Ever since word emerged in May that legendary Picasso restaurant in Bellagio was closing, and its famed chef Julian Serrano was retiring after almost 26 years at the helm since opening, the calls and emails and other inquiries have come as thick as the potato mousseline nestling the chef’s pan-seared U-10 day boat scallops.
You’re closing? You’re really closing? We have to visit one last time (or one last multiple times).
And so they have come. Vegas locals. Customers from across the U.S. And from Europe and beyond. Even people who had never eaten before at the restaurant but realized an essential part of the city’s culinary history was ending. Picasso has been completely booked (about 180 seats) since the May announcement.
