Living in Las Vegas, hadn't been to this new place in the Rio. Had a relative visiting and staying there, so we went down to meet them. Hidden up on the balcony in the back of the casino with a lovely view of the pool area. However, the room itself isn't exactly what I'd call warm and inviting. Hard surfaces,... more

As a Diamond cardholder for the Harrah's properties, I like to check out most of their restaurants when in Vegas. I was staying at the Rio during a deadtime (end of April) and on a Sunday evening about 9pm, walked into Cafe Martorano as a single. I was told there was about a fifteen minute wait to be seated at... more

We made a reservation for 6PM because I heard the place was always crowded. We arrived at 5:45 and waited outside as they would not let us into the bar or lounge area. At 6:05 we and 1 other person were still outside and we were then told they were having a pre dinner meeting and it would be a... more

We did not have a full meal here, only food at the bar, but glad that we did not waste any more time or money. Food was salty and overpriced. Refused a glass of tap water, and wine list was a rip off. Also an odd atmosphere with decore that mixes over-done cliche mobster theme with pink flashing lights and... more

It was a hot day in Vegas and the first thing I asked for was a glass of water. "No tap water, you need to buy a bottle. House rules." They gave me a glass of ice and allowed me to wait for it to melt. We got an eggplant parmesan appetizer that was drenched in far too much salty... more

I went to this restaurant as part of a work related dinner - about 15 people total. The music was so loud I could not talk to the person sitting beside me, let alone anyone else at the table. With the music blaring so loud, all you can do is look around the restaurant with a blank stare on your... more

I just dined there over the weekend with 9 other folks. The food was great and I liked that they served us family style and actually chose dishes for us. The service was good eventhough the waiter said he wouldn't give us too much food -- and then did. I also thought it wasn't too terribly expensive considering half our... more

Living right here in Las Vegas, my wife and I enjoy fine dining on a weekly basis. Steer clear from this place folks!! Your first clue----when asked to see the menu, we were told, rather rudely, (by 2 gum-chewing hostesses)that "We don't got menus, you eat whatever the chef has made today!" What attitude! Should have walked right then and... more

I ate here twice over the course of a few days. I'm glad I did because I got a better idea of what this place is really like. The first night I went with my girlfriend and we had a great time--but Chef Martorano was in Florida at the time, so the place was being run by the second in... more
