Carbone Riviera, a new restaurant at Bellagio Las Vegas, offers a unique dining experience combining Italian Riviera seafood with classic Carbone swagger. It occupies the former Picasso restaurant space, retaining its art collection, and boasts prime views of the Bellagio Fountains. The restaurant has quickly become a highly sought-after reservation.
- Carbone Riviera opened in November 2025, featuring a new 33-foot Riva yacht, "Fortuna," for select guests. The restaurant retained existing art from MGM Resorts' collection and was decorated with Mediterranean glamour. The outdoor patio offers direct views of the Bellagio Fountains.
- The establishment attracts a diverse clientele, including Carbone enthusiasts, Bellagio regulars, and discerning food travelers, creating a lively, well-dressed crowd.
- The wine list, inherited from the former Picasso restaurant, features over 1,400 bottles, with a strong emphasis on Italian and French selections suited for seafood.
- Key dishes to experience include the Caesar alla ZZ, zucchini and eggplant scapece, lobster fettucine for a dramatic presentation, and the grilled whole fish.
- Service is described as polished, warm, and knowledgeable, with notable tableside preparations like the Caesar salad. A minimum spend is required for patio seating.
- Carbone Riviera's appeal lies in its curated ambiance, distinct culinary offerings, and prime location, providing an experience that feels authentic rather than contrived. The "Fortuna" yacht experience is exclusive to high rollers.
