Piero's Italian Cuisine

"It was absolutely wonderful. From the time you walk in, until you walk out, you're in a wonderful place. Our waiter, Johnny, shared great stories, and was very attentive to what we wanted. The food was delicious...the "Trash Caesar" is a must have! Whatever you order, it will be delicious."

"A very enjoyable experience. This is where the 1995 movie Casino was filmed. The food was delicious- I think my favorite was the GARBAGE CAESAR with shrimp and avocado. Our waiter, Mika, was very attentive and made sure we lacked nothing. We sat on Tarkanian Way- which was perfect since I knew Jerry Tarkanian. The restaurant is VERY dark- which was perfect for a romantic dinner and not for reading a menu. The parking is all valet."

"Piero’s is one of those local Vegas secrets that always delivers. Love popping in here after a long day at the conferences. Dark, great vibe, amazing service, solid food. The veal shank ossobucco is a signature, a must try! Sorry for the sparse photos, somehow I always forget to get good pictures at this place. But it is worth a try, a nice little stop in Vegas."

"We (3) were in town (from Hawaii) to attend the Still Raining (Jung Ji-hoon) concert at the MGM, so we made a reservation at Piero’s Italian Cuisine at the corner of Paradise and Convention Center Drive. It was the first visit for us to this Vegas landmark. The restaurant reminded me of old school, traditional Italian / Steak House with no windows and very subdued lighting, the kind of place for a romantic rendezvous. My experience in ordering a bottle of wine was problematic as three of my selections were unavailable. The wine book at Piero’s is extensive and I was pleased to see a wide selection of French Burgundies … Well, they weren’t in stock. I then moved onto an American Pinot Noir and was dismayed to find that was unavailable. If it weren’t for another wait person who said he saw that bottle (Kistler Reserve, $150), I might still be there trying to select a bottle. I think the restaurant should have an insert in the wine book indicating what is out, so the customer doesn’t get frustrated when selecting a wine. I suppose I should have selected an Italian wine, but I didn’t see anything compelling. Perhaps a sommelier, if Piero’s has one, could have facilitated my search for an appropriate wine. Bread and butter were brought to the table but interestingly, it was taken away before we were served our main course. Entrees come with a pretty large salad, so we split the Hamachi Crudo special ($29) and ordered Linguine Pomodoro ($29), Orecchiette with Prosciutto and Peas ($42) and Osso Bucco ($62) and two sides, Broccolini ($15) and Grilled Asparagus ($15). The linguini looked fine, and the orecchiette was delicious. My osso bucco came with a large serving of pasta which I had them box up. The veal was tender and the sauce was flavorful; we had no issues with any of our entrees. The broccolini was a disappointment; it was not seasoned or dressed sufficiently; it was just a mound of broccoli to us. We had no issues with the grilled asparagus. I must say the portions are large so come with a hearty appetite. We had Tiramisu ($15) and Profiteroles ($15) for dessert; I convinced a tablemate to have one of the profiteroles because three was too large an order for me. I paired my share of the profiteroles with a cup of (okay) coffee ($5). The tab was $408.57, and I left a $90 tip. What did I think? It was good but not great. I think I expected more from Piero’s, but it might be the problem in ordering wine that tainted my experience. The place was packed with diners so it must be fine dining, Italian style. For me, 4 stars at best. Would I return? Maybe."

"One of the most memorable dinners I've had with my friends in a long while. Service was amazing, and the atmosphere felt like it was straight out of a mob movie. My only complaint was that the quality of food for the price was a bit much... the food was generally very tasty, but $40 for Sunday sauce is quite steep. Would highly recommend for any special occasion, though."
