Had remembered that it was enjoyable and the food had been good.\nWent back this time with the family, for Valentines Day.\nVenue is still attractive - especially the perimeter seating - intimate and done just right.\nBig let down was the food and the service.\nThe staff seemed to rush the whole service. Insisted on taking the order right away. Whole meal service for 8 lasted about 35 mintues. Felt like we were being hustled out.\nAnyway, now to the food ...\nBread seemed stale. They delivered piles of garlic relish - presumably to disguise the stale bread.\nI ordered the Chicken Parmigiana - same thing I ordered the first time.\nIt was horrible. Looked like it had been heavily breaded days before, cooked at the same time and then frozen. The pieces were almost a perfect circle - odd for chicken - would have confused it for chicken rondolets! They heaped tomato sauce on the two pieces, sprinkled a tiny bit of mozzarella cheese on top and then obviously microwaved it.\nWhen done right the chicken is cooked first - properly I might add then added to sauce and cheese and baked. Not the case here.\nThey have one side - penne pasta. It is hard to ruin pasta - Don Vitos managed to do it this time. I am a fan of al dente pasta - only when it is fresh and warm. The pasta that I got was in a bowl, barely luke warm, edges of the pasta were dry and hard and a single blob of almost warm marinara sauce in the middle. All in all, the meal was a disaster - everybodey else at the table had issues with their meal as well.\nA shame really. Perhaps reviews like mine will serve to inspire them to get back to the cooking I remembered them for.\nI do not see myself going back anytime soon.\nWould recommend a fantastic Italian restaurant down the street that we ate at a couple of nights before, Bootlegger. Awesome food, nice ambiance. best bet for great italian if you are down at that end of Las Vegas Boulevard."^^ . "1"^^ . . "0"^^ .
