Pretty cool spot. We went on a Monday for live music. A really good comedian opened. The live music was nice. Robin Nievera played and sang adult contemporary. We had lots of bread. The crust was crisp and the center was soft. It was served with butter. We mixed the oil and vinegar on the table with seasoning for an extra go with. We shared the calamari. Beautiful presentation. Flaky breading. Tender meat. He had the mushroom ravioli. I had the beef. Both were very yummy. I had enough to have some for a small lunch the next day. So good. Friendly service. Warm ambiance. We didn't know anyone there, but it felt like dinner with friends. read more

Very nice vibes! Went on a evening where they had a live band playing. It was quite loud so we couldn't hear our conversation. Regardless, the service was excellent despite a mishap. We were seated shortly after arriving at around 7:30PM. Our waiter was a young guy who just took our order by memory, which was very impressive but he forgot to put in our order for a Bianca pizza. We ordered a Caprese, Crab Cakes, Risotto con Capresante, and Wild Mushroom Ravioli. The appetizers are definitely the standing out dishes while the risotto was okay. We did end up ordering the Bianca and Margherita pizza to go a week after via Grubhub. The pizza toppings were good but the crust was very hard. It could be due to the travel time from order pickup to actually consuming them. Would've love to have tried it fresh but, it is what it is. read more

Cute place. They have live music, which I love. It was a young guy singing Frank Sinatra songs. Food and drinks were pretty good. I had Chicken Piccata, husband had Brunella Special (which is a spicy sausage pasta in a pink sauce. We also had Brschetta for an appetizer and they brought out bread. I really liked the bread and I don't usually eat it. The Bruschetta was ok, nothing fancy. Chicken Piccata, the portion size was perfect for me but I would say was a smidge small for a mid $20's dish with just chicken and a few toasted veggies. I tried my husbands, he really liked it. We also had drinks. He has a Lemon Drop Martini I believe and I had the Tiramisu Martini. His was really good, mine was more like coffee but I liked the concept of it. The only thing I would have liked is if the lights were down a little. It was very lit up. Plus the place was so loud with people talking over each other. I say try it. The wait staff was so great too. Everyone was so kind from the front of the house to anyone who touched the table. Genuinely nice, I love that. read more

We wanted to continue to support Restaurant Week so my daughter chose this place for dinner and after viewing the menu, I made the reservation. The offering was a three course meal at $50 per person, very reasonable. We arrived on a week day evening and were promptly seated by the kind hostess. Water and the most delicious fresh bread was brought to the table. Our server Nicole was fantastic and took such great care of us. Being that this is an Italian restaurant, I again tried to order a Peach Bellini. Another fail, I was brought a glass of Prosecco. Where was the peach puree?? I promptly sent it back and had a glass of wine instead. I guess I am going to have to return to Italy to get my Bellini. We started with the Pear and Gorgonzola Bruschetta and the Sicilian Arancini. We enjoyed both of these appetizers. Our entrees then arrived. I ordered the Branzino which I found to be tasty. My husband ordered the Chicken Marsala and my daughter ordered the Wild Mushroom Ravioli. The Chicken Marsala was just ok, we have had better. Being a vegetarian, my daughter ordered the Wild Mushroom Ravioli. This dish had a very odd odor and she only took a couple bites before she stopped. We should have sent it back but she didn't want to make a fuss. The best part of our experience here was the entertainment. They featured a singer/comedian named Seth Robichaux and he was fabulous. He did impressions, sang, and added in a little comedy. He really engaged with all the patrons. He was so much fun! I wish more local places offered nightly entertainment. read more

