Wanted something close by and it was getting late. Opted for the M Resort and decided to try Marinella's with my 2 friends. We were sat right away. Pretty busy on a Friday evening but service was fast. Our server was nice but had to ask the food runner to bring us the cocktail/wine list because our server never brought it even after asking twice. I order an espresso martini. Not bad but was a little watered down and hardly any foam on top like a usual espresso martini when I go other places. I got the eggplant parmesan. Good size portion of spaghetti on the side and eggplant. Was nicely seasoned and tasted good. Easily could split this dish with someone. They did bring warm ciabatta rolls and butter in the beginning. My other friends got the bolognese which he only ate part of because there was so much meat in the dish. More meat than pasta. He also had a glass of wine. My other friend had spaghetti and meatball with an old fashion. Not many options if you do not eat meat or seafood. Almost every pasta dish had meat or seafood so as someone that doesn't eat those I was limited to salad, spaghetti without the meatball or eggplant Parmesan. Overall the atmosphere was nice. Someone was playing the piano when we first got there. The drinks and food were decent. Service was good. Nothing that screamed exceptional. Nice choice if you want Italian and are staying at the M but Vegas does have many other Italian options. read more

My first experience at Marinelli's and they did not disappoint. I was greeted with a friendly smile and seated immediately. The dining area was moderately elegant and had very warm atmosphere. The waitress was very attentive; bread, butter and drinks were served promptly. I arrived at their Happy Hour (4 - 5 PM). Happy Hour menu is limited but it's a BOGO, very nice items available. The meal portions are rather large. I ordered the European Sea bass and Limoncello Cheesecake for desert. Everything I ate was superb. I have zero complaints and highly recommend giving this establishment a visit. Buon Appetito ! read more

Casual Italian restaurant located just off the casino floor. They have a nice happy hour featuring buy 1 get 1 apps but it's only from 4pm-5pm so get there early. Service was great at the bar! The food was hit or miss. Meatballs 5/5 Deliciously tender, topped with burrata espuma (tasted like ricotta) and nestled in a nice red sauce. Spicy shrimp scampi 2/5 The sauce was good, but needed more "spicy" and the shrimp tasted like they were boiled in water then thrown into the sauce. Chopped salad 2/5 Nice looking but the Italian vinaigrette was way too sweet. Lasagna 4/5 Always have to try anywhere it's offered. It was good not the best we have had. read more

I really wanted to love this restaurant at the M. Gave them a breakfast and a dinner try and had a much better dinner experience than breakfast. Both times were bar seating experiences, and the Bartenders themselves were excellent both times. They work very hard and very fast and are commendable. Saturday morning breakfast with Husband was sadly frustrating. He ordered the Breakfast Burrito, while I got the Avocado Toast with a Poached Egg. Coffee for him (he liked it) and I just got hot water cause I brought my own tea. And ice water for us both. Drinks came out fast. Food was taking awhile, but finally his Burrito came out along with my little poached egg (that was meant to go on the Avocado Toast). No big deal, until it took FOREVER to finally get that Avocado Toast, and that was AFTER the other folks around us who had come much later were served. Of course my egg was good and cold by then, and it was hard-boiled rather than poached anyway. Avocado "toast" was like french bread. I thought for sure we would have at least gotten a discount for my meal, but no. Fast forward to that night. Just me. Back to the bar because I really wanted pasta, and really wanted a decent glass of red wine. Got a Chianti I liked. Some delicious Foccacia, and a good plate of Bolognese. Service was very good. Much better experience than breakfast. I do have to say that both at breakfast and at dinner the ice water tasted off to me. I did not experience that anywhere else in this resort. Only here. read more

Came for breakfast and it was ok. I have been there a couple times and it's kinda what you expect from a hotel lobby kind of restaurant. It does the job and it's fine but I personally won't think it will wow you. I've had the lox and bagel and the French toast and they are good. Like they aren't the best bagel and lox you will ever get but it's above standards. Same with the French toast, like it's good enough. Service is friendly so that's a nice perk and you are going to be paying a bit of a premium cuz you are in a hotel but if you want convenience, it's good. I feel I'd be back cuz it's by not means bad so maybe it's more a 3.5 than a 3 star spot. read more

