    Our waitress was fabulous! The service was great. There was an issue with my steak, but they were very happy to take it back and cook me another one. Overall, very pleased with our experience. We were celebrating our 42nd anniversary.

    A Culinary Journey to Italy at Bella Italian Soul Nestled inside the Sahara Hotel, Bella Italian Soul delivers an unforgettable meal. Bella Italian Soul captures the essence of authentic Italian cuisine. The dishes here are a testament to freshness, quality, and expert craftsmanship. Each bite takes you on a journey through Italy’s culinary traditions, with flavors that are vibrant, balanced, and truly exceptional. The presentation was impeccable, and the care put into every detail—both in the kitchen and in the dining room—did not go unnoticed. My compliments to the chef and the entire team for creating an experience that transported me back to the heart of Italy. If you’re a lover of Italian food and appreciate a meal that feeds your soul, Bella Italian Soul is a must-visit. It’s a rare gem that brings together authenticity, freshness, and passion in every dish. Bravo to the team for delivering excellence on every level! The menu is minimal but the selections are fabulous, it will not disappoint. Bon appétit Don’t forget to check out one of the best wine menus in Las Vegas Vegas of any Italian restaurant. Joe F

    The bar, the only seating option with the 5-6pm happy hour menu, was about full when I was there about 5:30-6:30. Regular table seating was empty except for one or two couples that I could see. This is a modern, upscale restaurant that it would be difficult to identify as Italian other than by looking at the menu. Happy hour food prices are low to reasonable for the limited menu available at that time, but drink prices still pretty high even then. Regular menu prices are pretty steep. I had the Margherita pizza which I thought was good but not great. This was a fairly small oblong pizza, technically looking like a Pinsa Romano, heavy doughy bread, reasonably good tomato sauce with a little "Buffalo" mozzarella and fresh whole basil leaves added after baking. Service was very good, staff pleasant.
