The ambiance is casual for Bellagio, think family restaurant, bring the kids, the family, the neighbors. The pizza - not what we expected for all the hype of it being the 'best pizza place' in Bellagio. First off, by no means do they do half a pie with 1 order & the other half with another - so either order 2 pizzas or opt for 1 to share. We did their basic pizza, not really all that memorable. The salad was fresh. In short, not great, not horrible & yet not memorable either. Try it out for yourself. Did not take pics, think pizza.

For me, the quaint dinner atmosphere would have been helped greatly if AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and Ozzy Osbourne weren't blasting. "Highway to Hell" ruined the charm of the setting.

Bruschetta was under whelming but that was ok. Really sweet of them to move us to a shaded table once they noticed I was sitting in an area that was directly under the sun.

I did appreciate the ice bucket for our Coke Zeros and Water! The one thing that surprised us was the verbal ask for a tip. I asked for the check and when he brought it back he said tips are not included in their pricing and how much would I like to add to the total? This is the first time we have had that request since being in Italy. I cannot stand the USA Tipping culture and have appreciated the change in Europe. I do hope this was isolated. To be fair, the service was good but not over the top compared to other dining experiences on this trip.