While staying at M for a three-night staycation, Diane and I had dinner here. Our reservation was honored, and we were immediately seated. We opened with a Frito Misto appetizer that contained outstanding shrimp. Pasta E Fagioli, the soup of the day, and a Caesar Salad with a Creamy Caesar Salad were both very good. But tubular Roasted Potatoes were hard and undercooked. Yet my entree of classic Fettuccini Alfredo with bits of cheese clinging to the pasta was outstanding, along with rustic rolls slathered with butter. And Diane wss very pleased with her main of Lobster Ravioli. It was a long wait for our ordered appetizer. And, Spicy Marinara Sauce was not very spicy. But service by Jesse was very good. And the view above the pool impressive. read more

Everything was so delicious! I got the Filet Mignon Saltimbocca steak cooked medium rare. It was so good. Such a huge steak. The broccolini and potatoes were so good!! I ate everything. You don't have to have appetizers since the portions are huge. 2 cocktails, which was good too! Located inside M Resort. read more

Wonderful dinner! I made reservations but probably not needed on the Wednesday night we went. The hostess is super friendly and really makes you feel welcome. Our server was Pedro who took good care of us. I started with the Pasta e Fagioli, one of my favorite soups; and it's excellent here. A perfect balance of beans, pasta and savory broth. I looked for the Salmon Oreganata that I had last visit they didn't have it but they had a Salmon dish that sounded pretty much the same, just without the bread crumbs, it was $2 more at $36 (it's been 7 months). I went with it and it was delicious. Good size piece of salmon, plenty of asparagus and roasted potatoes. I love the Lemon Caper Sauce. My BF started with a Caesar Salad which is a potion big enough for 2 with giant croutons, excellent. He had the Veal Milanese which he loved and I had a few bites and I can see why. The breaded veal cutlet is topped with arugula, baby heirloom tomatoes and shaved Parmesan...so good. Their house Pinot Noir was good and the bread is yummy. Deion was also very attentive- checking in on us as needed, refilling waters and very pleasant with a positive demeanor. It was a nice leisurely meal, I enjoy the views of the city, facing towards the strip. Didn't have room for dessert. Definitely recommend! read more

There was not a lot of authenticity in this Italian cuisine. The chicken piccata was a deep fried breaded slab of bland chicken. Basically, a low budget chicken tender slathered in a creamy mess, no lemony goodness with three sad little capers on top. The chicken Parmesan was also a sad slab of chicken. Marinelli's used to be a wonderful Italian place. So sad to see that it has gone downhill. read more

We used to come here a lot before the pandemic...they have changed their menu and have added a happy hour of buy one appetizer get one free. We were intrigued, so we popped over to check it out. This HH is 4-5 pm, so pretty early. We got there as close to 5 pm as possible. We sat at the bar and you could hear some nice music to help the ambience. The bartender was really good. He explained the menu items and helped us with redeeming some comps for it had been awhile and the system has changed. We ordered two glasses of red wine...these were not on happy hour. We ordered two meatball plates, arancini, and bacon wrapped dates. He also gave us some bread and butter to munch on before the food arrived. It was pretty decent. All the food came out and it was OK...the sauce on the meatballs was very good and the meatballs were acceptable. The arancini was also good...they were big and flavorful. The dates were chewy, had the right ingredients...but were just so so....i remember the food being much better here...so it was disappointing that it fell short of our expectations. Too many great Italian restaurants in town that this has to compete with...not sure how they are still able to exist...likely due to trapped guests with limited restaurants. Not sure if I will be back. read more

We live in Henderson so we come to the M resort often. This was our first time eating here as we tried to get into the tavern but the wait was too long and these guys had plenty of open seating. We were sat right away. It's quiet, low lit, but still semi casual. Honestly felt a little outta place with our baby. The food was good and our servers were nice enough. Nothing extraordinary, but a solid dinner for the family. read more

In celebration of our 19th wedding anniversary, we chose to dine at Martinelli's while staying at the M Resort and Spa. We were greeted with exceptional service and professionalism. We were seated immediately, given a menu and a drink menu, and presented with the freshest, warm bread we have ever had. The ambiance was romantic and fun. We both decided to order the Fettuccine Alfredo, adding chicken and broccolini. It was incredibly tasty, creamy, and flavorful. At the end, our waiter presented us with a Happy Anniversary Cupcake. It was a great end to a beautiful dinner. I highly recommend this restaurant. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. read more

Breakfast! Yes. Full menu with everything from eggs to pancakes or avocado toast or yogurt. We ate here four times during our week-long stay and it was probably the best decision we made. 3 egg breakfast comes with choice of meat, breakfast potatoes and toast. Avocado toast is delicious and beautiful. I had the breakfast burrito twice because I love chorizo that much! Service was good. Busy weekday mornings but quick service at the bar. read more

