    Carbone Riviera at the Bellagio completely exceeded every expectation and honestly gave me one of the best birthday dinners I've ever had. The location right on the water with the breathtaking Bellagio views made the entire night feel magical. My husband and I were seriously just in awe the whole evening. The food was incredible from start to finish. The carpaccio was sliced so unbelievably thin, I honestly don't know how they even achieved that texture, delicate, flavorful, and absolutely perfect. The bread was delicious, the Caesar salad experience was so fun and elevated, and the spicy vodka rigatoni was unforgettable. The steaks are braised, which may not be everyone's usual preference, but they were still rich, tender, and full of flavor but not my favorite for filet mignon. And the desserts... wow. Every single dessert was a showstopper. From the tiramisu to the pistachio cannoli cake and the irresistible chocolate baci cake, everything tasted luxurious and beautifully crafted. They also served these little Italian shortbread cookies and you could actually taste the almond paste in them -- my goodness, they were amazing. The dirty martini was fantastic, the Pinot Noir paired beautifully with dinner, and the entire atmosphere felt elegant, romantic, and exciting all at once. Gorgeous Vegas views, incredible service, unforgettable food, and such a special energy all around. Carbone Riviera made my birthday feel truly unforgettable. We will absolutely be back.

    One lamb chop was almost entirely rare fat and honestly one of the worst lamb chops I've ever had. Double the size of the other.

    I probably went wrong here by not ordering seafood. I'd had seafood at several other places over the last two weeks, so by the time we got to Carbone Riviera, I was honestly a little seafood'd out and decided to order the lamb chops instead. I love lamb chops. Unfortunately, that ended up being a bad choice. I received two lamb chops, and one was literally twice the size of the other because it was almost entirely fat. Not marbled fat -- just huge chunks of fat with tiny pieces of meat on it. I always order my lamb chops medium rare, and having one that fatty cooked medium rare (it was more like rare tbh) honestly just made it extra gross. It really should not have been served. I'm including a picture because the size difference between the two chops was pretty shocking. This was not marbled fat, it was a bad cut that frankly should not have been prepared. Now, to be fair, the atmosphere is beautiful, the service was great, and my husband's entrée was delicious. But this is Vegas. There are way too many amazing restaurants here for something like this to come out of the kitchen and make it to the table. At this level, everything should be outstanding, and this just wasn't. Also, if you're a lamb chop person like I am, but you don't like super fatty lamb chops, I would avoid ordering them here because this was extremely disappointing. At the very least the quality control of food leaving the kitchen is not what one expects at an establishment like this. I've tried it, and I'm good. I personally would not go back.

    Carbone Riviera sits inside of the beautiful Bellagio Casino along side of the water and fountains. For all of these years, Bellagio has been a magnificent property and remains so, at least on the outside to this day. The restaurant itself both inside and outside is very appealing. So, let's start at the beginning of this rating. When we came for our reservation, we asked if they had any outdoor seating hoping we would get lucky. They came back, and said they did and we were thrilled. That was until they told us it was a minimum spend of $175 per person to sit on the patio instead of indoors. That leaves a couple of impressions. First, that's very odd, second since we agreed to that, you are mandating a bar I need to reach for the 3 of us. In turn, my expectation will raise in kind as it feels like a spend competition instead of a Mother's Day dinner. On a side note our individual server was ok no major complaints. The rest of the staff though? Very casual, definitely not luxury, far from it. As far as the food, from the start, the bread service was kinda cool with some things to play with. The Caesars salad was marginal. Wilted from heat, and the croutons were the best part. The baked clams were pretty good, good flavor and came out hot and fresh. The Veal Milanese was just ok, far better off strip. The branzino was along the same lines, not bad, definitely not top box. The lobster fettuccini was ok as far as the generous lobster with the pasta and sauce kinda in a meh land. Also whose idea is it to give free carnation flowers instead of roses for Mother's Day? That's a funeral flower - please fire that person. The restaurant in general sits in probably the best part of the strip possible. The restaurant was ordinary, better product and service elsewhere.

