Food was gross. We got our order in five minutes and I think I know why. Pizza only had four pepperonis on it and looked like it was a frozen pizza. The fettuccine was awful. Basically spaghetti with canned Alfredo sauce on it and Parmesan cheese. They serve it to you in a black plastic bowl. This place has gone so downhill from previous years. Would not recommend at all. read more

Yikes. Came here and ordered a veggie primavera pizza slice, pepperoni slice and their just salad supposedly made with "fresh" greens. What a disappointment. I get served a week old looking container of brownish shredded iceburg lettuce with old mushy tomatoes and horrible tasting cucumbers. 6 dollars for this garbage. The veggie pizza wasn't bad but the pepperoni was burnt to a crisp. Also the girl at the register acted like she hated her life. Not coming here again. Pretty pricey for trailer park food. read more

I ordered chicken Alfredo and what I got was like frozen dinner. The children tasted like boiled chicken. My husband ordered meat lover but it was more like a card board pizza' Where is the meat'. Also, we bought a cup of fountain drink for $3.99 not even close to full and no refill. I used to love the old restaurant. Very very disappointed. Do not want eat there again! read more

What happened to this place?? It used to be delicious. We went on a semi busy day where the bottomless pasta day is available. Well we ordered that and let's just say it wasn't good... The bread that came with it isn't good either... We had a nice waitress but she had a whole side to herself with no help... She did her best and did a great job. The pasta sauce was just gross. They don't have their meat sauce anymore and it was hard to get through. The portions are tiny (which is fine since you can have more) but we asked if we could switch to Alfredo because the marinara sauce was just awful. The Alfredo was tolerable but it wasn't restaurant quality either. I like the stuff I get out of the jars at safeway better. They let us switch which was super nice. They must know the pasta sauce isn't good. I don't think we will be back. read more

Years ago, this was a terrific Italian restaurant with a wide-ranging menu of pizza, pasta, and outstanding Italian favorites that I can't spell, all at prices that reflected the quality and service. Sadly the only thing left are the prices. $9.99 for a six-inch meatball sub. Also $9.99 for an "Italian" salad--in a plastic tub, with a plastic packet of salad dressing and three 1-ounce plastic cups of grated cheese (that suspect came out of a green Kraft cardboard container), six or seven small slices of pepperoni, and some pickled assorted beans. Also $9.99, an "Italian beef dip" sub. Do you see a pattern? There is a selection of fountain drinks or bottled iced tea or beer. The beer selection is mostly light beers with one import--Corona, in an "Italian" place! Ok, I've dumped on this place pretty harshly. This reflects, I'm afraid, my sadness at what used to be. The rolls for our subs and the garlic knots were most-likely prepared onsite and quite good. The staff that we interacted with were welcoming, cheerful, and possibly the best part of our visit. Nice, nice folks! What used to be awesome table service--they even had a singing waiter for awhile, is now counter service. Place your order, find your table, and pick up your meal when they call your number. What used to be an amazing Italian restaurant is now a decent sandwich, pizza, pasta shop. Okay for a stop after a day on the lake or to start an evening in the casino, but I can't recommend it for a romantic meal. Hey, Caesar's, can you bring back the old Passagio? read more

The restaurant must be working hard, after so many negative reviews. We didn't have an issue at all. We had a party of 4, on a Saturday night, and were sat quickly at 7:20. The manager stated that our server was busy but would be with us shortly. That didn't take long at all. She was definitely hustling and seemed tired or slammed, but friendly and efficient, nonetheless. We ordered two small pizzas, eggplant parmesan and lasagna. The breadsticks are on point and the rest of the food was hot, delicious, and filling. I had a glass of Sangria, that was also enjoyable. The prices were fair for the quantity and quality. read more

Was very disappointed that the restaurant apparently doesn't close until 10 and I arrived at 9:15 to grab a quick bite and was told by staff with a snooty attitude that they were already closed. 1 Star on customer service, 1 star because staff just wanted to go home early. read more

