Caramella - Planet Hollywood

Caramella Brunch Review – Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas If you’re hunting for a top-tier brunch experience on the Strip, Caramella inside Planet Hollywood delivers in every category: food, service, drinks, and vibes. Let’s start with the star of the show—Brian, our waiter, who truly made the experience outstanding. He was attentive without hovering, knowledgeable about the menu, and kept the energy upbeat and welcoming the entire time. You could tell he genuinely cared about the guest experience, and it made a big difference. The food? Absolutely delicious. Everything I ordered came out perfectly timed and plated, and every bite hit the mark. From sweet to savory, the flavors were rich and well-balanced. Whether you’re going for the classics or something with a twist, the kitchen at Caramella clearly knows what it’s doing. Now, let’s talk drinks—bottomless mimosas and Bloody Marys for an extra $39 are well worth it. The pours were generous, the flavors on point, and the refills came quickly (thanks again, Brian!). Whether you’re easing into the day or keeping the party going from the night before, this is the kind of brunch that lets you live your best Vegas life. Pricing is solid for the Strip: $55 for food, and again, $39 for bottomless drinks if you’re going that route. It’s not cheap, but the quality and service make it feel like money well spent. Final Verdict: Caramella is a gem inside Planet Hollywood. Great food, top-shelf drinks, and A+ service. Ask for Brian—seriously. He’ll elevate your brunch from good to unforgettable.

We had a great dining experience!! Our waiter, sadly didn’t catch his name, but he was amazing and very informative and knowledgeable about the items on the menu!! We opted in to have the fountain viewing for $30 per person and it was worth it! We were able to view 4 fountain shows! The food was delicious! Caesar salad was the best I’ve ever had! It was a little bit on the pricey side but overall would recommend this restaurant!!

Absolutely beautiful Italian restaurant space with delicious food. Highly recommend the eggplant appetizer dish. That was recommended by our waiter and my wife loves eggplant. It was terrific. Great service, fantastic cocktails and the atmosphere was dark and cozy. The speakeasy wasn't open during our visit, but they let us check out the space anyway. Lovely and accommodating. One of our favorite restaurants during all of our Vegas trips.

I had been looking forward to dining at Caramellas since they opened on one of my many trips to Las Vegas. It was an enjoyable experience. If you are contemplating going, you should. The team that works there help to make the experience even better. Hostess, Servers and management were all terrific. My server Bryan, and his assistant Carlos, were attentive and helpful when it came to explaining the menu. There was a lady working, probably management position, who was a joy! She gave me a tour of the 'secret room' (aka Speakeasy) even though it was not open on a Tuesday evening. I had already been there on another trip, when it was hopping, so it wasn't new to me but it was still nice of her to walk me through and allow me to take pictures. Now for the food. The menu choices all look awesome. Not too many, not too few. High end restaurants should not have an extensive menu. Save those for The Cheesecake Factory! 1. The Whipped Ricotta Crostini was a 10. Delish! 2. The Stuffed Chicken Parm was disappointing. I give it a 7. Although it was smothered with sauce, which I like, the chicken itself was dry and was definitely not stuffed. It had a slice of mozz placed inside the chicken. I should have had the Chilean Sea Bass or the Manicotti. I suggest you STAY AWAY FROM THE STUFFED CHICKEN PARM unless you like dried out chicken breast. It's listed as one of the Specialties. Sorry Chef, but in order to be a Specialty, it needs to be special and outstanding. 3. The Signature Caramella Tart, a dark chocolate custard with salted caramel was a 10++. I don't normally have dessert but I can't resist anything with dark chocolate so I had it. Very pleased that I did. The other dessert options also looked terrific and can be viewed in the showcase by the candy store. (See picture in this review) The 4 stars, rather than 5, is all driven by the stuffed chicken parm. I'll go back at some point in the future and try some of the other choices. The ambience is great. There is also outdoor seating overlooking the strip. Great views of the Bellagio and the fountains.

Since I was staying at Planet Hollywood, I looked up this restaurant and thought of trying their food. The place looked amazing, and they had both patio and indoor seating. I requested a patio table for dinner, and they told me it would be ready in 15 minutes. They reserved it for me and said they would inform me once it was ready. Later, I received a text saying my table was ready, so I went back. Since I love pasta and it’s an Italian restaurant, I ordered the crab pasta (I believe it was the Blue Crab Malfaldine). It tasted really great, but the plate wasn’t hot—the dish should have been served hotter. That’s okay, though, because I loved the ambiance and the food. If they served the pasta and plate hotter, this place would easily be a 5-star experience. As for the service, it was just average—not quite what you’d expect from a high-end restaurant. However, the prices were reasonable and affordable. Overall, it’s a good place to dine. UPDATE I visited this restaurant today for dinner Last Night (tue) 07/15/2025. It says it’s open until 10 PM, but when I arrived around 9 PM, the doors were already closed. I was really surprised and disappointed, especially since I came from 25 minutes away just to enjoy the food and ambiance!! Latest Update Aug 2025 I used to come to Caramella a lot since they first opened because the ambience and food are top notch. After a while, they were closed a few times for reasons I don’t know, which was disappointing. Yesterday, I went back and they were just as awesome! Earlier, the service used to be just okay, but now with Victor who I believe moved here as the manager from Nobu Hotel in Paris everything feels different. Victor is so nice to people and I love the way he welcomes guests and takes care of customers. The service is now truly top notch, matching the quality of the food and ambience. Last night’s dinner was a wonderful surprise the food was as great as always and the service was just wow. With Victor leading the team, I can easily rate this place 5 stars. Caramella is definitely on its way to becoming number one on the Strip

