I watch your face to predict if you really like something or if it's just OK. Too much "just ok" for the money. Your parents deserve better! Mahalo for your thorough & honest review.
Wow! I saw some red wines on the menu from Napa Valley that were over $2000. I wonder if anyone gets them. The food looks so good, that bread appetizer looks great. I wish you would have showed your parents. You have a great son!
I'm curious also as to the rate that those big bottles are selling. I imagine it's a lot of convention folk who have company cards to blow big budgets on. My parents weren't really looking to be on camera, but I'm happy to hear that. Thanks D!
Thanks for making these videos! No one else is doing what you do, like you do. I love that you show the receipts. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Keep up the great work!!
Nice grounded review as always. So nice that you mentioned your parents. I’m sure they are very proud of you. Your efforts are always appreciated. Stay hungry!
Yes! The potato dish was very good, and yes, I try and see my parents at least monthly. Our whole family gets along very well. I think next week's video is going to be great! Thanks for watching!
Really appreciate the honest opinion. Didn't look to be quite worth the price. And i worry about italian restaurants that doesnt cook pasta properly. Thanks!
I follow alot of Vegas content creators like norma, danvsworld, rockstar eater, dan the medic, etc, but you are definitely one of my favs. Only thing is, you’re way too nice with these restaurants and their dishes. If it’s trash, call them out, or if they are rip off! Keep up the great work!
I'm a big fan of his also but I do disagree a little bit not to argue with you I thought you made a great comment. I do feel like he's very honest with the food is not good he just does it in a nice way maybe nicer than some of the others which is true but if he doesn't like it he'll say I'm not a fan or it's just okay you can always tell when he really likes something and when he doesn't as opposed to the people that are almost the same every time. I think he does a great job!
Thank you! Happy you enjoy the videos. I'm not sure what to say on being too nice. I'm not too picky of an eater in general, but it's also Las Vegas. I've very rarely had something that I thought truly tasted like trash. It's usually just not as good as it could have been but rarely, if ever, have I found something to actually taste bad. Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin I understand what he was trying to say to a degree. I honestly think your way of giving a "negative" opinion is the best way of doing it. If it doesn't meet your expectations, you say so, but always leave it open for "us" to decide for ourselves. If it's not a great value, you say it's a little rich for the price point in your opinion. And on the rare occassion when it totally misses the mark, you literally say it's a no for you and explain why. What I appreciate is that you do this in a manner while recapping at the end the pluses and minuses which usually always end up being good review. As a former food service employee I appreciate that tact as it doesn't slam the establishment or the staff, if they see the review, it gives them things to improve on without thinking your just after views by going on a power trip tirade. It's a refreshing change of pace in an ever increasing vlog filled world. 👍🏼👍🏼
@@VegaswithShinAs someone who also does food related videos (as well as travel and fun experiences on our channel), I feel like you take a similar approach with something not up to par and I appreciate it. When giving an honest review, it’s always important to be honest and truthful but it’s also never an opportunity to outright slam a place or just be outright mean because it could just be the kitchen staff or service having a bad night or it could be just an “area of improvement” - If something is bad in our videos my husband will usually say it’s “not worth the calories/price/I will not be ordering this again” or “Hey (restaurant), you may need to step it up or work on ____” there’s always a way to be honest but also not mean and we appreciate how honest you are in your videos. Thank you for being a great example to look up to when it comes to honest food reviews and we look forward to your videos every week and hope to one day be able to describe food as great as you can - keep it up Shin ❤
Definitely one of my favorite cuisines though unfortunately, I wouldn't say the best Italian food here at Luchini. Some decent items, but consistency issues need to be addressed for sure. Thanks for watching!
@VegaswithShin "here at Luchini". I like how you respond online the same way you describe you're reviews. Made me laugh. Enjoy you're Sunday ,God Bless . :)
Just found and subscribed to shins channel a week ago, best Vegas food reviewer in the game. He not only orders multiple dishes he gives us that long form video review honestly no bs involved. I love this guy I gotta steal that quote to say at dinner soon “every restaurant is a buffet if you’re willing to pay” that’s gold I hope you sell shirts one day with that slogan lol
Not sure how I feel about an Italian restaurant can mess up some of their items. Food still looks good but probably not my first choice. Can't wait to check out the new Durango resorts when they open. Definitely interested in their food hall and what they have to offer
Yeah, there's definitely better Italian food on the strip for sure. The line up at the Durango food hall looks amazing. I'm really looking forward to bringing you that video! Thanks Jerry!
