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.
