Apr 10, 2009Consistently inaduate service!
Our family has visited Bellagio about 8 or so times. Why? There are not a whole lot of choices in this general area. Pizza is fairly decent. But service was always inadequate. Seeing how we've been here on more than one occasion. I cannot say that this is a coincidence. Service is not practiced here. On our latest and LAST visit to Bellagio. Three hairs were found in our pizza. The manager refused to exclude the "hairy" pizza from the bill. Which wasn't even half eaten They offered to make us another. Which we declined. I didn't have an appetite. It took several relayed messages from our waitress to have him come out and speak with me. Refusing to offer any resolve to the situation he walked away. We paid for our appetizer and drinks and left. Our service/waitress on this LAST occasion was actually not bad up until her manager screwed that up. On a previous visit the manager or maybe owner took our order. He was just as much an ass as this manager. It was obvious his own staff disliked him.
We had been here once before when out of nowhere. Funny lights come on and the half naked lady dances around. Comical! People tipping as if it was another type of "establishment". Not a night to take the family.
We will not be back at Bellagio Pizzeria Ever!!! -

We'll return
I'm confused why two reviewers (foodpro & anonymous) have exactly the same text review 4 days apart with 1 rated 1 star and the other rated 4 star. What's up with that?
It took me a long time to get talked into going to Belaggio's because of the Greek and "Dancer' marketing. In fact, I've visited Bellagio's 5 time in the past 3 months. It's always been at lunch, I've never brought my children, and there have never been dancers. (I hope there aren't). With that considered, I have found Bellagio's to be an outstanding Greek and Italian eatery. If they want it to be a 'family' eatery it's not going to work. This is adult all the way, and is an excellent place for a business lunch in a locale that needs another.
Food is above average, the facility is excellent, the wait staff is OK and improving, and it's a place you want to give corrective comments to and let them improve. Please do. I want them to be there for a long time for my future visits. -

Really, it's fine.
I'm not sure why the previous poster is obsessed with plumbers, but anyway...
As far as restaurants go, it's pretty average, and slightly above. It's not the best but it's far from awful. For the prices it's about what one would expect. It's comparable to places like Chili's, Oregano's, etc, and it's a local (not chain) restaurant, which I like. The belly dancer that they have sometimes is not inappropriate. It's not stripping, it's art, and it's fun. I'm a woman and I didn't feel threatened by my husband watching her, and my friend's kid thought the music and dancing was fun, and little kids don't get all caught up in innuendo like adults do. The food I've had there, and the service I've had there, has been fine. The waitstaff are fun and have a sense of humor. The people are laid-back but still professional. Sounds like the other poster must have come in on an "off" day for the restaurant or something, because I've been there several times, at least four or five over the last six months or so, and have never had those sorts of problems. -

Much better place to eat then here
Food was just blah. Not much to write about a being disappointed when taking your family out to eat. I think we will pass on this place and read reviews next time I take the kids out for dinner again. Pizza Hut here we come. Also I don't appreciate some half naked woman dancing in front of my kids. I thought Mesa was against this stuff.

Don't waste your money or time
This has got to be the worst experience in my dining days ever. We all arrived at this place and were not greeted at all. The guy that finally greeted us was the owner (I think) was wearing a t-shirt and his pants were hanging down past his ass where it looked like a plumber?s ass. (disgusting). Well I knew I should have left then but the others in my party wanted to give it a try. We all ordered wine and the waiter then served us was clueless on the wine selection. He said that his primary job was to work in the kitchen as the cook and that he only comes out on the floor to make extra money in tips because the owner doesn't want to pay me for what I am worth. Well any way after hearing this story we were scared to order because now our waiter was the cook and who was going to be cooking our meals? Possibly it could have been the greeter which is the plumber?s ass guy.
So any way we asked and the waiter (Sam I think was his name) told us that they have other cooks in the back that can cook as well. After a few minutes went by and discussing with my colleagues we ordered appetizers and we thought it was something that I could have ordered over at Peter Piper Pizza or maybe a type of a cafeteria food. It was so bland that we asked for some sauce of anything kind so we could taste something other then what we were eating and the waiter said it?s going to cost you for some sauce, we asked just bring something.
Any way we ordered dinner and once again we were not pleased with nothing that we had ordered. One person in the party ordered a NY style pizza and it tasted like something that you would eat at the Bronx Zoo. The cheese was burnt and the pizza smelled like it came from the Train tracks that came from the Zoo. The lasagna that was supposed to have meat in it and it was lacking meat but instead it had plumber?s glue inside of it. It was sticky and yucky that I asked the waiter to exchange it and he said that it would take another 30 minuets to make another entree.
Well I won?t bore you anymore with my horrific details of this place but I must warn you all that if you go to this place be prepared for a nightmare.
Oh and by the way nobody apologized for the bad experience that we had. -