The Restaurant Management Chris was superb. He knows the menu like the back of his hand and makes suggestions based on your liking. We sat at the bar and were served. I really liked the ambient lighting and environment. I would definitely return again.

Caramella was an unexpected Vegas gem! My bartender was absolutely incredible friendly, knowledgeable, and even gave me a private tour of the patio overlooking the Bellagio fountains as well as the hidden candy shop speakeasy. I went with the pre-fixe summer menu and loved every course. The Caesar salad was crisp and flavorful, the stuffed chicken parm was perfectly cooked with a rich, cheesy filling, and the tiramisu was light yet indulgent. At my bartender’s recommendation, I tried the “Instant Crush” cocktail a fun and refreshing twist on an Aperol spritz. It was the perfect complement to the meal. Between the great food, creative drinks, and the outstanding service, Caramella will definitely be a repeat stop for me in Vegas.

Such a delicious place inside of Planet Hollywood! We shared many items together. Our server was Tucker and he was very knowledgeable about the menu! The atmosphere was intimate!

All you can eat for $55 was worth it, food was amazing and big servings. Manny was our waiter and honestly the best!!!!!!!!!!! Definitely coming back!! ASK FOR MANNY!!!

Server is super sweet and knew well about the menu. For the food we enjoyed the: spicy tomato penne, chicken alla Divola, chicken parm, and garlic cheese bread! The place was also super beautiful, my favorite part are the leopards and monkeys!

This is my second trip to the Brunch at Caramella and it was OUTSTANDING to say the least! As a local resident who does not cook, I am always looking for exceptional food, great service snd and a warm and inviting atmosphere! Caramella Brunch is the best fit for all of the aforementioned I sat at the bar for brunch and the restaurant was packed! I've attached the menu and I ordered (for $55 plus tip) the following: 1) Avocado toast (mozzarella cheese fresh tomatoes and arugula on multi grain bread) (See photos) 2) Farmer's eggs (two fried eggs over easy, salad with cucumbers and tomatoes) and home fries (see photos) 3) Chicken parmigiana (huge and delicious). Dinner sized portion! (See photos) 4) Linguini with pecorino (see photo) Excellent (see photo) 5) Veal meatballs in marinara sauce. (See photo). I have enclosed the menu as it is All You Can Eat and truly the best value for your rewards (they take all of our Caesar's Rewards 1:1, as well as the local $10 every two weeks and the daily 7 Star $10)! I'll be back frequently and thank you to the staff at the bar, the manager (Lorie) and everyone else on board!

The brightest spot was the host with the short curly hair. So sweet, so responsive and professional. Followed back with us after we provided feedback about how the dining room was roasting and asked for AC to be looked it. Other bright spot was our server Isaac who thought he had many tables and it was hot and he was very busy still was kind, professional and did everything he was supposed to end to end. Not so bright spot was the prices that are not in line with the food even though it's Vegas. Calamari was over salted and nothing special. The blue crab pasta was good but too much oil/butter. The chicken Parmesan was like a brick of chicken. Not tender at all. Not enough sauce or cheese. It's supposedly stuffed with cheese but I didn't see any. Best thing we had there was the Caesar salad. Very well dressed and delicious. The tiramisu did not look legit so we didn't order it. Environment was dark and decor was crazy. Will not visit again but I'm sure for those who want something a bit crazy and oh the "speakeasy" is behind the desert counter. That's why those dudes in black suits are standing there.

I used to come to Caramella a lot since they first opened because the ambience and food are top notch. After a while, they were closed a few times for reasons I don't know, which was disappointing. Yesterday, I went back and they were just as awesome!

I think caramella should update their times for weekends. They open at 10am! I made a reservation last week but couldn't make it due to losing all my money fatigue! Lol! This place deserves a 6 stars not 5! Its absolutely incredible!!! My service was excellent! It superseded any expectations I had. Brian was awesome. A very informative and helpful server. His suggestions were impeccable! I absolutely adored and loved everything about my experience here. The food is 11/10 and the service is 11/10. First off, the decor is fabulous. Its elegant and classy inside and relaxing outside. A little disappointed the clientele that came in today were super super casual. Jeans, shorts, and outerwear that is highly inappropriate. Since we are on that subject, whatever the girl host wore was outrageously unflattering. Lmaoooooo. Let's get back to the food! Everything was divine! Best garlic bread and wait for it.... the jumbo shrimp! Utterly fantastic and totally worth its price. The spaghetti carbonara was delish! The desserts were phenomenal and the bacon was excellent! The smoky flavor from it was just too good. I want to say some of the food i had here was even better than some of the food i had when I was in Italy a long time ago! I also got the aycd bloody Mary's bc well, bloody marys!! All the aycd is 39$ extra and the extra desserts is 10$. For 55$ a person this is absolutely a divine deal and totally worth it! I had a great view of the bellagio water show and the weather was nice! A little hot but they have some fans. I will definitely come again and again and again! What a fabulous place!! Bravo!

