Two culinary traditions known for noodles link arms in May at a pop-up on the Las Vegas Strip.

PastaRamen, which mingles Italian and Japanese ingredients, techniques and flavors, is debuting May 15 for a one-month run at Resorts World. PastaRamen, created by executive chef Robbie Felice and Montclair Hospitality Group, began as an invite-only omakase concept featuring a Wafu-Italian menu, “wafu” being the Japanese term for “Japanese-style.”

From there, PastaRamen expanded to publicly available pop-ups in Miami, Seattle, Los Angeles, New York and the Hamptons. A bricks-and-mortar restaurant also opened in northern New Jersey.

Felice is joining with chef-partner Nicole Brisson of Brezza in Resorts World to present the pop-up.
