Good food but only 2 stars? Unfortunately, yes. Upon entering my buddy and I encountered the manager arguing with a waitress/staff. Not appropriate in public at a gourmet restaurant.. As for the atmosphere, in spite of the lovely views from the floor-to-ceiling windows, the place somehow came across like a fancy coffee shop - the tables and the booths just didn't work. \n\nThe restaurant also was dark - but not dark/romantic like so many charming Italian places, just dark.\n\nThe wait staff was good - while it's true that they removed plates from my buddy before everyone (me) was finished that is not uncommon in the U.S., so I will overlook it.\n\nMy friend had a steak - he thought it was very good. I had the Spaghetti nove (seafood) with some kind of dark spaghetti mixed in - also good and the spaghetti done al dente as it should be. But frankly not outstanding.\n\nWe had a bottle of wine - a good Merlot (no, not an oxymoron) that should have been $40-50 but was $125 - well it's Vegas.\n\nUpon departure they had to call the elevator from the lobby (the buttons were disabled) and it took a full 10 minutes.\n\nDinner for 2 including tax/tip/wine was $350. Pasta Mia down the block in a strip mall is better at 1/4 the price.\n\nAnd it was empty at 7:30PM on a Friday night. Evidently I am not the only person disappointed.\n\nFrankly it's a shame - this place could be great. Maybe Nove Italiano just needs a new manager.