This is 2 reviews in 1 for Caramella's. The first is for their Hidden Lounge and the second for their weekend brunch, with a 5-star rating for both! If you're staying at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, don't miss the hidden speakeasy lounge in the back of Caramella. Ask for "the candy store" and proceed to be amazed as you're lead to the back and the secret door is revealed. I had trouble locating it even afterwards, but it opens to a magical space full of energy, good wine and cocktails, plus the best DJ I've ever heard. She was so spot-on in anticipating the crowd and mixing the music to keep everything buzzing along. Our server was incredibly sweet and just enhanced the experience more. I've been a bit disappointed by other speakeasy experiences in Las Vegas, but would love to return to this one. Following our speakeasy experience, we had planned Saturday morning brunch which included AYCE of most items for $55 each. OMG, so delicious, except it was impossible to eat enough. Portions are full-size and they encourage ordering to try even if you can't finish, but we hit a wall early with all the delicious options. We tried the GINORMOUS Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail, Garlic Cheese Bread, Veal Parmesan Meatballs, Tuna Tartare Arancini, and Bacon, but this barely touched the extensive menu. While I can't recommend these items enough, I'd especially recommend arriving with a huge appetite. It's filling but delicious, and the patio view is awesome. Although we didn't take great advantage of it, we were offered coupons for unlimited mimosas on our way to the restaurant, and they allowed us to use them for Bloody Mary's/Bloody Maria's as well. The drinks were strong and spicy -- yum!

We had a wonderful dinner at Caramella on our recent Vegas trip. The cocktails were amazing- some of the best all week! We also loved the variety of food - from pasta to oysters we enjoyed it all. A few standouts were the eggplant parm and the manicotti. Finally, dessert. The tiramisu was delicious, but the 12 inch cheesecake stole the show - we were still talking about it the next day!

My husband and I had a date night as we were seeing a concert inside the casino. This was our first time in the restaurant and it's very beautiful, I love the Jaguars and the curtains and the lights. We were greeted by the hostess, who was very kind and gave us a nice seat. We found our server to be kind of odd, but he was OK. We started off with the oysters, which were very delicious we really enjoyed them very much. We had a Caesar salad to share, and it was also quite delicious. My husband and I then shared a steak together, and also enjoyed it, cooked perfectly, flavor was very nice, but very chewy lots of fat.For dessert we had a tart and it was absolutely delicious. I would come back again.

Exceptional attention to the customer and a solid 10/10 for taste, hospitality and ambiance. For an explosion of flavors in your mouth try the Garlic cheese bread, Blue Crab Mafaldine with a side of fresh lemon slices for a little pop of citrus, and the salted caramel tart. Penny and Cesar were such a joy to be served by. They were kind and attentive. Quick and overall so sweet. Penny was the cherry on top in the overall experience. I will be back!

I am giving this place 4 stars instead of 5 because we've been here twice and the first time was GREAT, while the second time was not. The first time we came, the food was great, the service was pretty decent, and the restaurant was popping for brunch on a Sunday. The second time we came, we were told the gas wasn't working, so they weren't currently service any food. Imagine our disappointment when we learned we drove ALL the way down to the strip, only to be told they weren't really open... the thing that bothered me most about this was that we had reservations, so they should've at least started calling people with reservations and letting them know what the situation was rather than letting them come all the way out and then telling them. We'll try the brunch here again - I can't wait for more of the fresh oysters and the drool worthy cheesy garlic bread!!

Caramella now includes $55 per person AYCE brunch. We were seated within 5 meetings at their outdoor seating with a view of the strip. The AYCE is not buffet style. Customers must order off their menu, some items have a surcharge. The con is the time it takes to order/be served. To me It felt like they were taking long on purpose so you would become full & not order anymore. We had to ask why a few of our items were taking so long to arrive. The shrimp cocktail tasted amazing, we ordered this several times.

Caramel is relatively new (12/2024) and they offer a delightful array of Italian dishes. They have the option to sit on the patio which gives an excellent view of the Bellagio fountain and you can watch the show--if you can stand the heat of the summer days! We decided to split a few items and it was perfect. The taste of each dish was lovely and the appetizers were quite filling. We had excellent service and the ambiance was quite posh. I can't wait to come here again. * Prosciutto appetizer ***** * Eggplant Parmigiana ***** * Sea Bass *****

Place is located in the Planet Hollywood Casino which was just a short walking distance from where we were staying. Place is like unassumingly large. Ambience is formal/casual dining. Although the service by the waitstaff was superb. Manny was our lead server who was very attentive along with his team as far as making sure we had our water cups full at all times. Manny made his recommendations and also suggested upfront to best experience the meals family style. So we did. Glad we took his advice. Even if the meals appear to be small for family style, it was the perfect amount of food for our table of 3. We ordered the Blue Crab pasta (my daughter's favorite) it was light and lemony; the sea bass (my husbands favorite) it too had a light lemony flavor; and bolognese (my favorite) it reminded me of childhood for some reason. It's hearty but so flavorful. We also shared appetizer and desserts: fig with prosciutto which was delicious. The carmalized fig was amazing with that added crunch to the dish. Tiramisu & budino that was recommended by Manny. This was surprisingly good with the cream brûlée topped with grapefruit. Fresh & light. We will absolutely be back.

