My partner and I dined here last night on 10/22/2023. Lee was our server. Although the food was great, our server was even better. He was kind, courteous, and his descriptions of the food were extremely accurate. We took ALL of his recommendations.
We dine out a lot. We don't even live here in Vegas, but because of the incredible service that Lee provided, we will return here again in the future. Good food makes for a good experience. A great server makes for a lasting and memorable experience.
Thanks, Lee! You are the best of the best. Your passion for the food on the menu was beautiful to experience. Thanks for making our evening memorable.

We found monzu’s online through Reddit and it came highly recommended. And oh boy was the food good. This was some of the best Italian food I’ve ever eaten. Their crepe lasagna was HEAVEN. It was incredibly good. Never had lasagna that good in my life. Also, the butter and bread they give you in the beginning was delicious. I don’t know what they do to that butter but it was great. Overall, an amazing experience. Would highly recommend.

Amazing food, bad service experience.
I booked a reservation for a party of five at 6:45pm on a Saturday. The place was packed on arrival. Our table was ready on time, but, we had a member drop out so we were down to a party of 4. They had a 6 seat table for us in the main dining area, but since we were down a person, they asked if we would switch to a 4 person table near the bar. We happily obliged, and that was a bad choice.
The service near the bar was bad. We were visited by our server promptly on arrival, placed our orders, and waited over an hour for our meals to be delivered. Our server was doubling as a bar tender so she checked in maybe once in that hour wait. We got a new server halfway through our meal, but, he barely checked in either. Other tables who sat down later than us got food before us. It was just bad service in general.
That said, the food was amazing. The gnocchi dish with 'nduja was packed with flavor, had a perfect spiciness, and was cooked to perfection. The trattoria was a hit. The meatballs were huge and excellent and the truffle fries were delicious and crisp. The drinks were great as well. Everything about the food was a hit, the service was the problem.
We spent roughly $70 a person, including tip and taxes, and we left around 8:45pm, two hours after being seated, not because we wanted to stay that long but because it took an hour for our food to arrive and 30 minutes for the check after we were all done eating.
Maybe the main dining room service would've been better, we felt forgotten in the corner by the bar.

I wanted to get dinner off the strip, and Monzu was recommended by a local friend. As soon as you enter, you know you're in for something special. The atmosphere is much quieter that that of restaurants on the strip (this could have been timing -- there is a stage for a band, so some nights might be electric), but the staff were every bit as professional as any of the pricier restaurants on the strip.
We sat down and the waiter gave us a rundown of the family-style offerings. They brought out a wonderful bread with an olive/ricotta spread -- bread was from a 300-year-old culture and did not disappoint.
The party was five men, and everyone had their own ideas for food, so we ordered plates instead of the family/chef options. I went simple -- spaghetti and meatballs. It was delicious, and my Italian grandmother would have agreed! The guys had carbonaro , gnocchi and caramelle. The reviews were consistent -- everyone delighted in their meals.
Desert offerings looked amazing, but I opted out. That may have been a mistake -- the donuts and calzones looked wonderful (and met with similar reviews).
Prices were better than on-strip; with drinks and tip, we were at about $60 per person. Well worth it! I can't wait to get back.

A friend recommended this place and I am super glad we checked it out. I can't believe I have driven by and never knew it was even here! The atmosphere was super simple and fun. The service was great along with the food. We had pizza and it did not disappoint! The restaurant gave me family owned vibes and made it very welcoming. They do have a small stage in the dining area, I assume for live music. We will be going back to try a few other dishes!
David Gerard
Bread service (unbelievable texture and flavor) with ricotta, evoo, and black pepper - beautifully done.
Calamari light and refreshing, packed with bright flavors. Perfectly cooked with the tooth you want.
Gnocci spot on. Interesting crunch from walnuts.
Sicilian Doughnuts - almost passed over but my god was that good - so glad we tried it! That's the must try 🤤
Alex Bishop
A perfect Italian dinner off the strip. Every single person we interacted with was incredibly nice and helpful. It was a bustling restaurant, but not too noisy. The cocktails were great. The winner was the lemon drop. It uses house made limoncello and it was delicious. We went with the house made pastas for dinner; the Tagliatelle and Caramelle. Both were the correct choice if you love rich, creamy pastas. I was partial to the Tagliatelle because the mushrooms and prosciutto added incredible flavor to the dish. We had the cookies for dessert and that was perfect for us because we were so full. That was a nice, light dessert, but I would try a different dessert next time. This spot is perfect for a nice date night, without the hassle of the strip.

