We went here because it has a higher rating and we were able to get a Groupon deal. But we won't come again.When we were seated, the hostess passed an empty booth and put us at a table in the middle. We asked if we could have the booth and she was visibly annoyed with our request.The server barely came to our table. She was too focused on one table. I had to ask the manager for refills on drinks. The manager never refilled them. Never checked on our food. We received our bread after appetizers and after our entrees arrived. Waited 20 mins for our server to come by so we could order our dessert. She never came so we asked for the bill and left.Their prices are way too high for mediocre Italian. There are so many delicious Italian restaurants in the valley. My chicken Angelo was $22. The chicken was tough, the sauce was off. My husband's lasagna was ok. No complaints about it, but it also wasn't amazing for the price.Several of these reviews on here are clearly employees or ai just to boost ratings.It's a small Italian restaurant in a very small casino.

I couldn't get a same day reservation at Azzurra Cocina so we decided to try here. The reviews on Yelp were really good. The only thing I can guess is anyone who wrote a 5 star review has never eaten good Italian food. I wanted to like it and believe that the old El Dorado Casino has been upgraded since it's now The Pass Casino, but, sadly, it's not. Not much has changed at all. It is small and quiet, which was a plus, and our waitress was on top of things, so that's where the 2 stars comes from. The bruschetta was very tasty, except the bread was soaked, actually dripping, with oil. There was a puddle of oil under the bruschetta. The baked ziti was flavorless and served in a cast iron dish which imparted a metallic taste to the food. The sauce was lacking seasoning, the sausage was so mild as to be tasteless and I have no idea what was in the meatball it was so bland. My wife had the chicken marsala. With the exception of the cast iron dish, the comments are about the same; bland and flavorless. We won't be going back and I do not recommend eating there.

Ristorante Italiano is a fabulous, friendly, Italian Restaurant. From the time you enter until you are ready to leave you feel welcomed. A great selection of food and wine. The food is favoloso. You are never rushed. The service and servers are so friendly and attentive. Check out this wonderful gem in Henderson, you'll be happy you did.
Difficult to get in because of construction and there were no signs to direct diners. We meandered through a smoky casino getting directions from a casino attendant. We had a 6:30 reservation along with several others. We're seated at 7 pm. After that we experienced a great dinner, drinks, and service!

This place is underrated. Absolutely delicious food. I've been here a couple times and I can strongly recommend the baked ziti and the fettuccine Alfredo is soooo good. Let me tell you I have had chicken fettuccine Alfredo at 100 places in this town and this ranks up there with the best of them. Definitely a must try if you near the area.

The steak I had was extremely hard to chew. I'm going to bring it home for my dog's. My wife's fettuccine alfredo was overcooked and the sauce was terrible, but the waiters are great, good people but they will not ask how was your meal was because they know.

We have been here's few times before last night. Last night everything was great except the spagetthie /marinara sauce seemed a little off in flavor. We heard a rumor that the management was recently changed so maybe the cook/chef was changed too. Hopefully the sauce will be better next time.

The service was a little bit slow because of a new person, but she had numerous tables and didn't have answers for some things shevhad tobask about. But she was nice and when moving very fast. Food was great, especially for the prices, the blackberry, ricotta cheesecake is a killer.

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and the service. Everything was cooked correctly, great quality & the presentation/plating was on point. Julian was our server & was very attentive & conscientious about our overall experience. It's honestly one of the best experiences I have had while dining out in a while.

The staff was fantastic and super friendly. Chris was our waiter and would go back to see him for the excellent service. There was a lady working the front on Christmas, don't remember her name, but she was great too.

Sad that Johnny wasn't there. Prayers to you and yours our friend. We always enjoy ourselves, miss the filet, medallions sufficed, salmon was really good, we'll be back. Happy Christmas ?

The chicken Alfredo was so good. I couldn't stop eating it and the service was excellent as usual. I've tried something different every time and it's always delicious. We will definitely return again.

The service was excellent! Our waiter was so on point! He asked us every step of the way if we were ready for our next course! He never rushed us or made us feel uncomfortable if we chose to wait. He is amazing! The food was fantastic! The antipasto salad was great! The braised short rib dinner was tender and full of flavor! The pistachio crushed chicken and gnocchi in creamy pesto sauce is also a must try! We have never had a bad dinner or service from here! It's a great place! We love it!
