The setting is nice, however not as opulent as Bellagio’s buffet. Wynn’s buffet lacks a theme, and frankly some good cooking. There is a mix of almost everything, but each sample is small. For example, you got 3-4 Italian dishes including pizza, and 5 Chinese dishes, a few middle-eastern dishes, and a little bit of sea-food.
The quality of the food is low and there is nothing that you cannot find at a buffet which is priced at half of the $35 you pay at Wynn. The desserts bar is poor, except for good ice-cream. Most of foods were not cooked properly. For example, pork chops were hard and rubbery, and the beef roast was raw; the guy next to me in line asked for it to be microwaved so he can eat it.

When the waitress came around we told her about the problems we see with the quality and variety of the buffet, and she brought in the manager. After some ‘customer satisfaction’ talk that we will do everything for you to be satisfied, my wife asked for crepes. His answer was ‘we cannot do it, this is a Friday and Saturday night dish’. He offered no refund, and just paid lip service.

My advice…go to Bellagio for the same money, or choose a place like Sahara or Planet Hollywood.

The worst dining experience we had in vegas. The service was bad and the food was worse. No variety on menu, minimal mediteranian influence. Rotten vegatables and cold soup still recieved no attention from managment. Unexceptable quality for 30+ a plate.

We arrived at the Wynn to find an absolute treasure that was not highly touted like some of the other restaurants in the hotel. Corsa Cucina has definitely won my girlfriend and me over. We heard from the staff that they are going to renovate the room to be slightly more upscale, so we are definitely looking forward to going back. The staff was wonderful, the food was outstanding, and with a little facelift, I think they will have a homerun. Check it out, we certainly will.

Reservations highly recommended, but were not needed at all when we arrived. Slow to get initial service. No water. Waiter (Sean) forgot BOTH our drink order and food order. He had to come back and ask what our orders were, WELL after we ordered. The food was even slower to come out. My wife had the Artisinal Goat’s Milk Ricotta Gnudi and I had the Dungeness Crab. The Ricotta was delicious, but VERY rich. The Dungeness Crab was also delicious and rich. The crab also had MANY pieces of crab shell, indicating poor prep and attention to detail. Chef Stephen Kalt has the right idea for the food, but the service and food preparation was just aweful. The staff and GM were not at all receptive to our comments and complaints. Highly overpriced based on our experience. We can get better of both at our local Olive Garden. Stay away from the black mark in the Wynn!

Corsa Cucina needs some tweeking. The menu is limited and the decor gave my guests and I the ambience of a diner. What we ordered was good, not great. The bread was o.k.. That is my point, everything is o.k. or good. But, to be the only italian-mediterrean restaurant in the Wynn is not acceptable. It was the most disappointing dinner of our trip but the most expensive. Skip Corsa Cucina and you will miss nothing great.

I simply had an amazing experience at Corsa. I was pleasantly suprised by the upscale casual venue that I have been hearing about. The food and service were exceptional and the decor I was told is in the process of being renovated. Chef Stephen Kalt has definitely hit the mark with this one.

I ordered the Lobster Raviolis with White Asparagus and received some very small rolled items which I assume was the lobster raviolis but the asparagus I received was small green asparagus not white. There was no explanation for this from the staff. My guest ordered the Lamb Shank and was very happy with the meal but thought the whole experience was over priced especially the salad we had. There was no wine or alcoholic drinks of any kind at our table and no dessert and the bill was $90.00. I do suggest that the restaurant should at least serve what the people order. The bread was excellent.
