meal and after talking to some locals we were directed to Battista's Let's be clear here. If you are looking for high end Italian, skip Battista's. But if you would like an real old time Vegas experience at a reasonable (for the strip) price then give it a go. Positives...ambiance...... place is filled with an enormous amount of Vegas / celebrity memorabilia. Just sitting and looking around was an entertainment event all by itself. Service was excellent and the house wine (FREE!!) ((Yes I said FREE!!!)) is surprisingly decent. You get garlic bread (OK) and a choice of soup (minestrone) or salad, We had the soup and it was good.Negatives...... Entrees were...pedantic. I had the veal piccante and my wife had fettuccine with chicken. My veal was a little tough and the portion was small. My wife's chicken was certainly "cooked" and very dead...No juice was saved in the killing of this fowl. :-) Still full meal on the strip for two with unlimited wine for less that $75 including tip has value. The ambiance is really worth the trip as well. I guess my recommendation is if the old Vegas experience is on your bucket list Then please enjoy. If you are looking fro excellent Italian food...ehh maybe move on
