Been there several times , have been imprerssed w/ quality, taste and presentation of food . Staff was helpful, bartender the best !!!!!!. We are fortunate to have visited Italy a few times and the food is just as good - believe me we are lucky to have a resturant like this in the LV.

I have dined at Molinari's several times and have had a very good experience each time. Great food and outstanding staff who are friendly and helpful. Pasta is all made in house and available as half portions which are still plenty for one person. Make sure to check out the outstanding Italian beer list.

Authentic Italian cuisine. Each dish we had was prepared with lots of flavor and you can tell the ingredients where fresh (and local). The menu has standard/regular items i.e., pork chop, bolognese, bucatini alla matriciana. And the specials are unique. Portions are just right. The wines are mostly Italian and they have an extensive Italian beer selection. The servers are... More

My husband and I have dined at Molinari's several times and must have tried 10 different dinner entrees between us. Everything (and I do mean everything) is a good choice! There's nothing we haven't liked yet (the salmon dish with swiss chard is my personal favorite). The atmosphere is contemporary and comfortable. We'll be returning, I'm sure, many more times,...

The staff was very good and attentive, and Lee, our waiter very knowledgeable. The menu is on the short side, with some specials, but the dishes were good. The short rib was great! Drink prices are just too high for the area, and the only reason for the 4 stars.

My husband and 2 friends dined for the first time recently. The staff was very accommodating for our friend who is handicapped. Actually, the service was sweet all the way around. Where things got tricky were with drinks vs wine; salads/pizza vs entrees. The martini's were fabulous & priced @ about $11 (alittle high but decent pour). Wine, however, was... More

From our first visit we felt as if we were part of the family. Drew and Christine behind the bar, Anna at the front end and everyone in between present a feeling of welcomed warmth. The menu is contemporary and fresh, the decor is classic and cool and we've be confident every time we bring friends or family that the... More

My initial reaction to the menu on my first visit was that it was limited but to truly enjoy Molinari's one must consider and combine all the courses not just the entrees. Share several antipastis but don't miss the mussels with Italian sausage, a complex twist to a seemingly simple dish...and you must share one of their superb thin crust... More

We were visiting Bethlehem on a whim and came across this restaurant. The atmosphere has a very cozy yet modern feel. Staff is attentive and friendly. Very pleased with the food. It was flavorful yet not overpowering. The bread they give you is topped with a bit of olive oil and is excellent. The only thing I could really fault... More
