Zeffirino (The Venetian)



  • Italian

  • Food: Impressive
  • Service: Impressive

  • The food was good,and the pasta was cooked just right, but drastically overpriced when compared to other restaurants of the same caliber. Even the wine list was way overpriced. The service was terrible!!! There is a seperate person to do every little thing from grinding pepper on your salad to opening your wine, but they had a problem coordinating it all, leaving you with very little service, and confused as to who to ask for anything. Not once did somebody ask how our meal was, or refill our wine glasses, or offer us pepper. There were no salt & pepper shakers on any of the tables. I felt like if I would have asked for better service that my food would have been spit on. Oh, if you ask for plain tap water, they seem irritated that you did not spend money on bottled water. I eat at many different upscale establishments, and I would try to deter anyone from wasting their money to eat a place where you are made to feel like you need to do your waiter a personal favour to get any service,or if you do not order the most expensive wine ,appetizer, and entree, you are scowled at for the rest of your meal. There was nobody with any sort of healthy personality serving you. NO friendly atmosphere here! After dinner, we went down to one of the bars in the hotel and expressed ourselves to the bartender, and he told us that we were the 4th couple to complain about that resaurant that night! To top things off, there is only one bathroom stall for each gender, and it is not a small restaurant. The line-up for the bathroom was too long to even bother waiting to go. They should have had a number machine, where you pick a number and you sit and wait until your number has been called. If you want great Italian food with a better price and better service, eat at the restaurant at the New York New York Hotel. We ate there twice in 24hours and it was not even our hotel. Please do not eat at Zeffirino's. It will only disappoint you.
