    Bootleggers is a must when visiting Las Vegas. The food is excellent and so was the service. The pork chop was juicy and tender. The mashed potatoes were divine. The atmosphere was very nice and quiet and there was live, soft music in the background.

    I love this place! I’d asked to be seated close to the music. I won’t do that again, as the piano music was too loud, making it difficult to have a conversation. I do think $9 for lemon sherbet (it was way too tart for me) and spumoni ice cream is too much. I’ll go back but but make some changes next time for the best overall experience.

    If you like homemade Italian dishes, in a wonderful atmosphere, and impeccable service, you must visit The Bootlegger when you are in Vegas. It is worth whatever you have to do to get there. We have never had less than an exquisite meal there and always are treated like royalty.

    We love Bootlegger and have been dining here for several years. On this occasion we brought my Aunt from out of town. As always the food was delicious! Our server recommended the Burrata and now it’s my new favorite appetizer! Our party enjoyed Chicken and Eggplant Parmesan along with Chicken Franchese and Carbonara

    I would have awarded higher in the service category, but the hostess was very rude and not at all friendly. Other than her as my first experience with the restaurant, the remainder of our date night was fabulous. Great food and drinks!

    I have eaten here often for lunch or dinner. I have to eat gluten free because of celiac disease. I look forward to their cheese ravioli or cheese tortolini which is GF. They only had penne pasta on Wednesday. I can get GF penne pasta many places so it is nothing special. Also, the GF pasta is $22.00. They offer regular ravioli for $19 for lunch and it comes with a salad. I don’t mind spending the extra $3.00 for the GF but I don’t think it is right that they don’t offer the salad with it too. Then there is the wait staff. The waitress had an attitude. Some of the waiters do too but we have had some nice ones. This restaurant will no longer be on my rotation of places to eat.

    An option to sit in the area where live music was going on would have been appreciated. Really good food for the price, and outstanding service from wait staff. Decent ambiance. This is about the 8th time I have gone there, and there is a reason we go back (see above).

    Bootlegger Bistro is always a home run. My wife and I have eaten here more times than we can remember and they have knocked it out of the park each and every time. From the ambiance, the service (always 5 stars), to the live music. It always sets the ton for a great meal. We have often brought friends and family from out of town and they have always been impressed

    Don't get me wrong, I love this place - The food was excellent as always, but our server was either extremely inexperienced or just didn't care to be there. It is not like it was busy or anything, he had only our table - but he made what was usually a great experience and ruined it!

    This was a pleasant evening, food was traditional red sauce Italian, large portions in a very large and bit kooky environment. Service was excellent. Prices probably ok for Vegas but definitely not cheap. Was it worth the drive out? Maybe but that is just a personal call.

    The Bootlegger is my favorite restaurant in Las Vegas, after living here almost 15 years. We go frequently. Last night, Mark was our server. He was working on his anniversary! It was also our anniversary. He is a fantastic server, great attitude & personality & made the evening a culinary experience! The musical entertainment is great as always, and the food superb! Everything was prepared exactly as it should be. I highly recommend this family run restaurant for a wonderful meal.
