Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Sun Coast Hotel & Casino

We decided to go and planning to try the Thanksgiving special that they had listed. We sat down and saw the table next to us had ordered the special. It did not look very appetizing. So we decided to go with their regular menu. I had the Casio e Pepe with a side of the Sal's Meatballs. My wife had the Butternut Squash Caramelle. I have to say they were both excellent!!!! For dessert I had Banana Cream Pie and my wife had the Tiramisu. The service was excellent both our waitress and the young man who cleared plates and filled water.

We had a fantastic non-traditional Thanksgiving meal at Carmine’s, and we loved it! From the food, to the service, to the extra attention we received from Jessica, our server, the runners, and the manager, “T”, we absolutely loved it. We had the mixed salad (enough for 8, seriously), Eggplant Parmesan (our favorite thing!), a side of meatballs, and rotini with Giardiniera sauce. For dessert, we shared the Chocolate Bread Pudding with a side of vanilla ice cream. Oh…my…gosh. This was phenomenal! Jessica was attentive without being overbearing, our water was kept full (always appreciated), dishes were cleared quickly, the noise level was good, the holiday decorations were beautiful, and we even got to meet the GM. What a great experience!

Simply lovely experience from beginning to end. I ordered the four course Anniversary menu plus the wine pairing and every bite was outstanding. The crab arrancini was delicious, but the crab wasn't pronounced. The lemon spaghetti was divine. This has been one of Giada's signature dishes and it shows. Bronzino was also exceptional with the roasted fennel and tomato's playing nicely with a perfectly cooked fish. Tiramisu was equally great! The service was impeccable from beginning to end. With great attention to detail, appropriate suggestions, and a good sense of humor. Watch out for the pepper grinder! It is a weapon. Value and atmosphere also quite good for what you expect in Vegas. The location is amazing -- it can be a little loud with the honking of street traffic (exacerbated by Formula One tear down).

La Strega is the best Italian restaurant in Las Vegas. The rigatone bolognese we had during our most recent visit was as good as ever, and the two new menu dishes we ordered - - troffie alla vodka sauce and chicken cacciatore - - were phenomenal. We can't wait to return.

Great service! Grilled chicken that I added to my pasta was the best ever. Best garlic knots too. Meatballs were outstanding.
