We visited Carbone Riviera tonight for my son's 21st birthday celebration. First, I want to say that the food was outstanding. Every dish we ordered was excellent, and the quality of the cuisine absolutely lived up to the restaurant's reputation. The ambiance was lovely and the restaurant is gorgeous. Unfortunately, the service missed the mark. Based on the reviews we had read and the reputation of Carbone, we arrived expecting warm, attentive, polished hospitality. Instead, our primary server provided what I would describe as poor--and at times downright bad--service. The experience lacked the attentiveness, professionalism, and hospitality that we associate with a restaurant of this caliber. Our server basically abandoned us after our pasta service and had not been overly present prior to that. When he finally returned, he stated that he thought that we were done. Thankfully the person providing beverage service tried to step in to assist after I believe she realized what was happending - she was truly delightful. She helped us with our final course, coffee service and dessert. I am so disappointed that we had this experience and I hope that the server was just having an off night, but if not, that Carbone Riviera is able to use this feedback to improve their service or assist this particular server with improved customer service skills. I still recommend experiencing this restaurant based on all the other service reviews, the food is worth the visit! read more

I loved this place, my experience was outstanding. Starting with Karen the host she was very understanding a super professional, even when i treated with her by the phone only she made my experience very pleasant. Overall friendly staff, great ambiance and food . My server and assistant on point . Definitely coming back read more

We had such a wonderful time celebrating my 50th birthday at Carbone Riviera! The food was absolutely delicious, and on top of that, the service was excellent. Everyone made our evening feel extra special. We sat outside on the patio, and although it was a little hot, the overall experience was very nice. We also enjoyed the beautiful Bellagio water fountain show--it made the evening even more lovely! I would definitely recommend Carbone Riviera to family and friends. And you absolutely have to try the lobster noodles--they were delicious! I would love to come back for more. Cheers to 50! Thank you for making my birthday celebration so memorable! read more

So, I've done a review with a 10pm reservation (one of the last reservations), a 5pm reservation (first reservation of the night), and now it's time for me to speak on my reservation at 7:15pm. I had no intention on visiting but when a reservation popped up at midnight for the riviera deck, I can't say no. We walked in around 7pm, and I told the hostess I had a reservation for 7:15pm, she confirmed that I wanted to be outside and told me I had to be out of there in 2 hours. I said this would be acceptable. Aaron seated us in one of those long booths under the umbrellas. This was new to us because the first time and second time we went we both sat along the water. We were happy to experience something new, although we did see a lot of groups who were seated in the middle row asking to be seated closer to the water (they were all denied). Unfortunately, both our waiter and his helper did not introduce themselves to us, so I'm unsure what their names were. They got straight to business with taking our order and serving our food. We ordered a Melon, sparkling water, Whole Mediterranean Sea Bream, Lobster Polpette Fra Diavolo, Old Fashion, Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, Whiskey Sour, Espresso Martini, Caesar Alla ZZ, and Branzino al Sale Verde. My highlights: Sea bream (duh), Lobster Polpette Fra Diavolo, and Branzino. I knew I was going to like the Sea bream, we've had it before. I'm happy to report the quality has not changed since June. I like the salt that they add on top of the fish - the flavors really pop this way. Lobster Polpette Fra Diavolo- those lobster meatballs were phenomenal. There were such large meaty chunks of lobster, I couldn't stop talking about how good they were until my partner told me it was $49 for three of them. Branzino - perfectly seasoned and charcoal grilled. The fish was so soft and flakey. It also came deboned for us which was really nice. I'd pick this over the Dover Sole any day. This is going on our must order list again. Unfortunately, I've chosen to give this 4 stars rather than my usual 5 stars because it just felt off this time. The spicy rigatoni noodles were hard. I thought this was one of Carbone's specialties, so I expected better. Additionally, it's okay to confirm the 2 hour time frame, but when we were about an hour and a half in, our waiter and his helper just disappeared. I was waiting for him to come back for at least half an hour just to get the check. I also ran out of water during this time, and would have liked a refill considering sparkling water goes for $10/person. Of course I'm going to come back. I love this place. You can't beat the views when you're sitting on the riveria deck. I'm just hoping we caught them on a bad day since 7pm seems to be more of their rush hour and that the service and quality here aren't declining. read more

