First Impression
You walk off the Park MGM casino floor and into what feels like a Florentine farmhouse that somehow got its act together — dark wood, wood-burning fire, and a wine list thick enough to double as a doorstop. This is Italian wine taken seriously in a city that usually treats the list as an afterthought. The Best of Award of Excellence since 2023 isn't a surprise once you crack the cover.
Selection Deep Dive
Three hundred to five hundred bottles deep and almost entirely focused on Italy, which is exactly the right call for a restaurant called Toscana. The headliners are legitimately stacked: Sassicaia from Tenuta San Guido, Ornellaia, Tignanello from Antinori, and Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino sitting alongside Casanova di Neri's version — that's a Brunello double feature most wine bars can't pull off. Piedmont gets proper respect too, with Giacomo Conterno and Gaja both represented in Barolo, which is the kind of pairing that tells you someone is curating this list with intention. The Bolgheri Super Tuscan section and Allegrini Amarone round out a list that covers Italy's serious ground without getting lost in novelty.
By the Glass
Twenty to thirty-five options by the glass is a genuinely strong program — enough variety that you can work through the Italian peninsula course by course if you want. We'd expect rotating pours from the Chianti Classico Riserva tier and Bolgheri producers to show up here alongside more accessible entry points. The depth of the bottle list suggests the glass pours aren't an afterthought, though confirming live rotation is worth a quick ask to Dylan Henderson.
Chianti Classico Riserva, Castello di Ama — $50-$70
In a list anchored by Sassicaia and Gaja, Castello di Ama's Chianti Classico Riserva is the sleeper — serious Sangiovese with real structure, none of the markup that comes with the famous labels, and it drinks beautifully against the wood-fired kitchen. It's the move for anyone who wants Tuscany without the trophy-wine price tag.
Amarone della Valpolicella, Allegrini
Most tables at Toscana are going straight for the Super Tuscans — and fair enough — but Allegrini's Amarone is the one worth lingering on. It's big, it's dark, it demands a fire-grilled cut of meat, and it tends to get overlooked when Ornellaia is sitting right next to it on the list. Don't overlook it.
Barolo, Gaja
Gaja makes extraordinary wine and no one is disputing that — but in a Las Vegas resort restaurant, the markup on a name this famous is going to hurt. You're paying for the label recognition as much as the juice. The Giacomo Conterno Barolo is the better call if you want serious Piedmont without the premium that Gaja's brand commands in this zip code.
Brunello di Montalcino, Casanova di Neri + Bistecca alla Fiorentina
This one writes itself. The Casanova di Neri Brunello — full-bodied, built on Sangiovese Grosso with serious backbone — meets the char and weight of a wood-fired Florentine steak and neither one backs down. It's the most Tuscan thing you can do at this table and you will not regret it.
🔥 The Bottom Line
Toscana is the real deal in a city full of wine lists that phone it in — a focused, deep Italian program with sommelier Dylan Henderson to guide you through it. Strip pricing is real, but if you're going to spend money on Italian wine in Las Vegas, this is where you do it.
