    This cafe is located in the Venetian hotel. The staff were super friendly and informative. My husband and I ordered the Dubai Cannoli($10), ($10) Pistachio cream Cannoli and the Pistachio heart croissant. ($13)I originally wanted the rolled pistachio croissant but they were out of it. All were delicious! The Cannolis were not too sweet which we liked. The pistachio heart croissant was good, but I do wish the filling was evenly distributed on the inside. Only one side of the heart had the filling. The prices are premium, but it was a given since we were on the Vegas strip. If you are willing to spend a bit more on something sweet, definitely check this place out.

    Very nice pastry shop in Grand Canal shops. St. Mark's Square. The pastries are over the top Vegas style and quite tasty. They also have an extensive savory menu and plenty of seating. It opens earlier than most other bakeries in the Venetian at 7am.

    Sphere croissants

    03/06/2026 My friend and I made sure to check out this bakery on our Vegas trip after we saw pictures of their unique croissants. There was no line on a Friday around noon. The Rolly Croissants, Cube Croissants, and Sphere Croissants all looked so good, it was hard to choose. We got the strawberry Sphere Croissant and a creme brûlée croissant. The sphere was hard to cut into given its shape and all of the layers. Inside of it was a strawberry filling, which was probably the best part in my opinion. The creme brulee croissant was not bad. The staff were friendly and patient. Overall, I'm glad we finally checked this place out, but I think it was overpriced for what you get - picture-worthy pastries without the taste & texture that would keep you reaching for another bite.

    Pastry and butterscotch latte

    This is my first stop when I arrive in Vegas and each morning of my stay, I love this delicious little spot tucked away in St Mark's square. Often times there is a line and this is the only line you will ever see me stand in, and that is because everything at this place is wonderful from the service to the freshly squeezed orange juice to the fabulous selection of freshly baked sweets and the rest of the food and beverage. I tend to opt for the butterscotch latte and an omelette and sometimes a croissant to split and every-time, everything is perfection! This place is my favorite guilty pleasure.

    I can't speak to the bakery aspect of this place, but can tell you that the dinner was fabulous! The linguini with fresh bolognese was outstanding. Huge portion -- and I couldn't stop before finishing it all. My friends both had a pizza and loved it! The atmosphere is fine and service was good. I'd go again in a heartbeat!

    Tiramisu sphere croissant

    When you first walk into Zeppola Cafe you are already pulled in by their beautiful variations on filled croissants (rolly, sphere, regular). We got: - Tiramisu Sphere croissant (~$20) - 4/5. The croissant texture tasted more like bread than a croissant, but the cream was delicious. It comes with a little syringe dropper of espresso. Last time we got their pistachio cream croissant and it was so good. - Pistachio cream latte - 3/5. Not overly sweet, but the pistachio flavor gets lost after you stir - Prosciutto arugula pizza - 5/5. Loved how flavorful this was, I think there's burrata on here as well Service is a bit slow - we got a beeper to let us know when the latte was done, but it took overall about 10 minutes for our drink. We also went around 4pm and they told us we couldn't sit inside because they turn into a restaurant. Since we couldn't find any chairs out in the plaza, we went to go eat at the food court nearby.

    During my visit to Las Vegas I stopped at this location because I had seen the reviews on social media. Impressive croissants. Square ones, round ones representing the sphere. I had a plain one. It was huge and good. My daughter ordered a breakfast sandwich with siracha sauce. It was very good and not skimpy. The place was super cute and decorated nicely. Staff was also very nice and friendly. Expensive but worth the experience.

    Egg & Spinach Focaccia
    John J.

    This is a popular bakery in Venetian Shops. Takeout and small tables to sit as well. Food (4/5) - menu has some very appealing looking pastries - especially the cannoli's and croissants. - Egg and Cheese Focaccia - it was just ok.. .bit on the dry side but tasted okay. - M&M Latte - a pure novelty latte which was fine in itself but with a mug encrusted with chocolate, M&Ms and whipped cream. Too sweet and rich for me but can see how sweet tooths would like it. Service (3.5/5) - it was a bit slow. Not a lot of people in there ordering coffees or breakfast and my order still took on the longer side to get. Atmosphere (3.75/5) - has a NYC deli style feel to it. Clean and bright interior with some small tables inside and also outside. Overll (3.75/5) - worth a shot if you are in the mood for some sweets in the Venetian Shops.

    Mortadella sandwich on fresh baked bread
    Tasia D.

