There is something faintly surreal about eating a perfectly respectable Italian meal while the…read moreworld rushes past you carrying trays of noodles and hamburgers and cheesesteaks. This is the central joke of the The Wine Bar and Italian Kitchen, which sits like a well dressed guest who has wandered into the wrong party and decided to stay anyway. It lives inside The Food Hall at The Borgata, elevated just enough to suggest importance, but not quite enough to escape the gravitational pull of the surrounding chaos. The ambiance is odd. Not necessarily bad mind you, just...existential. You sip wine while someone nearby debates chicken tenders. It keeps you humble. And yet, the food. The food is very good. Complimentary bread arrived with olive oils and olives, which felt like a small act of kindness in a noisy universe. My wife and I began with a meatball appetizer special, a wise decision that rewarded us immediately. Six petite, tender and rich meatballs, the kind that makes you briefly forgive the invention of fast casual dining. I had the lasagna, layered and comforting, like a well organized memory. She had the chicken parmigiana, which achieved that rare balance of crisp and tender, as if someone in the kitchen still actually cared about cause and effect. Both dishes were executed with confidence, the kind that suggests this kitchen knows exactly what it is doing, even if the room around it is having an identity crisis. The wine was not bad. Not transcendent, not life altering, but entirely capable of doing its job, which is to make you slightly more agreeable to everything. Service was also very good. Attentive without hovering, present without becoming a character in the story. Four stars, because the food and service deserve applause, but the setting feels like dining inside a thought that has not quite been finished. Still, if you find yourself at The Borgata and hungry for an Italian meal that rises above its surroundings, this is a very good place to sit, eat, and wonder how you got there.

But it can get crowded. They offered bread with olive oil and olives. We ordered a sangria which was very sweet. They filled our water glasses but didn't check on it for the rest of the night. We ordered lamb chop and ossobuco. The lamb chop was seared perfectly and medium rare. The potatoes were well seasoned and crispy. I liked the broccoli rabe too. The ossobuco was tender and the bone marrow was buttery. The risotto was ok but I didn't like the texture. The sangria was sweet. Overall the food was good.

When we walked in and sat down the server came up to us and immediately told us that we cannot purchase any liquor. She stated "oh I didn't expect that you guys were staying" rudely. We explained we weren't looking to buy liquor and she gave us a menu. After we asked about the mixed drinks on the menu she stated that she will not be able to make any mixed drinks and that she does not do any "fancy drinks" in a condescending tone. We kindly state okay we will leave. As we were leaving someone asked why we're leaving and the server stated "because We don't make Bahama mamams" rudely. It felt as if it is a cliquey environment that is not welcoming to outsiders or tourist. Wouldn't recommend going if you're outside of their clique.

The whole set up is confusing. You have to wait to get seated, but then you have to go order your drinks and your food separately a la fast food restaurant vibe. And when I say drinks and food separately, I mean, order food in one line and go to a separate line to order wine. No opportunity to have a taste before you commit to a glass if you want to try several different whites or several different reds you have to order a flight.

Leashed and friendly dogs are welcome at the seasonal outdoor patio. Since it is a popular spot, we recommend calling ahead to check on seating. Baker's Wine Café is named after Baker the dog, honoring the owner's pup and setting the tone for just how much love they have for their four-legged visitors. Owners Tatum & Mark create a warm, educational, and enjoyable experience, helping you find the perfect wine to enjoy by the glass or bottle. Flights are also available if you want to sample a variety. Woodshed Pizza serves up incredible Neapolitan-style pies, known for their soft, airy crust and simple, fresh ingredients baked to perfection. They also offer vegan and gluten-free options, and their meatballs and generously portioned salads have a fan base of their own. Because honestly...nothing beats wine and pizza.

The space itself is massive, and beautifully and intentionally designed. It's on the top floor of the hotel with a really stunning interior. We had a 9:00 PM reservation on a Saturday night. I highly recommend making a reservation in advance because this place was insanely crowded. Despite how busy it was, we were seated promptly right at the time of our reservation. The food and drinks were outstanding across the board. The steak was cooked perfectly and the Patatas Bravas were a favorite of mine. The cocktails and mocktails were excellent--the house Negroni was one of the best I've had. One thing worth noting: this is definitely a lively and loud space. Great for groups, celebrations, or an upbeat dinner night, but maybe not the best choice if you're looking for a quiet or intimate evening. Lastly, the staff were all incredibly warm, kind, quick, and hospitable. Even with how packed the restaurant was, service didn't feel chaotic or inattentive. Overall, a really wonderful experience and somewhere I will absolutely return to!

This restaurant is located on the top of the Cambria hotel. I heard it was popular, but even with a reservation we had to wait over 25 minutes to be sat at our table. And our table was a high top right in the bar area which was a little disappointing. It was up against a window that I'm sure would have given us an amazing view but it was already so dark outside. The interior of the restaurant was also extremely dim. Because of where we were sat it was extremely loud and I felt a little stuffed into the seat since there was a party of 5 directly behind me sitting. The menu is expansive. We obviously celebrated with a bottle of wine and our server Nina (I think that was her name) was very attentive and always made sure our glasses were filled. The bread was delicious and we decided on a couple tapas. It was hard to eat just because the table was tiny. The food was beautifully presented and came out staggered which was nice. The steak was great, the calamari was very standard. And the crab fritters tasted like a lot of filler.. our favorite was the mushroom and scallop risotto. I'm not a scallop girl but the risotto was cooked beautifully and had such a savory unique buttery flavor that I'm still thinking about! I'd come here again but 10000% please make a reservation!! The ambiance is vibey and the food was pretty good. Be prepared to spend some $$ here!
