I would definitely recommend this place for Italian dining on a budget. It's as Italian as Olive Garden without the endless bread sticks and pasta so most people will accept it. I enjoyed the food and the servers did well. I was confused with their look; white shirts, ties and black waist aprons... but blue jeans and street shoes? Kinda blows the illusion of finer dining the white cloth tabletops and swanky bar gives, just as the open wall to casino floor spoils too. But they control the flow of customers so there is a wait which keeps down the noise and crowding so you can be more comfy and intimate. That's MUCH better than Olive Garden. If you avoid buffets, want to relax and not worry about having a bad experience while you are in the casino, Pasta Cucina is my pick unless I REALLY want Mexican... then it's Cabo.