Marinelli's Italian restaurant, what a nice surprise, conveniently located next to Anthony's steakhouse in the M resort and casino!! We loved the open air feeling of this restaurant and the glass walls which allowed for a beautiful ambience and view of the outside pool and wraparound deck. Charity was our server and there was a young man with a gorgeous head of hair who was her helper, he was always on the ready and kept all of our waters nice and full. We ordered the fried calamari and the beet carpaccio salad as appetizers to share and for the entrée, the three amigas/neighbors ordered the Bronzino fish as our main course. The carpaccio beet salad was simple yet amazing and so delicious! I would go and order that again in a heartbeat. The calamari was also delicious but the older I get the less I enjoy fried foods, in other words, I enjoy fried foods, my body does not! The main entrée was very good, but interestingly, we were all expecting a more thick, meaty and juicy fish vs the thin filet we received. Next time, I will better read the description and ask more questions. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely go back, especially to order the beet carpaccio salad or try out their breakfast menu. read more

This is not even close to being authentic. It's at the same level as Olive Garden and a real Italian knows it's a poor imitation.

Great Happy Hour going on here! Buy one get one apps. Drink prices are moderate. Our server was amazing, Jack. The ambiance is very refined. It's a Piano Bar so there's great live music but it's classic Vegas atmosphere at off strip prices. And the food is excellent as well! read more

Yelp says this is a 3.1 star place. Yelp is dead on. Marinelli's Authentic Italian Cuisine is a multipurpose restaurant at the M Resort in Henderson. Not only do they have Italian food for their dinner service (Tues-Sat), but the massive windows overlooking the pool make it a good spot for breakfast, which they offer daily. As with the other restaurants at M Resort, they accept dining credit which is offered to casino cardholders with some regularity. The first time I visited was for a takeout order. The bartender is tasked to take takeout orders, which would be asinine even if he were busy with actual customers. He was seemingly doing non-customer-facing activities and made me wait at least ten minutes before he took my order. The Lasagna ($23.00) which I ordered was highly deficient in cheese and sauce. They think that having so many layers of pasta is impressive, but it just means that there's less room for the good stuff. I would rather have the Costco brand from the freezer aisle. My second visit was this morning to try some breakfast. The American Breakfast ($14.00) and Country-Fried Steak and Eggs ($17.00) were equally unimpressive. The sunny side up eggs were fine, but the scrambled eggs were oddly served in one large, dry piece instead of in an array of little curds. The country-fried steak was a poor cut that was still only minimally edible because of the stringy ligaments; it should be fork-tender, but I still had to use my knife. Also, the breading was barely present and the gravy lacked in seasoning. The bacon and toast were fine. The best item on both plates was actually the home fries, which were nicely crispy on the outside. Beverage service was nice, at least. The Coffee ($4.00) was refilled sufficiently and our server offered a to-go cup, which we accepted. The complimentary water came in large tumblers. Marinelli's is a frontrunner for least capable restaurant at M Resort. Don't go unless you have dining credit at M Resort and have no other options, or unless a good view is your highest priority and it's daytime. read more

Italian Restaurant located inside the M Casino Resort. I would recommend a reservation because the restaurant is on the smaller side. The restaurant overlooks the pool and has a partial strip view at night. The prices were reasonable for Las Vegas. We started with the calamari which was delicious. For my meal I had the chicken Parmesan and my spouse had the gnocchi. Tip: if you are allergic to Fontina cheese many of the dishes contain it. Our waiter was a rockstar and spoke with the chef to accommodate our needs. Overall it was a great experience read more

We were at M Resort & Casino, and I realized I had food credit on my Penn app. I checked on Yelp to see where we should eat for dinner. Marinelli's had a 3 star rating! The restaurant looked really nice & inviting from the outside so we had to check it out ourselves. Glad we did! We were seated immediately! Pedro was our server and he did an excellent job! Very friendly and attentive! We ordered the Caesar salad. It was delicious & big enough for 3 of us to share. I ordered the Eggplant Parmesan. There were 3 pieces of eggplant along with pasta on the side. So yummy! Hubby ordered the Chicken Parmesan. He said it was one of the best he's ever eaten. Our daughter ordered the Pappardelle. She said she's never tried anything like it before & she loved it! It's pappardelle pasta with slow braised short rib ragu. I tried a bite & it was delicious! We couldn't figure out why this restaurant only had a 3 star rating. Check it out for yourselves. We're glad we did! read more