A neighborhood Italian joint doing things a little differently but in the best way. When was the last time you saw duck ragù on a menu? Exactly. And then I spotted pear filled pasta, which is so rare I had no choice but to order it. Everything we tried was delicious, even the straight-from-the-oven French bread. The melon prosciutto was lovely - juicy, chilled melon wrapped in salty, silky prosciutto. Total opposites colliding and creating magic. The pasta is house-made, and you can absolutely taste the difference. Our server Garren is a star. The way he described his favorite dishes - like a true badass foodie - made me want to order one of everything. Back to that unique pear pasta: filled with candied pears, ricotta, taleggio, grana padano, and parmigiano, all swimming in a creamy gorgonzola sauce. One piece of advice: order this only if you love gorgonzola because it's strong, funky, very blue-cheese-forward, but the contrast between the sweet pears and the pungent sauce was gorgeous. The pistachios on top were the perfect finishing touch. We even got to meet the chef, who's Italian but grew up in Germany. The menu isn't classic Italian fare, and that's exactly what makes it stand out. We'll be back. read more

Had dinner here and to see Seth Robichaux, No Filter All Glitter Show. The food we ordered that included a pear salad, meatballs, lasagna and bruschetta were all good. We were alittle disappointed they were out of 3 desserts and a couple gelatos so we settled with vanilla gelato. The service was good and dine in area nice. The thing that made our evening experience great was the live performance by Seth who did a variety of songs and comedy for 3 hours with only a couple of short breaks. He also has a guest comedian. Overall, the show and dinner were a fun and great time. read more

Wonderful Italian restaurant on Ft Apache. Its a large open space modern and clean. We went for my Moms birthday, specifically to hear the violin player. There was only one server this night, so the service was a little slow. But considering there were to large parties celebrating birthdays it was understandable. The menu was different then most Italian not filled with old school items. The meal started with freshly made bread that had a light tomatoe oil based dipping sauce. I had a shared pear salad and chicken in gorganzola sauce topped with crushed pistachios. The salad was huge. Three or four could have shared this. The chicken to me was a bit salty, and could have been more tender. The vegtables on the plate were perfectly cooked. Other family members had a spicy rigatoni with ground sausage, chicken pesto over tagliatelle, salmon with vegtables, a huge portion of chicken parm. But the highlight from what I tasted, was a pasta what was like little pouches filled with ricotta cheese and pear, topped with a gorganzola sauce. The dish was delicate and creamy, very delicious. We ended the meal with complimentary tiramusu for the birthday girl and a slice of lemoncello cake we passed aroung. The restaurant is fairly new sister restaurant to Brunello in Sun City. Would definetly go back to try other dishes from the large menu. Its a wonderful place to celebrate a special event. read more

A standout new spot for Italian comfort with polish Cantinetta came highly recommended by a neighbor, and it turned out to be a true neighborhood gem. Only three months in, yet the kitchen is already executing with confidence and consistency. The space features an open-concept bar and live entertainment on weekends. A violinist was performing during our visit, adding a refined, old-world touch that complemented the warm, festive holiday décor perfectly. Service was seamless from the start. We were greeted by the maître d', Matthew, and seated immediately. Our server, Garen, was knowledgeable, attentive, and paced the meal well. Fresh, warm bread arrived with a flavorful dipping sauce--always an appreciated detail when done right. We began with the Sicilian Arancini, which were crisp on the outside, tender inside, and generously filled with seasoned beef, peas, and mozzarella. The vodka sauce was rich, balanced, and downright addictive--absolutely a must-order. The Cozze e Vongole al Prosecco followed, featuring plump mussels and clams bathed in a buttery, aromatic broth. The sauce alone was worthy of extra bread and easily one of the highlights of the meal. For entrées, the Osso Buco Stuffed Ravioli delivered beautifully on flavor. The filling was deeply savory and well-seasoned, though the pasta itself leaned slightly more al dente than expected. The Godfather Pizza (12") was a hearty, meat-forward pie with well-balanced flavors and a satisfying crust--extremely filling and perfect for sharing. From thoughtful presentation to quality ingredients and execution, every dish reflected care and intention. While pricing is on the higher side, the quality fully justifies it. After scanning the menu, there are plenty of other dishes calling our name, so a return visit is already planned. Cantinetta is an excellent find for those seeking elevated Italian comfort food with a lively, neighborhood vibe. read more

