    We were looking for an Italian restaurant with steaks away from the high priced strip and found it here! Food was excellent and the Ribeye was one of the best (according to my meat loving husband who is from Nebraska)! We will definitely remember Bootleggers when we return to Vegas!

    Bootlegger is a must - the service, the care, the food are all, more than, above average. Bootlegger has become out go-to place for treating guests or ourselves. The main dining room is great with the live music, but we really enjoy a booth in the bar - great action and entertainment (by guests and staff). A special thank you to Ivan - bar area server - really understands how to take care of customers. There are a lot of great Italian restaurants in Las Vegas - but Bootlegger stands out. My wife and I both highly recommend Bootlegger!

    Wonderful restaurant with excellent food. We truly enjoyed the live music and the ambience of the space. Our waiter was very attentive and even provided a brief history of the restaurant. We celebrated my husband's birthday which they made special with a quick song from the live musician. I would recommend this restaurant for a great night out.

    On the Friday after Thanksgiving, we took our young teen grandsons and their friend to Bootlegger for dinner after a long day at Area 15. We arrived at 4:30 pm just before the dinner rush and sat at a lovely table in the dining room. Everyone loved their food - bolognese, veal marsala, carbonara, and more. Our waiter was so personable interacting with our young guys and made our meal delightful. Bootlegger is a wonderful treasure.

    My favorite Italian restaurant in Las Vegas. The food is amazing, and the menu is vast and has choices for everyone. The portions are large! They have gluten free options. The service is above and beyond...everyone from the time you walk in the door are warm, welcoming, friendly, and efficient! The servers are absolutely the best! There are lunch specials which are a great value. Always a fabulous experience!

    As always, Bootlegger continues to maintain the tradition of excellence Mama Maria founded. The service was above reproach, the ambiance lovely and the food drew raves from all. My nephew, who is visiting from prime beef country in West Texas, said he had never had a better ribeye. My wife and my mom both had the Eggplant because it is both of their hands-down favorite, and it never disappoints, Bene. Molto Bene!

    We have had many good meals here but the most recent was slightly disappointing. The lasagna wasn't as good as we remember. It seemed to be overcooked on top. Maybe it was an older batch that dried out or was cooked too long. Also, the Chicken Parm was soggy and dry. I prefer to taste the crisp on my chicken parm. Again, a dish seemingly left sitting around and not served fresh. We had brought friends from Maui to experience the restaurant and we were a bit embarrassed at the lower quality of the food. The ambiance and service were still great but the food was subpar.

    If your looking for a delicious, authentic Italian meal this is the place. You will not be disappointed. Our party ordered the wedge salad, house salad, fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, the bolognese, and lastly the pork chop Marsala. All dishes were spot on and outstanding. Plus the bread and sauce you get before your meal is dangerously delicious. We will definitely return!

    The flavor of the red sauce was not so great. I will say that the garlic bread bites were tasty & the dipping sauce was really good. Maybe they lay sauce needs to be used vs the one we had in our entrees.