    Note to readers: this is the Seafood version of Carbone at Aria. Ambiance: 5/5 This is one of the boujiest restaurants I've been to! The place is so grand, situated at the Bellagio fountains. It's beautiful and just being there is an experience itself. Absolutely loved the ambiance. Service: 10/5 The best service I've ever had at a restaurant. Every single waiter had a smile on their face, genuinely seemed like they were happy to work there and be of service to you. Our waiter, Dragomir, was exceptional. He was very attentive, kind, walked us outside to see the view, and made sure to constantly check up on us. Absolutely amazing service. He even went above and beyond to give my mom a flower, as it was Mother's Day. Food: Caesar Salad - 4/5 - The salad was super fresh and tasty. This was an experience in itself, where the entire mixing of the salad was done in front of us. The chef/waiter (I guess you'd call him?) walked us through each ingredient and then mixed it. It was a great Caesar salad. Rigatoni Vodka - 5/5 - This was the favourite part of our meal. It was so tasty, the perfect balance between cream and tomato, and the spice was a perfect kick. We truly enjoyed every bite and probably would come back just for this. Plus, it was one of the cheaper things on the menu! Veal Chop - 3.5/5 - I had higher expectations of this after the salad and rigatoni, but honestly, it was just ok to me. It felt a little bland, though good quality? I feel like it would have been better as Veal Parmesan or something. To be fair, this was a seafood restaurant, so the seafood dishes I'm sure were excellent. Overall, great experience here and will definitely be back for the pasta one day!

    We dined here the other night for hubby's bday. The ambiance is wonderful-5 stars. Make sure to request an outdoor table to see the fountain display. The service was top-notch. Staff was friendly and attentive. The star of the show for me was the scallops appetizer. They were cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The lobster meatballs were a bit spicy for me, but hubby enjoyed them. The shrimp Luna pasta was amazing! The spicy vodka rigatoni was good, spicy as described but not over the top good. We chose the two pastas versus the lobster fettuccine because we have been eating lobsters the past few days, so we were lobstered out, plus a review here mentioned it was kinda dry, have we skipped on that dish that looked delicious. The salmon was huge! My hubby wasn't able to finish it. He said it tasted great. The crispy potato sides were very good. The chocolate dessert was rich and good. They sent over Italian cookies that were just okay. Overall, great new place to dine and be outdoors. Interior was also amazing, loved the lemon lighting.

    Got a reservation a month prior to try the latest upscale restaurant on the strip. Located in the Bellagio next to the water and fountains. We were blown away by the interior design, decor and the fountain views. Service was impeccable-- very attentive, friendly and welcoming. Had to try the table-side tossed Cesar Salad and the Broiled Scallops for starters -- both were so delicious. Ordered the Grilled Branzino alla Griglia, Dogana Potatoes, Whole Lobster Fettuccine, and the Spicy Vodka Rigatoni, and everything was so amazing and flavorful. The Pistachio Cannolis Napoleon, was not as tasty as I had hoped, but enough reason for us to go back and try their other desserts. They also have an extensive wine and cocktail menu. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    The Caesar salad was great.