Out of tow. For work, in the busiest city and just wanted a quiet spot, and some great food! The cutest little Italian Bistro on the Strip! So amazing, felt like home! I sat in the bar, and the Bartender asked a few questions about what I like and the rest was done, loved the suggestions!

We had the pleasure of dining at Caramella last night. The ambiance was super fun and detailed. It didn't feel like an Italian restaurant, but still some cool decor. Our server was spot on! Took basically all his recommendations, and made our experience smooth. Drinks: $25 each and it's basically a moscow mule and grey hound. I wound pass on the expensive cocktails and opt for wine or beer. Food: Crab Malfadine: 9/10: so much crab and flavorful! Crispy Porchetta: 7/10 it needed a little more crisp, but still flavorful. If you don't like onions their chimichurri is filled with it. Branzino: 5/10: listen it was cooked perfectly, but it was lacking seasoning and sauce. Formaggi mashed potatoes: 1/10: this is a personal opinion. It was barely crispy and mushy. Not great ** BUT the manager was kind of enough to remove off check** The experience was good. Not sure if I would return, but def want to check out their speakeasy.

Caramella's was fantastic!! We were looking for an Italian restaurant close to the show we had tickets for. See searched Yelp and found Caramella's. I think this is our new favorite restaurant. The atmosphere was just fancy enough to be special without being too formal. Our server Crystal was so pleasant and was patient with all our questions. We started off we the cheesy garlic bread appetizers. Thinking we would save some to enjoy with our pasta... Lol it was so good we almost ate it all. I'm glad we didn't because then we'd have no room for the pasta. I ordered the cavatelli Bolognese. Homemade cavatelli!!! It was perfect!. Hubby had the blue crab mafaldine. It had big lumps of crab and the sauce was light and flavorful. Topped it off with a nice glass of wine and we were set. Don't miss this restaurant.

It was getting late, so we went with some friends to eat before they closed for the night. The food was pretty good; I ate everything put in front of me. The staff was attentive and on point. The interior was dark but stylish. Some crazy guy ran through the restaurant yelling security (I guess calling security on himself?) That was a bit entertaining, and a good reminder that we are in Vegas lol. The chicken Parm was on point and did not disappoint and the mashed potatoes were excellent too. Overall, we had a nice experience. I think there is a speak easy near the candy shop out front. Would love to check that out next time I am in the area.

Caramella is hands down one of the best hidden gems inside Planet Hollywood. I went in for brunch and was seriously impressed from start to finish. The space feels chic yet welcoming, with a lively energy that makes you want to linger a little longer. Brunch was outstanding--creative dishes that go way beyond the standard eggs-and-bacon routine. Everything tasted fresh and beautifully plated, and the drinks? Perfectly balanced, fun, and Instagram-worthy without sacrificing flavor. It's the kind of brunch that makes you want to order "just one more" dish to share at the table. But the real surprise was the speakeasy tucked inside. The transition from bright, buzzy brunch to a moody, intimate cocktail lounge was such a cool experience. Behind those doors, you get a completely different vibe--dim lighting, craft cocktails that feel like a show in themselves, and bartenders who clearly know their stuff. It felt exclusive without being pretentious, and it capped the whole visit perfectly. If you're staying on the Strip, Caramella gives you two experiences in one--brunch to fuel the day, and a speakeasy to close it out. A total win in my book.

The Candy Shop is by far one of my favorite stops while on the strip! I bring everyone here. Jarrod takes such great care of us every time. My favorite part is how incredibly friendly EVERYONE is. Like wherever you go there's always an employee greeting you!! From inside the restaurant to the speakeasy lounge the aesthetic and environment is posh, classy, and still feels fun and welcoming. It's a great place to go for a night out--- even for a local like me! The speakeasy is my favorite with the showcase of the candy store door. There's always a DJ or live performer and the best jams always play. Drinks in there are amazing, and the bartenders have always done a great job. There's even yummy complimentary candy on the table tops. I can't say better things about this place! I come way too often for a vegas local

This spot screams Vegas Italian chic. From the moment we walked in, the energy was on point--super trendy crowd, great music, stylish interior, and some seriously gorgeous views. Think date night meets influencer hotspot. Service? Flawless. Friendly, attentive, and polished. They know how to make you feel like a high roller. Now for the food... It was fine. Not bad, just nothing to write Nonna about. For the price, we expected more depth and flavor from the mains. But the cheese bread? Chef's kiss--oozing with quality Italian cheeses. The cheesecake came out looking like a slice from the gods--huge and delicious. And the drinks? Bold pours and beautifully made. Go for the vibe, stay for the drinks, cheese bread, and dessert. Just don't expect the pasta to change your life.