Although I had dined here years ago, and the food was good, that was under previous management. So, when bidden by our Laughlin next door neighbors to dine here with them less than a month ago, we agreed. And I was pleasantly pleased at the results. Complimentary Garlic Breadsticks glistening with garlic butter were light, soft, and delicious--better than those served at other establishments which highly tout their breadsticks; and probably the best of this species of food that I have sampled to date. I opted to add an unlimited Soup & Salad Bar to my chosen entree of Sausage Puttanesca, which consisted of tapered lengths of soft Red & Green Peppers, Onions, Black Olives, tomatoes, and herbs tossed with spaghetti, and turned out to be a great though somewhat unusual treat. The Salad Bar was not notably distinguished but contained enough ingredients to offer up a very credible and satisfying salad with choices of several dressings. But the Italian Wedding Soup that came with it was tasty oily broth punctuated by numerous small meatballs and long shreds of spinach. A good-looking homemade Minestrone Soup was also available, and my dinner was kicked up a notch with a starter of splendid Crab-stuffed Mushrooms which were very large, cheesy, and topped by numerous granules of crisp bacon. This was a very filling and satisfying meal. Service was very good, and seating comfortable in an informal setting. 4-1/2 stars overall! read more

We haven't been here in a long time but when we use to stay at the casino before Trop we loved eating here. We will for sure try it again if we are craving Italian food. This was a great place for pasta. We always enjoyed it. They do get busy and use to have a wait list many nights for dinner. Not sure if they do anymore but it would be a good idea to call to see if need reservations. We are not a fan of prepared chain Italian restaurants so we prefer to eat at a place like this. Hopefully they haven't changed much since we were here but by reading some of the reviews you would be afraid to try it but I always say you have to judge a place yourself. We usually always give places more than one shot to see if it is any good.Some places have off nights sometimes. Try this place for yourself. read more

We knew Passiagos when they waited on you, had a salad bar, garlic bread included, good food and reasonable prices in a nice atmosphere. If you expect this now you will be highly disappointed as we were. Now there is no garlic bread unless you pay $7 for it, side salads that are chopped up iceberg with packet dressing that you pay for (no more salad bar, ever again they said), no more bottomless pasta bowl (btw the fettuccine was the most plain we have ever had)... very disappointed. The atmosphere has been ruined and feels like a cafeteria with no waiters or waitresses. We love Tropicana but won't EVER, EVER eat here again. One employee of the casino walked up to us while we were eating and when we gave our opinion (they asked) their response was, well the changes are results of COVID and we are a "to go" place now. We were also told the limit of one bowl of pasta (like I mentioned, no more bottomless) was "to help watch portions for some of us"... how rude, even if he thought it was a joke. It's just bland food and not worth it. Save your time and money. I usually don't write bad reviews but this was worthy of it. read more

I love the all you can eat pasta bar and the $9 carafe of wine that serves about four full glasses. Jared was our server and he was so nice and helpful. The service & smile that Jared provided pushed the rating from a 4-star to 5 for our family. We will be back. Hopefully Jared is working :-) read more

I will start by saying this - we got here about 830pm and our hostess took awhile to seat us (8-10 min) This is the worst part of my visit there. My expectations were very low considering past experiences with other places I have eaten at in Laughlin. Plus, it was kind of late when we arrived and it was close to closing. We were seated and immediately greeted by Mike (our server). He took our drink order and answered some random questions for us. When we asked him what he recommended - he didn't recommend the most expensive thing on the menu. He was very thorough on explaining everything on the menu. Mike also told us a couple of items he has tried were kind of dry once or twice when he ordered them, but still suggested them. We actually ordered one of the items he said was dry and it was perfect. Absolutely amazing! Everything we ordered was superb - the breadsticks we all agreed were much much better then Olive Garden. I highly suggest that everyone try this next time you are in the area. The Manicotti is very DELIGHTFUL! read more