    I made reservations at Carbone Riviera over a month in advance for my husband's birthday dinner, and unfortunately, the experience was incredibly disappointing from start to finish. Our reservation was for 9:15 PM, and I even called ahead to let the restaurant know we would be about 15 minutes late. They assured me that was perfectly fine. However, when we arrived, we still had to wait another 15 minutes because our table wasn't ready. Once seated, we weren't given menus. Several minutes later, our server came over to ask for our water preference, and then disappeared. About 5-10 minutes later, he returned ready to take our order before realizing he had never given us menus. There was no apology. I also ordered a drink at that time, which never arrived. We eventually placed our order. We were dining with our 5 year old daughter, who was incredibly patient throughout the evening. Her butter pasta arrived after about 15 minutes, and our Caesar salad followed shortly after. Then we waited and waited. Our server never checked on us, never refilled our water, and never communicated that the kitchen was running behind. Nearly an hour later, our entrees finally arrived. One dish was completely cold and inedible. Even our server acknowledged that the food should never have taken that long and agreed the dish was unacceptable after touching the plate himself. What made the situation even more frustrating was the complete lack of attention throughout the meal. Before our entrees arrived, our used salad plates hadn't even been cleared, and I had to flag down another server just to get a clean plate. Meanwhile, our server seemed attentive and engaged with nearby tables, which made us feel overlooked and undervalued. I asked to speak with a manager twice before one finally came over. She apologized and removed the cold entree from the bill, but that was the extent of the resolution. I explained that these were special reservations for my husband's birthday, and while she apologized, there was little effort to make the experience right. No offer of dessert, no attempt to salvage the evening, and no sense of urgency or empathy. Instead, she signaled the server to bring the check. To make matters worse, when I asked for her card, she told me to contact her the next time I visited. After an experience like this, why would I be eager to return? What disappointed me most wasn't the delayed food or even the cold entree. It was the lack of communication, accountability, and genuine care. A simple acknowledgment, proactive updates, or an effort to make a birthday celebration feel special would have gone a long way. I'm giving 2 stars. One for the spicy rigatoni and Caesar salad, which were excellent, and one for the ambiance. Unfortunately, the service and overall experience fell far below expectations, especially for a restaurant of this caliber.

    Even the bathrooms are nice

    Had a 5-star dining experience here and I'm still on a high! I was a little skeptical going in as I know some upscale dining in Vegas can be a bit gimmicky, but the service, ambiance, and quality of food were all excellent. Located in the Bellagio, Carbone Riviera is right on the water with beautiful views of the fountains. We sat indoors, but there's a large outdoor patio as well. From the nostalgic music to the decor, CR does such a great job of setting the scene for a thoughtful, memorable dining experience. Our party of 6 ordered a variety of apps and mains to share and we loved everything. This Carbone is a bit different from others as its focus is more coastal so the seafood selection is very diverse. We ordered the following: - Lobster Polpette Fra Diavolo - I've never had a seafood meatball before but this was exceptional. So tender, melt-in-your-mouth delicious. - Calamari Fritti - the Calabrian butter this came with was INCREDIBLE. We ordered anything extra to dip the complimentary warm focaccia in - Spicy Rigatoni Vodka - you can't come to Carbone and not order this. It's one of their signature dishes and it's amazing - 2 lb lobster fettuccine - I was worried this wouldn't live up to the hype but it was the best thing I ate all night. The lobster is tender and plentiful and the pasta was perfectly al dente in the most wonderful sauce. I'm still thinking about this dish. - Grilled Salmon Oreganata - I enjoyed this dish, but not as much as the others. The salmon was well cooked and my sister who's a big salmon lover really enjoyed it. - Veal Parm & Shrimp Parm - both super tasty. The veal comes right on the bone sliced tableside and the shrimp was HUGE. These were gobbled up immediately. - 16oz ribeye - I'll say this. Our group enjoyed this steak more than the steakhouses we went to on that trip. An incredible cut of meat, no notes. Our server and staff were so attentive and helpful. Our water glasses never got below halfway and they made us feel special and cared for. This is a place I would return to again and again.

    Carbone Riviera at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino feels like the seafood loving cousin of the original. The view of the fountains does half the work before the food even hits the table. Service was spot on. The sea bream crudo was bright and fresh, the ribeye rich and worth every bite. Great food, great view, no complaints.

