Carbone Riviera Opens at Bellagio Las Vegas With Yacht Rides and Fountain Views | Eater Vegas
"Created by Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi, and Jeff Zalaznick, the brand first arrived in Las Vegas a decade ago with a location at Aria and quickly became one of the city’s toughest reservations — known as much for its spicy rigatoni vodka and veal Parmesan as for its throwback glamour and celebrity appeal. Marking a new chapter with a sharper focus on seafood, the upcoming lakeside outpost (developed in partnership between Major Food Group and MGM Resorts International) will feature a centerpiece display showcasing Dungeness and king crab, oysters, langoustines, ricci di mare sea urchins, and razor clams sprawled over ice. Daily flown-in seafood will support whole-fish preparations like salt-baked branzino and grilled Dover sole, while signature dishes from the original menu — including spicy lobster meatballs and spicy rigatoni vodka — will appear alongside a decadent two-pound lobster pasta. The opening this fall in the storied former Picasso dining room makes this the group’s fourth Vegas restaurant, joining Parm at Aria and Sadelle’s at the same lakeside resort." - Janna Karel
