A Classic Las Vegas Italian Restaurant You MUST TRY in 2022 ( local favorite)

[@joeo1168]

They used to have a roving accordionist. Good fun and better vibes. Unfortunately, those places are dying everywhere. Mangia Vegas!

[@greghightower1]

Gordy is still around, he is 92 and has stayed away since Covid.. would love to see him back someday!

[@joeo1168]

@@greghightower1 That's great to hear. He worked hard, but looked like he was having fun. Thanks!

[@kizzy3281]

Tanya you look beautiful tonight. Just glowing

[@NeverStopFoodies]

OMG!!! You got Spumoni??? yum yum yum!!! (it's strawberry? not cherry with almonds?) hmmmm

[@edb2078]

pepperoncini as an italian would call them.

[@JohnnySalMusic1]

Wheeeeere's GORDY???? ( the accordian player)

[@marianne4468]

Last time I was there the staff said that he hasn't been in since covid. I can see why he was up there in years. But he was so much fun!

[@JohnnySalMusic1]

@@marianne4468 Thank You....yeah Gordy is up there...hope he's doing OK....but like u said so much FUN!

[@peteryeh6866]

Yum Yum.. I love your video.. 🤩💯👍

[@chyrlemorina362]

This place is the bomb. Went there 40 yrs ago when my son was 4 months old for a convention!! Every year when we go out to Vegas Battista’s is our go-to-place. The accordion player is the original player. Very good food!!!

[@willglo]

FREE WINE!!!???... fcuk yeah!!!... My wife and I are sooo there!!! Besides that, Italian is my favorite food!

[@Christine_1075]

Awesome 👏🏽 Video

[@amybell9409]

We ate there about a week ago. Wonderful food, and when we went to settle the check, found out that the Bachelorette table next to us had paid our bill. Excellent!!

[@timsavo24]

Was the elderly old accordion player there? I’ve been there a dozen or so times and he has always been there. Hopefully they didn’t get rid of him!

[@slapstickdome9797]

Great review. My kinda place. House wine to desert!!! Loved it. Thanks Tanya and Dave for serving me up a great meal 👍

[@OrdinaryDude]

Since you're in an Italian restaurant, that's probably a pepperoncini, not a banana pepper. Then again, they might be exactly the same thing. 🤷‍♂️

[@thomasrobinson9297]

My wife and I just got back from our honeymoon last week. We made it a point to eat here. The food and the atmosphere was finomanle.

[@happiness026]

My Favorite Place I Luv Battistas Nyc here

[@JenniferSparksSavoy]

I kind of like cozy eclectic places like that! Good find thanks for sharing :)

[@maryannmanning174]

Looks so good and the prices are very reasonable. Super cozy and all the pictures are fun to see. And the actor you didn’t name was Tony Curtis. Thanks for the great and thorough review..

[@Desirae383]

I was JUST telling my husband I wanted to go there while there next week! Now I know it’s meant to be.

[@darcibeckford6848]

I've been to Battista's a few times over the years and it just made me happy with the retro vibe. Of course, those were the days when Gordy roamed around playing the accordion, which was awesome. Is the food the best I've ever had? No, but it was tasty enough and satisfying. Is the wine great? Mmm, no, but it's drinkable. Mostly it was just the fun of the place and imagining the Rat Pack in the next booth. I have heard conflicting information on what happened to Gordy: one version that he was staying away due to his age & Covid, and the other that he retired. Maybe someone on here knows.

[@deplorablebob4237]

Got the lasagna there. Definitely did not leave hungry

[@marianne4468]

Batistas was my go to for Italian for every trip for the past 20+ years. Its great especially if you are staying on or by the strip. Their portions have gotten smaller.. There used to be an older guy that would come to your table and play the accordion and sing but I think since covid he hasn't been in,. My cousin who is local took us to a different locals place that is a bit off of the strip. but is now our go to.

[@erodriguez6622]

Marianne, what is your new go to place and why?

[@chillywilliedfw9093]

Coming on Friday, may have to check this spot out. Thanks for the vid and luv u guys content.

[@jameshavard3182]

Great video. I don't order meatballs, I order the meat'a'balls. Love everything you guys said about Battista's old school charm. it is my favorite. At the hotel room, I don't bother unpacking, I head straight to Battista's.

[@lisaanderson8235]

Gosh. What a fun old skool place!! ❤️❤️ House 🍷 carafes FTW!

[@debbiethomas9578]

I'm scared to ask, but whatever happened to Gordy the accordion player?

