Caramella Italian Restaurant & Lounge

This is a great Italian restaurant. Beautiful decor and music. It feels like you are walking into the 70's but a little more modern. Calamari was excellent. Spicy tomato penne and chicken diavolia were great. After the meal go over to the candy shop and knock. They'll open the secret door for the speakeasy bar. Great cocktails and we had a way too much in the speakeasy. Don't miss out on it.

Ask for Johnny “Sin City.” Tell him I sent you. You’ll thank me later. I wasn’t sure what to expect here. I knew my friend Johnny works at the restaurant, but as a part-Sicilian Northeasterner who’s lived in LA for 8 years, Italian food has to work extra hard to impress me. I fully expected to be disappointed… I was wrong. Completely wrong. This place ended up being incredibly fun — from the speakeasy bar hidden behind the candy counter to the outdoor veranda overlooking the Strip. Perfect spot for our group of five hungry bodybuilders visiting from Chicago and Boston. We ordered everything family-style, and here are the standouts: ⭐ Must-Orders • Garlic Cheese Bread The absolute star of the night. We ordered it three times. Whatever they put in this, it’s magical. Even our lactose-intolerant friend jumped in. • Cavatelli Bolognese My second favorite. The pasta shape and sauce are a perfect match. I don’t think I can go back to bolognese on spaghetti or penne after this. • Veal Parmigiano Meatballs Soft, rich, flavorful, and—thankfully—without the excessive breadcrumb filler so many places use. We ordered three plates. ❌ Miss of the Meal • Chicken Parmigiano All three plates were dry. Surprisingly so. Easily the weakest part of the night. 🍰 Dessert Redemption The cheesecake saved the ending — huge slice, great flavor, and worth sharing (or not). Despite one miss, everything else was outstanding, and the overall experience was fantastic. I’ll definitely be back. And seriously — ask for Johnny “Sin City.” He’ll take care of you.

What an exceptional dining experience at this Italian restaurant I discovered on the Strip. It offers a wonderful selection of authentic Italian dishes alongside a steakhouse menu. The oysters were remarkably fresh; I could taste the ocean! The garlic mozzarella bread was made to order and baked to perfection, and the Caesar salad was truly perfect in its balance with all those fresh ingredients; it was absolutely the best I've ever had. For my main course, the 14-oz dry-aged NY steak was expertly charred - rare. I also couldn't resist ordering their Spicy Penne entree as a side dish (LOL), which was cooked Al Dente and so delicious. My only regret was being too full to try the Tiramisu, a consequence of ordering two entrees! I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in Vegas and looking for a fantastic meal, a fantastic fine-dining experience in services, and more... Shout-outs to the amazing manager, Louisa, who checked on me five times to ensure all my expectations were exceeded while sharing some pleasantries; my server, John, for his wonderful service, along with other staff members who helped solidify the experience of my initial visit. Thank you!!! I love the background 80s’ music! ❤️ SEE YOU SOON!

What an incredible experience we had at this restaurant. We had heard the food was great but it was another level of fantastic. We started with the Polenta appetizer topped with mushrooms, and a fennel Salad that had a different twist and was superb. For entrees the Sea Bass was so moist yet flaky with tasty spices and seasoning. The veal bolognese pasta was delicious made with fresh homemade noodles. Now for service, we had an enthusiastic, yet professional server named Jimmy. He went above and beyond and even found out what company designed the restaurant for us after we complemented the style and artwork. It’s beautiful inside with an Italian twist on the 1970’s. Can’t wait to go back! Kudos to the chef…real talent!

We had a great intimate dinner here. The ambiance was very relaxed but the 70's music that was playing through the speakers added a nice vibe. Our food and service was great. Isaac did a great job and he provided some excellent recommendations. The Spicy Tomato Penne and the Baked Manicotti were very delicious but the cheesecake was the star of the show. I highly recommend.

We are here for the first time and we really enjoyed ourselves. If I had to make a comparison to other Sunday brunch places we've tried, I'd put it right below La Cave at the Wynn but above Border Grill. We arrived when it first opened, and had a reservation for 10am. We were seated immediately and put on the balcony. It was a nice morning and the view was lovely. Our waiter was super friendly and attentive and made great suggestions. All the food was of very good quality. I can say we enjoyed everything with the exception of the zucchini hash, but that is likely mostly due to personal preferences. The veal meatballs were a standout, as were the tiramisu french toast. We got so full, I felt a little bad because we couldn't finish everything, though we tried. To be honest, we did enjoy ourselves, and I'd be open to coming back.

