This is a true "Old Vegas" experience that should not be missed. From reading reviews, we knew reservations were a must. We arrived about 20 minutes prior to our reservation time, which was about 5 minutes before they opened for the evening, and had to wait outside until doors opened. It was kind of fun to be able to mingle and talk to others who were visiting from all over the world and get their take on Battista's. As soon as we were allowed inside, we were immediately seated. If we had not done our "research" we would have been confused as to the menu and how to order as our waiter was not very friendly, ok, he was downright grumpy. We were not about to let this ruin my daughter's birthday celebration and just laughed it off. The most delicious bread was immediately brought to our table, and there was a ton of it! Seriously some of the best bread I have ever had! We were also given the choice of white or red wine. We don't drink but still wanted the "experience"and ordered the red. We didn't care for it, probably because we aren't drinkers. We were a bit surprised at how our water glasses were not filled when empty. That garlic bread made us thirsty and most of the meal we were wanting water. We were not asked if we wanted soup or salad and the wrong choice was made for us. Once we were able to get the server's attention, we were brought our salads.Salad was fresh and good, just not great...nothing special.Service was pretty quick and our main course was brought out in a very short amount of time. Both of our meals were absolutely delicious and were very large servings. I have honestly not had better manicotti in my life. My daughter order the chicken alfredo, and it too was delicious. The chicken was superb. It was a beautiful color and was very moist. We were brought our "cappuccino" which was delicious, but I am 99.9% convinced it was Swiss Miss Cocoa with spray whipped cream on top. I love Swiss Miss, so that was not an issue, but it did give me a chuckle at the thought of the raving reviews about the cappuccino. Since we were celebrating my daughter's birthday, a brownie with a candle was brought out to her. Our server, literally, threw it on the table, mumbled happy birthday, and walked away. Again, we had a good giggle! The food here was delicious and we will make it a point to visit again. And, it was a fun experience, even if our server was having a bad night, we were not about to let him ruin our night. The food was a 5, the service was about a 2 or 3, but I still enjoyed the night and opted for a solid 4 star review.