What a spectacular evening we had at the Carbone Riviera! Get ready to be awestruck while fine dining when the gorgeous Bellagio water fountains do their dances! It was a night to remember. Guests were dressed in their finest and you could hear the excitement thruout. Business casual is also acceptable. We were fortunate to be seated outside in the middle with a great view of the Fountains of Bellagio. The music accompanying the water show were perfectly programmed. The Paris Hotel with the Eiffel Tower was lit up as were the other hotels across from us. We felt like we were in Paris, lol. We shared several dishes to have more to taste at Carbone. Our selections were: Tuna Calabrese, Crab AOP, Polpette, Melon, and Solo Shrimp Parmesan. All were delicious! Our server was Gabriel Zoren, who was excellent in his attentiveness, professionalism, and friendliness. We had a fabulous time and we will visit again on our next trip to Vegas! read more

Had the most incredible experience here. The hostess was able to seat us in the best seat in the house from the get go as this was our engagement dinner. They gave us complimentary champagne to commemorate, and were incredibly kind. Our server Zoren was amazing. He was so knowledgeable about the menu and had great recommendations for what we liked and what we were looking for. We did not feel rushed at all which I was worried would happen. The ambiance obviously was INSANE. Perfect view, it couldn't be any better. This place is an absolute dream and I would do it again. The food was delicious. The beef carpaccio and caviar were top notch and we still talk about it weeks after. I can't wait to go back! read more

This was our first time trying Carbone Riviera after having visited the original Carbone several times. This is a tough place to get a reservation, but we managed to find one. We arrived on time and proceeded to wait about 20 minutes for the table without any updates. This seemed really inexcusable for a restaurant of this caliber. There is virtually nowhere to wait near the hostess stand which was quite awkward. We eventually were seated in a large booth in the bar area. It was comfortable but not very private as anyone entering or leaving the restaurant would pass through this area. The idea that you must spend $175 per person to sit outside to see the fountains seems like an absurd money grab. Since it was a hot night, we didn't even consider this and were happy to sit inside. Our server was honestly just OK. He was friendly enough but honestly seemed a tiny bit annoyed with us at times. When one of our dining party was asking about the two types of potatoes and wondering which one was crispy, he replied, "they're both crispy!" There were also times that dirty plates sat on the table for quite some time and water glasses remained empty. I enjoyed the strawberry pomodoro cocktail which was ice cold and flavorful and well-balanced. We each received exactly one piece of freshly made focaccia bread, and there was never an offer for a second piece. We had the calamari appetizer as well as the tableside Caesar salad. I really enjoyed the calamari which was amazingly tender and not rubbery at all. The Caesar was quite good as well with an authentic dressing, but it was not quite to the caliber of the famous Golden Steer tableside Caesar. For example, the croutons are gigantic and unwieldy to eat. Also, after making the salad the staff just placed in on the table in a large bowl rather than portioning out a serving for each guest. We had the rock shrimp ravioli for the pasta course. I enjoyed this as well as the flavor was wonderful, and the pasta perfectly prepared. I had the salmon oreganata entree as well as the Dogona potatoes. Both were very good. The salmon was a surprisingly generous portion and was well prepared and flavorful and fork tender. The potatoes were a wonderful combination of crispy and tender with a great and fragrant flavor of olive oil and rosemary. Save room for dessert! They have a nice dessert cart with four selections. I went for the tiramisu which was honestly just "OK" and frankly underwhelmed. I was a little disappointed they did not have a showstopper tableside dessert choice like Golden Steer or Barry's Downtown Prime (e.g., cherries jubilee, bananas foster, baked Alaska, or something similar that would fit the Carbone Riviera menu while still being an impressive presentation). One of our dining companions had the pistachio cake which I tasted and enjoyed much more than the tiramisu. Overall, this was a very good dining experience although a tiny bit short of amazing. read more

I wanted a reliable pasta dinner and since I haven't tried the newer location of Carbone, this seemed like the obvious choice. Carbone Riviera seems to be focused more on seafood offerings, however they still offer the dishes that Carbone is known for (Spicy Rigatoni Vodka being one of them.) The main draw seems to be the outdoor dining area, but this does come with a minimum of $175. Unsure if this is for both the patio (red/white striped chairs), deck (white Riva chairs, no tablecloths) or both but just be aware. Arriving at reservation time, the bar seats about 9 or so people. This seemed to fill up rather quickly and is first come first serve so even if you have a reservation, it didn't make a difference (more on this later). Female bartender was nice and prompt for the most part but understandably it can get overwhelmingly busy since she is serving the bar area as well as providing drinks for the rest of the restaurant. Already aware of what I wanted, I let her know as soon as I was offered the bread service (btw, this is different here than at the Carbone's elsewhere; the sesame sticks, white bean dip with olive oil and basil or pesto was actually better than expected). Pasta as always was reliable and delicious. It took a moment for me to find someone to add parmesan cheese but once I had the attention of another bartender, he loaded it on just how I like it. No dessert ordered, but finished off with my favorite Italian Rainbow Cookies. Restrooms are four individual areas with their own sinks, etc. Someone was back there overseeing them so they're really nice. Dining room was elaborate with the light from outside filtering in but I prefer the dark environment of the Aria Carbone. Sole complaint is that we had a reservation where there were a lot of walk-ins chancing their opportunity at the bar, but they took whoever arrived first to check in when they should honor those who actually had reservations, then accommodated those walk-ins. This would have made for a much better experience. Also the bar stools are rather heavy (or I may be a lightweight). Still, the food was solid and so was the service- read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