Wasn’t very impressed with the food but ambiance wise it was okay and they have a good view of the Strip from their outdoor patio. Came here recently Saturday night for dinner. For starters, got the Classic Caesar and Crispy Porchetta which I was not a fan of. Got the Cavatelli Bolognese and Blue Crab Mafaldine—both pastas were mediocre, but decent portions. The Chilean Sea Bass Piccata was decent! Steak Frites (French fries) were cut too thick. Overall, just an average place, probably wouldn’t come back for the food, maybe drinks only. Note, they do take Caesars drink vouchers here.

We celebrated a milestone birthday with dinner at Caramella’s and really enjoyed it. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a very cool 1920’s kinda vibe. The wait staff were very friendly and extremely attentive. We started with the cheesy garlic bread and it was amazing! It was served warm along with marinara sauce for dipping and it was the perfect amount for a party of 4. We also tried the Cesar salad, stuffed manicotti and salmon. All of which was extremely tasty. For dessert we tried the tiramisu and the cheesecake and they provided us with a scoops of ice cream and birthday cookie for free. The tiramisu was very good but the star of the show was the cheesecake. It was rich and creamy but it was also a huge portion. The slice had to be at least 10” long. All in all, we really enjoyed the food and ambiance. The prices are a bit steep but not out of line with other upscale Las Vegas restaurants. I would definitely come back again.

Eduardo is the best bartender ! Great service, great food, drinks! Definitely going back!

Food was amazing! This restaurant is so beautiful old and gorgeous. The food is delicious and portions are perfect. All you can eat and then some. Price is fair and service was good 100 percent recommend. Also don't forget to ask about their hidden speakeasy bar, take a peak it's a lot of fun and very comfortable. If you're lookin for that kind of ambiance. I will be back

BEST FOOD EVER !! People are nice, patient and incredibly kind. I love this place and I recommend 100%. The food is sooooo good and fresh and the chef is so kind and fun !! I'm coming back for sure. Manny our server was the best. Thank You for this incredible experience :)

Our dinner at Carmella Italian Restaurant at Planet Hollywood exceeded expectations. We have dined at several dining establishments along the strip but between the impeccable service we received from Michael including his guidance to the robust flavors in the drinks and food and then damn the views... we had quite the night! The prices on the menu are exactly what you expect on the strip so you have to just think to yourself how much more worth it they were. We started off with the famous garlic bread that really just needs no more embellishment than what you've already heard. I had my eyes on so many apps but with a picky husband this was a no brainer. (It's not them, it's him) My pork tenderloin needed nothing else. We split the mashed potatoes which was enjoyable but I was just so in love with the flavor profile of the pork and mushrooms they could be by themselves and soar. Husband's chicken park smelled and tasted delish. The cheese oozed out and had you going for more. I had the dirty carmella cocktail... i am a dirty martini drinker, do not sleep on this drink! Get it. Cheers. You're welcome!

Excellent experience beginning to end. The atmosphere of this place gives Vegas swanky without the pretense. Nice decor and dim lighting made for a nice chill experience. My friend and I reached the restaurant first, so we decided on a drink while we waited for our friends. Nicely stocked bar, pretty much top shelf everything, so the drinks were not cheap. Delicious nonetheless. The bartender was a cool guy full of recommendations on dinner options. He was right on! One friend ordered chicken Parmigiana, which was said to be the perfect meal that would literally ruin any other Parm experience elsewhere. Another friend got the Veal Tomahawk Steak, which initially came out smothered in mushrooms, which she despises. No worries because staff corrected the issue fairly quickly. Of course, I tried it when it came out, and it was unbelievably good: succulent, flavorful and a great portion. It was served with garlic mashed potatoes, very very good accompaniment. I got the Veal Bolognese, which was good but I sure kept eyeing that tomahawk. The bolognese sauce was delicious and the pasta was perfectly cooked. Great great experience.

service: our server was so nice!! i wish i remembered his name. super insightful & was just genuinely a happy person. we originally came here because i got a gift card from Tao. Turns out can't use this gift card here because they're not actually Tao owned but he let us know about the locals discount which was 25%!!! ambiance: it's a lot bigger than i expected. it feels like old vegas but with a modern twist. no loud music & spacious seating. food: first off, our drinks were good! i got the hustle and it was light and fruity. we started off with the garlic bread & it was DELICIOUS. i wouldn't have thought pesto would pair well with garlic bread but it did. also their pesto was great so kinda shocked they didn't have a pesto pasta dish. both of our pastas were good as well! i wish there was more heat to the chicken dish we got but it was still good. it's a simple dish which is what we wanted to eat with the pastas