Your reviews are very honest and we all appreciate that. With that said I would have to skip on this restaurant. There were too many issues and for what you paid the food should be top notch. Ty for the review.😊
Hi Shin’s parents!!!! 🖐🏻 The appetizer that you liked…. looked crazy good. The bread sticks with the sauce were kind of weird as I would have loved to dive into some warm, homemade Italian bread with a good quality olive oil and spices mixed it to dip it in. It’s disappointing that an Italian restaurant messed up the pasta cooking and way too much salt for the other food items. The ambience was nice though. Thanks for the review.
The bread appetizer was seriously good. Luchini is still pretty new and they definitely have some kinks to figure out. I hope they get their consistency up. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, it could have been an off night and they're still relatively new so possibly some kinks to figure out. I still had some very tasty dishes though. I hope your visit is great! Thanks for watching Amy!
Great video and great content all around - I have to be 100% honest that when I saw the word “Tao” mentioned in your video I had some reservations about how good this place actually is… and the video definitely covered and probably made me realize that like other Tao restaurants there may be more visual dazzle and flair they are trying for than actual quality. Great video as always ❤
Happy you enjoyed! I haven't been to too many Tao restaurants but I will eventually so I'll have more of an opinion later on the subject. Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin I have to also be honest that I haven’t been to many Tao restaurants myself when visiting Vegas but as fellow foodies and having foodie friends in our local hometown (Phoenix, AZ), we were warned by said friends that the Tao group is primarily a nightclub group first, restaurant group second, and the long story short is that they try to be “trendy” and “hip” but often either try too hard for the dazzle and flair or just miss the mark. But then again, they are in the business of entertainment and their restaurants really do seem to “wow” on social media. And at the end of the day, people do love that aspect when dining in Vegas but when it comes to “is the food good?” we definitely appreciate your honest opinions on the food and quality as fellow foodies ourselves.
Hey Shin another great video. Definitely seemed a mixed bag here some dishes incredible but too many not so great unfortunately. It happens. I wanted to comment this time because you are the first food reviewer that I started watching right at the beginning. And today for the first time I actually went back through your videos to see how you're doing and I am absolutely thrilled to see the traction you're getting. You so deserve it. It is obvious how much you care and you work so hard to make enjoyable content. Very professional. When I first started watching you were getting two to 3,000 views per video if I remember correctly, now I'm seeing 25,000, 200,00, I mean your numbers are definitely way up and the way you're growing you're really going to make it. I have seen others take years for the growth you've already seen keep it up buddy!!!!!
I appreciate that very much Josh! I'm having a good time making the videos and I'm glad that so many are enjoying them. Plenty more to come! Thanks for watching!
Amazing! The lasagna looked great, but if the most of the rest wasn't too special, then I'll pass. (Although, the bread/rings looked really creative!) Thank you again John!
Never when I'm making RUclips videos. I'm not there really to just eat a meal, but to do work for videos so I always take them as is. Thanks for watching Vickie!
VWS: Would love ❤️ to start seeing your family appear on the channel ( I know they probably do not want to). The lack of cooking execution is the difference between a Chef & a cook. Looks like Luchini needs some help.
I REALLY DON'T LIKE WHEN THE COOK IS HEAVY ON THE SALT, I HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. SHIN THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR HONEST OPINION. I TRULY APPRECIATE THAT. KEEP UP THE MAGNIFICENT JOB. 👍🏼😁
Great review. Personally I don't go out for Italian much, I do love it, just not so much out. It always has that chef boyardee taste to me. If I do get roped into Italian, it's always a white sauce, which I didn't see any here? There was some good looking food here though not a fan of everything struggling to swim in the sauces (I think the Branzino may have drown in that). Glad to see you out with your parents! Did dad give us the "Fuhgeddaboudit" @6:27? If so he is a BOSS! Thank for the content Shin!
Yeah I thought I was ordering a white sauce dish with the spicy penne but it turned out to be a red sauce. Lol, that was not my dad. My parents speak to each other exclusively in Korean. Thanks for watching!
They have a few consistency issues to figure out, then I think they can keep a good run going. We'll see how they fare over the next few years. Thanks for watching!
Interesting menu and choice of ordered items to review. BTW - how did your parents enjoy their food? My Korean parents find these types of dishes to be too rich in flavor and usually my dad is looking at the table for some kimchi or pickled barchan to counter balance the richness.
