    Spumoni sundae
    Vanessa G.

    This is my favorite Italian restaurant anytime I am here for vacation. The food is wonderful!! The ambiance is romantic and the service is always great. The rigatoni is phenomenal. The sauce is spectacular. The chicken parmesan is wonderful. I crave it all the time. The bread is also tasty as well as the meatballs. Anna and Yhomara were very professional and personable. I suggest making a reservation, as it can get busy! I also suggest the spumoni sundae. Yum!

    Seafood Fra Diavolo

    We went there just to try it out. We tried to beat the crowd, so it was 5 pm. Restaurant was empty and the hostess asked me for phone number. I was wondering why since we were going to be seated right away. I was told dinners walk out without paying after eating.... Food was surprisingly average. The seafood pasta sauce tasted like supper market bought. Linguine with the clam was so average that I can whip it up home. We also had fried calamari as starter. The portion was unexpected small.... The waiter was very slow to gave us check. During the meal the bus man kept filling water into our glasses as if he was trying to make up the waiter's slowness. Now I realized why they have dinners walking out without paying for the meal. Maybe they just simply ran out of patience. I am just saying.... Overall it was a bit of a disappointment.

    Our experience was wonderful! My daughter was craving lasagna and wow did they deliver - we all loved our food. The service was great and the manager Anna was so kind and welcoming. Also shoutout to our server, Phouvong, who was so attentive and checked in on us like he was checking in on family! We'll definitely be back.

    Entrance on Christmas Day
    Dennis T.

    As good as our experience was half a year ago, our Christmas Day dinner was the worst dining experience we have ever had on Christmas. It was so bad that it took about 20 minutes for me to receive an ordered Iced Tea at the outset of our meal; 45 minutes for me to receive my entree beyond the time of ordering it after my two starters were served; and after being at our table for over two hours Diane was never served her ordered entree at all! Twice our server came by to say that Diane's entree was on its way--when it clearly wasn't. Finally, she had had enough, and sought out a manager. This is after we saw all diners at two tables near ours get served their entrees even though they were seated about 30 minutes after we had been. Rather than being aggravated any further, Diane said she no longer wanted the missing entree, and asked for the bill. After waiting and waiting, she had lost her appetite. The bill was quickly delivered by our server, who now said the missing dish was ready. But, again, no food was displayed or produced to support this statement. Complimentary crusty Bread & soft Butter were very good. But this time both tentacles and rings of Calamari Fritti were too chewy, and the chef had too heavy a hand with pepper. Chopped Salad contained only a few strands of salami, and was too lemony tasting even though it was not advertised as having any lemon in it. My Veal Scallopini with artichokes was barely fork tender but generally good. But it was served to me with a skimpy side of Roasted Potatoes that I had ordered, and nothing on a plate for Diane. I asked about the missing entree of seafood in a cream sauce, and the food deliverer professed to know nothing about it but said he would check. Later our server claimed a computer error occurred that caused Diane's order to not reach the kitchen. This was highly suspect, since my entree ordered at the same time as hers in a single order was eventually cooked and served, and later the same server said somewhat inconsistently that the chef was resisting putting the sauce for Diane's ordered dish on the side as Diane had requested. Which was it? To add insult to injury, after I noted in my review covering the last time we were here that our server told us that the restaurant was out of Chocolate Cake that I had looked forward to, a manager responded in writing that this would be made up to us on our next visit. Instead, this time the restaurant did not simply run out of Chocolate Cake. Rather, we were informed that Chocolate Cake had been wholly discontinued, just like penne pasta and triangles of Fried Mozzarella. Whereas the kitchen had been very accommodating on our first visit, this time it was totally unaccommodating, and did not even cook Diane's ordered entree. Thus, we will never dine here again! I rarely give one-star ratings. But this one was well deserved. On our way home from the restaurant I told Diane that I would take her anywhere she wished to eat. But by now it was after 9:00 p.m. and she was very resistant. Finally, she asked for an order of French Fries from McDonald's. So, I drove to one with Golden Arches nearby, and when Diane started eating the large order of Fries in the car, I convinced her to at least let me drive her to one of the few Blueberry Hill restaurants that was open this Christmas Day, for dessert. There she surprised me by adding a comforting Hot Chocolate to her cake order--somewhat fitting I thought for Christmas Day.

