Toscana Ristorante & Bar

Our final evening in LV before driving over to LA after a week of wedding and F1 bliss during late Nov ‘24, we found this joint in the hotel casino we had been staying in – Park MGM. Wow, we wished we had found this hideaway earlier in our stay as it would have been frequented more than the once. No booking no problem. We were seated at the very impressive bar with beautifully appropriate and comfortable luxurious seats surrounding us in the action of specialty cocktails, award-winning Italian wines available via Coravin and a venue obviously celebrating the authentic regional cuisine and rich experience of the Tuscan countryside. You can always evaluate these places initially on their ‘homemade pane’ and the focaccia with rosemary was a great bread starter to kick things off while appreciating the atmosphere. With the bride loving her Italian cuisine, I knew we had to experience above average fare onwards from this solid base and her generic sounding ravioli filled with spinach and ricotta blanketed in Fianagricola tomato sauce and basil did not disappoint. Neither did my beef rib main which was inspired by the Tuscan stew Peposo alla Fornacina being served up with a description offering mixed greens, which essentially were the leaves on top as a garnish. To that end though, the meat was braised to fork tender melting brilliance in the simple yet classico rich and flavourful chianti, pepper, garlic and herb broth which also comforted the bovine over the Yukon spud mash. Five stars are hard to award, if ever, but this immersive restaurant off the gaming floor in the Eataly area is a standout and very much deserving. We will be back when next in LV!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Toscana Ristorante. We especially enjoyed sitting on the counter stools in front of the wood fired grills. It's a little warm but it's amazing to watch their grill master work his magic. Scott truly is a master griller. His skills are quite impressive. We ordered the Fiorentina, a classic Tuscan cut 42 oz Porterhouse steak. It was wood-fire grilled and cooked to perfection. We enjoyed every bite. It was served with yukon gold mash potatoes and gravy. We ordered a side of broccolini. Our meal was to die for. For dessert we had the house gelato. Our waiter Thomas provided excellent customer service, his recommendations were on point and he went above and beyond to make our visit a memorable one. This was our second visit. We look forward to many more future visits. Thank you Scott and Thomas for a wonderful evening. We will be back.

I truly thought this was well rounded. I noticed people saying the food was over priced "we are in vegas". You get what you pay for. The food was excellent and fresh. Their cocktails were flavorful and unique.

What a great Italian meal. Service was excellent, food was great, the espresso martini was perfect, not like the pre-mixed version they're serving in Eataly outside the restaurant at the bar. the atmosphere is cozy and I love being able to see the wood-fired oven. We had the zucchini cheese focaccia bread, the green salad with avocado, the gnocchi, and I had the branzino. Wow! Everything tasted so fresh and delicious and was perfectly cooked. The salad was very fresh and yummy, the bread was everything you want in a focaccia, and I' not sure I've ever had real gnocchi before after tasting this one! It was so light and it melted in your mouth. The branzino was cooked just perfectly and seasoned so well - it didn't need a thing. I highly recommend this lovely restaurant as well as the Park MGM. A great experience.

Amazing steak over an actual wood burning fire! Nowhere in the strip will you get anything like that - that's a 3 inch thick steak porterhouse in the pics. The lobster fettuccine packs more lobster than most lobster rolls. The staff is very friendly, both the bartender, server, and the man behind the open flame grill.

Made reservations a day in advance. Was seated as soon as we arrived. Ordered a fresh mozzarella and prosciutto appetizer with small homemade rolls. The rolls seemed fried. All very good. I had the 8oz filet with grilled artichoke hearts, and my wife had the salmon with asparagus. My steak was perfectly cooked medium. I gave my wife the artichokes. And I ate her asparagus. The salmon was great with a crispy side, not sure if it's the skin or just the top of the salmon. Most of the time, I don't like salmon. This time, it was amazing.

Absolutely awesome. Came for a quick dinner before a show. Grilled Octopus was tender and grilled perfectly. Carpacio was fresh and seasoned perfectly... And the star of the show was the 42oz Porterhouse. Grilled over open fire and finished table side. Highly recommend this hidden gem. Go! Eat! Indulge!

We were a bit skeptical dining here because of the 4.0 rating but it was delicious! The beef short rib was perfect. It can be a bit smokey inside because of the wood fire grill...my eyes were already very dry and itchy from the desert air.
