Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Sunset Station

Food and service was good. Small plates are pricier than they should be. Entree prices are average.

As my wife and I have been doing for the last 7 years, we had our first night dinner in Vegas at Carmines. Again, they did not disappoint. Started out with a 9 ounce glass of Pinot Grigio along with a basket of fresh bread. Had Carmines scrumptious baked clams and then fabulous veal parmigiana. Will be coming back in January and you better believe our first nights dinner will be at Carmines. Maybe our last nights dinner as well.

Great food and outstanding service. Worth making the effort to find the Hole in the Wall

Simply lovely experience from beginning to end. I ordered the four course Anniversary menu plus the wine pairing and every bite was outstanding. The crab arrancini was delicious, but the crab wasn't pronounced. The lemon spaghetti was divine. This has been one of Giada's signature dishes and it shows. Bronzino was also exceptional with the roasted fennel and tomato's playing nicely with a perfectly cooked fish. Tiramisu was equally great! The service was impeccable from beginning to end. With great attention to detail, appropriate suggestions, and a good sense of humor. Watch out for the pepper grinder! It is a weapon. Value and atmosphere also quite good for what you expect in Vegas. The location is amazing -- it can be a little loud with the honking of street traffic (exacerbated by Formula One tear down).

Fantastic experiences and delicious food. We ordered the shrimp appetizer special- 6 large fresh prawns grilled then served on steaming hot rocks with salsa verde and melted butter sauces. A bottle of wine-wide selection from myriad Italian regions. Chicken cacciatore and pasta dishes. Did the Amaro tasting with the delightful sommelier. Pricey but then everywhere in Vegas worth its weight is. Recommend!
