Fresco Italiano

Commuted the last minute dessert to celebrate my husband's birthday and fresco Italiano really came in clutch! We were staying at the hotel itself and came to the restaurant just maybe 10 minutes before they were supposed to close. Barriers were already put so guests could not come in but we the walked up to the bar and requested a pistachio tiramisu and they gave it to go. Tiramisu itself was really soft and creamy and delicious. Just the perfect balance of the mascarpone and the coffee and the pistachio. I was actually surprised how well the flavors went together. It was also the perfect level of sweetness (neither too sweet from the sugar not too bitter from the coffee).They even delivered on the the decorations even though we ordered it to go. Quite a big potion size as well by the way!

As we were in town for the Barry Manilow concert for my wife's birthday gift, we decided to get dinner at a restaurant at the Westgate. When we heard that Fresco had rave reviews, it seemed a no brainer.Not sure if it was the rush due to the concert or everything else, but it was a bit disappointing. Certain members of the staff were very friendly but looked a bit harried. If it were only about them, this score would be higher. It took a bit to get seated even though we had reservations. Again, the staff looked a bit harried. When we were seated, we were provided the wine list promptly and provided some wonderful house bread.We were feeling a bit under the weather, not sick, just tired so we decided to not over order. We ordered the calamari, and the rigatoni bolognese and spaghetti pomodoro for the meal. The calamari left a bit to be desired. The sauces they were served with seemed good, but the calamari were all small pieces and felt like more batter and peppers than actual calamari. The pastas were wonderful. The pomodoro sauce was quite good. The meatball it was served with was excellent. The ragu for the rigatoni was very good and I really enjoyed that dish. Would definitely order againThe staff did apologize about the wait and said that they were going to be pretty empty once the concert started. Makes me want to try this one more time when they aren't as rushed.

This place has completely lost its edge.I used to come here regardless of whether I was anywhere near the Westgate, but after tonight it's out of the rotation.The service was congenial. Great. Without an understanding of hospitality or an inability to internalize direct language, it's just poor service with a smile. I don't want to badger the servers, though, because they're good folks who are being completely mis-managed as though they're still at Wendy's. Jump to the food. They've redone the menu, removing classics (like the butternut squash ravioli) in some weird effort to "see what works," which makes no sense because for years this place worked very nicely. Anyway, I order the pasta pomodoro and a glass of wine. After about 6 minutes the wine arrives (really? Wine is always an emergency) and then 30 seconds later the pasta shows up. The pasta is overcooked; the pomodoro sauce is lukewarm and watery.I spent the next few minutes trying to understand how pasta that hit the table in 6.5 minutes could be cold and mushy. My conclusion? This place has gone in the toilet.But the evening wouldn't be a total loss because I could still get those amazing bombolone at the end of the night, right? Nope. Scratched from the now-plastic, easy-to-clean and never-to-change menu.Used to be a really nice place. Don't bother.

Delicious food. Our server Angelo took great care of us. I made a reservation on Open Table indicating it was my bday. It seemed like the whole restaurant was made aware. I received lots of well wishes from staff. We did have to wait about 10 min though. The Ricotta Gnocchi was SOOOOOO good and filling. My husband had Alfredo and added chicken, mushrooms, and chicken. He really enjoyed it and couldn't finish it. I was given a complementary slice of ricotta cheesecake. Nice touch. The slices are $12. Yummy. Beautiful decor. Low lighting. Casual dress. There are steps to walk in to the restaurant. Highly recommend for good Italian food. Family friendly, but entrees average $20.