My parents have become pretty American-ized and enjoy all types of food nowadays. Though with this dinner they did think some of the dishes were a bit much and the meat on the Sunday gravy was extra salty to them. Thanks for watching Dong!
Hi Shin Thanks for the video as always! Dam looks nice but it's a pretty bad that a Italian restaurant can't nail the basic rights. Can I suggest a future video where you go off the beaten track and try like your best hidden mom and pop restaurants?
Glad you enjoyed! You're in luck. I'm making plans to start a new video series in the new year where I start to cover more local restaurants that will be releasing during the week and my Saturday videos will continue to be resorts and tourist centered locations. Best of both worlds coming soon!
Jeepers Shin. Great video. That's some pricey pasta! It's definitely not REAL Italian if they can't cook the noodles right. And the prices. And the prices. And did I mention the prices, tho? 😮😢
Expensive for sure, as is all of Vegas nowadays. It was one off dish among many so I'm wondering if I just had an off night but they should strive to be consistently good. Thanks for watching!
I’m kinda bummed about this one; the only closest thing to high end Italian food I’ve had in the past week I was IN Vegas was Pizza Rock at GVR(I just found out about Settebello)upon leaving the hotel, but based on this video. As for Durango, my mom did get a free room offer from them during their originally scheduled opening back in November(would’ve been cool to kick off my birthday there), but the delay changed everything. I’ll definitely be tuning in. SIDE NOTE: Hope the Fertittas decide to let the Feast Buffet return to the incoming Inspirada Station!
Pizza Rock is my favorite pizza in Vegas so you definitely hit the right spot. I don't know if we'll ever see a Station buffet again but here's to hoping! Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShinfingers crossed that Inspirada brings one back. Then again, I haven’t been back to Sunset, Boulder, or the other Station Casinos my family used to frequent, so if they’re gone there too, who knows.
Thank you for giving me a reason(s) not to go there. If I want to pay strip prices I’ll stick with Batista’s Hole in the Wall or better yet-our favorite local Italian: The Bootlegger.
You know what buddy maybe I was off a little about what you were getting when I first started seems like you took off by the third video you were already getting 2000. So when I first started you were probably getting more than the two to 3,000 but still I think that you have seen steady growth and now you have had some videos really hit it in the 200 range. I hope I'm not wrong and you are seeing the growth because you really deserve it. Anyway I will shut up now and give other people a chance looking forward to the next one
I love your videos and think I prefer without the overlay music. Without it, I feel like I’m at the restaurant with you! Not sure what everyone else thinks 😃
I'll keep it in mind and may lower it in the future or go with all classical. I do have to have something there to drown out the copyrighted music playing in the restaurants. Thanks for watching!
THE ITALIAN FOOD LOOK DELICIOUS TOO MY FRIEND AND I LOVE ITALIAN FOOD TOO MY FRIEND AND DID YOU ENJOY YOUR THANKSGIVING TOO MY FRIEND AND HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO MY FRIEND
Yeah, they've only been open for a week or so by the time I shot this video and they have a few consistency issues they need to work out. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, I'm not sure how they got it to be that salty without noticing. The red sauce on its own wasn't too bad so it was definitely the meats. Thanks for watching!
new to and love your channel so far, BUT ALL THAT HIGH PRICED C R A P IS INSANE, JUST A BUNCHA '''REGULAR SAME TASTING FOOD YOU CAN GET ''''ANYWHERE OFF STRIP''''UP FLAMINGO/TROPICANA/SAHARA/SPRING MOUNTAIN, ETC FOR HALF THE PRICE WITH ''''BIGGER-PORTIONS...TRUST ME I LEARNED FROM VEGAS LOCALS...................................
Yeah, nothing on the Vegas strip is priced fairly. But that's a big point of my videos, I want folks to see it before they get there as opposed to getting shocked in person. Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin thank you for posting! My bf and I love your videos! We always rush to watch when you’ve uploaded. Can’t wait to see your Durango video!
The pizza may not have looked great but it was one of the best tasting things I had that evening. Sunday gravy could definitely use some more gravy agreed. Thanks for watching!
Those “breadsticks “ are meant to expand in your stomach and keep you full, they’re crisp so you have to chew a lot That way when you have the sh&ty pasta you can say at least I am full What a joke of a place !!
