Osteria Fiorella Review
Authentic Italian Excellence at Red Rock Resort
Osteria Fiorella brings a slice of Northern Italy to the Las Vegas dining scene with remarkable authenticity and sophistication. Helmed by acclaimed chef Marc Vetri, this restaurant offers a refined yet approachable take on classic Italian cuisine that stands out in a city known for its culinary extravagance.
Ambiance & Atmosphere
The restaurant features an elegant yet comfortable design with warm wood accents, soft lighting, and an open kitchen that creates a theatrical dining experience. The spacious dining room manages to feel both sophisticated and welcoming, with comfortable seating and thoughtful spacing between tables that allows for intimate conversations despite the bustling energy.
Culinary Excellence
The menu showcases Vetri's mastery of Italian techniques with highlights including the incredibly light and flavorful spinach gnocchi with brown butter, the perfectly cooked branzino with artichokes, and their signature dry-aged bistecca Fiorentina. The pasta program is particularly exceptional – all made in-house daily with textures and flavors that transport you straight to Italy.
Service & Hospitality
Service is knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. Staff members demonstrate genuine expertise about the menu and wine pairings, though during peak hours the pacing can occasionally feel rushed. The sommelier provides excellent recommendations from their extensive Italian wine list.
Value Consideration
While certainly not inexpensive, Osteria Fiorella delivers fair value for the quality of ingredients and execution. Entrees range from $28-$65, with pastas between $24-$38. The tasting menu at $95 per person offers excellent value for experiencing the kitchen's range.
Special Features
The restaurant's private dining room accommodates up to 20 guests beautifully for special occasions. Their weekend brunch service features unique Italian twists on classic brunch dishes that are worth the trip to Summerlin.