I'll start by admitting that it's a pretty expensive dining experience for Italian food, but that may be subjective. We came here before a concert on a Sunday. Definitely made reservations because we weren't sure how busy it would be. The first thing I loved was that they asked if we were seeing any type of show or concert that required us to be done by a certain time. Bingo!! I couldn't be in an Italian restaurant and not have an aperol spritz, so of course that's where I started. My husband ordered bourbon. My drink was made to perfection, but not enough for me to order another for $25. The appetizer was the cheese bread. I had read such great reviews that I couldn't resist! O.M.G. I could've eaten just that and been the happiest person on the planet. It was what it was hyped up to be! Our mains included the bolognese and the veal. Both were really good, but again, pricier than we would have liked. The service was spectacular and all in all it was a great all around experience. I would consider going back on a special occasion.

Dinner at Carmella's at Planet Hollywood was a truly fabulous experience from start to finish. The room is stunning, and they hands-down have the best patio on the Strip--an unbeatable setting for an evening out. The service was world-class throughout; our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and offered fantastic recommendations that absolutely delivered. Every dish was spectacular and beautifully prepared. An exceptional dining experience all around--highly recommended.

Ive come here about 5 times now and its still the best place for me in vegas! Great food, atmosphere, and service! Brian my server is the BEST! My manager Louisa who is so awesome, beautiful, and just made for hospitality keeps me coming back!

Pro Tip: Ask for Johnny "Sin City". Tell him I sent you, and he'll look after you :) ** I didn't know what to expect. Yes, I knew my friend Johnny works here, but that was about it. As a part Sicilian from the Northeast, and after living in Los Angeles for 8 years, it's hard for Italian food to impress me. I honestly expected to be disappointed.... .... and I was wrong. It was better than sex. THE END ... ...... No seriously, I was super surprised at how much fun this place was. From the speak-ez bar hidden behind the candy counter, to the outdoor veranda over-looking the strip, this was just perfect for a group of 5 starving bodybuilders from Chicago and Boston. We did this family style, and ordered everything to share. FIRST and foremost, if nothing else, get that garlic cheese bread. I mean it. This place figured out some ancient secret mystical pixie dust that made us order THREE servings of this throughout the night. Even our lactose-intolerant member jumped on the bandwagon and admitted this was the Tate McRae of garlic bread (whatever that means). The cavatelli bolognese was my second favorite dish. The perfect pasta type for this perfection of a sauce, I don't think I can go back to bolognese the way I used to with spaghetti or penne. Trust me, this one is the paramour even the pope would approve. The veal parmigiano meatballs are the other must-have. Soft, delectable, it is deceivingly heavy.... though it may have something to do with the fact that we ordered 3 plates. These meatballs definitely represented! Nothing annoys me more than meatball that is overdone with breadcrumb filling. No...... Caramella brought it. The only disappointment to dinner was the chicken parmigiano. It was dry. All 3 dishes were bad. I had one bite from each plate. Hated it. How do you screw up such a simple dish..... consistently?? But redemption came in the very large, very delish slice of cheesecake heaven. It was the money shot that ended a close to perfect dinner. I'll definitely be back.

So happy that I finally got to dine here. Located in The Planet Hollywood Casino on the 2nd floor. It was a beautiful night so we opted to dine out on the patio. It made our experience so much better. We were overlooking the strip so imagine how beautiful the lights and view was. You can see the Bellagio Fountains. Our server was ok. He took our order and checked on us here and there. Food: Glass of Cabernet Garlic Cheesy Bread -Amazing!!! Caprese Salad - The tomatoes were cut too big. 20 oz Rib Eye- It was seasoned well and cooked perfectly- medium temperature. So tender... Overall, it's a great spot and I can't wait to dine here again. TIP: If you want to sit along the wall for a better view, there is a fee.

What a Brilliant experience! The ambience is inviting and eclectic. Monkeys, reading books, as sconces, next to lifelike cheetah statues. Booths with adjustable tables make for easy accessibility. The service is sublime. Generous with information; efficient but not cloying. Personable and interesting . The food it fantastic. From the oyster appetizers to the salmon, to the pasta and stuffed chicken. Leave room for dessert, too. Those portions are HUGE! Overall, this is a great venue for a special occasion. I look forward to trying the brunch soon.

