Buddy V's Ristorante

We were in Vegas to see the Eagles at the Sphere (which was an indescribable, wonderful experience)and we chose Buddy V's because we were craving calamari! It was excellent. Tender, just the right amount of seasoned breading!We sat at the bar, and were graciously taken care of by Tasla! She was engaging and mixed great cocktails. Ask her about her son. I think he is going to be a future MLB player! We will be back for the food and Tasla's excellent service!

Came In for a birthday dinner for my partner . I made a reservation we arrived a little early and asked to be seated we were told there was no spots The hostess said there was no spots available but proceed to seat another couple walk in that came in after 15 minutes after us which annoyed me. We were seated at reservation. Our server was attentive and nice he gave us some suggestions . But unfortunately the food wasn't to my liking . The portions were small for the price point and the flavors didn't hit for me . The drinks were weak . It's a beautiful spot but unfortunately the food didnt stand up to par with my liking . I wouldn't return .

This meal was by far the best we had during 4 days in Vegas looking for great food. Even more impressive than the food was the customer service by ALL the employees! We were here on Valentine's Day (slammed) and I've never seen a happier, more cohesive team. The open kitchen had 8 visible chefs all communicating. We had 5 different staff involved in our table service, all smiling and delightful. I could see staff (at least 30) and they all interacted in an upbeat way, while working as fast as possible. This all showed in the wonderful food!I had the Caesar salad to start. Wonderful. Then on to the Salmon, seasoned to perfection, with the artichoke and green bean and garbanzo salad, unusual but so tasty. For dessert I tried Nonna's Cake as it was a specialty. Oh my! An olive oil cake baked in cast iron, with a melted sugar glaze, topped with vanilla gelato and berries. Heavenly! Finished out the evening with a delightful cappuccino served with a rock sugar stick. Whole experience was amazing!!!

Located inside The Venetian. Food was good but not amazing. This is a full service sit down restaurant. We made a reservation at 6pm for a party of 4 on a Friday night and was seated swiftly. Calamari Fritti - a bit greasy. Batter on the outside was light and crispy. Grandma's Meatball - juicy and tender. Filling, definitely meant for sharing. Steamed Clams - average, not much to it. Traditional Tiramisu - wasn't the worst I've had but wasn't great. Didn't seem to have set enough, layer of lady finger was still a bit stiff but moist. Prosciutto & Arugula Pizza - pizza dough was fluffy with a slight chew. Pizza crust and bottom had just the right amount of crisp. Topping had perfect balance of savory with a hint of sweetness. Carbonara - creamy but missing a bit of depth. We added chicken, it was a bit dry.Short Rib Pappardelle - served with 1.5 inch wide pappardelle pasta. Pasta shape didn't soak up much of the sauce/flavor. Short Rib was good but bit dry. Ricotta was dolloped on top. Lobster Arrabbiata -menu has it as a spicy marinara, but it was creamy. Pretty good.

Amazing experience from the moment we walked in. Had a reservation on a Friday night & was seated immediately in a beautiful booth near the bar. From the hostesses, to our amazing server and buss boy, each person we encountered during our meal was so pleasant. Our food was incredible. Caesar salad had the most amazing polenta croutons. Both pasta meals had incredible flavor and a good amount of protein. We took our tiramisu to go because we were stuffed and that was also amazing, even the next day. 1000/10 recommend. Will definitely come back next time we're in Vegas!

I had this restaurant bookmarked for years and finally tried it. It's tucked away, and what made it more memorable is that we had a beautiful window view of the strip. Prices are affordable, and the service was awesome. Food:Complimentary BreadAnniversary Dessert Calamari Fritti16 oz Rib Eye Steak Bucatini Carbonara Buddy's CapreseThe calamari was the highlight. It has got to be one of the most tender calamari I've ever had. Good flavor and the right texture. Everything else was delicious. The least favorite was the Rib Eye. Although it was tender, I feel it lacked flavor despite having the Chimichurri sauce. Overall, this is a great spot located in the Venetian Hotel. I would highly recommend it.

I went here for a Sunday dinner and it was pretty packed. I am not sure if they even honor reservations as we made reservations but still had to wait 15 minutes to get seated, despite many open tables. I guess they make you wait so they create hype for the restaurant.This restaurant leans more Americanized Italian, with huge portion sizes and the typical spaghetti and pizza. We were only persuaded to go here as it is one of the few more affordable restaurants in the Venetian resort that we could use our Amex $100 credit on, and we were able to use it all by just ordering 1 prie fixe (appetizer+entree+dessert), 1 pizza, and 1 wine, so moderately priced but not cheap either.For prie fixe, we got grandma's meatballs, chicken parm, and cannoli. The prie fixe menu comes at portions much smaller than if you were to order a la carte, but it kind of makes sense because ordering it separately would cost a bit more. Portions are about 50% less for appetizer and dessert, but looks about similar portion for main entree. Grandma's meatballs were pretty solid, didn't taste anything special, but it was a good starter. Chicken parm was hearty and comes with a decent pile of spaghetti. Cannoli was a bit on the sweeter side and felt a little stale.We also got the Buddy's Favorite Pizza that was on the spicier side (I am glad they gave a heads up), and a bit oily. They skimped a bit on ingredients, something that I would not expect if the pizza is already $22. I would prefer more ingredients and less oil, as we tapped out eating just half the pizza out of it being too heavy.Service is fairly poor, something I would not expect for an American-like restaurant. Not once did they come by to refill our water, but they fulfill our glass of wine order quickly. Flagging the server, no luck. Overall, this is a decent restaurant, but it falls short to a typical dinner I am expecting to get for a place of this caliber.

Very amazing I would recommend going here for any anniversaries or birthdays or events like parties or whatever but yes overall food is so bomb. The service is fast and reliable very efficient

Always eat at Buddy's when in Vegas! Lunch, dinner or for any special occasion! Service is always good and the food is to die for!

T! Made my visit very enjoyable. Asking a bartender to recommend a drink not on the drink menu and come up with a gem is a great experience! Buddy? Get it together and add the 'Miscalculation' to the drink menu, it's a MUST!