    You cannot imagine how happy I was to get a text notification that a lakeside table was available for last night. I have been dying to go to Carbone Riviera. It's absolutely beautiful. Stunning. But trying to enjoy the natural beauty isn't easy with all the "influencers" or wannabes endlessly taking photos in front of the fountains. The woman at the table next to us did no less than 3 photo shoots holding various products. It's truly annoying and doesn't add to a relaxing dining experience. The service is no doubt professional, but slow. When you're seated, you are told in no uncertain terms it is a $175 per person minimum (for the Riviera deck) and that you have two hours. But we were eager to leave after 90 minutes and couldn't get a check. The free apps are nice. I prefer the nosh at Carbone to this one, but the focaccia is nice. We started with a shared Caesar salad, but the tableside presentation isn't as great when you can't see it, and there are too many tables right up front for them to navigate. It's still a damn good salad, probably the best Caesar on the strip. My partner ordered the 8 oz filet. Ordered medium rare, it arrived closer to medium well and was covered in an overpowering vinegar sauce. We ordered a side of potatoes but they didn't come. But they did take them off the bill when we pointed it out. And the famous 2-pound lobster fettuccine was not really described that well... it's a very spicy dish and we weren't expecting that. The lobster was sweet and delicious, but would have been a lot better with a more subtle sauce. The Pistachio Cannoli Napolean was a big slice of cake with almost no discernible flavor. Not bad though. The cheesecake at Carbone has always been good so that is probably the way to go here. Again, this place is absolutely beautiful. The view is incredible. We were so close to the fountains we were sprayed lightly with water (that helps because there is no shade at all and it is going to get HOT on that deck). But the view is similar at Prime, and the food is much, much better at the Italian Carbone in Aria. If you value experience more than amazing food, this is a must-visit stop for you. It's still worth going once but I don't think we'd go back because the meal just wasn't very good. Original Carbone is the winner.

    Steak was like butter. Truly delicious.

    17.4 outta 12 experience. Ambiance and decor was all top notch. Service was impeccable, quality of food was top tier, and overall experience was something you don't want to miss. Had everything from lobster meatballs, calamari, octopus, focaccia bread, tomahawk steak, branzino, and more. This is a talk of the town establishment and if you can get in, you better. Try to get a seat by the water.

    I think we will be adding this onto our rotation of Vegas restaurants whenever we visit. I was lucky enough to get reservations on the Riviera Deck back when Carbone Riviera opened in November. I would definitely recommend reservations, as we saw so many people get turned down for trying to walk in. Once we arrived, the front desk verified with us twice if we were okay with the $175pp minimum for the Riveria Deck - I really appreciated the transparency. We were seated in the middle row of the deck, and ordered a couple drinks and water. We noticed that the people in the front row closest to the water left, and our waiter offered that table to us. It was very kind and I felt bad because I didn't want them to have to clean our table, and then our new table when we were done. However, our server was extremely kind and assured us it was okay. We ended up ordering: Pistachio Colada, Cappellini Crab AOP, Grilled Octopus Pepperonata, Tuna Calabrese, Dover Sole, and Caesar Alla ZZ. My favorite dishes were the Grilled Octopus, and the Caesar Alla ZZ. I've never had grilled octopus that tender before, and I truly think this is the best grilled octopus I've had. I also enjoyed the Caesar, which I knew I would but what stood out was the croutons. I really don't like croutons because of how crunchy they are, but these were soft, almost like bread! My partner really enjoyed the Cappellini Crab AOP. He is not a pasta person, but he ended up eating his portion, as well as my portion that I couldn't finish. We've already booked our next trip to Vegas, and as soon as we booked our hotel my partner asked "are you going to make Carbone Riveria reservations?" So, I guess that means we will be back!

    Have been a big fan of Carbone but always have a hell of a time making reservations. No better combination than great Italian food with a view of the Bellagio fountain in the background! Started the meal off with an old fashioned while the servers brought out a warm tomato and olive focaccia bread and bread sticks with a white bean dip. Sadly we were still deciding what to eat so the bread was cold by the time we finished ordering. It was still tasty but would've appreciated them serving the bread after we ordered. We ordered the table side caesar salad, calamari fritti and maine lobster to start. Love their caesar salad, especially the presentation. The calamari fritti was perfectly fried to a golden brown and especially enjoyed the sauce that accompanied the dish. Wasn't a huge fan of the maine lobster as it was sorta like a cold seafood salad. Next dish we ordered was the lobster fettuccine. A generous 2 pound lobster that was cooked perfectly served on top of tomato fettuccine pasta. If we would've known how much food there was, would've stopped with the lobster fettuccine but we also ordered the salt baked branzino. Again the presentation was fantastic but thought the branzino was baked a tad bit too long as the cheeks were dry. Though the fish was perfectly fine eating as is, I wished I would've asked for more EVOO as I wasn't a huge fan of the salsa verde. As for the sided, we ordered the artichoke hearts and funghi misti which were both awesome. We also ordered the shrimp parmigiana which I'd say skip as they were also overcooked. As they needed the table, the waiter asked if we would like to enjoy dessert on the patio which we were happy to do. Couldn't think of a better way to end an awesome meal than with dessert while watching a few water shows. The passion fruit sorbet was good but wasn't a huge fan of the chocolate mousse sphere.

