Venetian Restaurants: Old World Italian Cuisine In Las Vegas
Italy is famous for food, and the Las Vegas Venetian restaurants live up to the reputation of the country that inspired the resort's name. The Venetian hotel restaurants are a diverse group of world class eateries, with menus curated by world famous and award winning celebrity chefs. Considering the theme of the resort, it's no surprise that there are multiple great Italian restaurants in the Venetian Las Vegas. Chef Mario Batali's famous New York collaboration with winemaker Joseph Bastianich, B and B Ristorante, opened its Vegas branch in The Venetian and brought over the restaurant's legendary menu and casually elegant vibe along with it. Featuring exquisite and imaginative Italian dishes created by the James Beard award winning Batali like Beef Cheek Ravioli with Black Truffles and Crushed Duck Liver and Whole Grilled Branzino with Summer Squash and Salsa Verde, you're sure to find the perfect wine pairing with a massive list curated by wine expert Bastianich. The restaurant so expertly mixes old World Italian flavors with a relaxed and modern atmosphere that it's no surprise that B and B describes themselves as a place that “captures the soul of an Italian grandmother dancing the tango with pop rock hipsters.” B and B is not the only option for Italian restaurants in the Venetian Las Vegas; the resort also boasts Valentino, sister restaurant to the Santa Monica restaurant of the same name which feartures menu created by James Beard winner Luciano Pellegrini featuring an epic mix of classic and contemporary Italian dishes that can be paired with one of the restaurant's 2,400 wine selections. The elegant Italian eatery has been named the Best Italian Restaurant in town by Las Vegas Life Magazine, has been a “grand award” winner from Wine Spectator since 2002, and was even named the #1 restaurant in America by Forbes. Those looking for even more Italian fare (and who wouldn't at The Venetian) can find it at Canaletto, which offers up a fantastic menu of Italian cuisine inspired by the city that the resort is named after... Venice. With amazing atmosphere created by the 16 foot tall ceilings, an exciting exhibition kitchen, and views of the gorgeous Venetian canals, Caneletto offers everthing you'd want from The Venetian Hotel Restaurants. Guests seeking Italian Seafood have a treat waiting for them at Zeffrino, named after the father of executive chef Gian Paolo Belloni (the only non-French chef to ever win the prestigious Escoffier Award), and his authentic foods made with ingredients imported from Italy are complimented by the amazing layout of the bi-level restaurant, which features marble columns, Venetian-style open windows, imported antique furniture, a balcony with a beautiful view of the peaceful Venetian Grand Canals, and a handcrafted 40 foot bar that was imported from Italy. Foodies browsing through Venetian Restaurants looking for something other than Italian have a ton of great options, including world famous Chef Thomas Keller's Bouchon Bistro. Keller is the only chef to win the best chef award from the James Beard Foundation, and the menu for his bistro, inspired by his travels in France, features his signature inventive flair and careful craftsmanship. Or enjoy world famous celebrity chef Wolfgang's Puck's typically innovative twist on the American bar and grill at Postrio, while you can sample Hong Kong Chinese, Japanese, and Thai cuisines at celebrity magnet Tao Asian Bistro, which is attached to one of the hottest nightclubs in Las Vegas. There are also some wonderful steakhouses among the long list of great Venetian restaurants. Energetic celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse Delmonico Steakhouse kicks it up a notch with his signature New Orleans flair, with dry-aged in the restaurant bone-in rib steaks served in a modern setting housed behind 12 foot Oak doors. French steakhouse Pinot Brasserie has a menu created by world famous chef Joachim Splichal served among antiques and accessories he personally brought back from France to create the atmosphere of a modern Parisian brassiere. The vibrantly colored AquaKnox offers a menu created by Tom Moloney of fresh seafood flown in from all over the world, ranging from stone crab claws to a huge variety of “raw bar” selections to grilled lobster with drawn herb butter, all of which can be paired perfectly with a wine selected from an amazing water encased walk-in wine cellar.

Venetian guests can find the closest location just a short walk from the resort, at Casino Royale right next door and directly on The Strip.