Shame, disappointed again for the prices and food they served you 😢😤....would of sent back dishes that wasn't up to your expectations...have a great weekend and week 😘🤗❤
It's definitely better than the buffet from what I recall but I haven't been to the buffet in almost two years. I'd easily go to Luchini over the buffet if given the choice and budget not withstanding. Thanks for watching!
Always enjoyed your videos. Italian food is so one dimensional. Cheese everywhere!!! I don’t usually go to Italian for fine dining on strip. Italian food is so overrated!!
after seeing the menu i had higher expectations. Geez you seemed disappointed with 3/4 of the dishes. I can't believe a dish that salty could pass the head chef. maybe an off night, but for what you spent they should offer you a comped meal for how bad that was.
It could have been an off night. They're also very new so they could have some kinks to work out. Hopefully they up the consistency. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, they're also very new so it could be that they just need more time to get everything consistent. We'll see if they're still around in a few years. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, I was very surprised with how salty the meats in the gravy were. But by then it was already almost 3 hours in and my parents were tired and needed to get home lol. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video! Always a pleasure.
Happy you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
I watch your face to predict if you really like something or if it's just OK. Too much "just ok" for the money. Your parents deserve better! Mahalo for your thorough & honest review.
Haha, my parents deserve the best and they'll eventually come on a really good one. Thanks for watching!

Another stellar review. I appreciate your approach always thoroughly done.
Happy to hear that! Thank you very much!
I appreciate you ordering many items! So there is a more balanced review
I'm happy to do so! Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed Your Video Shin ......You Always Keep It Real !
Happy you enjoyed the video! I just call it like I taste it my friend. Thanks for watching!
As an Italian I'm really impressed by your pronunciation of soppressata.
I really tried with this video! Thank you!
How nice that you got to try out a new restaurant with your parents! I want the short rib lasagne pinwheels 😊
Those pinwheels were very good! And yes, I really enjoy spending time with my parents when I can. Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin I miss my mom and dad so much. But I treasure my memories with them.
this is a great review ,i truly love your honesty , thank you very much
Happy you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!
Happy to see at least the potatoes were good! Cherish every moment with your parents❤ Looking forward to next weeks vid.
Yes! The potato dish was very good, and yes, I try and see my parents at least monthly. Our whole family gets along very well. I think next week's video is going to be great! Thanks for watching!
I really like your content. Keep going I see something big for you.
I appreciate that! I'm happy to hear you're enjoying the videos. I'm really enjoying making them! Thanks for watching!
Really appreciate the honest opinion. Didn't look to be quite worth the price. And i worry about italian restaurants that doesnt cook pasta properly. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed! I think you can definitely get better Italian food on the Vegas strip. Thanks for watching!
That's pretty bad that an Italian restaurant can't cook pasta correctly, especially at those prices.
It was one of the many pasta dishes so it could have just been an off order but agreed, they should be consistent. Thanks for watching!

Haha, I try. Thanks for watching!

Definitely one of my favorite cuisines though unfortunately, I wouldn't say the best Italian food here at Luchini. Some decent items, but consistency issues need to be addressed for sure. Thanks for watching!

How can they not have actual bread at an Italian restaurant??? Nothing to soak up the sauce?? Who wants a pretzel. Good video
While I agree that I would like a nice hearty bread, I did like the bread rings lol. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for another thorough review, Shin. All in all really disappointing for those prices, imo.
Yeah, there's definitely better Italian food on the strip for sure. Thanks for watching!
Shin when are you doing the Golden Steer….looks like an insane steakhouse!
Currently scheduled for Q2 2024! Thanks for watching!

Yeah, my family is pretty camera shy. Maybe some time in the future. Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin lol what happened to you lol. You are not shy at all. Take care.
Shin I appreciate your reviews and will probably try the ones you've recommended as good at Luchini next time I'm at the MGM Grand.
Glad you enjoyed! If you hit up Luchini, the pizza was great as was the steak for sure! Thanks for watching!
Thanks Shin for the honest review. None of the items stood out to me. Hope your parents enjoyed their meal. 👍
Glad you enjoyed Allie! My parents just enjoyed spending time with me so they had a good evening. Thanks for watching!

great review
Thank you!
Jeepers Shin. Great video. That's some pricey pasta! It's definitely not REAL Italian if they can't cook the noodles right. And the prices. And the prices. And did I mention the prices, tho? 😮😢
Expensive for sure, as is all of Vegas nowadays. It was one off dish among many so I'm wondering if I just had an off night but they should strive to be consistently good. Thanks for watching!