I was staying at the M Resort in Henderson on a recent trip to Las Vegas, so it was easy for me to go downstairs and have breakfast at Marinelli's one of the days I was there. I ordered the breakfast burrito (chorizo, egg, and cheese), which came with potatoes, and a cinnamon roll. I also ended up trying the sausage links that someone else in my group ordered. The food was amazing. The chorizo had good heat and flavor and the burrito had and plenty of cheese and egg in it too. The potatoes were like eating Arby's fries in cube form, which I enjoyed. The cinnamon roll was like a warm, flaky croissant and I loved it. Finally, the sausage links were plump with good quality meat instead of junky filler. I'm sad that I was only able to fit in eating at Marinelli's once, but will gladly do so again next time I'm in Vegas. read more

Food was just decent but the service was astronomically terrible which is why I'm writing a review. Lived in Las Vegas my entire life and my server tonight was by far the worst I've ever seen. If you get waited on by an older Hispanic gentleman with glasses you might as well just leave and go elsewhere, it was THAT BAD read more

I booked our reservation on OpenTable for 8:45 pm not knowing until we were informed that the restaurant closes at 9 pm. Gemma said that we could sit down but we only had 40 minutes to eat. The staff was hiding in the shadows. The bartender gave us a dirty look. We declined and she walked us over to Anthony Steakhouse. read more

Dining here was just okay. The food was just okay. Service was just okay. The experience was just okay. I wanted to like this restaurant more than I did, but unfortunately the food, service, and experience was completely forgettable. Of the many dishes we ordered, the only one I remember being better than average was the calamari. One thing that stood out was that the tables in the restaurant surround a glass elevator. So while we were eating we could see people riding the elevator up dressed in their bathing attire which were sometimes ill fitting. It was weird seeing half dressed people getting off of the elevator in the middle of the dining area; it was very distracting. So, if you are ok with mediocre food, ok service, good Calamari and enjoy watching people coming from the pool and exiting while you dine on table bread, enjoy! read more

Marinelli's at M hotel impressed me with their well-seasoned and flavorful Italian dishes, even though I'm not a big fan of pasta dishes. I'm hooked and I want more! We made reservations on 8/1/24 for dinner for a party of 3 around 8pm. Ambiance: Elegant, clean, medium noise level, pleasant, smart casual or formal attire welcome. Full bar available. Dinner: Cioppino seafood stew (2), Shrimp papardelle Alfredo, Eggplant parmesan in pomodoro sauce. The Cioppino was very delicious and my favorite dish among all our orders. The eggplant parmesan is also a winner in my book. I was not impressed with the papardelle Alfredo as it was lacking flavor and the noodles were soggy and overcooked. They replaced it with a Cioppino and I was pleased with this. Service: The host manager and our main server were attentive and delivered fast service. They conversed with my party and shared good laughs. Overall, I will be back as this by far, is the best Italian restaurant I've ever liked. Highly recommended! read more

Marinelli's Authentic Italian Cuisine is located in the M Resort Las Vegas. First of all we always come to the M's to gamble and maybe catch a bite, but this trip we stay a night. Maybe it's just me, but it felt different staying at the hotel. We could leasurely walking around check out the different restaurant's and menus. Marinelli's had a lovely menu and being from Hawai'i, casual dress attire. We did make reservations, but there was plentiful seating and surprisingly counter seating at the bar. They also have a good wine menu to choose from. I ordered the Osso Buco and my wife the steak. The Osso Buco and risotto was done perfectly, that marrow.. Love.. I got to try a piece of the steak with chimichurri sauce, very tender and flavorful. Service was on point, we were not in any rush and it was a great relaxing dinner. read more

I had a great experience at Marinelli's. I ordered the prime rib and paired it with a wonderful glass of Pinot Noir, but my night took a turn when one of the servers (his name was Ranghbun and had a pin with a 15 on it) kept accosting the bartender. The bartender was working with a sense of urgency and making the drinks in a timely manner, but the server was being extremely rude and disrespectful. It came to a point where he was sniffing the wine when the bartender had opened the bottle not long ago. I saw multiple negative interactions where the bartender was polite and working with a sense of urgency while the server kept telling him to go faster and that he needs his drinks first (even though there was obviously a line of tickets. While I understand the guest experience is important for seated guests, the experience at the bar should be just as important. Ryan and Joanna (bartenders) were fantastic and apologized for the awkward interaction. Do better Ranghbun. Hospitality should extend to your coworkers as well as your guests (especially after 15 years). read more