After a work meeting, we headed to Fresco Italiano at the Westgate Hotel and Casino, and I'm so glad we did! I ordered the Linguine and Clams, and it was amazing. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was flavorful with just the right amount of garlic and herbs. Despite arriving 30 minutes before closing, the staff welcomed us warmly and didn't rush us at all, allowing us to enjoy our meal in a relaxed atmosphere. It's not always easy to find a place that combines great food with excellent service, but Fresco Italiano nailed it. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

An updated review, but I'm still on the same star rating as one year ago when I ate here. The ambiance is nice - there's tables in the bar are and there's a more traditional dining area with an open kitchen. We sat in a booth and it took a while to have a server come greet us. So, we had time to look at the menu. When she did finally come we ordered beverages. Our friend had a question on the available beer because the restaurant is very dim lighted for ambiance and the writing is quite small on the menu which he could not see. Upon asking the server, she immediately said, "Well you can read it on the menu." This was an immediate turn off because we understand there's a menu, but perhaps the writing is small and with the lighting the person cannot see it. She could have asked if the person preferred a light beer or a {insert type} of beer which would help her narrow down a suggestion. After ordering beverages, the beer NEVER COMES. On top of that, servers with tables all around us are immediately served bread from their server, yet we did not receive any. When our server finally comes around, she has bread, but then we ask where the beer is and she says, "Oh! Let me go get it."At our table, we had Lasagna, Rigatoni Bolognese, and Linguine Clams. The lasagna was just OK - the server raved that it would come out bubbly hot, but it was warm, but not bubbly. It is a large portion though. The Rigatoni Bolognese was pretty good - again, nice portion and it's what you would expect in a good dish. The Linguine Clams has a nice lemony flavor and a little spice kick. There are quite a few clams in the dish and overall good. The sauce isn't quite the brothy kind you might come to expect, it's got a little creaminess to it.All in all - the food was alright, but the start to the server and then the server never coming back mid-entree to check if all was good is a knock on the service aspect of the dining experience.

Stopped by after watching a show at Westgate Hotel. I've passed by this restaurant many times, and I'm glad we were able to dine here. I didn't realize that it's pretty good in size. We sat in a booth along the wall. Service was good and attentive. Food:Meat Lasagna Bruschetta and Burrata BoardThe lasagna had a good flavor and was very cheesy. The bruschetta was equally delicious, and I loved the creamy burrata. Great spot, and I'll return again.

We had a great experience at Fresco Italiano on Saturday! We had a reservation at 5pm and were seated almost immediately. We had a good, attentive server who made sure we were well taken care of. The restaurant and its decor is pretty, but the food is AMAZING.They gave us delicious focaccia bread with olive oil dip which was SO good! We ordered the bruschetta which was "deconstructed" so you could put together your own pieces with the tomatoes and burrata. For my entree I got the mushroom fettuccine - it was rich and creamy with humongous mushrooms. My parents had the chicken Parmesan which was a really huge chicken breast. They really enjoyed it! I ended the meal with an affogato (which is honestly big enough for two people).We really enjoyed our meal and we will be back!

Service was utterly horrible. To be the supposed #1 Italian restaurant in Las Vegas, well the standards are pretty low. The misticanza salad was so drenched in dressing for me it was inedible. Rigatoni bolognese was goodVeal scallopini was cold and presentation was blech Wine pour was minimal

I was craving Italian and this placed delivered. Their slogan is "99% Italian .. 100% would be Italy" (or something like that), and it's definitely true.Lasagna piece came baked fresh in its own mini cast-iron skillet; packed with meat, sauce, cheese, and homemade noodles. Per Husband: The only negative was the cheese had a hint of "Magnum marker" smell, but it didn't taste weird or anything - so maybe just the type of cheese used??I had Fettuccine Alfredo, plain. The sauce was delicious! Perfect blend of spices and garlic. Of course the noodles were homemade!The bruschetta was very different. I was expecting all the things on top of toasted bread; it came with everything like a charcuterie board: halved tomatoes with basil leave and vinaigrette drizzle, cheese, strawberry jam-ish l ... OH. MY. GOODNESS. I know it sounds like a very crazy combo, but I tried everything spread on a piece of the bread and it was almost Heaven! If we had a coffee pot in the room, it would have been something I ate for breakfast or snack. It was DELIGHTFUL!Their table bread was super soft on the inside and lightly crunchy on the outside but was fresh out the oven. HOW?! The oil and pesto dip could have used a little more garlic and pesto, but that's just my opinion. It was DELICIOUS still!My only negative: the water is definitely not filtered. But I put some lemon drops in my cup and it was manageable. Short story: GO EAT HERE!