Came here for a very late dinner w my sister. We selected this place bec we were looking for an Italian place and they didn't require reservation When we got there, we were greeted and served right away. We shared a salad and a pasta and had a few glasses of prosecco. The food was delicious, it's on the smaller portion portion side and I wish they served bread. The service was nice also. Their table setting is very chic!

This spot is upstairs in planet Hollywood, I've been wanting to try it and it was a great brunch with a view. Great place if you're hungover honestly. It's an all you can eat so make sure you're hungry. My favorite was the chicken Caesar Benedict and the caramella tart, but of course, caviar and oysters and bone marrow with scallops is always a good move.

Caramella Italian Restaurant & Lounge is a fine dining Italian Restaurant and Bar located in Planet Hollywood. Inside is very opulent with stone embellished Monkey Fixtures with glasses reading books and several large ceramic spotted cats and beautiful flower displays. They also have an amazing patio with views of the strip. They have a Three Course Wednesday & Thursday only special ($49. that I saw on their website) But you have to ask for it because it wasn't offered to us by our server. It's pretty darn amazing and it's like getting your first course and dessert for free. Also with the five day (Sun-Thur) locals Caesars Special you get parking ($20.) for free (Sun.-Thur - till Oct.30 2025) So this is a must try for locals. The special Wed. & Thursday. Menu also has an all you can drink wine special that is less than 1/2 the price of any wine that you can find on their wine list. (of course it's not the best but gets better after the first glass.) Our server discouraged us from getting this wine and said that it wasn't very good. I started with the Arugula & Fennel Salad. It had very little fennel in it but had a spectacular sort of creamy bottom to it that seemed light and was really delicious. My husband had the Caesar Salad and it was very generous in size and was well prepared. For my main I enjoyed the Salmon Al Forno. It also was a very generous serving. It was slightly past medium but wasn't dry and had a tasty crisp breadcrumbs on the top with extra sweet little tomatoes and shredded squash. My husband enjoyed the stuffed Chicken Parm. The Caramella Signature Tart was really impressive and also was a nice sweet ending to a very nice meal out. We enjoyed making this our dinner out of the week and would like to return in the future.

Came in w my bestie on our first night in Vegas it was a Friday night. The restaurant is located upstairs in Planet Hollywood. It was beautifully decorated and the staff was very welcoming. We made reservations and was glad we did as it was very busy. Our waiter was the best, very polite, attentive and funny. He made our night even better. I had the rigatoni and my Bestie had the octopus. Both dishes were deliciously, flavored and very tasty. Our drinks were great and strong much needed after a day of driving. It's a great restaurant for dates and big groups. I will definitely be back. Definitely a great place and 5 star worthy!!

I really really wanted to love this restaurant. My husband and I came here Friday evening, at around 6pm without a reservation. We were seated right away. The waiter came to bring us water and menus, my husband ordered a cocktail that was recommended by the waiter. He said it was ok but wouldn't order it again. We ordered Caesar salad, rigatoni, and NY steak. The Caesar salad was ok, but the croutons and cheese were salty. The rigatoni was too salty that I only had two bites. The best item that we had was the steak, not worth the price. At that price I would much rather go to Gordon Ramsay steak or Ramsay kitchen. The restaurant was not busy at all, and yet it took us a little less than 2 hours to get in and out. It took too long to have our food come out to us. The only great thing was that the waiter brought out an ice cream for us since we were celebrating our anniversary. Once again I really wish I would have love this restaurant. Hopefully in the future they revise the menu and maybe we can try it again

