Gaetano's was OK. The food was pretty good. The bread was amazing. There were too many things we did not like, though, and we will not return.
1. We had a groupon for $40 and even with it, the bill was $70-something for 2 people. It was definitely overpriced and not at all worth it. We used to go to Carluccio's before it closed and would have the same quality meal for $50.
2. The server was weird. While he was taking our order he kept looking up and toward the front doors to see who was coming in...really? Are we not special enough? Is it too much to ask to pay attention to your customers as they are ordering??
3. There were like 30 specials and the menu already had 100 items on it. It wasn't really 30 specials, but it was too many.
4. All over the menu there are things printed like, "split salad charge" and "split meal charge" and "substitution charge." Ok, we get it, you like to nickel and dime your customers...very tacky, especially when you are charging those astronomical prices.
Sadly, another italian joint off our list. We have yet to find the perfect one in Vegas.