Amazing. Service, friendliness, food presentation/quality, timing of delivery of all things during the stay, perfect. Monzu far exceeded our expectations & we'll 100% be frequenting them again & again now that we know how good this place is.
Julie Marquez
Talk about a surprise. I was under the impression that this was a casual pizza place. I expected to grab a slice and a beer.
We were seated and first perused a very generous wine list which I believe were all Italian wines. The menu had pizza 🍕 and so much more. We went with the Chef Dinner for $45 per person. Charcuterie..two salads…three pastas…a lasagna AND pizza. Oh and a three part dessert!’ We couldn’t finish it all. Great flavors…great wine and great service. We will tell everyone we know and definitely be back!
Katherine Hooper
Monzu is SO GOOD! Everything we had, drinks, appetizers, bread, entrees, dessert, were amazing. The crepe lasagna was a favorite.
Edward Steller
Absolutely excellent! I have reviewed hundreds of restaurants in the last few years and this place is right up there with the best. Especially the bar team of Chris and Collin. Can't wait to go back.
Wes Inaba
Monzu serves up Italian in a lively environment with live music and amazing service.
We got the top end Il Massimo tasting menu at over $90 per plate. It was a little disappointing for us. Perhaps because it's more traditional Italian old world cooking. We are more accustomed to modern style Italian or even fusion. Nevertheless, I don't want to take away from an amazing experience. It's just that the food didn't strike a chord with our pallettes.
The service was so amazing. Very attentive.
The restaurant itself is bustling. There are staff everywhere catering to your every need.
Based on other reviews, it's well loved in Vegas as a child of the same family that brought Vegas the famous Nora's. It just may not be the new age eatery for younger eaters.
Still... 4x🍝🍝🍝🍝

Today I celebrated my 28th birthday and we made a reservation for 9 people.
This is my new favorite restaurant. First off, the restaurant is beautiful. We were greeted and immediately felt at home. Our server named Lee was incredible. We felt like we were treated like royalty.
The food is incredible. Full of flavor, authenticity, and aesthetically pleasing. I am at a loss of words and I am so thankful that I found this restaurant. This is a MUST TRY for anyone in the mood for an amazing meal and an amazing experience you won’t forget.

This was my second visit to this iconic Italian bistro. My friends and I just stopped in for digestive after having dinner at another restaurant. It was a charming and wonderful experience. We arrived just in time to hear Chef Giovanni Mauro sing a lovely ballad as we sampled Monzú's extensive collection of Amaros - herbal and botanical infused Italian liqueurs.
Chris at the bar was great at curating our tasting journey through this amazing family of spirits.
Crissy Moore
Well worth the drive if you're staying on the strip. They have amazing options for a tasting menu starting at $45 per person. You get so much food. Everything I've eaten here is amazing. The sourdough bread and fresh pasta is to die for!

Delicious pizza. We tried 3 different varieties and each one was excellent! The special dough is the secret. Service was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Lovely environment creates the perfect setting for a great meal.
Julie Burke
Monzu is ridiculously good! Drinks were delicious, their special bread they make with the cheese spread is so tasty, the mushroom risotto with the egg was amazing, crepe lasagna was so good and all of their pizzas again with the special bread is beyond good. You will not be disappointed. Staff is super friendly and accommodating too.