Cantinetta is a very nice Italian Restaurant and Bar with a Sofia Loren Theme inside. It's very fancy inside and your meals come out on the most amazing plates ever. The menu has all your usual Italian foods that you expect to find but it also offers many plates that you seldom see on an Italian menu like salmon carbonara, beet carpaccio, and chocolate spaghetti. They started us off with bread and a sun-dried tomato oil. We started off with the deep fried eggplant appetizer. For being deep fried they did a very good job because it seemed free of oil and had a nice crispy exterior. The eggplant flesh was very sweet and tasted more like white eggplant. This came embellished with walnut sauce. For my main I tried the lunch chicken piccata. For a lunch size it was very generous and was a good amount of pounded chicken breast in a lemon butter caper sauce with nicely prepared fresh mixed vegetables and potatoes. My husband had the rigatoni picante. It was slightly different than the usual pasta and sausage dish because instead of regular sausage it was made with ndija spicy spreadable sausage made with Calabrian Chili so it was very spicy. We were way too full to try the dessert pastas but managed to try a gelato 1/2 Amareno Cherry and 1/2 Pistachio both were good but the cherry had a creamier richer texture. Our server was friendly helpful and efficient. Even the cook was friendly too. read more

By far the best meal we had in Vegas and eating out in a long time. It is away from the strip but 20 mins drive and free parking can't be beat. It was well worth it. Our server Matthew explained the background of the restaurant and went over the menu with us. The cioppino was topped with oven baked flatbread like a pie and served table side. Peel the crispy pieces of the flatbread and soak in the cioppino sauce. I can't remember the last time I had pollo all parmesana that was still moist and tender. read more

We visited on Saturday, for lunch, with a party of two and it was an ok experience. We arrived and were seated right away, the dining area is nice and well decorated. One of the cooks (possibly an owner?) took our drink orders, their margaritas are excellent, with a splash of red wine on top. We stared with the Arancini, it was tasty and well prepared. Then it kind of went downhill. The Minestrone Soup was nothing but broth and pieces of tomato, mushroom, and squash. No pasta, no other vegetables, and quite watery. We then went with Lasagna and Frutti di Mare for entrees. The lasagna was cold in the middle, the seafood pasta was very bland, no taste at all. I really wanted to rate this place higher, as the waiter and staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. The food just was not that good, maybe we hit them on an off day. read more

I was a part of the large group that dined at your restaurant on 7/1/26 for both dinner and the show, and overall it was a very enjoyable experience. I was immediately impressed by the ambiance -- the atmosphere was beautiful and added so much to the evening. My entrée was excellent and definitely worth ordering. The only downside was the wait time for food and dessert service. My entrée took quite a while to arrive, and after waiting about 30 minutes for dessert, I finally decided to take it to go instead. That said, the show was absolutely terrific and truly made the evening memorable. The entertainment and overall experience more than made up for the delays, and I still left having thoroughly enjoyed the night. read more

We ordered our food at 4pm. It was supposed to be ready at 4:45pm. However, we didnt receive it until 5:20. The food was meh. I ordered salmon carbonara with smoked salmon. It didnt have much taste, they didnt use smoked salmon, and there was barely any salmon. If you look at the other pictures of the salmon carbonara in yelp, you will see there is not much salmon in the salmon carbonara. We ordered two pizzas. The pizzas were okay, but not worth the price. The mushroom ravioli was good! read more

Wow! With all of the Italian places near Summerlin, there's a lot to choose from. Cantinetta stands out for me. Fresh food, great flavors and taste with excellent service too. I had the prosciutto and mushroom pizza which was very good. The dough was fresh and light not filling. The garlic bread was good, fresh bread and great taste. I tried the mushroom risotto which was amazing. I will be back for sure. Pricing is also reasonable. My 12 inch pizza I took half of it home. Decent portions of food too. This is a must try Italian place. I wish them nothing but success! read more