    This place was amazing but EXTREMELY hard to find. It was hidden through a shopping area of the Venetian hotel. Beautiful walk through the hotel where the canals are, but by the time we got there a lot of the goods were gone but we were able to find some gems! The hot mortadella sandwich with pesto and fresh mozzarella was outstanding. The bread was so fluffy and delicate, I'd go back just for that! The cube croissants need to be ordered fresh, you could tell they were a couple hours old, the out side was a bit tough. But the filing was spectacular so make sure you get there early if that's what you're after.

    We were staying at the Palazzo for the first time as part of our Backstreet Boys at the Sphere package. We went on a hunt to find breakfast the morning of the show and found Zeppola cafe. It was so good! I had such a hard time deciding what to order breakfast it all looked amazing I ended up getting a bagel and lox and it was delicious! Not shown was a Nutella latte YUM. I was impressed with how fast the service was. Highly recommend.

    Nutella croissant, coffee and focaccia ham/cheese. Yummy!
    Sandra S.

    Had a chance to visit this cafe for quick breakfast items and they were fantastic! Set in the ambiance of Marks square at the Venetian, Las Vegas brings New York pastries and food to the city. I had the pistachio latte, coffee, Nutella croissant and the ham/cheese focaccia and it was delicious. The rolly tiramisu croissant and pistachio croissant looks amazing as well! Haven't had a chance to eat it yet but I'm looking forward to it. Light, buttery and fresh...the baker only makes the items first thing in the am and they mentioned that once they run out that completes the inventory. So come and get your sweet treat soon. Overall the coffee was wonderful and I woul definitely come back and enjoy these items again upon my return to Vegas!

    This is my first time here! The restaurant is located inside the Venetian at the Grand Canal Shoppes. This is a hopping place with a great view! There are a lot of people here! For our drink, we are each having a glass of Prosecco. This is delicious! I don't often drink this. For my appetizer, I'm having the Caesar Salad. This is a unique way to serve it! The croutons are huge! They're like baguettes. The serves entire leaves of romaine lettuce! Nice presentation! I love the dressing! This is a great salad! For my entree, I'm having the Chicken Marsala. Chicken Marsala is a classic Italian-American dish featuring pan-fried chicken cutlets and mushrooms in a rich, savory sauce made from Marsala wine, chicken stock, and herbs, often thickened and garnished with parsley. The key ingredient is Marsala wine, which provides a signature nutty, slightly sweet flavor, with dry Marsala generally preferred for savory cooking. The dish is typically served over pasta, mashed potatoes, or polenta. This is unbelievably good! It's hot with nice presentation. I asked for lots of chili pepper and I got it! These guys are good! For dessert, we ate having cheese cake and a cannoli. Wow! These are great! What a great meal here!

    I stopped by for brunch. It's a cute cafe with seating inside, on the piazza (patio), and upstairs overlooking the piazza. I love pastries and I have to say that they to make an amazing croissant! They have the traditional cornetto but they also have a cube, spiral, and sphere all filled with various flavors like Nutella, pistachio, strawberry, or dulce de leche. I know these sellout fast because by 1pm, many were gone. They even make a cube croissant breakfast sandwich! This is so huge and filling. We also got the salmon eggs benedict, pancakes, and a schiacciata prosciutto San Daniele panini. They have so many options for classic and extravagant drinks. Their pistachio latte is a MUST!

Make the reservation lol. First, the cocktails. I'm admittedly a cocktail snob and not easy to wow, but the strawberry gin cocktail and the passion fruit gin cocktail were both 10/10. My husband is currently busy trying to reverse engineer the recipes that's how much we loved them! The garlic bread was exactly what garlic bread should be: thin, buttery, garlicky, and dangerously easy to inhale.

Another person at our table got the Gorgonzola pasta which he absolutely loved. Another friend ordered a cocktail which she said was strong and delicious. There is an outdoor patio that looked really nice. Would love to come back and try another dish and dine al fresco on a beautiful Las Vegas day.

I went for the Taste of Scarpetta fixed price menu ($120), which gives you four courses. Everything I had was exemplary and I found the portion sizes perfect. I felt like I had plenty to eat but was still ready to attack the blackjack tables. The tuna crudo with chili oil was delightful and so flavorful. My second course was the famous spaghetti, which I would walk over broken glass for. You might think, oh big hooey, spaghetti. But no. Scarpetta's recipe tastes like a summer's day, as though someone went for a walk in their backyard garden picking tomatoes and herbs. This is a must-get; it's simple but perfect. The main entree was skillfully seared scallops with pea puree and sauteed spring vegetables. Dessert is a small sampling for four different sweets. Service was slick and very capable; the decor is restful and comfortable. It's not as showy as many other places at this resort, but everything is tasteful and upscale, and many of the tables in the main room have a great view of the Bellagio fountains next door. I couldn't really find any nits to pick here; I would absolutely return.

