I was researching (on yelp of course) places to host my birthday dinner and I came across Gina's Bistro. I checked out the website, the menu and the bio of the owner. I was excited to try an authentic Italian restaurant off the strip.
We ate early because we had plans for the evening, there were 17 of us total, so a bit of a large party. The outside of the restaurant does not do the inside justice. It is definitely a hole in the wall with a very welcoming interior.
The waiter/owner was very friendly and prompt with the service. He was able to make suggestions and the food came out relatively quickly considering the party size. I was thoroughly pleased with the fresh pasta, amazing flavors and big portions. The pasta is made in-house and really makes all the difference.
I went to Italy as a teen and felt like this restaurant did a great job to mirror the homey feel of eateries in Italy.
The only negative about this place is not being able to split checks. I completely understand as it is a small restaurant. But I felt like it was a hassle for the gentleman ringing up the bills and for us as well.
