Cipriani

I've had the opportunity to visit various Cipriani locations around the world, such as Dubai, Bahrain, Miami, and Los Angeles, and I find the food quite satisfactory for an Italian native. However, it could benefit from a little more flavor, and the atmosphere could feel less hurried. The ricotta gnocchi al Gorgonzola was enjoyable, as was the beet salad, although both would have been improved with a bit more salt, pepper, and authentic Gorgonzola.

As walk-ins, we were promptly seated at 9:30 pm. The restaurant boasts a pleasant atmosphere, and our waitress was attentive and efficient. However, service fell short towards the end of our meal, as we felt rushed due to the late hour, which is unexpected for a dining experience exceeding $100 per person. The margherita pizza was shared, and it was delightful—highly recommended. The tomato salad, on the other hand, was just average, with some of the tomatoes being overripe and unsuitable for serving. I tried the veal limone, which was tasty but sliced so thinly that it didn’t offer good value for the price. The eggplant Parmigiana, chosen as a main by others at the table, was by far the least impressive, lacking both tomato sauce and flavor, which was a significant letdown. On a positive note, the vanilla meringue cake was delicious. Overall, there were some hits and some misses. Given the price point, the experience fell short, and I wouldn’t recommend it, as there should be no compromises at this level.

Unfortunately, the restaurant was extremely busy, resulting in a 45-minute wait beyond our reservation time. While this was quite frustrating, our server managed to compensate for the apparent lack of planning on the management's part. The entire meal felt rushed. We shared an off-menu spaghetti with meat sauce that was unbelievably delicious! Highly recommend the cucumber, cherry tomato, fresh corn, and basil salad, and don't forget the limoncello! The white linen tablecloths, polished silverware, and waitstaff in white coats all contributed to a sense of perfection.

My group ordered a selection of drinks, a calamari and shrimp appetizer, octopus, and rigatoni bolognese. The overall experience was just okay. The calamari and octopus were overcooked, resulting in a very chewy texture. The rigatoni bolognese lacked flavor. All in all, the food was somewhat disappointing, but it serves as a convenient dining option for those attending the Encore Theater.

Our group tried a variety of dishes at Cipriani in Las Vegas, including drinks, calamari & shrimp appetizer, octopus, and rigatoni bolognese. Overall, the food was mediocre at best. The calamari and octopus were overcooked and chewy, while the pasta lacked flavor. Despite being a convenient option for those visiting the Encore Theater, the dining experience was somewhat disappointing.

While the food at Cipriani in Las Vegas was delicious, the service felt rushed during our visit. The waiters repeatedly tried to take our unfinished dishes, which was a bit frustrating. We encountered a problem when we tried to pay separately and found out that their system doesn't allow for separate checks. Although it wasn't a major issue, it was a bit awkward that they couldn't accommodate us or suggest an alternative solution. We ended up having to calculate our own bill manually. In comparison to other Cipriani locations, the service at this establishment was disappointing. While the food was good, the overall service experience makes it unlikely that we would return or recommend this restaurant.