We attended the New Year's Eve Firework Viewing Party, and unfortunately, the event was not well managed given the price point. There was little to no communication about where guests should go or how the event would be handled once weather became an issue. While I understand that rain on New Year's Eve in Las Vegas is unusual and unpredictable, this was a very expensive event, and some level of contingency planning should have been in place. The entire point of this ticketed experience was access to the outdoor patio with views of the Strip and Caesars Palace fireworks. The assumption seemed to be that guests would simply stay inside due to the rain, but that should not have been the default decision for an event centered around fireworks. Guests who paid a premium should have been allowed to choose for themselves. Outdoor seating was left uncovered, and the cloth chairs were completely soaked. This could have been easily prevented with covers or by staging appropriate outdoor seating from the start. We asked multiple times for plastic bags so we could at least sit down, but none were provided. Eventually, replacement chairs were brought out, which was appreciated--but it raised the question of why that wasn't done proactively, especially since umbrellas were already available on the patio. Ponchos were eventually distributed, but only after repeated requests. Communication was also an issue with the open bar. While an open bar was advertised, it was moved elsewhere inside the restaurant without any clear announcement or direction to guests outside, adding to the confusion. Another surprising oversight was the complete lack of New Year's Eve celebration items. At no point did management or staff offer basic celebratory items such as hats, noisemakers, or New Year's glasses. When asked, staff seemed unsure whether these items even existed. As we were leaving the event, we noticed a table set up near the front of the restaurant with New Year's Eve items on it--long after guests had already gathered outside on the patio. By that point, it was too late for most attendees to even know they were available. I want to be clear: I understand that weather cannot be controlled. However, preparation and communication can be. For a New Year's Eve event at this price, guests should not be left guessing where to go, what is available, or whether the core experience they paid for will still be honored. We loved the view once we were able to get situated, but the overall execution fell far short of expectations for a premium New Year's Eve experience.

Sadly we didn't realize that patio seating didn't open up until 7. So we went with inside. Wasn't super busy on a Sunday so they sat us down right away. The waiters were great and polite. We came for a drink and dessert. We got the mistletoe margarita and agave Maria. The margarita was a little too sweet for our liking and the agave Maria wasn't as sweet, but still sweet. Our waiter did bring a 3rd drink free of charge because he said they made an extra. We got The Good Watch, my friend who is a whiskey drinker preferred that one over her original drink. As for the desserts we got the cheesecake and the ice cream. Let me tell you, we weren't prepared for how big this cheesecake was! It was long! But overall it was AMAZING! Would definitely come back for it. The sorbet was good nothing amazing. Maybe next time we will grab some apps and dinner.

The garlic bread starters were so delicious! Also the drinks with tajin were so yummy, we loved the vibe and took so many pictures. Very disco / cheetah vibes . The speakeasy they had was closed but our server let us into the back for more pictures as you can see we all took turns behind the Dj booth haha . Shoutout to the staff for making my sister in laws birthday more memorable. ‍

Had dinner with my husband and it was great. Service was excellent and the food was all very tasty. I was thinking of manicotti but the waiter talked up the penne it is spicy so make sure you like spicy. Hubby had chicken parm he finished it he's Italian. Very good meal I might return. We arrived early for our reservation and was seated immediately it was a Tuesday so not very busy. I recommend

We haven't gotten to our food and had to write a review! This restaurant exceeds expectations. Love the decor. Great service. If you come here, do not miss the garlic cheese bread. Highly recommend! We can't wait to try the entree.update: got my entree. Omg.

Amazing experience! Don't let the sleepy first look inside fool you. It's only the lounge. The dining room in the back was busy. We had reservations for 7 and were seated at a great table. Our server was Micheal who was an absolute pleasure. He was very knowledgeable and helped with recommendations which included the best cocktail I've ever had. The food was delicious. Ambiance perfection. Highly recommend!

I ordered the chicken & waffles and they were insanely good--perfectly crispy chicken on a fluffy waffle. The pancakes were just as amazing: soft, thick, and loaded with berries, whipped cream, and nuts. Total comfort-food perfection. And let's talk about the bottomless mimosas-- only way to actually do brunch! The vibes, the food, the drinks... everything was on point. Bartender Eduardo is the best!

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!

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 came for brunch on a Sunday at 12:15. We were seated at the patio overlooking the strip and Bellagio water fountains. We ordered from the all you can eat menu, which should be called, wait all day for your food. It took 2 hours from beginning to end and we didn't order a lot. We weren't given any explanation as to why everything took so long , which made the experience frustrating. If you decide to come here for brunch, I suggest ordering everything at once and leave your whole afternoon open.

Food was amazing & everyone was so attentive. Rosa was such a sweetheart taking care of me during the dinner portion. Theresa & Mary were the best make sure to catch them in the speakeasy!

If you have a big appetite, stop by this place for brunch. The price per person was $55. Certain things on the menu had extra fees (like caviar etc). The quality of food was great IMO. It looked like they only had half the restaurant open during the brunch hours, so be sure to make reservations!

Absolutely loved our experience- from the service to the food to the ambiance, it was a 5/5! The bolognese is not to be missed, and the tuna tartare arancini was amazing! The speakeasy (hidden lounge) had the best vibes, and the most amazing views from their outdoor patio. Such a cool and unique spot! We will definitely be coming back.

