| - First off, I don't recommend coming here. There's 2 other much better Italian restaurants in Downtown Summerlin. My family had such high hopes because we ate at the Maggianos a while back located in the strip and had a good experience. However this time, it was nowhere near pleasant.
Our waitress didn't even know the menu. She told me that I could not have the Spaghetti and meatball and meat sauce together, but can only order Spaghetti and marinara and the meatball. However the menu said I can choose either sauce. When we showed her, she seemed flustered. I was quite surprised when she told me that because spaghetti and meatball must have been a popular dish on their menu. Throughout our lunch, she was in a rush. While we were still eating she would keep asking us if we were done eating and take our plate.
For food, we ordered the lobster carbonara and spaghetti and meatballs with meat sauce, both of which were below average. They came out cold and dry. The lobster looked and tasted dry as if it was defrosted. It would be better if it were more fresh, juicy, evenly cut, and were bigger. The lobster and noodles weren't coated in sauce either because it sat for so long. The noodles were okay but wasn't amazing as they made it out to be because it was "made from scratch". The meat sauce of the spaghetti with meatballs was VERY soupy, sweet, and unseasoned. Another result of sitting out for so long is the soupiness of the sauce. The meatball wasn't as juicy or tender as the one from Trattoria Reggiano. I honestly think anyone could make better pasta at home.
After this upsetting experience, they made a mistake when charging us for the Spaghetti and Meatballs. It took another 10- 15 minutes for the manager to come and fix it, and she didn't even bother to ask if we wanted to change the tip.
If you try Trattoria Reggiano and Maggianos, you will see what I mean in this review. There is something significantly missing here. If they want to survive amongst the 2 other Italian restaurants, they're going to have to improve their service and food.