Great food and service! I've eaten at Passaggio's twice and both times I've enjoyed it. The prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly. The first time I had all you can eat spaghetti. It was good and reasonably priced at $9.50. The second time, We had a party of 7 on the Fourth of July and we were quickly seated. I ordered the soup and salad and sampled the pizzas that my friends ordered. It was all delicious. Our waiter, Casey, was charming and very accommodating. One of my friends is vegan and she was happy with her pizza too. Also, we ordered shots and they were HUGE! I will go again. read more

The staff were all friendly and accommodating. The all you can eat pasta bowl combo is amazing. It was $11 or $12 for unlimited bread sticks, unlimited salad and soup bar and unlimited pasta. The only downside was it was an extra $1 to change the type of pasta. Still a great deal. Also $9 wine carafes- that was about 4 glasses! The ambience is nice-although everyone walking by can gawk at you eating because of the open concept of the restaurant. Overall this is a good, affordable place to eat. read more

Passaggio Italian Gardens - #FoodHigh - Italian Near Me - Laughlin, Nevada

Don't think you are getting Italian food here. Not traditional. It's changed a lot!!! Way more expensive. 18.99 for pasta and it only comes with one breadstick now! It used to be bottomless breadsticks. Now it's bottomless nothing. Menu is limited, no more vodka sauce and a lot of other items removed. Don't waste your money. Mary is rude rude rude!!!! Actually no one is friendly here or in this casino. The rules are a joke. They also give you packet cheese. Trash for food and service. read more

Picked up Italian beef dip sandwich, it was yummy. I would have given it a 4 but last time I brought on the bottom it black/burned. I didn't really say anything about it than diabetic and I just didn't eat that part of bread. The sandwich I picked up right before closing was perfectly made and very very good. *Went back yesterday ordered two of the Italian beef dip sandwiches. While one waitress was taking my order the one that waited on me the night before said something about me being back. I said how good it was the night before and it was made just right. I did mention about my first one being black on the bottom. I had a longer wait than my last two visits finally I asked a woman in plain clothes behind my counter did I miss by number being called, shortly I was given my food no courtesy later had to go because I requested items on the side let the waitress know the bottom of the sandwich was burnt again read more

Passaggio Italian Gardens - Italian beef dip/ I have more pictures of burnt around top and edges - Italian Near Me - Laughlin, Nevada

This is in the Tropicana Hotel. The restaurant is casual and good for groups. I rate for food quality but I consider the price you are paying too. It has a basic salad bar and 2 soups. The salad part is average. Both the minestrone soup and the italian wedding soup were excellent. Several people had the unlimited pasta bowl and salad bar combo. For $10.99 it was a tremendous value. I tried two of the pastas and they were good. Service was good. We had a group of 10 and it worked well. The price was great for what you got and the food was good. read more

New ownership has changed recipes. Not for the better. Salad bar has very little options. Granddaughter got food poisoning from eating minestrone soup. Only good think about this place is the server Cara! She gets five stars. This place has a hard time even seating you. read more

I have recommended this place for years. Last weekend we made our annual trip to Laughlin and on my birthday I chose to eat here as it has always been my favorite restaurant in town. The pasta used to be so good. I have always gotten the pasta bowl with arrabiata sauce and added cooked mushrooms and garlic to it. I was told they no longer will add my mushrooms even after I offered to pay. They told me I could grab some off the salad bar. As if I want cold uncooked mushrooms in my pasta. The sauce was watery and pretty bland. They skimp on the breadsticks as well. This was not worth my time, money, or birthday dinner of choice. Unfortunately we wont be back. My son got sick and the rest of my family was unimpressed. I can no longer recommend read more

We have been coming here every summer for the past 7 years or so, but I don't think we will be coming back. The food has always been good, but the past couple of years we have noticed that they skimp on the sauce. Then this year we see that they don't include meat sauce on the all you can eat pasta bowl any more. And if you want extra bread sticks, it will cost you $4.50(ish) for 2. I could understand $4.50 for a basket, but for 2 small breadsticks it is ridiculous. We spent over$120 on dinner for six, and it was meh. read more

Cara was our server and she was amazing. The food was hot and delicious. We got the bottomless pasta and the fried dough dessert(cant remember the name) but it comes with a raspberry sauce and it was soooooooo good. read more

