So the wife and I went to Buddy V's last night and here are my thoughts.  Overall it was a good dining experience, but not a great one.  I wasn't bowled over by either the service or the food, (except for the desert).  It was just kind of okay and most likely won't go back.\nFirst off, the restaurant is tucked away in a spot that has a fantastic view of the Strip, but the internal design was emotionally cold.  I want an Italian-American restaurant to be warm and inviting and this place was trying too hard to be fancy, (which is most likely a result of its being in the Venetian). \nWe didn't order any appetizers but for entrees my wife had the Veal Marsala and I had the Chicken Parm.  My wife and I both loved the taste of our meals.  They were both well prepared but both were a bit on the small side for the money they are charging. The Chicken Parm had only two cutlets and the side of spaghetti was only about a half a cup's worth.  Same with the wife's dish.  Like I said both tasted real good, but not really any better than any other Italian joint in town. Also, they give you fancy Focaccia bread with dinner.  Sadly they offer no butter or Olive oil to go with it and really, the bread had a distinctive taste to it, which made it non-optimal for dipping.  I'd rather have warm, fresh, and plain Italian bread over the fancy stuff. \nFor desert we shared a Tiramisu and that was fantastic.  The quality and taste of it was spot on.  \nAs far as the service, the wait staff was very attentive.  Our waiter was professional but a bit stoic.  \nWe probably won't go back because I can get just as good Italian food from a local spot 10 minutes from my house but the desert was great so maybe it's worth it to try lunch there instead of dinner paired with desert.