    Bread and butter

    Need a sit down dinner for some pasta, but casual enough for jeans or a date night? Pasta Cucina will be a good go to then! Usually you don't need a reservation as they have plenty of seating, but they can get busy during peak dinner hours or holidays. Even so, the wait time could be about 20 to 30 minutes. Which isn't bad. So if you do need to make sure you get a seat, then call to make a reservation. So far, everything I have had on their menu is consistently delicious. My favorite is the carbonara. Not made with cream! Thank goodness. Rich and hearty. The Alfredo is creamy and plenty. Dinner does come with a side of bread and butter and it's very fresh. Overall, worth trying once.

    You feel like you're outside & in Italy located in Suncoast hotel and casino across from the Galleria Mall. This Italian restaurant seems to be very popular as there was a lot of guests dining and a line when we first arrived, there was a 30 minute wait and if you can make a reservation I would. Our server said all pastas and pizzas are now homemade, and let me tell you, the pasta was delicious!! We definitely will be stopping by again for the delicious food and beautiful ambiance.

    NY strips and salmon
    Bibi B.

    We always have great food here. It's one of our favorites when in town. Food was very tasty. One little thing, today's Potatoes with the NY strips were over done and dry. The NY was delicious, the salmon and pasta were excellent! But our waitress KC was GREAT! She was fun and suggested the zucchini chips, telling us they were amazing and she was right! Thanks KC! You rock! And go Cowboys!

    I had linguine and clams. It was delicious.

    My family and friends came here for dinner. Food took a while to cook and get to us but was so worth it. Everything was delicious and staff were friendly.

    01.07.24 marks my third brunch service with Pasta Cucina. Brunch is offered every first Sunday of the month and today they debuted a new menu. Previously the menu had flatbread pizzas. Those have all been removed and replaced with pasta dishes. They've also added a tiramisu waffle dish (pictured) as well as a new breakfast sandwich. I mentioned in my previous review how Chef Jeremy allowed me to try the bacon jam last month which is the star of the new sandwich. I didn't try the sandwich this time around but I will next month. If you've never been to Pasta Cucina it's located in Sunset Station Casino. The restaurant is cozy with a moderate noise level. The restaurant is designed as if you're stirring in a beautiful courtyard with lemon trees all around. The staff is very attentive and always ready to offer suggestions. Each visit with Pasta Cucina I've been approached by the chef asking about my experience and it's lovely they take the feedback. While I personally didn't like new Tiramisu Waffle it's only because I don't like Tiramisu. The cocoa powder is a bit too bitter for my taste and I prefer a savory breakfast. This is why I usually stick with the tried and true short rib Benedict on each visit (even when ordering multiple entrees). The tiramisu waffle dish did have a very nice cream layer which softened the waffles nicely. I can see it being a real hit with other guests. I look forward to their next brunch service which should be on Sunday 02.04.24.

    How does the 8 for $8 work? I looked at the menu on the site and noticed all of the items are listed for $8. Do I pick 1 dish and get eight servings of it? And 1 drink, with 8 refills?

    There are 8 menu items on the list and each of them cost $8, hence the "8 for $8" special menu. No, you do not get 8 servings or refills. Would be nice, though...

    I truly have mixed feelings about this Domino's store…read more When they first opened, the food was great, the service was friendly, and the speed was fast. But over time, they have become one of the worst in the area. The pizzas never have enough cheese or an uneven spread. There are always spots where the cheese is completely missing. Toppings are few and far between, missing pizza sauce, and I've ordered extra toppings multiple times and have never actually received the extras I paid for. It has been a huge disappointment. I have literally been inside the store when employees were yelling and cursing at each other. I have also walked in and been completely ignored for 10 to 15 minutes. I have experienced pickup wait times upwards of two hours. It is truly a mixed bag here. You never know what you're going to get with each order. Lately, the quality of the pizzas seems to have improved slightly. I am not sure if this is due to a change in management, but I really hope they address the ongoing issues sooner than later. One last thing... The last time I was there, I witnessed an employee using the squeeze bottle that holds liquid butter, moving bread bites around inside a pizza box. He would squeeze butter onto them and then move them around using the bottom of the bottle that had been sitting on the counter. It was disgusting to watch, knowing someone would be eating that food and there was nothing I could do about it. He was also not wearing gloves. Everyone in the store touches that squeeze bottle, and it gets moved around all day. That was just gross and showed a lack of care about basic hygiene. As it stands right now, I cannot recommend this location. I may give them another chance in the future and update my review if things improve. Not recommended.

