The Bootlegger Bistro - Las Vegas

Wow! This Italian bistro was extremely good. Service was very quick and enjoyed the ambience and Christmas decor. Ordered lasagna after some appetizers and it was out of this world. If you’re interested in a good Italian restaurant this is your stop.

What a fabulous find!!! OMG this place is amazing. It's such a beautiful restaurant also.. and it's huge. They have live music almost every night (check the website out) starting around 630pm. We had an early dinner and the server was amazing, out of this world. He was perfect! We had dirty martini's they were amazing, and a glass of Malbec, also great. They do serve bread and it was so good. It's like small pieces of garlic bread (soft and warm) served with their homemade marinara that you can purchase. We also had calamari and it was so tender, perfectly fried, some of the best I've ever had. My husband had some type of chicken with mushrooms and a side of fettucine alfredo. I had carbonara with chicken. The chicken on both dishes were cooked to perfection. I mean grilled perfectly.. not overcooked which most places seem to do nowadays. It was so juicy, so tender, and so flavorful. I cook chicken a LOT so I have high standards. They gave you so much sauce w/ the pasta which is something I love... I hate how these upscale restaurants give you tiny portions no sauce and the price is 3x higher than here.. so I will give this place a LOT of my business especially when all of our friends/family visit. I mean everything was just perfect. I cannot wait to go back and try everything on the menu. And this place has been around forever, and now I know why!!

Outstanding service as always upon visiting this charming restaurant. We were treated as celebrities tending to our every need, from keeping our water glasses full and ensuring our food was to our liking. Thank you, Charlie, for your outstanding service. My husband had the Pappardelle Bollognese, pasta cooked perfectly and packed full of flavor. I ordered the Spinach Fettuccine. The pasta was perfectly cooked, with the veggies slightly a little more aldente than I prefer, yet still delicious in flavor. I ordered my favorite decadent in-house Tiramisu dessert and my husband, the chocolate Gelato. Both were richly satisfying! This establishment is unmistakably a favorite of many locals and tourists alike. Make reservations, and if you're fortunate enough to be their for the musicians, you won't be disappointed.

Finally had the chance to dine at The Bootlegger Italian Bistro in Las Vegas.This place has a rich history that dates back to the early 1900s, when the grandparents of Chef Maria Perry migrated from Italy to Canada and became known as The Bootlegger for serving homemade wine during the prohibition era. Chef Maria and her husband Al Perry moved to Las Vegas in 1943 and opened their first restaurant in 1949, serving the legends of Hollywood and Las Vegas such as Howard Hughes, Frank Sinatra, Liberace, Elvis Presley and many others. Their daughter Lorraine, a singer and entertainer, joined them in 1972 to build The Bootlegger on her land at Tropicana and Eastern. Today, four generations of this dedicated Italian family continue the legacy of providing the finest food, drink, hospitality and entertainment to their guests.The service was impeccable. Our server was smooooth, absolutely loved him he was friendly, attentive and witty. He recommended some of the best dishes on the menu, such as the Burrata.He also brought us some of the panetti italiana (garlic bread) with dipping sauce, so delicious. He made sure that our drinks were always refilled and that we had everything we needed.The food was delicious. Everything was fresh, flavorful and cooked to perfection. The portions were generous and satisfying.For dessert, we had the chocolate cake which was heavenly.The Bootlegger Italian Bistro is a historic Las Vegas landmark that offers a great dining experience. The atmosphere is cozy and elegant, with photos of celebrities and memorabilia on the walls. The live music is entertaining and lively. The prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves authentic Italian cuisine and wants to enjoy a taste of old Vegas.

Came here for my husbands birthday we really enjoyed coming here. The only bad part was we were next to the bar and some people were being overly loud but besides that our experience was okay food was amazing the waitress was kind. I had a steak it was amazing the flavor of everything was just so divine.Food: 5/5
