This is not in any way authentic Italian. It's a chain, comparable to Olive Garden. You know the food is in no way fresh when you are in and out of a restaurant in 30 minutes, like we were. We were staying in New York New York and hungry for Italian food, so decided to give it a try (despite some poor yelp reviews - should have listened)! Our waiter was very nice. However when we sat down, we were given a basket of completely stale bread. Couldn't even bite into some pieces. We ordered a $13 meatball appetizer. I could not believe when it came out! Three of the smallest "meatballs" I had ever seen, covered in what looked like cheddar cheese - really? The meatballs themselves were tough, chewy and just horrible. The sauce they were in was so oily. I almost got up and left after that. But then a few minutes later our meals came out. Pasta was chewy and unevenly cooked. The sauce it was in was awful. If you are looking for real Italian food do not go here. Of course, I'm used to the New Haven, CT italian, but am generally not picky when it comes to food and rarely leave poor reviews. This was just awful though. Still looking for real Italian in Vegas.
