My review is on food for the price. I've dined at several of the best restaurants in Vegas and left more satisfied in my stomach and my wallet. Skip Giada's and go to Picasso.
First off, the atmosphere is loud. Giada's located on the strip and there's loud music pumping in the restaurant as well as Las Vegas strip traffic coming from the outside. The decor is contemporary.
We ordered the lobster arancini, charred octopus, arugula salad, chicken Marsala metballs, tortellini, and branzino.
The complimentary bread was a miss. The olive oil bread was super oily and the breadsticks tasted stale. The charred octopus is a miss. It tasted like bad seafood from Chinatown. The flavor was definitely off. The lobster arancini was disappointing and I couldn't taste any lobster. The chicken Marsala meatballs were try.
The tortellini had a good flavor profile but was super dry. The only hits were the arugula salad and the branzino.
For dessert, we ordered lemon bundt cake. I've never had such a dry mealy cake.
The service was definitely great, but I won't be back because it wasn't worth the price. Perhaps those we rated Giada's higher had a better experience.
