Good fine dining experience. The service is professional and the food is above average and great ingredients, just slightly lack of true Italian passion.
I always walk pass this restaurant when walking through restaurant row in the MGM Grand so gave it a shot.There was no wait time and the service was great. The food on the other hand could have been better for the price. I ordered an aged ribeye which was decent but the lobster that came with the dish had no flavor at all leaving me disappointed. The calamari and zucchini appetizer is what I enjoyed the most. After all, there’s not many ways to mess up fried calamari or at least I hope not besides burning.Great service and ambiance is good for any restaurant but it should be the food that stands out above all. Give this place a try if you really want but you might just find something better among the restaurants surrounding Trattoria.Visit date 4/5/2014
This is an upscale, modern MGM Italian restaurant with a large wine list & fireside lounge. A very cozy ambiance with a romantic flare. Their menu selections include fresh pastas, Maine Lobster Gnocchi and many other favorites. We ordered the Chicken and Salmon which were wonderful. If you are interested just to have a cocktail, the fireside intimate lounge is a perfect place to do it.
Undoubtedly having walked by Fiamma Trattoria & Bar at least one hundred times, from early trips to Frozen Fury at The Grand Garden Arena to the current days as a resident of Las Vegas, it was not until Hemant Kishore began speaking fondly of fellow CIA Graduate Pawan Pinisetti that a reservation was finally made to eat within MGMs New York Italian import, the days of Michael White long past but the experience so exquisite that it seems hard to believe that the local media does not speak of the restaurant more.A truly massive space, the lounge alone as large as the walls that house former Chef Carlos Buscaglia at Due Forni, Fiamma has seen its fair share of talent in the kitchen and carrying on a tradition that includes the likes of Michael Laplaca the current cooking under Chef Pinisetti embraces an upscale contemporary approach equally courting tourists as it does fine dining enthusiasts, the decision to let the Chef cook Carte Blanche strongly recommended provided the time and finances available.High ceilinged but softened by curved walls, candles and fabric chandeliers, it was just after 6:00pm that two of us were seated at a four-top just inside the Casino facing front section, and greeted by several smiling faces including Pawan and Sommelier Caleb Anderson a few questions of preferences were discussed, a basket of Focaccia and Epi Baguette served with Tomato-Basil Butter that is simply too good to consider avoiding.Opting for small pours of wine to compliment courses, a total of perhaps 8oz in four styles with special notice to the Barbaresco served via Coravin and second Ben Rye in as many weeks, course one saw a quartet of antipasti served family-style, and although a personal preference for both Caprese and Prosciutto must be noted it was actually the tender Octopus beneath a rich char that quickly stole the spotlight, briny olives finding their foil in Tomatoes and Red Peppers much like the razor-thin Beef Carpaccio had richness balanced by the flavors of bright citrus and Worcestershire drizzled atop a Fennel and Celery Hearts salad.Not one to take shortcuts Chef Pinisetti explaining that everything from bread to fruit compotes and Bleu Cheese Mousse are made in-house Pastas follow a similar route, and with daily innovations joining classic handmade noodles the signature Raviolini reaches iconic status by offering delicate pockets stuffed with Short Rib braised in Red Wine beneath Black Truffle cream while claws and knuckles of Lobster dance alongside pillow-soft potato dumplings each so light that only mushrooms and sauce seem to prevent them from floating off the plate.Offering up an amalgam of flavors as big as the room in which it is served by way of a daily special featuring fresh Spaghetti given the Carbonara treatment with Morels, Summer Truffles plus Pancetta and Pea Tendrils it was here that Fiamma truly decided to bring the noise with a total of four entrees, the Crispy Skinned Branzino and Shelfish Stew both textbook in their execution while the Short Rib and Braised Pork Shank were entirely on par with any other version experienced in Sin City thus far. More affordable than other Italian Fine Dining establishments in town, the pastas a particular bargain when accounting for portions and products entailed, Fiamma further ups the stakes with a dessert menu that not only outnumbers but out-styles the likes of Ferraros, Allegro or even Portofino, everything from simple Italian Donuts to the Amarena Cherry Black Forest Cake beautifully presented while the Limoncello Espuma and makeshift Crme Brle are as delicious as they are texturally brilliant and thrilling to explore.FIVE STARS: Denied everyman plates like Fettuccini Alfredo and Meatballs, though they too are available and something I should like to investigate in the future given the quality of everything we were served, Fiamma Trattoria & Bar is another of those spaces that locals, trends and Public Relations have seemingly forgotten, a poignant reminder of the quality of Las Vegas dining scene and Chefs like Pawan Pinisetti who deserve to be discussed instead of the absentee Celebrities with names above the door. endoedibles.com
The best choice for dinner at the MGM Grand. Over the last few years we’ve eaten at all of the restaurants at the hotel and this is consistently the most enjoyable. Great favors, great service. The Atlantic salmon is wonderful.
Went here for dinner with my partner’s family. The wine was excellent. The food was quite good. I like Italian food where authentic flavors are primarily used with a flare. This I think didn’t hit that mark.
Best in Vegas by far Mike’s…. Best in Vegas by farMike’s service was amazing and delivered on a special request not on the menu. We dined twice the food was so good