[@donnawalker147]

Have been there and food is so reasonable for the portions , free wine and just a nice comfy place. So glad you are somewhere else besides Hell’s Kitchen or mon ami gain. Thx for this video😋

[@HiddenJackpots]

So happy you guys did this. Not may reviews on Bautista's

[@seajlim]

All you can drink wine in Vegas sounds like fun.. and dangerous 😂

[@amybutler9886]

In 2005 the owners sold the restaurant to Harrah’s (now Caesar’s). It is great that they allow the restaurant to operate unchanged, at least for now. Let’s all enjoy this classic while we can!

[@shopsipsaute6981]

Great video you guys! Wondering if you have ever tried Casa Di Amore on Tropicana Ave? I've heard great things about it.I plan to go every time I am in Vegas. But I never make it there! If you have done a video, can you link it? If not, would you consider doing a video on it? Next trip to Vegas, I am gonna get there LOL!

[@chyrlemorina362]

Leave your business card on the wall. My husband put his on the wall back in ‘81. Checked and it’s still there!!

[@kathyhubert7434]

You should try Casa D Amore. We had some great times there. Good food, fun entertainment.

[@jrdehart]

I went to Battista’s when I was in town for a trade show recently. It was a phenomenal meal! It sounds like your chicken was dry just like mine was, but everything else was so good I didn’t mind. Definitely worth a visit on your next trip to Vegas! (Just skip the chicken!)

[@wendaltvedt4673]

I don't mind chicken breast being on the dry side when you're having it with creamy alfredo sauce.

[@laurie6332]

Is this the restuarant across from the side of Bally's? I have wanted to go in their, so many people talk about it. Prices are great! Looked yummy. Thanks!

[@vasonar]

Get over there, get a reservation. It can get busy around the weekend.

[@sharonmaurer2882]

Great video as always. We ordered dinner and im having eggplant parm with ziti. That place looks amazing and you are such a beautiful couple:) love the turn it up world family:)

[@TracyJ4418]

😍

[@brittanym7491]

I went a few months ago and there was a chick there with a date...who, well let's say, definitely took advantage of the free unlimited wine 😂😂. Her date was either reallllly lucky or realllllly disappointed that night bahaha.

[@nancysherer4561]

Always wanted to go there . My husband played Vegas downtown and the pussy cat a go go! Many years ago! Love Vegas!!🥰

[@thepugsandtheprincess]

This Italian American gal loved that place too! Felt like the North End in Boston.

[@l.a.woman564]

Thank you for a great review Tanya & Dave! Been going to Vegas since the 80s and have always wanted to go here!

Reminds me a little of a good family Italian restaurant, free cheese on the table did they have the pepper 2. Lol. This just made my list. Price is right 2

[@stephenjones9328]

Hmmm... broken clam shells in the clam sauce. How is that acceptable?

[@OrdinaryDude]

Did you guys see any seating for one? A counter or small 2-top tables? I'm traveling solo and will be staying at Bally's, so this looks like a nice option for dinner...

[@OrdinaryDude]

[@momlovesnoel]

OMG!! Battistas!!! The food isn't great but the place is absolutely entertaining. From the servers to the old guy with the accordion, who plays for 5 seconds then sticks his hand out for tips (always makes me laugh) to the old vibe, to the menu on the wall :) It's all amazing. PS - the wine is GROSS but everyone drinks as much as possible! lol

Such a great place…. My dad brought mere there for first time 20 years ago when I was “21”. We had a great time and stumbled out of there high on life (and the red wine). I’ve been back many times over the years and can’t wait to go back again!!! Thank you for doing a piece on the place!

[@CurlyQ227_]

How was the wine? I loved the simplicity of the menu. Great video.

[@TurnItUpWorld]

The was wasn't bad. The red felt more like a chianti.

[@glowormrdr6183]

In over 20 yrs of visits I somehow never thought of stopping in at Battista's, even when staying nearby. We will stop in next trip; it looks so friendly. 'Can't believe you didn't remember Tony Curtis' name - but I forget I'm old.

Did you ask the staff if Gordy has any plans to return now that Vegas is opening up again?

[@wendaltvedt4673]

Does Gordy have a son? He should take the throne!

Battista's Hole in the Wall is definitely old school Vegas. Can't wait to try it. Noticed it back in 1990 on my first trip but never tried it. Can't wait to visit not just for the food but for the history. Thank you Tanya and Dave.
