While our many trips to Las Vegas, we visit Harrahs from time to time and have always seen the Oyster bar and assumed they only serve Oysters, clams etc. but to our surprise they had a great selection of sandwiches and unique dishes. We tried the Kobe hamburger with soft shell crab, Lobster and steak, bouillabaisse have all been great... more

The service at Penazzi was terrible! Our waitress was down right rude! My steak was raw and when I kindly asked to have it recooked, it was returned burned to a crisp! And I honestly think it may have been "tampered" with in other ways as well because it had a "soapy" taste. Never in my life have I had... more

Stumbled upon this jem and ended up eating dinner there three nights in a row! Sit at the bar and watch the chefs prepare your dinner right in front of you. Wide variety of unique seafood dishes and soups that are a meal in itself. Absolutely the best selection of fish, oysters, mussels, and shrimp so big you have to... more

I also am one that rarely writes reviews of restaurants or hotels, and usually take negative reviews with a grain of salt. But I just couldn't let this go and want to warn others before they have the same bad experience that we did. I'll set the stage: It's my birthday on this day, and we're also happy because we... more

I usually don't take time to write reviews but honestly, Penazzi Italian Ristorante and Oyster Bar at Harrah's needs to close it's doors. It's appalling to me that a Las Vegas hot spot like Harrah's would allow such intentional poor service to be delivered within their hotel. I can't think of a single positive thing to say about Penazzi's. The... more

The WORST dining experience in my life. Reservations were at 6PM with our best friends who flew out to be with my husband and I for our wedding. We did not get our food until 9PM. No manager or owner even checked on us. Instead they sent over drinks - didn't ask us first and maybe my new husband did... more

We dined at this restaurant and had two dinner specials on 1/17/09. The starter (salad) was good. The chicken alfredo pasta was excellent and I sampled the chicken parm - it was good too. Would have preferred a different wine selection but that is just me. Overall, very convenient when staying at Harrahs. I will return. more

I ate at several of the celebrity chefs' restaurants in Las Vegas, but the best meal I had was at the Oyster Bar in Harrah's. I had a dozen raw oysters- they have a selection each day of the freshest ones available, and they were perfect- briny and flavorful. Then I had what they call Tuna Tartare, but contrary to... more

Never before have I had such an unpleasant experience as I did at Penazzi Italian Restaurant in Harrah's on the Vegas Strip. It was early afternoon and my husband was in the mood for authentic Italian food. There was no one else waiting to be seated and the restaurant was only about 10% full. When the hostess saw us waiting... more

Appalling service. Started well but when I chose the $20 special they couldn't get me out the place fast enough. Gave me my starter, and sat my main course on an adjacent table until I finished the salad. Requested white wine and was given red. The guy with the grey hair is particularly obnoxious. more