I love this place! The food is great, you can't beat the Bottomless Pasta Bowl for value, you also get the soup and salad bar and breadsticks. Service is always prompt and friendly even on Mondays when they are super busy with players getting the pasta bowl for free. read more

With every takeover there is change and it's usually in the company's best interests, not the consumer. We are local and dined here often. Last night was a bit of a shocker. The unlimited pasta bowl no longer offers bolognese as a sauce. It has been replaced with marinara. Also, this is the only meal where you can get soup and salad included. Any other entree is only served with two breadsticks. If you want to add soup and salad it will cost $6.50. No, that's not a typo. Spaghetti with bolognese is offered but for 12.50. Still good but so disappointed. read more

We couldn't believe the awful experience from beginning to end. We waited in line for 25 mins to be seated, as expected for a late dinner.. As we go seated, we were told the had no more pizza. Ok, on to plan "B". They took 25mins more to acknowledge we were waiting for a drink order. I had to wave a waitress down, she said, "I'll call your waitress." We'll, she didn't come til 20 mins more! She seemed baffled and hyped, sketchy, as if on drugs. We ordered asap, since we were starving by this time. Our order took forever to get to us. We chose endless pasta, soup, salad, for $11.99. I went to salad and soup bar and it was disappointing and disgusting to see there was wilted salad, no veggies to add into it. All soups were water, everything was leftovers of the day! So, here comes our pasta bowls finally! All we get is stale pasta and watered down fettuccine! I asked to get another choice ASAP. It to forever. Second order was wrong pasta. Hubby asked for a second order of his bowl, they had run out, so he settled for another choice. Waitress actually felt bad and offered a discount. So, when our bill came, it showed no discount. I called manager GINO was very rude and confrontational to me when I told him our experience. GINO blamed us for dining late, and blamed waitress for promising discount. GINO hovered over me and was too close and pointed his finger down to me with hostile voice. GINO said we shouldnt have eaten our food! Well, I told GINO, you should have disclosed we were going to be eating leftovers of the day! As far as I'm concerned, all restaurants should cook and serve til closing time. Were were there 1 1/2 prior to closing. No reason for this treatment! I told GINO I was going to share this entire experience on yelp, and he yelled, "Go Ahead!" And kept rambling off as I paid my bill and walked out of restaurant! Poor management and customer service! GINO, not once tried to sympathize with our experience! He was on offense mode the entire time. My Son and hubby were shocked! I could also see other diners of their disappointed look of long wait times and crappy food. I told Gino, they should have disclosed they were running out of food and were were gonna eat grubby leftovers before seating us! read more

It was not just that the food was bad it was the manager that said it is what it us and walked away. Weve been going there since it was the Ramada Exoress. It was always a go to place and now to have the horrible food and the manager not caring at all was very disappointing. We will never go back. read more

The food was great and our server was awesome. Will definitely go back again. Was my honeys birthday and they made him feel special. read more

First time we've eaten here and it won't be our last. What a nice little surprise to get delicious and reasonable Italian food in Laughlin. Taylor was our server and she was friendly and attentive and overall very pleasant. The salad bar was very good . Not a ton of choices but what they did have was fresh and very tasty. The Italian wedding soup was very good. I'm Italian and it's right up there with my Mom's. We also had the eggplant and wow .. super good also . The pasta and red sauce that came with was all cooked to perfection. My BF and I both enjoyed our meal very much . I'm giving 4 stars since the ambience is lacking . It would be nice if it was a cute little Italian looking place but it just looks like a diner . Blah ! It's a must try though. You won't be disappointed. read more

Only reason I'm giving two stars is because the waiter was attentive & the portions were reasonable. The food was a poor excuse for Italian food. Sauce on our pasta was tasteless. I had the Baked Penne and it reminded me of a Stouffer's microwave meal. Other diner with me had the Classic Spaghetti & Meatballs and was unimpressed with the meal. Spent a few days in Laughlin & this was the worst meal for the entire trip. read more

