Buddy V's Ristorante 3327 South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV 89109

"Overall a 3.5 for me — the staff were excellent, super attentive, patient, and great with questions about the menu. The place is very busy and loud, so the ambiance is a little lacking. We were a group of six and waited 1hr for a table for dinner at 7pm on a Monday (which is typical, if not short for the strip), I recommend getting your name down early or making a reservation in advance! The food was okay — the focaccia for the table was a little stale, and the lasagna I ordered was significantly over-salted, and that’s not something I’m usually sensitive to. My favourite part of our meal was the eggplant parm. In terms of value, the food is well priced for the portion size — I split the lasagna in half with a friend and it was still huge! Most of our table enjoyed their meals but couldn’t finish them because of the size. Overall a decent spot, but minus a star for food flavour, and minus one for ambiance."

"Dinner for 2, celebrating anniversary. Food was mediocre. Definitely not an authentic Italian feel. Our meal was ready in under 5 minutes, which makes us believe that it was precooked. Missing utensils, got drinks after we finished eating. Service was poor. We saw our waitress when she took our order and when it was time to pay."

"It has become a bit of a Vegas favorite for us. They take classic Italian comfort food and add small twists to make it a bit more interesting than your average dish. For the most part they work out pretty well and make for a memorable meal out of typical Italian plates. They also have a great set of tasty cocktails."

"We love going to Buddy's Ristorante located in the Venetian each time we go to Las Vegas. One this visit, Buddy V’s offered a satisfying dining experience. Great atmosphere and the food: Chicken Parm, Cheese Ravioli, and Caesar salad were all tasty and something to write home to your Mom about! However, the service was only average at best. Server and Assistant Server were not friendly and distracted from the Vegas experience. General Manager came out to talk to tables around us, but skipped our table completely, not even a token Hi, how was your meal :(. Despite the lack of friendly service, Overall, a decent choice for a tasty Italian meal."

"The food is very flavorful with a stellar presentation. Super fast service and everyone says thank you. The caesar salad was the best I’ve had with soft chewy croutons providing a different texture and experience. Meatballs are out of this world seasoned beautifully. The desserts were rich and amazing. The lights were dim enough to create a elegant ambiance."