Fairly straightforward menu. Had the pork tenderloin Marsala.. it was great, also had the mushroom gratin, which is was also phenomenal. Service was good. Only complaint I can register is that entrees that were not pasta based did not come with any pasta as a side. Prices were fine - strip prices. Service was excellent Staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and take care of the table.

We stayed at the Planet Hollywood Las Vegas and made reservations to dine at Caramella a month prior to our Saturday evening reservation. This can be done on OpenTable and I highly recommend this as weekend reservations ANYWHERE in Vegas can come up short last minute. Now, when we arrived, we were quickly greeted by the hostess who welcomed us and brought us straight to our table. In my reservations, I asked if we could have an outdoor patio table next to the glass view of the strip and they definitely honored that request! It was truly beautiful outside, and since we are in December, the weather was absolutely perfect at 6pm with just a long sleeve, jeans and boots. The ambience indoors is a very sultry dim-lit dining experience... one that you would imagine being in the Godfather haha Outdoors, you have a much more bright lights city strip type ambience. Gorgeous bright views, and a site of the Bellagio fountains! So its safe to say, no matter where you sit in this restaurant, you'll be happy. Shortly after being seated, we were greeted by our server and her helper which would be busy refilling our waters throughout the night. Our waitress was very sweet and quick to bring out our beverages! We ended up ordering a bottle of French Riesling and my boyfriend got an old fashioned. I ordered the veal bolognese and he got the crab pasta. As a appetizer, we got the veal meatballs (comes with 3) and cheese garlic bread. Now service and everything was wonderful until after we received our appetizer. The ONLY thing that killed the mood was the wait for food. We waited for a LONG time and even our waitress came over to say I'll have to go check on this it should have been out by now. The plates did end up coming out, and I did notice right off the bat that my pasta was a little cold in some parts and piping hot in others which leads me to believe it was reheated after sitting out too long. I WILL say... both our dishes had a great taste and flavor... so I just left it at that. We frequent las vegas since we live close and stay about every 2 months. I would like to try this spot out again... but of course... we shall see as there are many great spots to dine at in vegas.

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!!

A great hidden Gem of a restaurant. We include a trip here each vist to Vegas. Each stay we try a different part of the menu and leave very satisfied.

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 *****

Went there for dinner last night and was pleasantly surprised. We shared the the Caesar salad and pplenta board made of creamy polenta, mushrooms and truffle pecorimo. For the main course I had the Cavitelli Bolognese pasta with ground veal. My bro-friend has the Duroc Pork Tenderloins with wild mushrooms and a creamy marsala sauce. Both were excellent! For side dishes we had mushroom and gorgonzola potato gratin and creamed spinach. All in all, an excellent Italian meal.

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.

Beautiful restaurant! Very cool ambiance and decorations. We were served well and with good detail. We came on a Thursday, so we were able to use their Pre-made menu which was nice! The chicken Parmesan was very tasty. Good size portion. The tart dessert was delicious with mascarpone topping. The tiramisu was also very filling. It is a pricier restaurant but hey it's Vegas! Overall, a very nice experience. Was able to book a reservation for a larger party of 7 earlier that morning.

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.

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.

We came here twice in the same day. Once for a meal and once for access to the speak-easy. Shhh. If you don't know, I can't tell you. But, it's behind the candy shop. Really good food and service. Enjoyed our meal here and drinks later in the night. Good music and tasty beverages. One of the finer points of staying at Planet Hollywood last week.

We loved it! Inside is cool. The bartenders and waiters were so nice, and the food was amazing! We ordered 3 salads, the garlic bread, and then pasta, fish, and pork. Do not miss the garlic bread, and the cheesecake at the end was wowzer! We will be back!

Absolutely delightful and delicious great value and the staff was amazing ! The food was absolutely amazing

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.

The view, food, and service were all amazing! Our server Manny was outstanding. friendly, attentive, and made our experience even better. The buffet price here is about the same as other spots on the Strip, but Caramella stands out with its outdoor seating, beautiful view, elegant decor, and warm ambiance. Highly recommend this place for a great Vegas dining experience!

Dinner for 3 on a Saturday evening. 5 star ambience and service. Food was good with chicken Parm, spicy penne, manicotti with spinach and fette. Added garlic cheese bread which was more than enough for 3 adults. Food was very good, service felt a little rushed but otherwise 5 star experience.

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.