Located upstairs in the Planet Hollywood where Koi used to be. We had reservations, but we had to wait a little bit until our table of 9 was ready for us. The eventually sat us in a private room area, which was pretty cool but we did worry about if they would forget about us in there. Waiter was super nice and helpful. Staff were good with filling up your water. We had the cheese bread which was so good! Highly recommend it. Also had the crab pasta which was so good! The only thing with some of the food was that they weren't hot. Little bit room temperature, borderline cold, like it was sitting for too long. The food did actually take a very long time to come. I wouldn't recommend coming too hungry. We did let the waiter know at the end about our food and the manager came by to apologize. They were very accommodating for what happened. We were so hungry that we just wanted to eat, so we didn't leave any food behind. Food was actually very good, despite the wait time.

Fantastic food and fantastic service! We had the veal meatballs, manicotti, bone marrow, grilled octopus and crab pasta. The grilled octopus was tender and on a bed of green salsa, very well made. The veal meatballs had a cheesey center and came with a marinara sauce and parmigiana cheese. I saw they have real truffle available but I didn't try it. The staff is so friendly. Our waiter was Bradford but the rest of the staff also treated us very well and checked in with us. The restaurant is decorated in a 1970s, swanky theme. Located on the 2nd floor.

Caramella is a hidden gem inside Planet Hollywood--elevated yet inviting, with a swanky atmosphere that makes for a perfect night out in Vegas. From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch, we were brightly greeted by Penny and the ambiance struck back in time to the 70s. It was a beautiful sight to see. We started with the garlic bread, and wow--fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside, and loaded with rich, garlicky goodness. Served with Pesto and marinara. Special diet and Allergy have no fear, at this point we were asked 3 times about allergies before this pesto was put before us. The Caesar salad was fresh and well-balanced, with just the right amount of dressing and crunch. Croutons were freshly made. For mains, the Salmon Al Forno was cooked to perfection, flaky and flavorful, with a slight crunch with a sweetness that went away very quickly. It was delightful. While the crab pasta was indulgent, creamy, and packed with fresh crab. Every bite was pure decadence! Love the princess hair pasta, nothing like you have seen in the store. To finish, we had the Budino, which was the perfect sweet ending--silky smooth with a perfectly torched sugar crust. Overall, Caramella delivered an incredible dining experience with great food, ambiance, and service. Definitely a must-visit if you're in Vegas and looking for a high-end Italian spot! The Decor is to die for. Every corner was thought of. Rock hounds unite, so many different granites and onyx laid around. Many fun pieces you could only get away with in Las Vegas. It's a vibe, it is Fabulous.

Came back about a month later and tried some new dishes and drinks!!! We sat outside and sat in he first few tables towards the inner patio and weren't charged the $30 per person usually required to sit outside with a good view of the strip. Either way it was relaxing and had a good view of the strip and fountains. Food wise we tried the Cavatelli dish and the Chicken Diavolla and both were delicious. The Cavatelli is made in house and it had a good consistency and flavor and the veal gave it a good meaty flavor. The chicken diavolla was also delicious, it wasn't dry and the sauce and peppers gave it a good spicy flavor. Would come back alone for the New York Cheesecake (enough for at least 3 people). Our waiter was good again, we got the same one as last time and he is super friendly and comes by to check on us often, overall another great experience!!!

We recently went to the speakeasy inside Caramella and it did not disappoint. When you enter the space you're greeted by the beautiful bar and bartenders. Everyone was so nice and Aeri was the best! Make sure to request her when you're there. She'll take care of you. It felt like your own personal disco with plush seating. The disco ball at the center of the space was perfect. Also, the music was great! I'm not sure if the DJ that was there that night is their regular DJ, but I hope he is. My only initial disappointment was the drink I ordered, "Agave Maria". I wasn't a fan of the taste with the watermelon element, but I was able to get another one that was perfect. Overall, I can't wait to go back.

I came here while visiting Las Vegas and ordered the Bolognese and calamari. The interior decor is nice, but it's a shame that they don't let you sit outside on the patio unless you have a small party (less than five I believe). I likely would not return here as I've had better pasta (even at Eataly in park MGM) for a fraction of the price. The service was attentive and this could be a good spot to grab cocktails.