This was for my second visit to Cantinetta. Trés improvement! I went with a dining group that visits this restaurant semi-regularly. So much was very good. I loved my lemonciello cocktail and my bruschetta was remarkable. I don't order it very often, mostly because the balsamic in most bruschettas is too dominant for my taste. But this batch... was the perfect balance of balsamic and olive oil. Also the perfect amount of pieces. I was impressed. My main entree was a pasta with pesto that had shrimps. I'm always a bit cautious about seafood in the desert, but again, impressed. These shrimpies were plump, did not taste frozen and quite delicious. Also, the amount of pasta fed me for two more meals! Lastly, was the pistachio desert. I think it was a cheesecake, but I'm not sure. All I know is that it was delectable. There was also extra pistachio oil on the plate to soak up. It was dreamy! Another thing I wanted to bring up is that the first time I went there, the appearance of the meals was a bit off. I waited quite a while for my entree. This time, everything was delivered in unison, perfect timing and with a smile. I do recommend this place and I commend the owners, especially the waitstaff and of course, the talented chefs. Thank you for a nice meal. read more

I was truly impressed with Cantinetta. I had never tried a Brunello restaurant before, and this visit was my first introduction to their cuisine. The experience exceeded my expectations in every way. The ambiance immediately stood out. The high ceilings and warm, inviting interior create an elegant yet comfortable atmosphere. The modern furniture and portraits of iconic women add a thoughtful, artistic touch. I also appreciated how well-spaced the tables were, making it ideal for date nights, celebrations, or private events. Service was impeccable. Our server, Matt, was excellent--professional, personable, and attentive with his recommendations, which I always appreciate when visiting a new restaurant. He mentioned that because the restaurant just opened, the team is still small, with only two servers at the moment. Despite that, the staff worked seamlessly together. Chef Roland executed every dish beautifully, and Inga and another team member her name starts with an L (whose name I unfortunately forgot) were both kind and accommodating. I never had to ask for anything; the staff was consistently attentive. The food, drinks, and dessert were all outstanding. Each dish was beautifully presented and thoughtfully prepared. We ordered entirely based on the server's suggestions, and every recommendation was spot-on. The Pear Heaven Salad was refreshing, with perfectly balanced flavors. The bruschetta was soft, flavorful, and not overly sauced. One of the highlights was the Pizzasta--a unique dish from their original location featuring half pasta baked into the dough and half pizza. The pasta was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The tableside Cioppino was another standout, with a baked dough top that paired perfectly with the seafood sauce. It had a great balance of clams, mussels, calamari, and scallops. The Brunello special was another favorite, especially the sauce, which was rich and flavorful. The Tagliatelle Pesto Pasta was creamy and packed with depth, and the off-menu chicken tacos--a baked chicken breast with Caesar salad and a buttery pesto or aioli--were a pleasant surprise. For cocktails, we tried the Pistachio Martini and the Tiramisu Martini. Both were well-balanced and true to their names. The pistachio martini reminded me of a cannoli but in liquid form, and the tiramisu martini had a subtle espresso flavor that I really enjoyed. The desserts were equally impressive--beautifully detailed and delicious. Overall, Cantinetta delivered a memorable dining experience. The combination of exceptional food, attentive service, and a thoughtfully designed space made it a standout. I've already recommended it to family and friends and plan to return soon, possibly for my birthday. Cantinetta is a welcome addition to Southwest Vegas and a strong contender for one of the best new Italian restaurants in Las Vegas read more

Staff was friendly and easy to talk to, they checked-in on us, never had to call them over for anything. We got the fried calamari and Burrata Brule, great presentation on the Burrata and it was very tasty, the tomatoes sauce and nuts they dress it with, amplify the creamy burrata. Loved the calamari, they were crisp, not a heavy breading and still TENDER! Table got the Cioppino, show stopper presentation! That bread topper was tasty! Also got Insalata De Pere, Scallop Rissoto, Shrimp Pesto (housemade) Pasta. Cant go wrong with any, the rissoto was tender and creamy, the pesto pasta was gentle flavor and the actual pasta tender without being mush. The entree size portion is good for the price, easily shareable for 2. read more

