Mario Carbone's latest venture, Carbone Riviera, has set sail in Las Vegas with a flourish of theatricality that perfectly captures the essence of its creator's brand. The brainchild of Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi, and Jeff Zalaznick, this seafood wonderland is an over-the-top restaurant that has taken up residence at the iconic Bellagio hotel.
At first glance, the Fountains of Bellagio serve as a stunning backdrop for the eatery's arrival. But it's what lies ahead – a Riva yacht on a floating deck and an ornate Martin Brudnizki-designed dining room featuring art by Picasso, Miró, and Renoir – that truly sets Carbone Riviera apart from its predecessors.
Guests, including A-list celebrities like David Chang, who has known Carbone since their time working together at Café Boulud, have raved about the restaurant's offerings. The menu boasts dishes like crab AOP and shrimp Parm, both of which are nods to the iconic veal Parm that helped establish Carbone as a global phenomenon.
But it's not just the food that has fans abuzz – it's the experience itself. With its lively atmosphere and expertly curated selection of seafood, Carbone Riviera is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience in Las Vegas.
Carbone himself has been traveling extensively with his team to open new locations, including London's Carbone and Dubai's Carbone. Now, he finds himself back on home turf, hosting a November 20 opening party that promises to be the event of the Formula One weekend.
As one would expect from its creator, Carbone Riviera serves up a signature dish: spicy rigatoni vodka – the same recipe that has made Carbone's original restaurant a staple of the culinary world. The team is committed to delivering top-tier seafood with their Italian-American ethos, and it shows in every aspect of the dining experience.
In short, Carbone Riviera is an absolute must-visit for anyone who loves seafood, great food, or just the thrill of dining at a show-stopping restaurant. With its lavish decor, exceptional service, and menu that's sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate, this new addition to Las Vegas' culinary scene is set to be a huge hit.

. It's like, if you're gonna do it, do it right, you know? And that menu is looking fire 
, especially with those nodding dishes to their iconic veal Parm. But what really gets me is how immersive the experience is - I mean, a Riva yacht on a floating deck? That's just fancy 
. It's like they're trying to create this whole other world for you, and who am I to complain about that? The fact that Mario Carbone himself is putting in the travel time to make sure everything is perfect just shows how dedicated he is to delivering an unforgettable experience. Can't wait to try it out! 
just got word about Carbone Riviera in Vegas 
it's like stepping into a movie 
with that Riva yacht on the water 
and Picasso art on the walls 
but the food 
is gonna be where it's at, trust me 
crab AOP & shrimp Parm? yes please 
can't wait to try it out 
. For me, it's when you find that perfect balance between being over-the-top and still feeling authentic 
. Carbone Riviera seems to have nailed that for them - it's like they took all the flashy stuff (the yacht, the Picasso art) and turned it into something truly unique. And at the end of the day, it's not just about the aesthetics or the fancy menu; it's about creating an experience that leaves you feeling like you've had a taste of something truly unforgettable 
.
Carbone Riviera sounds like an absolute dream come true for any seafood lover! 
I mean, who wouldn't want to dine in a restaurant that's been designed by some of the world's top artists? 
Has anyone tried it yet?! 
and that menu sounds insane - who else can get crab AOP on their menu?! 
! The vibe is so on point, from the Fountains of Bellagio as the backdrop to the luxurious Martin Brudnizki-designed dining room 
. And who doesn't love a good Italian-American meal? The spicy rigatoni vodka has got to be a kid-fave, right? 
. and spicy rigatoni vodka? fuhgeddaboutit 
.
. You've got these big-name chefs and designers teaming up to create an experience that's all about indulgence and spectacle – sounds a lot like a certain politician's love affair with fancy events 
.
. Where's the innovation? The risk-taking? This whole thing feels like a safe, formulaic bet, rather than some bold new move into uncharted territory 
, that's their prerogative. Just don't expect me to be joining you for any fancy-schmancy openings anytime soon 
.
also i heard they have a private room that can seat like 20 people for special events which sounds soooo posh 
i'm def going back with friends next month 
. And have you seen the pics of that Riva yacht on a floating deck? It's like they're trying to make it look like some kinda spectacle, distracting us from what's really going on
