| - Food varies. My dish, the carbonara, was awesome! Real authentic and even came with the raw egg (Something that most places won't do). My husband ordered the Chicken Marsala. The sauce was amazing, probably due to using a good wine, but I found that the chicken was a bit dry and tough. The Caesar salad was a very large portion and excellent. It was a little heavy on the EVOO but that seemed to be a trend here. Granted it is a very good quality oil, so I did not mind.
The service was real great as well! Table was kept clean, staff was very knowledgeable of their menu, and the remaining staff kept busy and even though it looked a little slow they were working (setting tables, etc).
The decor and location are why I gave it 4 stars. If this restaurant moved to an on-strip location like the Bellagio, Cosmo, or Venetian/Palazzo I think they would do much better. The Rio just does not do them justice. The view of the pool is not so great and the tables and chairs are a bit outdated and show some wear and tear.
Overall, I would come back for a birthday dinner or special ocassion!
We went to see the MJ Live show after and it was very entertaining. Recomendation: Dinner and a Show!