When we walked in the ambiance was amazing but that's the best I can say. Happy Hour Caprese - 3 slices of unripened tomatoes and two small slices of mozzarella in-between Happy Hour Caesar - menu said it was one of there specialties but where were the anchovies? After waiting almost an hour for our main courses we found out that there was a "computer glitch" and the kitchen had never gotten our order. It was over an hour before we got our food. Frutti di Mare - I ordered it with only scallops, shrimp and clams but it came out with calamari and octopus which I was picking out through my whole meal. They offered to make it again but after waiting over an hour I declined. UGH Gnocchi Al Taleggio - my friend said the sauce was too thick and pasty. They did give us two desserts but even those were lacking. My creme brûlée tasted more like a pudding than a custard. What a disaster. read more

Cantonetta is a charming and decent Italian restaurant that has its moments of success and a few things to improve upon. The interior is lovely. They really thought about how it should be arranged and everything is a fun nod to Italian culture. I found the space relaxing and they really made use of every inch. Our server was very attentive and I really enjoyed how he explained the menu in detail. That said, he was a bit clumsy. Not only spilled water on the table and both, but dropped a dirty fork on the table as well from my plate. And when he brought me a fresh iced tea, he left the empty glass on the table. He did sell us on a very smooth pistachio martini so props to him for that. He knows what he's doing behind the bar. Let's talk about the food. The breadsticks were very nice.. but the dip that was included was missing a little of that something. It wasn't exciting despite the flavors that were in there. The standouts were absolutely the appetizers. The non-traditional calamari was so tender and flavorful I honestly could have eaten that all night. Conversely, the burrata salad was a treat. So fresh and smooth. I highly recommend both. My braised beef ravioli was an absolute swing and a miss. When meat is braised it's going to slightly caramelize, go darker brown, and it's going to give it this very distinct flavor. When I cut open the ravioli I saw that it was cooked but there was absolutely no braising done. And that is necessary to bring out that texture and flavor. So it resulted in a very bland ravioli with a small portion size. I was actually hungry and I'm really glad that my partner shared his pasta. His pasta on the other hand was so loaded with meat and flavor and it was so generously portioned. I honestly wish I had ordered that. Dessert was the the lemon-layered cake and it was exactly as described. Moist, light, and lemony. It was a nice way to end the meal. Would I go here again for dinner? Maybe. But in the future if I do return it will be for lunch. read more

My initial visit to this restaurant was during their soft opening period several days before their grand opening. I was immediately taken with the bright, chic interior of the restaurant, particularly knowing what the space had looked like for the prior restaurant in this location. The owners obviously put an immense amount of care and attention in to the remodel to give it a high end flair. I say at the bar as it was just myself and the restaurant was not yet busy at that time, though there was quite a crowd as the night went on. The little bar area was very cozy and well designed. I had a couple of the staple specialty cocktails, including anbold fashioned and a lemon drop. The bartender was still training and was up front about it. The old fashioned was nothing unusual, though it was less liquid than I would expect for the cocktail and they did not have any black cherries at the time. The lemon drop had to be redone be the owner, who mentioned she loves lemon drops. The new one was perfectly on point and balanced. In terms of food, I had the Caesar salad, the pear fagotti, a sample of the Rigatoni piccante, and the chocolate temptation for dessert. I am a huge fan of Caesar salad and this one did not disappoint, it was a good size portion, all of the lettuce was coated with Caesar dressing, and the dressing was very obviously hand made with its delicious flavor. I came to learn later that the Caesar dressing recipe has been in the family for years and that even the owners kids can tell the difference when a Caesar dressing is not done right. The pear fagotti was nothing short of incredible. The flavors were perfectly balanced and the pasta was almost an Italian version of a dumpling filled with the candies pear and ricotta, with the gorgonzola cream sauce pairing just right. The owner brought out a chef sample of the Rigatoni Piccante while I was eating. I was a bit hesitant as I do not live spicy food, but it was a flavor explosion that was absolutely delicious where I would gladly get the full dish in the future. For dessert, the chocolate temptation was a layered chocolate dish. Often these types of desserts do not balance well, but this one was on point. The cake was just the right amount of moist and the other layers played with each other perfectly. All the staff and the owner were great to speak to during my visit. They all clearly were passionate about the restaurant and enthusiastic about the food. I had expected to just pop in quickly for dinner, but ended up spending a relaxing evening there just because it felt cozy and I was enjoying talking with the staff. Definitely would recommend giving this plane a try, they are an incredible addition ti the neighborhood! read more