    Wine recommendation, delicious

    See all

    How can we get reservations? Seems like everyday is booked out for the entire 2026!

    Is there heating on the deck?

    Yes they have the Kindle heat lamp on the deck, but bring your coats and scarfs, because if the water fountain show is on, it can get a little more chill.

    Is there seating at the bar?

    Yes, there is seating on the with the full menu available. I believe by reservation only.

We came with four people, and everything was delicious. 1. Veal Parmigiana - excellent 2. Spaghetti Aglio e Olio (added meatballs) - excellent 3. Veal Piccata - excellent 4. Complimentary garlic bread - excellent (TIP: Get some Gypsy Sauce on the side!) The interior is very crowded with a lot of people, furniture, and a live musician (who was great). Location is probably the only downside (a bit far from the convention and other hot spots).

The service was a little slow, but they were pretty busy and as we could see food coming out, you could tell it was made to order. I ordered the veal scaloppini, the meat was tender and the sauce was good, I ordered the alfredo sauce for my side of pasta, the pasta was aldente' , but the sauce was missing something? my wife ordered the fettuccini alfredo, and she said the same thing about the sauce. My mom in law order the pasta carbonara, she said it was very tasty. We also ordered the antipasto plate, this was also tasty, but they are using the wrong prosciutto, it was too dry. for desert I had the chocolate cake, very rich and decadent, but I don't think it was made in house? The ambiance of the restaurant was old school Vegas, they had a guy playing piano and another guy playing drums, nothing obnoxious, so it was fine. But! I know I'm gonna get slammed here but when I'm spending this kind of money for an upscale dinner, I DONT want to hear screaming kids, i'm sorry but take your kids to olive garden, not a place like this. Overall our experience was good. Debbie our Server was very nice.

The boscaiola pizza and gnocchi, the ruchetta salad and the tagliata di manzo and linguine Al lemone, which was also amazing. Staff and service were great.

Would recommend the restaurant, but hate that you have to reserve a reservation with a credit card and are charged $50 per person if you cancel less than 24 hrs in advance, especially when there are so many restaurants in Vegas to chose from and when you are a local when you really want to attract locals to the strip.

However, as soon as my pregnant wife and I sat down, we were immediately carded for ID. My wife didn't think she would need her ID, being pregnant and all. She had been dying to try the pasta all month before our trip. It might be because we're asian and most likely discriminated against, but we were the only ones at the entire bar to be carded. We tried to plead our case, saying we won't be drinking. The bald bartender did not care nor did he even want to hear it. He told me to leave quite loudly and humiliated us openly. I understand protocol and laws but do you not have decorum and the wherewithal to even behave professionally? The rudeness left a bitter taste in our mouths, and the food probably would not have been much better.

Over the years, I've actually ventured away from their pasta. Although always fresh (as you can see in their open kitchen), they have many better options under entrees. With some even served with a small portion of pasta, it's usually a better deal too. They often run promotions, so I'd check their website. They have plenty of menu items, perfect for large parties. Wait staff has always been wonderful. They ask about allergies, are well versed in wine pairings, and keep water glasses full. The worst I've experienced is a 15 minute wait on food during a weekend evening rush, and even then it's to be expected. Brunch, lunch, and dinner, North Italia is a fantastic option for date night, girls night, and even large family dinners!