This was a nice experience overall, but everything just felt a little off. We made a reservation online. When we arrived the hostess recommended we try the lounge behind the hidden door in the candy store. As we walked through the candy store she explained that it's all real candy but none of it is for sale. Ok... Kinda odd. We enjoyed some cocktails in the cool speakeasy lounge which has a 70s theme. The instant crush cocktail was very good. The cotton candy cocktail was disappointing as there was no cotton candy visible as listed on the menu. The server said the cotton candy was already inside. The hostess said she would come get us when the table was ready. She never did. Eventually I went back to the host stand to discover the table was ready. Our server Carol was ok, but she seemed to do the absolute minimum. While I saw other servers welcoming guests and going over the menu and highlighting certain dishes, Carol did none of that. She also did not check up on us very often. Water glasses often sat empty for extended periods of time. There is no complimentary bread offered with the meal which is frankly shocking for a strip restaurant of this caliber. We did order the garlic cheese bread which was probably the highlight of the meal. Wonderful garlic bread stuffed with cheese. I am not a cheese person, but I really enjoyed it! We also had the shrimp cocktail. The shrimp was fresh and sweet, and the accompanying sauces were good (I preferred the cocktail sauce to the aioli). We tried the classic Caesar. I told our server we wanted to split the Caesar. When it arrived it was in one bowl with a large spoon (?) and no other dishes or cutlery. I had to flag Carol down to get dishes and silverware. No fresh ground pepper was offered either (I had to ask Carol twice for this - she eventually brought it). The salad itself was very good with a very flavorful and authentic dressing. I had the branzino entree with roasted broccoli as a side dish. The branzino was good but honestly lacked very much flavor. The broccoli was crunchy and sprinkled with cheese and overall decent. We ordered two desserts - the classic Caramella tart and the tiramisu. Only the former dessert arrived. It was very good with a nice balance of dark chocolate and caramel. Also, this was a birthday celebration dinner. The birthday was acknowledged by the hostess, but that was it. There was absolutely no other mention of it - nothing from the server, no candle in the dessert, no nothing. I would've loved to give feedback real time during the meal, but no manager ever visited to check on us (or anyone that I could see). So, some of the experience here was good and some was not. Maybe it's growing pains since they only opened about six weeks ago. Maybe we will wait and give them another try...

Always excited to try a new restaurant. My host, Eddie recommended me this & I wanted something different than Carbone. This place was pretty good. I give it a 5 stars on the savory, but the dessert was lacking. Loved the drinks concepts, so I give it a 5/5 for the drinks. Onto the food! Calamari: perfect portion and not too bready 5/5 Cavatelli bolognese: my partner really liked it. 5/5 Rib eye: cooked to perfection. Didn't need sauce 5/5 Mascarpone creamed spinach: this was interesting, but too cheesy for me 4/5 Caramella tart: this was good, but I hardly go for chocolate much. 4/5. I wish there was more of a variety for desserts. The place is super cute for date night. Our reservation was at 730, but we got seated more than 30 minutes late. We did check out the speakeasy in the back, but there was no where to sit. Cute place overall especially located in Planet Hollywood.

We stopped in here after my husband's friend's wedding reception, it was late and they were still open and would take us before closing. The ambiance was fancy, the service was great and the server was attentive and gave us a full description of specials. The food was delicious, we ordered the stuffed chicken parmesan and chicken alla diavola. My chicken was tasty but the portion was very small and light for the price...$49. We also got a side of mashed potatoes that were good. I was expecting more out of the food from here, for an Italian restaurant the portions should be bigger and flavorful, and bread should be included, not $24. There is a hidden speakeasy behind the dessert shop, we may check out if we come back.

Such a beautiful newly open restaurant that you can oversee the strip for people watching and enjoy the Bellagio fountain. Even the patio area is not open due to the weather, you are still welcome to enjoy the view there. The food is unfortunately hit and miss. The sea bass and tuna are so good. Must have!!! The garlic bread is amazing, too! The pork and creamy spinach are seriously so greasy. Totally can pass them. The reginette is very enjoyable. The rest dishes from my pictures are mediocre. The speakeasy is very busy and with vibes.

It was great! Caramella Italian Restaurant is a romantic Italian escape on the second floor of Planet Hollywood, Caramella offers an inviting ambiance for Italian. Although reservations are available, we walked in as a group of four and were seated immediately. The restaurant's atmosphere is low-lit, romantic, and calming. We were seated at a cozy table in the back, with the glittering Las Vegas lights, added as a stunning backdrop, the perfect table! Our server was highly knowledgeable and spent about 15 minutes walking us through the menu in great detail. While I appreciated their thoroughness, it did feel a bit lengthy. However, the service throughout the evening was impeccable, attentive, professional, and customer-focused. For food, we decided to sample a few appetizers as we were heading out for the night. We ordered the cheese bread, veal meatballs, calamari, and steak tartare. Here's the breakdown: * The garlic, cheese bread was warm and tasty with each bite, paired with a pesto and marinara dipping sauce that complemented it perfectly. * The calamari, lacked flavor for me. * The veal parmigiano meatball was not to my liking, but it might suit others with different tastes. * The wagyu tartare was decent. While the food had its highs and lows, the overall dining experience at Caramella was enjoyable. The restaurant's beautiful setting, attentive staff, and romantic atmosphere made it great. Would I return? Yes, for the ambiance and service and perhaps to explore their entrées next time while in Las Vegas.