My girlfriends and I celebrated our first HH of this new year at this beautiful restaurant. Their HH usually ends at 5 pm but they did us a favor and extended it for an additional hour since we usually dine at 5. Very sweet. We opted for several options to share and all selections were wonderful. Meatballs need a bit more pizazz but Italian girls usually a critical if they're not as good as our own !! Calamari was sooo good. Rings were super thick and tentacles included was definitely a plus. Clams and mussels were fresh with tons of garlic ... yum !! We chose 2 different pizzas, a plain cheese and a prosciutto and mushroom. Definitely recommended. Caesar Salad was large and lettuce was cold and crunchy. Love that !! Live music (on a Tuesday !!) started around 6:30. My personal opinion is that on a Tuesday night or any other night during the week live music should be a little earlier. Perhaps at 5 PM? Decor is tastefully done. Highly recommend this restaurant, especially for HH. read more

Dining at Cantinetta was an absolute delight from start to finish. The moment you walk in, you're greeted with an atmosphere that feels both warm and sophisticated--cozy lighting, elegant décor, and an inviting charm that immediately sets the tone for a memorable evening. It has the perfect balance of casual comfort and fine dining elegance, making it ideal for both a romantic night out and a special gathering with friends or family. The service was exceptional. Every staff member we interacted with was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely passionate about making sure we had a great experience. Our server took the time to explain the specials, recommend wine pairings, and check in at just the right moments. It never felt rushed, but we also never had to wait long for anything--we truly felt cared for. Now, the food--absolutely outstanding. You can tell immediately that Cantinetta prides itself on authentic Italian flavors and high-quality ingredients. We started with an antipasto platter that showcased beautifully curated meats and cheeses, paired with fresh bread that was perfectly crusty on the outside and soft inside. The pastas are clearly made in-house; I tried the tagliatelle, and it was silky, delicate, and cooked to perfection. The sauce was rich and layered with flavor, the kind of dish that makes you pause between bites just to savor it. My dining companion had the gnocchi, which were pillowy soft and paired with a sauce so flavorful it was practically addictive. The main courses were equally impressive. The braised short ribs melted in the mouth and were paired with seasonal vegetables that brought a fresh balance to the richness of the meat. The seafood options were just as remarkable, with a branzino that was light, flaky, and seasoned to perfection. Every dish was plated beautifully, making the experience feel even more special. Cantinetta also shines with its wine list and cocktails. The selection is thoughtful and well-curated, featuring Italian wines that complement the menu perfectly. Our server suggested a red that paired beautifully with the pasta, and it was spot on. Even the cocktails had a creative twist--balanced, flavorful, and made with quality spirits. Finally, dessert was the perfect ending. The tiramisu was heavenly, creamy yet light, with just the right amount of espresso flavor. We also tried the panna cotta, which was silky smooth and paired with fresh berries that elevated it to another level. Overall, Cantinetta delivers in every category--ambiance, service, food, drinks, and hospitality. It's rare to find a restaurant that gets every detail right, but Cantinetta does it effortlessly. This was one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I've had in a long time, and I can't wait to return. If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine served with genuine care in a beautiful setting, Cantinetta is the place to go. Truly a five-star gem. read more

This place feels like stumbling into a secret corner of Italy that Italy itself doesn't even know about. We did the four-course menu, and here's the thing -- there was absolutely no weak link. No "well, that one was just okay." No mid-meal dip in enthusiasm. The salad was fresh enough to make you question every salad you've eaten before it, the pasta was homemade and tasted like it, and the branzino? The branzino was so good it felt slightly illegal. Each course just kept raising the bar, which frankly felt like showing off, but we'll allow it. Great food, service that actually pays attention to you (a lost art!), and a setting so charming you'll forget you have a home to go back to. We're already plotting our return. read more
