My husband and I had an amazing Christmas Day dinner here! The special three-course meal was outstanding—each dish was beautifully prepared and full of authentic Italian flavors. The brussel sprout salad, bolognese, and beef short rib were absolute standouts! The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and perfectly timed. The warm, festive atmosphere made the experience even more special. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

This place has the most amazing delicious food. The chefs ability to bring in a variety of flavors and textures is worthy of Michelin Star recognition. Wait staff are all astute and wonderful. Especially Ashley who was our waitress.

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
