| - Italian food is my favorite kind of food, so needless to say, I've got to a ton of restaurants over the years. But through it all, in the Vegas Valley, none of them top Tuscany Grill. I've been going here for years, and I'll likely never stop going if they keep it up like this.
The food here is top notch. The chefs make the finest Italian cuisine available in the valley. I don't think I've honestly had a dish here I didn't enjoy. The staff/chefs/etc. also don't seem to have a problem taking simple requests (for instance, they have tortellini pasta in a spicy pascara sauce, but they had no problem whipping up a batch for me with alfredo sauce instead.)
The atmosphere is as solid as the food. It has the appearance of a high-class restaurant, but is still welcoming for guests of all ages and walks of life. All of the servers/chefs/etc. are great people and treat you well. Even if straight-up dining isn't what you're looking for, the restaurant does have a bar section with numerous sporting events on the television sets.
I notice on some other review sites, the restaurant has come under fire for what are supposedly "high prices." This is a nice restaurant, not a loud, raucous atmosphere where you come with friends for cheap food. You will pay a pretty penny, but I assure that
A) The food you have here will be some of the best Italian food you have ever eaten, and
B) There are other far more expensive Italian restaurants around town, and their items aren't nearly this good.
You get what you pay for. Period. And perhaps nowhere is that better reflected here.
If I have one complaint about the restaurant, it is the somewhat inconsistent, hit-and-miss soup selection. Every night the restaurant has its pasta fagioli and a "soup of the day." The fagioli isn't terrible, but is nothing worth writing home about, and I really wish they had chosen something better as the "everyday soup." The soups of the day are sometimes excellent, but other times are not the sort of thing your typical diner will enjoy. I really wish the restaurant had a set schedule for what soup would be had on what night.
All in all though, the good by far outweighs the bad. This is a restaurant that deserve the full 5 stars - and this reviewer's highest recommendation.
