Decadent Italian dining with original regional favorites and pastas
"From the Planet Hollywood terrace, fans score a view of the main straightaway while enjoying all-inclusive drinks and a menu of house hits—tuna arancini, veal meatballs, cavatelli Bolognese, spicy tomato penne, and chicken parm—with a live race feed on the TVs inside. Tickets are available for the first two nights only ($438 on November 20, $500 on November 21)." - Ryan Slattery
"The latest retro entrant to the Las Vegas Strip is at Planet Hollywood, where Tao Hospitality Group evoked 1970s Italy with a vibey restaurant and a candy shop. Tao’s culinary officer, Ralph Scamardella, who also helms the kitchen with blue crab malfadine with lemon and toasted breadcrumbs and bowls of cavatelli bolognese with ground veal. A secret door within gives way to a wallpaper-swaddled lounge with a mirrored DJ booth." - Janna Karel
"It can be hard to choose where to go at Caramella. The dining room is lively with an inviting retro vibe. The speakeasy lounge is good fun with an oversized disco ball DJ booth. And the outdoor seating provides views of the Strip and a top-down look at the Fountains at Bellagio. In any case, make sure to order the chicken parmesan — stuffed with cheese and crispy beneath a pour of red sauce." - Janna Karel
"The newest Italian-focused concept from a major hospitality group blends retro glamour with theatrical touches: savory pastas, tender steaks, and a decadently cheesy chicken Parmesan that’s stuffed with cheese, fried crisp, and slathered in peppery sauce are central to the menu. For the table, a heaping malfadine with sweet blue crab, lemon, and toasted breadcrumbs is a highlight, while a starter of salty prosciutto with figs and aged balsamic paired with buttery garlic bread hits a perfect sweet-salty note. Weekend dining can double as nightlife, thanks to a small candy shop that hides a secret bar with an oversized disco-ball DJ booth and cocktails like the Set Me Fredo (tequila with pistachio gelato); an outdoor balcony also provides a classic Vegas skyline photo opportunity." - Janna Karel
"This bold, new ’70s-inspired Italian spot is offering a three-course menu for $299 per couple that kicks off with a glass of prosecco to start. Guests can choose from a curated list of dishes that include veal parmigiano meatballs, Chilean sea bass piccata, and their signature dark chocolate custard tart with salted caramel." - Emmy Kasten