1 STAR FOR THE HOSTESSES VANESSA &MICHAELA 5 STARS FOR OUR SERVER AND FOOD ! kay first off make a reservation if you dont want to hear The Hostess 'Michaela' being as Rude as can be to you and YOUR family !Then not far behind her was the other Hostess ' Vanessa ' being just as rude ! Not only was she rude but selective to who had to wait an HOUR and who was Let RIGHT IN ! After complaining to the Manager she tried to play dumb to her boss ! Once we were finally seated ( across the restaurant from the rest of our party) our waitress , Robin, was the sweetest lady and was amazing ! Also the busboy Jason was the coolest guy dont be shy to talk to him . Then once we order, our food was amazing ! Watch our for these rude people 'Michaela & Vanessa'! read more

Make reservations, because if you don't the hostesses Michaela & Vanessa will be extremely rude to you and your family. Both young ladies are extremely unprofessional, and lack customer services. Michaela seems to be a bit selective on which guest she seats first. Keep in mind, if Micaela is working the guest list, then you will not be seated accordingly to when you arrived or for that matter may not be seated at all. Michaela and Vanessa, where telling guest, including my family that the was no availability for us to eat, yet the place was empty. She also sat a family with several young children in two separate tables, which where on complete opposite sides of the restaurant. Luckily for us, the manager from the steakhouse, stepped in and basically accommodated us, the family that was separated, and the guest waiting in line. Once we were seated the service and the food was amazing. We had an amazing waitress by the name of Robin and a bus boy by the name of Jasan. Both these individual made our dinner worth the drama we endured prior to being seated. I highly recommend that these two girls, Micheala and Vanessa attend some type of customer service trianing or hostess training. If they do not, results are that these two will definitely bring down the clientele and give Passagioreviews that are not equivalent to their waiters nor the food. Good luck & watch out for these two. read more

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place when I got a craving for Italian while in Arizona...what are the odds, right? A few Google searches later and we were headed to Passaggio's. Remember this place is inside a casino, but it's the quintessential little, seemingly family ran, Italian place complete with carafes of wine, red and white checkered table covers and garlic bread baskets service with seating. While the soup and salad bar is a miss...you really don't want to fill up on a mediocre buffet...the bottomless pasta bowl was FABULOUS!! We asked the server if we could mix and match...she chuckled and told us that we could, but she didn't anticipate we'd be ordering a second bowl. I got the penne with basil cream sauce...I wanted to dive in and swim around in the creamy calorie laden goodness. My boyfriend ordered angel hair with bolognese sauce and was equally as pleased. The pasta to sauce ratio was spot on and the portions were out of control. Coupled with outstanding pasta the service was the best we'd received anywhere for a very long time. We both commented on it as we were leaving the restaurant. read more

Didn't want Italian Food but we needed something to hold us over until 9:30pm for our dinner reservation at The Steakhouse. We had friends who went and got hot dogs. We planned to all sit together her and we were going to order a pizza. Rude hostess says, "well you can't bring those hot dogs in here!" We left. I will not spend another dime here at The Tropicana in Laughlin NV. Ready to go home and skip dinner tonight! read more

This restaurant was absolutely fabulous! I'm writing this review to acknowledge the restaurant's server, Jona! He was so attentive and very kind! He was also great at keeping conversation and continuously checking up on his guests. He made my family's dinner such a pleasure and we are so happy we ate here because of him! Thank you so much for the great service, Jona! The next time we come to Laughlin we will eat here again. The pizza and salad was also phenomenal. read more

Awesome food and terrific service. Wish they were open for lunch (subtract 1 star). Jared was our server and he was so nice.

As much as I love staying at the hotel in have to say the food here at the passaggio was not good at all, the ravioli and manicotti tasted like they where over cooked. They forgot my daughters order which was plain noodles and that took 15 mins to get. The drinks we ordered took 20 mins to get and hey never offered and water for out wait or any refills. Both mine and my husbands order came with bread stick that we never got with our meals. We had to flag our waiter down 3 times to get his attention. Needless to say I will never come back here again nor recommend anyone to come here. read more
