I had an awesome experience at Giada’s restaurant at The Cromwell. I am celiac and they have so many wonderful gluten free options to choose from. The server was very nice and answered all of my questions. We started with the bacon wrapped dates, which were incredible. I had the signature lemon pasta dish with gluten free pasta. Definitely the best gluten free pasta I’ve ever had. And we ended the meal by sharing the Nutella cheesecake. I don’t even have the words to describe how delicious that was. I can’t recommend Gaida’s restaurant highly enough. Will certainly be going back.

What a gem and we always visit at least twice during our 5 day visits to Las Vegas. We love the food selections, especially Linguini and clams and Steak Pizziola. An all inclusive meal, with garlic bread, soup or salad, and wine is such a special treat, especially in Las Vegas where everything is ala carte. Our server, Giovanni was a jewel and made our latest visits (we requested him also on our 2nd night). He made our evenings very special. Can't wait for our next visit.

Fantastic experiences and delicious food. We ordered the shrimp appetizer special- 6 large fresh prawns grilled then served on steaming hot rocks with salsa verde and melted butter sauces. A bottle of wine-wide selection from myriad Italian regions. Chicken cacciatore and pasta dishes. Did the Amaro tasting with the delightful sommelier. Pricey but then everywhere in Vegas worth its weight is. Recommend!
