    We had a spectacular dining experience at the Bootlegger Bistro last night!!! From the time we walked thru the door of this nostalgic dining venue until we left the restaurant we were transported to Mama’s house for dinner!! Our server , Eddie, went above and beyond to tell us about the dining options and specialties on the menu!! The mushroom caps were so flavorful and the garlic bread was a welcome preparation for our meals!! We each ordered a different entree!! The Classic Spaghetti was over the moon in delightful taste!! The Lasagna was flavorful!! Mama should be proud of her restaurant!! We will go again next visit to Las Vegas!!!!

    Ambiance and decor as great - food slightly above average - little pricier than similar venues that offer same dish, and serving was smaller than others - service was good and staff was polite and professional.

    This may be the best Italian food in town. The rigatoni with meat sausage was perfect al dente, the Italian sausage and the meat sauce with it were right on the mark. My wife had the chicken scallopini piccata. It was the best she has ever had.

    Lovely way to spend Mother’s Day! Beautiful and classic restaurant/bistro. Service was perfect, along with great cocktails and food! Eggplant and ravioli were our go to! Though the drive was far, since we live in north Summerlin, it’s definitely worth the drive…

    Excellent menu! Excellent specials! Superb service! I had the special pasta with lobster…the lobster meat was so delicious and sweet! The sauce was like a very light Alfredo but it technically was not an Alfredo sauce, I don’t think. Definitely going to be our “go-to” Italian Restaurant! Thank you!

    We were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and thought we would have been seated in one of the booths. We were put at a table next to the kitchen. I would have thought because of the special occasion they would have seated us in a more quiet area. When exiting the restaurant, I did ask why we were not given a booth. We were told that I should have called and requested the booth rather than use this app. It is our favorite restaurant in Vegas, and have eaten there a few times. We do not live in Vegas, so when we visit we always stop for dinner there. Our server was very attentive and we were given a special presentation of our dessert. Next time, I will call. Really do love the ambiance and the food.
