Polished modern Italian inside Caesars with standout housemade pasta and professional service, priced high for the Strip; book ahead and expect a lively scene with occasional host stand hiccups.
RPM Italian delivers solid A-grade performance through exceptional food quality anchored by housemade pastas and standout dishes like short rib bolognese and lobster ravioli, paired with attentive, polished service. However, inconsistent execution with occasional cold dishes and oversalting prevents grade A territory, while peak-time seating delays and host stand friction occasionally disrupt the otherwise refined experience. The attractive Forum Shops setting suits occasions well but lacks the distinctive character to elevate beyond a strong neighborhood favorite.
Tucked inside the Forum Shops at Caesars, the room feels refined yet lively with polished service and a celebratory buzz. Diners praise attentive servers who keep glasses full and courses flowing: “we never waited long for anything”. Expect an upscale vibe that suits birthdays, business dinners, and pre-show plans, though a few guests report host stand friction at peak times. The cooking leans modern Italian—housemade pastas, premium seafood, and a few tableside flourishes—more produce- and ingredient-driven than flashy. Standouts include short rib bolognese, lobster ravioli, and the truffled garlic bread. While most dishes land with polish, a minority mention oversalting or temperature slips on chicken parm or cacio e pepe. Pricing aligns with the Strip, but many feel the quality and setting justify it. Families are welcome and accommodated, and the menu has plenty kids will actually eat—spaghetti and meatball, rigatoni alla vodka (can be mild), chicken parm, and simple sides like garlic-whipped potatoes. No explicit kids menu was cited, but friendly service and approachable classics make it family-friendly in practice.