I’m kinda bummed about this one; the only closest thing to high end Italian food I’ve had in the past week I was IN Vegas was Pizza Rock at GVR(I just found out about Settebello)upon leaving the hotel, but based on this video.
As for Durango, my mom did get a free room offer from them during their originally scheduled opening back in November(would’ve been cool to kick off my birthday there), but the delay changed everything. I’ll definitely be tuning in.
SIDE NOTE: Hope the Fertittas decide to let the Feast Buffet return to the incoming Inspirada Station!
Pizza Rock is my favorite pizza in Vegas so you definitely hit the right spot. I don't know if we'll ever see a Station buffet again but here's to hoping! Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShinfingers crossed that Inspirada brings one back.
Then again, I haven’t been back to Sunset, Boulder, or the other Station Casinos my family used to frequent, so if they’re gone there too, who knows.
Another great video Shin ! Too bad some of your dishes were a fail ! An Italian restaurant that can’t cook pasta needs to make some changes
Yeah, it could have been an off night. It was one dish among many that evening. I hope they step up the consistency. Thanks for watching!
looks very good
I really liked the pizza and the steak! Thanks for watching Claire!
nice new place
It is a very nice place actually. Loved the interior. Thanks panjo!
the bread is called taralle, pepper biscuits.........yum!!!!
Ah! Learn something new everyday! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for giving me a reason(s) not to go there. If I want to pay strip prices I’ll stick with Batista’s Hole in the Wall or better yet-our favorite local Italian: The Bootlegger.
Love Hole in the Wall
Id go and just order a couple of the items. Some looked really good.
I haven't been to either! I do plan on hitting Hole in the Wall in the next few years but I'll have to look more into Bootlegger. Thanks for watching!
Can you please go to Milos at Venetian!? Love the videos
Milos is on the list but I don't think it's for another year or so. Thanks for watching!
You know what buddy maybe I was off a little about what you were getting when I first started seems like you took off by the third video you were already getting 2000. So when I first started you were probably getting more than the two to 3,000 but still I think that you have seen steady growth and now you have had some videos really hit it in the 200 range. I hope I'm not wrong and you are seeing the growth because you really deserve it. Anyway I will shut up now and give other people a chance looking forward to the next one
Lol, you good Josh. I appreciate it dude!
I love your videos and think I prefer without the overlay music. Without it, I feel like I’m at the restaurant with you! Not sure what everyone else thinks 😃
I'll keep it in mind and may lower it in the future or go with all classical. I do have to have something there to drown out the copyrighted music playing in the restaurants. Thanks for watching!
5:30 Cherrystone Clam
Aha! Got it, thank you!
I may have an uneducated palate for Italian cuisine but give me a nice meal at Maggiano’s and I’m happy!
I like Maggiano's, and I've enjoyed my meals at Olive Garden too. Nothing wrong with them in my mind. Thanks for watching!
Tyvm and yqw Shin 🤗❤
😊
Yummmy, id get the short rib lasagna dish
Yes! The short rib lasagna pinwheels were good! Thanks for watching!
To the bone review. Go Shinster.
Thanks mafatone!
THE ITALIAN FOOD LOOK DELICIOUS TOO MY FRIEND AND I LOVE ITALIAN FOOD TOO MY FRIEND AND DID YOU ENJOY YOUR THANKSGIVING TOO MY FRIEND AND HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO MY FRIEND
Thank you my friend!
@@VegaswithShin YOU ARE VERY WELCOME TOO MY FRIEND
Maybe I’ll wait until they are open for awhile and get it together lol
Yeah, they've only been open for a week or so by the time I shot this video and they have a few consistency issues they need to work out. Thanks for watching!
Cherry stone is a type of clam. Prices way too high. I hope you get the whole pot of sunday sauce for that price. lol
Got it! The Sunday gravy was a pretty large order. There was a lot of it, and a lot of meat inside, but it was very expensive. Thanks for watching!
Life is a buffet if you're willing to pay😂
Truth!
FUNNY ... how a SINGLE GLASS OF WINE 🍷 can COST MORE than an ENTIRE MEAL 😋
Yeah it's kind of nuts, and certainly not my style lol. Thanks for watching!
Is the sauce cheese?
Which sauce?
Wow
That lasagna ❤
Yes! The short rib lasagna pinwheels were very tasty! Thanks for watching!
