Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in The Lakes

Amazing food and helpful staff! Our waitress provided good recommendations that confirmed my prior research on the dishes we wanted to try. Highlights: smoked hamachi, green tartare, bravas potatoes, truffle cavatelli with bone marrow, and pistachio tiramisu. Cocktails were also on point!

Great experience! We were seated overlooking Flamingo and the Strip where we caught some of the Bellagio water show during our meal. We ordered a red Sangria and Giada-Rita to start things off (and ordered another Sangria before we were done). We shared the Meatball/Orzo appetizer which was very tasty, and then two pasta dishes (a lemon/zucchini with shrimp, and a cannelloni with short ribs) - both were excellent! We enjoyed our time at Giada and will return in future.

Took my wife here for Valentine’s Day dinner. This is a  quaint little gem hidden in downtown Summerlin. The restaurant itself is a little small with small tables but more than makes up for it with food quality and service. Their pastas are fresh and you can taste the hand crafted sauces. Highly recommend the starter of the meatballs and the rigatoni.

I cannot rave about this precious gem of a restaurant enough. The absolute charm, the utter excellence makes this one of my favorite places to dine in Las Vegas. Chef Gina is a master at her craft and each table has the delight of a view of her doing her thing. The mushroom pasta, the meatballs, the waygu carpaccio, the pesto pizza, uh just perfection. The cocktails are also seamlessly in harmony with the menu, simply delicious. Whether you're with friends or on a romantic date (I've experienced both), you're almost guaranteed to have a memorable experience. Thank you La Strega for being so close to where I live too lol, so that I may have that steak any time I need it again, cause I'll be dreaming of that chimichurri. ❤️

We went for Valentine's dinner. The restaurant was pretty full at 5:00pm. We were seated at a small two person table which is not my favorite and not very romantic. The staff was very friendly and efficient. It was bit loud, so sometimes it was hard to hear across the table. The food came out quickly and was excellent.
