text: My wife and I were dying to go to Buddys new place in Vegas So I made reservations ahead of time and could not wait We went earlier in the day just so we could know where in the mall it was located I am glad we did since it was off a corridor from the main forum shops We liked how the place looked Well set up and inviting They had a long row of outside tables in front of the restaurant nnSo we go to the place and they found our reservation and went to seat us They brought us into the bar and sat us in the corner with a view of the strip I did not mind the view but if I made reservations why was I sitting at the bar Kind Of of set the mode already It was not to crowded for a Friday night which we were very surprised when most restaurants are hopping There were bread stick on the table already but they were prepackaged ones and not from Italy they were made in New Jersey nnWe wanted the best from Buddy so my wife ordered his wifes linguine and clam sauce While I had Buddys chicken rigatoni ALLA VODKA My wifes meal was plain and not worth the that they charged for it It tasted like my wife made it herself nothing fancy or fantastic taste Mine had maybe pieces of chicken in it and the pasta was kind of chewy It was like my wife made it also Not saying I would not eat it but not real fine dining We have been to several restaurants in Vegas since we go times a year So I am no newbie nnOh I missed the garlic bread we ordered before the meal Which consisted of three pieces for Nothing special and little over priced again My wife and I agreed Buddy should of opened a cafue type restaurant and not fine dining The food is more family food but over priced for Vegas It would be totally packed everyday if the prices were lower and family orientated nnBut not to jam on Buddy over his place We had the Italian birthday cake and let me tell you it was no disappointment We loved it and that what Buddy is famous for Cakes I wish he had a bakery with the restaurant because that would go no stop Hope this helps you guys out thanks