To me it seems that perhaps the Sunday gravy was salty. I can understand the meatball being salty as they do mix it by hand, but the sausage? Strange.
Yeah, I'm not sure how they got it to be that salty without noticing. The red sauce on its own wasn't too bad so it was definitely the meats. Thanks for watching!
Song?
When?
new to and love your channel so far, BUT ALL THAT HIGH PRICED C R A P IS INSANE, JUST A BUNCHA '''REGULAR SAME TASTING FOOD YOU CAN GET ''''ANYWHERE OFF STRIP''''UP FLAMINGO/TROPICANA/SAHARA/SPRING MOUNTAIN, ETC FOR HALF THE PRICE WITH ''''BIGGER-PORTIONS...TRUST ME I LEARNED FROM VEGAS LOCALS...................................
Yeah, nothing on the Vegas strip is priced fairly. But that's a big point of my videos, I want folks to see it before they get there as opposed to getting shocked in person. Thanks for watching!
Salty balls are the worst!
I have to agree! Thanks for watching!
@@VegaswithShin thank you for posting! My bf and I love your videos! We always rush to watch when you’ve uploaded. Can’t wait to see your Durango video!
Sunday gravy needs more gravy. The pizza looked pitiful. You could make more sauce at home, add the meat and don't add salt.
The pizza may not have looked great but it was one of the best tasting things I had that evening. Sunday gravy could definitely use some more gravy agreed. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for showing this place. Don't think i will be trying. Raw pasta isnt my thing.
Happy to save you the trip! So much great Italian in Vegas so this is not a must try I'd say. Thanks for watching!
Cherrystone is a type of clam
Ah! Got it! Thank you!
Those “breadsticks “ are meant to expand in your stomach and keep you full, they’re crisp so you have to chew a lot
That way when you have the sh&ty pasta you can say at least I am full
What a joke of a place !!
I did like that cheese butter though. Thanks for watching!
Italian-american food only very few things of this menu you will find in Italia 🤔
I've never been to Italy but I hear that very often. Thanks for watching!
Shame, disappointed again for the prices and food they served you 😢😤....would of sent back dishes that wasn't up to your expectations...have a great weekend and week 😘🤗❤
It wasn't awful, just could have been better. Thank you for watching and have a great week Jade!
different offerings. ss about the salt. the mgm buffet is not considered top notch. you think this eatery is on the same level?
It's definitely better than the buffet from what I recall but I haven't been to the buffet in almost two years. I'd easily go to Luchini over the buffet if given the choice and budget not withstanding. Thanks for watching!
Shin 4 the Win
Thank you !
Always enjoyed your videos. Italian food is so one dimensional. Cheese everywhere!!! I don’t usually go to Italian for fine dining on strip. Italian food is so overrated!!
While I don't disagree, I still love Italian food lol. Thanks for watching!
Salt is a hard lesson …
It is. Once it goes in, you can't take it out. Thanks for watching!
Sadly way 2 much crust on that pizza. Lol
It was pretty thin from what I recall. It was easily one of the best things I had that night. Thanks for watching!
Thank goodness your parents drink.
I drink also, just not alone mostly. Thanks for watching!
after seeing the menu i had higher expectations. Geez you seemed disappointed with 3/4 of the dishes. I can't believe a dish that salty could pass the head chef. maybe an off night, but for what you spent they should offer you a comped meal for how bad that was.
It could have been an off night. They're also very new so they could have some kinks to work out. Hopefully they up the consistency. Thanks for watching!
They should’ve had their best chefs working a Saturday night….dont think this restaurants going to make it either…..
Yeah, they're also very new so it could be that they just need more time to get everything consistent. We'll see if they're still around in a few years. Thanks for watching!
Send that back too much,sodium that’s a no especially for how much you spent.
Yeah, I was very surprised with how salty the meats in the gravy were. But by then it was already almost 3 hours in and my parents were tired and needed to get home lol. Thanks for watching!
Pretty sad looking Italian place. Definitely never going there.
Happy to save you the trip! Thanks for watching!
overpriced crap
Thanks for your thoughts!
Hehhh so so. Nothing stood out to me. Could be at any typical Italian restaurant. PASS.
Yeah, I think there are better Italian restaurants in Vegas for sure. Thanks for watching!
Based on wine prices, i would never go there
Happy to save you the trip! Thanks for watching!
Oh he was saying fra diavolo!!!
Yes~!