How beautiful is this restaurant. I'm in awe ... from the moment I walked in I couldn't stop looking around. So much detail into everything. The colors, the decor, the plates, the lamps etc.... We had reservations at 6:30 and we were seated right away. We choose indoor seating cause it's soooo beautiful. The vibe here is sophisticated yet lively. Customer service is the best here. Our waiter Robert was so welcoming, friendly and attentive to us. He explained the menu and drink options so well We ordered a few things to share and let me tell you my husband and I enjoyed every dish we ordered. First of all they serve you breadstick, individual focaccias and two kind of dips once you are seated. So so good. Then we ordered the oysters which were so fresh and delicious. The calamari was amazing ... the Caesar salad was made in front of us from scratch. The dressing tasted amazing. We also shared a ribeye steak and stuffed shrimp pasta The dessert was heavenly. Chocolate hazelnut layered cake. Oh my goodness. I'll go back just for that. The outdoor seating is very nice too right on the water where you can see the dancing fountains. So lovely. Great vibes as well. Overall my husband and I enjoyed our time here so much. We had a lovely time. Great food great service great ambiance. We will be back .... read more

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. read more

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. read more

I had been wanting to try Carbone Riviera for a while now and I had made this reservation over in a month in advance. So I had high expectations. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful. It's was bright, airy and nicely decorated. It feels very lovely to be in there with views of the fountains. They specialize in seafood so we had ordered some seafood appetizers, the yellow tail, and lobster meatballs, which were all fantastic, alongside a tomato salad that was both fresh and tasty. Our main dishes were the shrimp parm and spicy rigatoni pasta, which were paired well together. Moving onto the service, this is where it was lacking for me. It didn't feel high end it was slow at times, our plates weren't cleared right away and it was those little items that didn't make it stand out. Overall, I really did enjoy Carbone Riviera and I would definitely go back. read more

Ordered carpaccio, which is drizzled in infused oils, garlic, arugula, shaved mushrooms, walnuts, onion... this combined with the breads they bring you - hot focaccia's and sesame sticks with a hummus and basil oil dip - holy moly fantastic.

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. read more

Wow-- everything about this restaurant was 5 star. From the pleasant check in to the gorgeous layout of the restaurant to the top notch views and service- it really was dreamy. Heads up if you have reservations outside it will be $175 minimum per person but granted that's fairly easy to hit here. Otherwise several tables inside have views of the bellagio fountains as well. We were seated near the window and had a great view of the fountains. Our server was Andrew and he was extremely personable and warm. We were provided complimentary bread upon seating and he walked us through the menu. Hubs and I decided to split a 16 oz ribeye steak $150 with the spicy rigatoni $36 and the potato crocante $20. We ordered the steak medium rare and it was phenomenal! The potato cocrante ( similar to potato wedges) were crispy and delicious. The spicy rigatoni was flavorful but pretty spicy! Added a ton of flavor to the steak and potatoes. The cocktails were fantastic here and the espresso martini with the chocolate shavings on top was top tier. Overall an absolute gorgeous venue in Vegas which makes it understandable why reservations are hard to come by. If you get the chance to sit on the patio I recommend by all means! Cheers. read more

First of all sitting outside the views are absolutely unreal I would go there again just for the fountain show. There is a minimum spent per person if you do sit outside I believe it was 175 we were told. There are a number of vegetarian options. I had the cold plate starter with zucchini and eggplant. It was pretty good a bit salty. There is the pass of course which is delicious and then there is a ravioli as well with no meat which was also really good. Meet your friends ordered a number of dishes. One thing that they did not enjoy was the $285 fish apparently it was very big and it was dry and they left half of it on the table. Overall service was amazing, good vibes pretty good food. Definitely worth it for the view, but the food in my opinion was okay read more

