text: It is a really long review I hope it does not deter you from reading itnnnI really wish yelp gave the option of giving stars nnAnd so with that opening sentence here is my reviewnnA group of friends and I went to Dal Toro out of sheer desperation It was a Saturday night and well being Vegas all the good restaurants were already booked Now I know that we could have gone to any restaurant but we were starving and that was the only place we could get The restaurant is at The Palazzo and located in the lowest level of the hotel It was actually really hard to find and feared that because we were late our reservation had been canceled No such thing Upon finally arriving we checked in with the hostess While we waited to be seated a bride and groom it is Vegas after all went up to the hostess and asked if they could accommodate a party of They said they were willing to wait since it was a walkin The manager comes out and says that it will take about minutes Now THAT should have been my first clue Sadly I thought nothing of itnnThe hostess tells us that our table is ready so we go in Looking around I did not see that many people but again did not think twice about it nnOur waiter comes to greet us and take our drink order A few of us decide to get a bottle of wine while another one asked for a virgin daiquiri The waiter tells her that they do not make frozen drinks there So she gets a Shirley Temple Now the wine selection was not that impressive and to be quite honest they prices were a bit high nnWe get our drinks and now it is time to order get the Tuna Tartare another on gets the Salad di Campo which is just greens with yellow red pear tomatoes with lemon olive oil and I get the Caesar salad while waiting for the appetizers we munched on the bread and this delicious pestotype dip The appetizers are here yay What a big let down nnLets start with the Tuna Tartare the description said it was a spicy fresh tuna with a balsamic reduction and micro arugula It was neither spicy nor fresh The balsamic reduction was a drizzle on the plate not even on the tuna Oh and the micro arugula consisted of a sprinkle of little teenytiny leaves so that was true to the descriptionnnThe salads were basic nothing special about themnnOur waiter comes and asks how our food is We tell him that the tuna does not taste fresh and it is pretty much a disgusting dish He asks if we want the kitchen to make a new Hmm let me see that would be a no We asked for something completely different and off he went The new appetizers were Crab Cakes and a Caprese salad The salad was good the crab cakes were not We did not say anything else because we feared that our food would get spit onnnThe entrees come and we all look at each other not know what to expect and hoping to be pleasantly surprised Sadly that was not the case We ordered the following Veal Milanese Prosciutto Pizza Pasta with chicken and NY steak with a peppercorn brandy cream saucensighnnThe veal was crusted with panko bread crumbs but it was so dry cutting it was next to impossible Presentation wise the pasta was a big mess but it was edible The pizza was nice and crispy with a generous amount of prosciutto and an even more generous amount of arugula Upon first impression the steak looked good However when trying to cut it it disappointed I say trying because it was so tough I had to struggle with it It was then that I realized I was using a butter knife so I asked for a steak knife I thought that would solve the cutting issue but again that was not the case I could not cut a piece for the life of me I was arm wrestling it no joke The manager happened to stop by as I am doing that and asks how our food was I assume he heard about the tuna tartare I tell him my steak is so tough I cannot even cut it with the steak knife So he asks if he can try to cut me a piece Even HE struggled with it but played it off like I was not cutting it right He then has the nerve to ask me what was wrong with Really He suggest maybe cooking it a little bit more it was medrare and I tell him that that is not the problem The problem was the big tendonnerve running through the whole meat I tell him that I do not want it and do not want anything else in its place Boy was he mad He took it and said nothingnnNot once did he apologize or even PRETEND to feel bad for our experience Quite frankly we felt that we were the inconvenience and not the other way around To be honest we felt a bit disrespected for having spoken up With so many restaurants and so many choices one would think that they would go out of their way to make our dining experience a pleasant one Our waiter never came back that is how bad it wasnnI hope that although a bit long my review helps you in deciding whether to patronize this restaurant
