About the restaurant

Beso is a Las Vegas restaurant, serving up the best Mediterranean and Eastern European cuisine in town. Our menu offers traditional Bulgarian, Greek, Serbian, Romanian and American dishes. We’ve got a full bar, so you can enjoy your meal with a glass of wine or a cocktail, and our menu features something for everyone. Whether you’re in the mood for traditional dishes like hummus and lamb kebabs, or something more modern like our quinoa salad with grilled chicken, we’ve got you covered. And of course, no meal at Beso would be complete without one of our signature desserts. Our baklava is made fresh daily and our tiramisu is to die for. So come on down to Beso Restaurant and experience the best of what Las Vegas has to offer.

Beso is one of my favorite restaurants. We come here at least once a month. My wife, who is Romanian, has a lot of her favorites from her original country on the menu to choose from. We often bring guests with us to experience this venue. The food is excellent, and the service is prompt and attentive. I highly recommend Beso.

Whenever we visit Vegas, we stay at The Palazzo and always dine at Wakuda. The food and service are outstanding! Try the chef's omakase and trust the servers to introduce you to a variety of specialties, the miso sea bass is one of our favorites, and the wagyu steak served flambé style is delicious. The cloud dessert is a sight to behold, but our favorite is the miso soft serve ice cream that tastes like salted caramel. Must definitely try the lychee martini with the wakamomo peach!

About the restaurant

Keeping things casual has never been this fun—or satisfying. La La Noodle serves Pan-Asian cuisine where our mouthwatering noodles are the star of the show, from Lo Mein and Singapore Style to delicious Dan Dan noodles. La La has plenty of love for other tastes too. Appetizers like pot stickers, spring rolls and honey-glazed chicken wings are just the start of a hit-list menu of classic dishes and regional specialties. Take a table on the patio, jam to the electric eighties soundtrack inside, or pull up to the bar for a front-row view of all the action. Come hungry—and get ready for full-force flavor.

Good size portions of food. We originally were seated in the back dining and asked to move as we found it sterile and cold. Service was outstanding…very attentive and friendly

It's a sports bar. So expect noise to be a little up there. The menu was very good for a sports bar. I had the wings and the bacon wrapped shrimp in buffalo sauce. All of it was amazing! The prices were good for what you get. The staff was very talkative. This place can easily become a go-to. The food is THAT good.

I have been going to Fiorella’s for quite some time now and have never been disappointed. The hostesses, wait staff and chefs are all friendly and really know food. I have taken my picky Italian best friend there and she loved everything on the menu. Love, love, love this restaurant

The atmosphere, food, and vibe was great but the service was terrible from the moment we entered the establishment. The hostess ended up being our server and just did not know the menu, answers to questions, brought out the wrong items, etc. and was not ready and/or trained enough to be on the floor. The manager was very friendly and accommodating and is the only reason why we stayed as we were from out of town and came to watch the fights. Without knowing the area very well, we would have gone to another establishment; especially since we made a reservation and did not receive the type of table we reserve.