Food, ambience - excellent! Service? Terrible... Got seated and our waitress was not the friendliest person right off the bat, but it's all good. She asked for our drinks and they came out right away. Thought this would be a great breakfast with my Wife and Daughter. Waitress helps another table with a party that showed up after us. Takes their drink and food order straight away. I make eye contact with her, but she still helps others. After waiting for some time, I finally throw up my hands. She must've seen my frustration, because she literally flew to our table and took our food order. By then, I shut down completely and had no interest in engaging with this waitress. I gave her my order, using as few words as possible. Our food was prepped and brought out by the runner in great time. He even apologized for the wait! She came by a couple times and asked if we needed anything. Again, if I didn't say anything, it was a one word answer. But, I mostly shook or nodded my head. Even with the food being delicious, I couldn't wait to get out of there. I won't share her name, but I'm sure she'll know it was her when this review is shared with the morning staff. I'll never come back again - and I know I'm just a regular guest, but my money folds the same and has the same value as a more important person. Young lady, this is the profession you chose. If you want to treat some better than others, maybe consider doing something else. read more

A 2 star rating is generous for this place. Ambience is a -0 rating. Each table had different lighting, some tables had spot lights, some had no lights and ours had a strange red light (reference pics). All tables are near the sports bar, so it was loud. Our server was nonexistent. He came by once and never tended to us at all. The food was 2/10. We got the burrata salad and they cut the tomato and cheese in four pieces. Isn't this place supposed to be upscale? It looks like a butcher made it Osso buco was stupid bland and the risoto was basically warm potato salad. I honestly don't know how this place is still in business. They need serious help. The only things worth getting was the basic pasta and their cocktails (just don't expect your server to come by for a refill) read more

Beyond disappointing... Don't waste your time or money on this place. Although it appears to be a fine dining establishment, it is far from that. The service was not stellar, but not bad until I had to send my food back. The cioppino was disgusting. The seafood was not fresh and the dish was inedible, not to mention it was not cioppino... The server It was not attentive, but when he did come back, I told him I could not eat the food. He took it back and a chef came out and asked why I sent my dish back. I told him it was not good and he took his apron off, and storms back to the kitchen with no other questions or comments. From that point forward the service was terrible and negligent. The server's assistant that tried to clear the table dropped the plates that crashed everywhere beside me. Our server came to pick up the signed receipts while we were still sitting there, and we never saw him again. This is a management issue... There are far too many great places to dine in Las Vegas. Don't waste your time here. read more

HORRIBLE!!! Made a reservation for a business dinner for Fri night. First of all when we walked into the restaurant, it took about five minutes for somebody to finally greet us. We're not even greeted with a hello, but do you guys have reservations? We were then seated at a table. Waiter was good and attentive. We ordered cocktails and an appetizer of arancini. When the appetizer came out, the arancini was cold on the inside. We notified the waiter he took it back and offered something else. We just said we'd wait for our dinner I ordered the chopped salad and my guest ordered branzino w a side of pasta. The pasta came out cold to the touch. My salad was a joke. So basic, looked unappetizing. We thought we were being punked. The poor waiter was so embarrassed when we told him and took the food back. By that time we were done! We ended up leaving the waiter told us they comped our drinks. Never once did the chef or management come to our table to see what was wrong or to apologize or even talk to us. What a joke! Will never be back here again. Food is disgusting! Chef and management should be embarrassed. read more

First time trying this place out and the food was very good. The amount of staff that helped out and provided excellent service was also noted, as compared to other restaurants that do less.

We went to this restaurant for my husband's 40th birthday and decided to try something new as we have never been there. I got the chicken piccata and had high hopes on it, however, the chicken was very bland and unseasoned. I was not able to taste the lemon butter caper sauce as it needed a lot more. The noodles that came with it had a tomato sauce on it which I thought was very strange and it was only lukewarm warm. My sister had the fettuccine Alfredo and she said it was good and my aunt had the lasagna and she enjoyed it as well, but it was all lukewarm warm too. The restaurant itself had a warm and cozy feeling. It is next to a big window that faces toward the strip and partial sunset view. Our waiter was Jack and he was amazing. He was very attentive and nice. I give him 5 stars! read more
