Carbone is heading to the coast, plunging to the briny deep and setting sail.
The restaurant that celebrates traditional Italian-American cooking (while tasting better than tradition ever did) — with its original in New York City, a location in Aria and several others around the world — is unveiling a new expression of the Carbone brand created by Major Food Group, the famed hospitality empire.
Carbone Riviera, a coastal Italian seafood spot, is planned to debut this fall in the former Picasso, one of the most beloved dining rooms in Las Vegas, overlooking the Bellagio lagoon on the Strip. Picasso, a mainstay of the Vegas fine dining movement that began in the 1990s, closed in August after more than a quarter century.