Carbone Riviera - Italian Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I've now been to Carbone Riviera twice. The first with friends, and then again with my husband to celebrate his birthday. It's one of those places that feels completely different depending on when you go. My first visit was supposed to be a patio night, but it was just too cold to sit outside. That gave me the perfect excuse to come back, and choosing a sunset reservation ended up being the best decision. Watching the space transition from daytime views to the glow of evening on the Strip made the experience feel extra special. The restaurant itself is stunning, filled with thoughtful design details everywhere you look. The patio here is also the closest I've ever felt to the Bellagio Fountains! You're truly right on top of the action. When we were seated, our cushions were still wet, but once I mentioned it, the staff replaced them immediately, which I really appreciated. Compared to Carbone, this concept feels much more seafood-forward. We leaned fully into that and ordered the lobster meatballs (which apparently sell out often), red Sicilian prawns, scallops, branzino, and yellowtail Cinese. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and dining with the fountains going off in the background elevated the entire meal. One thing to note: there is a food and beverage minimum per person for patio seating, but for the views and overall experience, it felt worth it for a special occasion. If you're deciding when to go, I highly recommend timing your reservation around sunset for the full day-to-night transformation. read more

We celebrated our anniversary dinner here and it was the BEST EXPERIENCE! We chose the outside seating which comes with $175 minimum spend per person but it is totally worth it! The breathtaking views of strip, bellagio fountains and Eiffel Tower, can't be beat. Food is to die for! Everything we had was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend their Caesar salad and spicy Rigatoni. Our server Blake was amazing and the entire team worked together so well! I can't wait to come back. read more

Got lucky with a reservation here last weekend and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The restaurant is a bit hard to find inside the resort as the entrance is located downstairs from the main casino floor. We sat outside to watch the Bellagio fountains and it was really cool seeing it from that angle. Warning for the ladies with wavy or frizzy hair...you might feel some drizzle/mist, especially on a windy day. Anyhow, the service was wonderful and the food was outstanding! We started with some warm bread, and ordered the Caesar salad which is prepared table side. Delicious! The giant, buttery croutons on top were a game changer. The filet was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy. We also tried the spicy rigatoni vodka pasta. It was a delicious blend of tomato and cream. I didn't think it was spicy at all. Loved everything we tried and would definitely like to visit again. read more

So, I had an absolutely magical experience at Carbone Riviera on my birthday, March 9th. I was incredibly lucky to snag a reservation on my actual birthday, which made the evening even more special. We arrived a few minutes before our 5 PM reservation time. There were already quite a few people waiting, so I highly recommend making a reservation in advance. Carbone Riviera is extremely popular and currently the hottest spot in Vegas. I saw many people turned away because they didn't have a reservation. So, make sure to secure yours! Upon arrival, we checked in and were greeted by a friendly staff member who called us by our names. They then escorted us to our seats. We had a reservation for the patio deck overlooking the water fountains, which I highly recommend. There's a minimum spend of $175 per person, but it's not too much. Just keep that in mind before requesting the patio. Our seat was the best on the deck. It was so beautiful that I couldn't stop taking pictures and videos. The ambiance was magical, and I was so grateful for the experience and the opportunity to celebrate my birthday in such a stunning location. The food was absolutely magnificent. Every dish we had was incredible, and the service was impeccable. I ended the night with a beautiful baci chocolate cake. I highly recommend the Bronzino as well. I think I overate a bit yesterday, but it was my birthday, and I was at the most beautiful place. Don't forget to check out the little Riva boat on the side. It's one of 18 in the world worth a few million dollars. Take her there for her birthday or take yourself there. Life is all about experiences, and this is one that you won't want to miss. Oh, and the vibe at Carbone Riviera is so sexy! read more

Really wanted to like this place, but it was a pass. Food is mediocre at best. Price is not worth it.

I really loved this new spot in Vegas. I want to figure out how I can get a boat ride, but even without it, the food is worth the trip! I sat at the bar and was well taken care of. I had the crudo to start and it was really good albeit spicy. Then I had the salmon, which was phenomenal. Some of the best salmon I've ever eaten. The espresso martini was also fantastic! Really enjoyed my first visit and can't wait to go back with friends! read more

Carbone absolutely lives up to the hype if you can get a reservation. The must-orders are the spicy rigatoni vodka pasta and the tableside Caesar salad--both are standouts. The vodka pasta is rich, perfectly balanced, and easily one of the best versions out there. The Caesar salad is a whole experience on its own, prepared tableside and dressed just right, which makes it feel extra special. The vibe is classic, old-school Italian-American with a lively, upscale feel that makes it great for a night out or celebration. read more

First time here, & it was exceptional! It was our 44th anniversary & it will be a memorable one. The greeting at the desk was warm, the service was great & the food outstanding. Of course the view was the star. We are locals so we can choose from many restaurants often & we really enjoyed the experience at Carbone Riveria! read more