Everything was absolutely delicious and there is still so much more I want to try! The servers were so nice and really helpful with their recommendations since this is a totally new restaurant. I would highly recommend the crab pasta dish as I've never seen anything like it on other menus. All of the decor was thoughtfully put together and even the plates were super cute. Make sure to check out the hidden lounge (enter through the candy shoppe) to check out their other cocktails you can't get in the restaurant. The piña colada foam from the Vice and Virtue is truly a unique and delicious experience!

I decided on a whim to try this on my final night in Las Vegas--this past Friday. Staying at Fontainebleau, I was leaving a fantastic Italian restaurant (Mother Wolf) to try Caramella, but I had been following their development and opening on Facebook so I had to stop. I made a reservation for 1, got there a few minutes early and received a warm and welcome greeting from both ladies at the host stand. The one (I assume a manager) escorted me to the restroom as they got my table ready. Fantastic service from the hostess team! My gut told me to cancel my reservation or ask the hostesses to move it to the bar. I just knew my service would be better there, however I wanted the full experience so I stayed at the table. Great vibe in the bar dining area. While my server was nice enough, I believe he was overwhelmed. Both tables on either side of me departed soon after I arrived, and they weren't sat again for awhile, but still he couldn't seem to keep up. When they finally sat those two tables, not only was I still neglected, it took him at least 15-20 minutes to greet them properly and fulfill their drink orders. Thank God for the assistant server who was super friendly, attentive and present. She kept my water glass refilled while I waited for my main server to return several times. The meatballs were pretty good, not great but I would order again. The manicotti could've been better, especially with some salt in the filling! My Negroni tasted good and was made properly. It took awhile to get the server to acknowledge that I needed a box, bag and the check. Unfortunately I couldn't wait to leave at that point. I gave him my rewards card along with my payment card and asked him to add my points to which he obliged, but he never did per my rewards account balance. There are so many great choices for upscale Italian in Vegas, Caramella is gonna have to step it up if they want to maintain. They have so much potential, and I will probably stop back during the summer when they have a few months under their belt. (PS, I stopped into the speakeasy with the help of the friendly young lady at the candy wall, but it was super packed so I opted not to stay, but will come again.)

AbWe were really looking forward to trying Caramello at Planet Hollywood, especially for our anniversary, but it ended up being a letdown. The cavatelli was the only handmade pasta on the menu, and it was incredibly hard and dense--basically inedible. The porchetta was super dry in the middle. Service was also an issue. Only one server was working the entire patio, so things were slow and we felt overlooked. We were there for a special occasion and it was never acknowledged--until I mentioned it myself on the way out. For two dishes, our total was $85 with tip. Disappointing experience overall. Not worth the price or the hype.

Why is everything so salty these days? Most of our dishes we ordered were either too salty or wasn't up to expectation. The octopus leg tasted so burnt and so salty. Is it the brine they use? They need to look into that. Believe it or not one dish can ruin the whole entire experience because now you have to wait longer for the food to be remade. If it's pre brined, then it's a waste of time because it'll taste the same. The other dishes were okay but not worth the money paid. The pork belly and the mushrooms were a bit too salty too. It's a host comp since we always go to dinner with him. If it wasn't, we wouldn't of bothered going there. The restaurant cosmetically was beautiful and the staff there were very friendly.

We had such a fantastic dining experience at Caramella Restaurant! From the moment we sat down, our waiter Michael made the evening memorable. He was warm, personable, and really knew the menu inside and out. His recommendations were spot on--especially the crispy porchetta, which was perfectly done, and the King crab legs scampi, which was absolutely delicious. If you have a chance, try the La Granita cocktail. It was refreshing, balanced, and one of the best cocktails I've had in a long time. The combination of incredible food and Michael's top-notch service made this meal stand out. If you come to Caramella, definitely ask for him--you won't be disappointed!

Good food, good drinks, and good vibes... Oysters were fresh and not fishy. One critique is that some of them were quite sandy and that's just something you shouldn't see at a place like this. I think the pasta dishes on the menu could use a bit more creativity or variation, but they were so good for what they were. The veal was cooked to perfection. So juicy and tender. The mushroom sauce it is paired with was just so damn delicious, I ran the fries right through it so it wouldn't go to waste. The steak (not pictured) was cooked well, although it was definitely overcharred. Each bite always tasted burnt until you got to the middle part of the bite. Definitely needs some work here. Our servers were super attentive and the noise level of the whole place wasn't too loud, which is a big plus for me. Can't wait to come back and try the other stuff!

This spot is located inside the Planet Hollywood Hotel. We had a great experience at Caramella overall, though there's one important detail they forgot to mention, which is very important if you're dining with kids: their tiramisu dessert contains alcohol. The restaurant had a classy and upscale vibe. While they didn't mind our casual attire, I'd avoid wearing a hoodie next time--it felt a bit out of place. It might have even led to the server's odd comment: "The steak fries don't come with steak," It's ironic that the server made a point to clarify, "The steak fries don't come with steak," but failed to mention that the tiramisu dessert ordered by an 11-year-old contains alcohol. Luckily when the dessert was brought out, the server rushed to our table and told us that it contained alcohol. Yup, Kid had to skip dessert that night. Anywho.. The Bone in ribeye steak was delicious--crispy (burnt) on the outside but still flavorful. I added a lobster tail, though it was overcooked and chewy. The real highlight was the pasta! Small portion but super tasty! (Rigatoni alla Gricia) The king crab legs were slightly too salty for my taste. P.S. There's a speakeasy bar cleverly hidden behind the candy wall.