Simply one of the top 5 pizza’s I’ve ever had. Pork Reigns and it sure does. Great atmosphere inside with awesome service and food. Not as flash on the outside but that counts for naught as it’s the food that matters. Oh but wait there is more, headed back a couple of nights later and had the 32oz ribeye, in fact all four of us did and we were all very happy. Possibly the best steak I’ve had while I’ve been in the US. Coffee is was on point too. 👍🏼
Courtney Triebelhorn
We dined on a Monday night as a party of 5. From the moment we walked in the door the service was outstanding. We were there for a birthday celebration. We wanted something off the strip and we are so glad we picked Monzu. We were quickly served the house made sourdough bread with ricotta, olive oil and fresh cracked pepper. I am pretty sure I will never eat bread any other way. Everyone in our party had something different from the menu. The lamb chops were amazing and the gnocchi with the spicy sausage sauce was perfect. The meal was finished with a small birthday dessert that we were able to share because we were stuffed! Amazing atmosphere and delicious food topped off with impeccable service.
Ashley Fuller
My husband and I’s Favorite place! Honestly, it’s the best pizza we’ve ever had. The dough is so good. We had the bacon wrapped dates and the Giovanni’s salad to start and then had a pizza with half caprese, half the apricot which is soooo amazing! We also were treated like family there which I loved. Grab a spritz and peruse the menu for some of the best dining you’ll find!
Kristi Bernhardt
We had an incredible experience at Pizzeria Monzú!
The atmosphere, the music and the food were all top notch. We couldn’t decide on one to share so we went halfsies with the Classic Combo and the ‘Nduja. It was delicious! Fresh ingredients, and generous portions leave you satisfied and you have a plenty to take home. What stood out the most during lunch was the exceptional customer service from all the staff from the moment we walked in. There was a concern at a neighboring table, and it was addressed quickly. The manager and our server were friendly and helpful. I’m totally impressed, and would recommend this establishment to everyone!
Ralph Perrazzo
One of my best meals I have had in Las Vegas. Those lemon leaf grilled sausage patties were delicious. Great attentive bar tender who was a local for 20 years happy to be behind a bar of a great place. Hands down a refreshing new place to eat.
Maranda James
Finally got to try Gio's new place!! OMG! Sooooo good. Please try this place whether you're a local or a visitor. I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed. Truly fresh and authentic! The cocktails spark your senses and are crafted with love. My favorite so far, Spacco Totto. Appetizer...Try the Stuffed Lemon Leaves!! They melt in your mouth! And in my opinion, the best thing about Gio's restaurants is the fact that he is a master bread maker....A five day process with two very special ingredients make the best bread and pizza!! Just go already! ��
Terry Ritz
This place is fabulous. The pizza is as hot and great as the music. The waiters and waitresses are at your command and are very, very friendly. I highly recommend Friday and Saturday nights with hot live Jazz and great food. The $10.00 lunch cannot be beat. Go, go, go.
Rocio Perez
We came to Pizzeria Monzu on a Saturday night for the first time and it was very crowded. We ordered a small pizza which was so good, a meatball that was to die for, and stuffed chicken wings that had us licking our fingers. Our only suggestion would be to make reservations or pre-order your food because it takes them about 30 minutes to prepare a pizza. The staff was really nice, and music was amazing ..
Laura Addis Fierro
The handcrafted cocktails are absolutely amazing! I’ve been there with a few people and we Veitch order different things and tried each other’s and they were all fabulous! They have a wonderful huge meat ball which everybody loves although I’ve never tried it since I’m a vegetarian but I do absolutely adore the squash blossoms that are with stuffed with Ricotta and mint and are very lightly battered. Their pizza is amazing. Their crust especially madeAnd has a little historic background to it. Must try! They have jazz on weekends at night too!
Jane Aikey
From the first bite, I knew their pizzas were amazing. (although a friend had previously written an excellent review). I ordered a small with 1/2 one flavor, and 1/2 another flavor. They were accommodating with this requests, and since it was a "to go" order, they even boxed it in 2 different boxes. I will definitely be going back for more.
Joey Melotti
The crust is outrageous. Best I’ve tasted on this coast! Gio has some very cool offerings! We loved the “Apricot” and the Vegetarian with eggplant! Also the ambience of the restaurant is way cool. It’s a must do!
Rockie Brown
I love what Chef Gio did with the place! Killer vibe, service, wine and the pizza was seriously yummy! (Dough is everything!) Had a wonderful time with the fam. This place is a hit! ���
Brandi Montonini
This place is phenomenal! The pizza dough is out of this world. We tried 2 different appetizers and shared a pizza. I could tell every single ingredient had been perfectly selected for an incredible dish! Highly recommended!!!
Sara Bodensteiner Ricciardi
Had a wonderful dinner. Meatball and sausage were both excellent. Pizza is amazing. Italian donut was outstanding and a great end to the meal. Highly recommend.
Gina Loalbo Johnson
