Pasta Mia West - Las Vegas

This Italian restaurant is hands down my favorite in the world. It has a traditional Italian vibe with no flashy decorations. It feels like a mix of grandma's cooking and old-school Vegas mobster style. I've been dining here for over a decade and the lasagne is consistently delicious, always melting in my mouth. I always look forward to bringing someone here for the first time because I know they will not be disappointed. These guys consistently deliver amazing food and service.

I always take my friends and family to Pasta Mía. I have been going there for over 20 years and hope to continue for another 20.

I got there and my business partner was sitting already, I walked to the booth and waiter came in, didn’t great me or ask if I’d like something to drink, I ordered an iced tea, he came back with the iced tea and I had to ask him for a lemon for my tea, looked at the menu and when ordering I guess he didn’t understand what I was ordering or didn’t hear me so he asked me “ what do you want??” In a loud and rude manner , Hmmm, I know this is not a fine dining place but come on, our food came and he asked if we wanted any more bread and we said yes, bread never came and neither the waiter to check on the food or to see if we needed anything else, won’t be returning.

The restaurant's operations were a complete disaster. Despite having a reservation for 7:45, we waited until 8:06 to be seated while walk-in guests were seated before us. The management is terrible and the staff need more experience. We ultimately decided not to have dinner.

We made reservations for Valentine’s Day dinner at 7pm knowing everywhere would be busy. We were seated in a timely fashion as we were ten minutes early, and the hostess was very friendly and attentive. However, we were seated at a small table that was in a hallway like area, next to a desert cooler. It was awkward, and not very comfortable. Our server was nice, but slow. Granted, we understand how busy the restaurant was, but they were slow and not very attentive. The calamari was overdone, and not very good. The house salad was meh, but we both liked the complimentary garlic bread, and our entrees were very tasty. I’d say the prices are pretty fair for the food you receive, but I’m not sure I’d go back again. Took around 45 minutes for two entrees, again I know it was a busy night, but a restaurant that’s been around this long should be prepared. With all the choices in this town, there’s plenty of better places to go. We also thought it was very odd that the specials were written on a chalk board that the servers had to lug around to each table, instead of just having a separate printed list/menu. I mean, c’mon, you’ve been around for twenty years at this location. You know it’s Valentine’s Day. Spend a little bit of money to be better prepared.