Cocktails are very well made, try their dirty martini with the basil oil and pickled onion. You won't regret it. Staff is amazing and very helpful. Decor is very retro and a great Las Vegas experience.

We didn't eat at the restaurant. We were staying across the street and I had never been to Planet Hollywood so we decided to walk over and check it out we walked through and we were just moseying around looking around and we saw that they had an outdoor area so we thought maybe we could get a drink and sit on the outdoor patio at the restaurant but the restaurant was closed And someone was inside by the dessert so we looked at the desserts and they looked phenomenal and she was like oh the restaurants closed but our speakeasies open and we were like where is that and she opened up the wall and we went in there and the name is slipping my mind but it was so cute the music was fun the vibe was fun it's very dark people were dancing And we got a drink and hung out for a while and it was just a perfect night of roaming around and stumbling up upon the speakeasy

Didn't visit the restaurant, rather, we visited the secret speakeasy behind the candy shelf in the candy store. This, in and of itself, made it worth checking out. Dark, loungy type of place, which was cool. They had a DJ doing the music, but it wasn't that strip club type of DJ...he made it mellow, yet very up tempo. We could still hear each other talk. Service was great, we were waited on immediately, and the drinks came to us quickly. It's a Vegas, upscale craft cocktail lounge, so the drinks were very expensive (to my Midwest bank account, anyway). They were quite tasty, and we enjoyed checking this place out. Highly recommend.

This review is for the hidden lounge located in the candy shop at the back of the restaurant. We never tried any of the food so can't write about that. The wall of candy is actually a door that let's you into a tiny space with a 70s vibe, from the kitschy wall paper to the disco ball hanging in the center of the room. We had made reservations, but they never asked for our name, just sent us into the back. It's very dark in there with couches and tables spread around. The DJ booth also looks like a disco ball and the waitresses were all wearing dresses that could have doubled for disco balls. We had to use the light from our phone to read the menu which was several pages long with signature cocktails, spirits, beer, and wine. Our waitress asked if we had any questions, but we knew what we wanted. The service came out fairly quickly and were delicious. We sat back and watched the waitresses. They all seemed engaged with their tables. This was a fun place and we'd go back.

100% a must visit in Las Vegas! If you request a table outside, you will have a perfect view of the Bellagio Fountain shows as well as the strip. The restaurant is super trendy & the food is out of this world. All members of staff were super friendly and a huge shout out to Michael & Rosa who were looking after us tonight - the best service we have ever had in a restaurant and their knowledge of the menu and restaurant was impeccable. Amazing dining experience!

Excellent rooftop outside dining with amazing service! Joshua was very attentive and informative about the selections. Opted for the meatballs and they did not disappoint. Sauce was not too sweet & had a good balance of basil & garlic. Garlic truffle bread was delicious and the basil pesto & marinara side car was a perfect pairing. We are not huge crab fans but would order the blue crab pasta again. Not heavy or overpowering sauce. Was cooked Al dente and sauce was light and a delight with the delicious crab meat! Tiramisu was not too sweet but not enough expresso in my personal opinion. Not the best but not the worst.

Giving 5 stars though I do think the prices were still a bit high for the serving size. That said the service was incredible, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Highly recommend for any special occasion. Ask for the fountain view seating!

Outdoor seating with a view. The ambiance of this new restaurant is 10/10. Service was excellent!! The design and food go hand in hand. Caramella is located in Planet Hollywood Casino. The upper level. Parking is available for a fee either self parking or valet. They offer seating with a view of the Bellagio Fountain for a small fee. You can also have outdoor seating with no fee both have good strip views. The calamari was my favorite and seasoned to perfection. The lobster and can crab leg dish were both delicious. Great drinks. They offer complimentary dessert for special occasions. Definitely try this new Italian restaurant you won't be disappointed.

My friend and I got a brunch reservation at Caramella on a whim, and it was our favorite meal of our trip. There were so many delicious options for the AYCE brunch. I also ordered the cafe paradiso cocktail and am confident it was my favorite espresso martini ever. Our favorite dishes were the tuna tartare arancini and the cheesy bread! We would come back here every time we're in Las Vegas. Our waiter, Brian, was also awesome!

This is a beautiful restaurant, an elegant indoors with a patio at the back overlooking the Strip (awesome area to sit!). Our server was excellent, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Ambiance and service were two big pluses. The food was good; especially enjoyed the appetizers, both the garlic cheese bread and whipped ricotta. Our mains were somewhat misses considering the staggering price associated with them; the chicken parmesan was relatively bland and forgettable, while the baked manicotti and spicy penne were good but not great. We tried a number of desserts, ranging from average cheesecake and tiramisu to an absolutely outstanding budino. Overall, a great Strip experience, but with prices that make you think twice.
