text: This restaurant is located in the casino of the New York New York Hotel/ Casino on the strip with options of dining inside or outside (in the casino).\n\nMy partner and I thought we'd give it a try mid week, with no need to make reservations.\n\nThe food was quite good for the price paid. Slightly classy Italian with decent selection of appetisers and breads. The serving sizes were perfect and we didn't require ice cream or coffee afterward.\n\n***HOWEVER, there were a few issues we had with our dining experience. The primary issue was with service. The restaurant was almost empty when we arrived and we were both told to \"wait outside and you will be seated immediately\"... What they didn't mention was that we had to wait for the floor staff to finish laughing amongst themselves before nothing to seat us.\n\nOnce finally seated we looked through the menu, chose our meals and twiddled our thumbs and yawned a few times before the waiter came back (20 minutes later) with water and the free bread we were meant to receive on arrival...? He had forgotten to get the oil and vinegar for the breads so we ordered our food and waited for our oil.\n\n10 minutes later a lady who couldn't understand much english came along with the oil and poured it all over the place (yes, this was a language barrier issue - the oil was everywhere like a crime scene), and we spent a few moments giving the place a good wipe down in preparation for the meal.\n\nThe mains were actually quite timely once we disregard the other delays... Although I did spend a further 5 minutes figuring out where the restroom was in the casino (why the f*ck there wasn't one in the restaurant I will never know)..\n\nAs stated above the meals were fine......\n\nOnce we were finished we spent about 5 minutes staring into space yawning before we walked to the bar to ask for our bill. The bill eventually came along, it wasn't too bad.\n\nWould I go there again? No. Was the food great? Yes. Do they need to sort out their staff? Yes. Did we tip them? HELL NO.
