Bugatti’s Steak & Pasta

Love this place. Santino was the server, came by and checked on me regularly. Food was delicious and the bread and butter was great too.

Hmmm… Let’s set standards. As a steakhouse inside of a casino in the middle of nowhere then this place is decent. Set anywhere else and I have to say eh.
Overpriced for the quality of the food. I’m sure to most patrons here (my parents included unfortunately) this is pretty fancy. The food was just okay and service kind of sucked.
What grinds my gear is that they double charged on the alcohol charging both on the bill for my dad’s promotion or comp and also separately because it wasn’t supposed to be covered on the comp.
Suffice it to say, I don’t care if the dinner is comped. It’s a waste of gas and my time for this place.

i realize that hitting the steakhouse of a NW Indiana casino on a Tuesday night, in most cases, would be a ‘miss’ type of sitch, but not at Bugatti’s. This Italian steakhouse was a ‘Hit’ with this mob.
A tasty GIANT glass of malbec for $ 8, a big salad with all trimmings and outstanding dressing, a full loaf of fresh baked bread for every 3 people, and I went all out and got the lobster tail with asparagus as my side. And though I did not partake in the steak, I can tell you from seeing the plates of a few of my fellow diners that did, that I’m pretty sure it was bear steak, because that b was freakin’ HUGE!
Everything I had far exceeded my expectations and the lobster tail was exactly how I like it– big & thick. I successfully negated the the 7.5 miles I ran today by dipping it salty butter… but it was worth it.
For dessert, my group pretty much split one of everything they had. My recos– get the chocolate cake, get the carrot cake, get the apple cobbler.
Now go forth (to Ameristar), win big (in the casino), and eat well (at Bugatti’s).

Dined here recently and was welcomed by the chef and manager. The bread was fresh and plentiful (my favorite combination). All of the food was excellent. The sea bass and lasagna were «slap your mama» good! I ate here right after Thanksgiving which probably made me a gluttonous fool but my tummy was so happy! The portions are plentiful. The service was good and prompt; the waiter suggested a very good red wine. I will definitely go back.

I kinda had high expectations for this place and it wasn‘t that great. I ordered the Chicken Cacciatore which was o.k. I thought it could of been better. I don‘t like grilled chicken with Italian pastas. I think it takes away from the origianl flavor. My dish was on point with the spinach, mushrooms and cheese‘s but that dam grilled chicken took away from the whole dish.
On the other hand, my mother ordered Chicken Penne with roasted garlic sauce. Pretty good buuut they added that dam grilled chicken, which took away from the flavor. The restaurant is beautiful and it’s located inside the casino Ameristar (formerly Resorts and Harrah’s) so once this place robs you, you could step outside and gamble and get robbed again. The prices are not reasonable at all. Extremely expensive and the food isn’t that great for what they charge at least I thought. Maybe they were being lazy and put grilled chicken in every dish. I’ve had better and cheaper Italian food, or maybe cause it was cheap it tasted better ! Curse grilled chicken !!!

I was just here last night with my parents and my Grandma and it was pretty darn delicious. It just recently turned into an Italian restaurant and thank goodness it did! It’s located inside of the Ameristar Casino in East Chicago, IN. (formerly Resorts and Harrah’s before that, etc.) and it used to be more of a steakhouse/​seafood place called The Waterfront Grill. It was quite good then as well, but it’s even better now. I would say it’s probably twice as good as it was then, and that’s saying a lot because like I said it was good then too. It’s just that back then there was only one pasta dish on the entire menu and it was not that great of one and was a very small portion. Now there are great pasta dishes galore to choose from! Plus there’s still Steak and Seafood if you so desire not to get the pasta for some odd reason. LoL. Anyways, I highly recommend this place! Oh, and the prices have gone down a little since the transition of the style of restaurant has taken place, so that’s a good thing as well. It’s still a somewhat fancy place and they still serve wine. The only thing I miss about the old place is the Lobster Bisque, but I did notice something called Lobster Cappuccino which may be similar. I will check on that next time, because I will for sure be going back!