    Absolutely outstanding pizza and service! We stopped into…read moreWater Street Pizzeria in the heart of downtown Henderson and had one of the best pizza experiences we've had in the Henderson area. We ordered the Tuscany pizza, and it was phenomenal -- loaded with sausage, pepperoni, bacon, Canadian bacon, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, and olives. It's basically like a supreme pizza on steroids, but so much better. The flavors were perfectly balanced, the toppings were generous and high-quality, and every bite was incredibly satisfying. What really sets this place apart is the care they put into the fundamentals: they make their dough and sauce completely in-house, and they even order their sausage straight from Chicago. You can absolutely taste the difference -- it's fresh, authentic, and miles ahead of your typical chain pizza. The crust had that perfect chew and char that only comes from real craftsmanship. Huge shoutout to Linda for the amazing service! She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. Her warm personality and genuine care turned a simple dinner into a memorable experience. Places like this thrive because of people like her. If you're in the Water Street District and craving real-deal pizza with quality ingredients, do yourself a favor and come here. We'll definitely be back -- highly recommend the Tuscany and the whole team!

    Their pizza is delicious. Unfortunately they do not seem prepared to handle events that happen on…read morethe main street where they are located. We went to the Winterfest Electric Parade (this follows a couple other events that already took place prior!) on a Friday night and there were no street vendors present; which of course leads everyone to want to purchase food and drinks from the businesses that line the parade route. This could have been easily miscommunicated by the people in charge of the parade simply not communicating to the local businesses what would be involved. Or it could have been lack of planning for the business. I am not sure - but my perception was the latter. We ordered online for pickup, and the order was never accepted by the restaurant. There is an option to shut it down so that it does not take orders if a business is too inundated. My husband went inside to check in with them and he said they were turning people away and not taking orders at all. They had said about 45-1 hour for our wait time. Two hours later and our pizza was finally ready. My husband about an hour in went to sit inside to be visible in case something is missed... for an hour he sat at a table without issue, in fact we joined him about 30 min in. As soon as we get our pizza and I set it down on the table, the cashier tells us that it's for dine in customers only and asked us to leave. WOW! There was no line of customers waiting to dine in, and there were tables open since people were outside watching the parade. We had already been sitting at the table with our son for an hour and couldn't just decide to dine in at that point after such a long wait? So disappointing. We took our pizza and ate it on the brick wall right outside their front door...minutes later the parade Santa passed and it was over. No one else came to the restaurant to dine in. Our order was wrong. We ordered for a specific topping on the entire pizza and for half to be with an additional. The one topping for half was on the whole and the topping for the whole was on half. It was not even worth it to get it corrected, we ate it as is and our son picked off what he did not like. (no pictures taken because we just wanted to eat) We have been to Water Street Pizzeria before on a non-event night and had a different experience than this. I just feel if a company is unable to handle a crowd like this than maybe closing for the night would be better than longer waits and poor customer service. There are so many events that happen on Water St; so I truly hope this night it was just an internal break down in their operation and not a normal unlearned situation that happens regularly. But all of this will have us think twice about eating here next time we are in the area.

    My final review for 2025 is Slice 19!…read more What do we do on New Year's Eve? We talk about our plans and our New Year's resolutions, which is exactly what my friends and I did here over lunch. It's hard to believe that one minute, we're celebrating the entry of 2025, and the next year, we're about to ring in 2026. Time is going by incredibly fast these days and sometimes I can't keep up with it. Slice 19 is located in the guard gated Chimera Golf Club and you must show valid ID in order to get in, which is very easy and very quick. My future in-laws live in a guard gated community elsewhere in town so I already know how these work lol. They're very easy to find and you can walk in and take a seat right away. Their patio has such an amazing view of the golf course in all directions...if only if it wasn't chilly and cloudy outside. Although their big thing is pizza, I wanted something smaller and decided to go for their sliders, total of 3, with tater tots on the side. Other food items included were the cowboy burger (unbelievably huge with giant pieces of bacon inside!) and chicken wings with blue cheese. Some of my friends tried the Bloody Mary, which included a celery stick and an olive inside. For me, I just stuck with water. They also have a "beer tower" available, which is basically a beer on tap that they bring to your table. Great for large parties! This was my first time at the Chimera Golf Club and Slice 19 and it was worth it. The sliders were excellent and even though it was a small dish, I still had to bring the rest home with me. That's how easily full I get when I eat at restaurants.

    Food and service were great. We go to play Trivia On Tuesdays and it's always so much fun!read more
