  • I had REALLY high hopes for Giada but it just doesn't compare to other celebrity chef and top calibre dining options. The restaurant itself is picture perfect inside the stylish new Cromwell. The dining room is washed in white and curves out towards Las Vegas Boulevard with windows that open up so you can watch the Bellagio fountains - if you're seated in the right direction. We went on my birthday which was a Tuesday and I was SO excited. As we ascended the escalator we were greeted by the hostess who quickly dampened my excitement. We had reservations but still had to wait about 15 minutes at the bar which was probably good because the bartenders were actually the friendliest people in the entire restaurant. Almost as soon as we sat down in this gorgeous, not cheap, restaurant, our extraordinarily unfriendly server tried to upsell us on some tacky package that came with an autographed picture of Giada. I've eaten at a number of "celebrity chef" restaurants and have never experienced a similar upsell. It felt very tacky and kind of ruined the vibe of the nice restaurant. This isn't Disneyland, this is a fine dining restaurant! In addition to cocktails, we started with the Charred Octopus and it was delicious. It wasn't too scrawny and was very flavorful - I would highly recommend it. For my main entree I got the Risotto. The risotto came with two scallops and had two asparagus spears woven through it. The dish itself was delicious but at $35, a bit pricey for the portion. We also had some unmemorable sides. I do remember the bread basket being pretty top notch, though. Our waiter was rarely seen and when he was, he wasn't particularly pleasant. As I mentioned before, it was my birthday and while I'm not a huge birthday person and definitely hate people singing to me in public, I found it very odd that no one even so much as mentioned it when we'd indicated that it was a birthday celebration in our reservation. In my experience most fine dining restaurants would at least say something... I don't know, maybe it was an off night but I doubt we will be back anytime soon.