They start you off with bread which were not very tasty. They were a bit dry and lacking in flavor. It was a shame because they give you a small container filled with olive oil to dip your bread in. We ordered a glass of Barolo and the Dante's Infante cocktail. The cocktail was refreshing and strong. My husband wanted to try wine but there werent many options for wines sold by the glass and there was only one option for Baralos so he ordered that. The Baralo was just average for $30 per glass and it was unfortunate that there weren't more options to choose from. We ordered the Polpo ( octopus) appetizer. The flavors were well balanced and the pureed canellini beans paired well with the octopus but the octopus was too cold. Not sure if it was supposed to be served like but I've never had octopus that cold before and the consistency was a bit harder because of the temperature. For our entrees, we ordered the pappardelle with lobster, scallops and truffle. The pasta was perfectly al dente and amazing. There were 2 beautifully cooked and tender scallops. There were a few garnishes of truffle that were shaved thick enough that I was able to chew into the texture. I wish there were larger pieces as the shaved pieces were small sized in diameter. But overall the pasta itself was cooked perfectly. This was far the best dish. We also ordered the Branzino which I wish I hadn't because there was a very wierd flavor profile.. I ordered it thinking it was going to have crispy skin but the skin was very soggy. It seems they changed the method of cooking the branzino as compared to previous photos uploaded by other yelpers. I was a bit disappointed when the branzino came out because the whole fish was butterflied ( sliced in half with tail in tact) and looked like the skin side had at one point been fried but it was soggy and soaked in the sauce. I was not particularly a fan of the sauce. I tasted a strong flavor profile of cinnamon for some reason even though there was no cinnamon mentioned on the menu. Two of the ingredients listed was guanciale and taragon. One of two ingredients may have been the flavors I tasted which did not pair well with the fish. It ruined the natural flavor of the fish as they overpowered the natural flavor of the branzino. Any time I get a chance to order the Branzino, I am usually satisfied or impressed but have never been disappointed. I think my favorite restaurants where I had exceptionally cooked branzinos were on the Vegas strip. At one of restaurants on the strip which I have ordered numerous times and is a very well known restaurant which I will name nameless ...it was cooked similarly, butterflied, in a buttery lemon sauce but the skin was still crispy. A second restaurant on the strip... the branzino was smoked and roasted on charcoal with a tomato based sauce. I guess I can't help but compare because this restaurant is priced similar to two very popular restaurants on the strip but fell short. Our waiter Diego was great and best personality and made our experience memorable. Overall the best dishe was the handmade pasta. The lack of options for wine by the glass was a bit saddening. The cocktail was unique and strong. But I regret getting the branzino. I am not sure I would go back

Along with Monzú, it's the reason "destination Italian" and "off-Strip" can appear seriously in the same sentence. But nobody needs another review to make that point. Anyone with sense has already said the nice things about Esther's, and they were right, and I'd just be adding another voice to a very crowded chorus.

Unfortunately, the rest of the meal didn't live up to the hype. My tagliatelle was too dry for my taste. My husband ordered the steak with rigatoni. While the steak was cooked perfectly, the rigatoni was dry and overly salty. The bean sprouts and potatoes were also much too salty. Another downside was the temperature inside the restaurant. It was uncomfortably warm, and both of us were sweating throughout dinner, which made the experience less enjoyable. Overall, I don't think this restaurant lived up to all the hype. There were a few standout items, but between the dry and salty pasta dishes, the overly salty sides, and the uncomfortable dining room, it's not a place I would return to.

Tortellini Ragu (3/5): Loved the ragu sauce & meat, I felt the tortellini was a little too rich but I think thats personal preference. Couldve came with more meat for $38. I wouldnt order again Tiramisu (5/5): Soooo good, definitely recommend. its enough for two people Tip: Make reservations in advance as its very popular. If you dont, you may get lucky and snag a spot at one of the two bars inside like we did!

    We dined at Carbone for my birthday, and because even after all these years reservations are hard…read moreto come by, ours was for 9pm and we were seated closer to 9:25. The restaurant is much larger than meets the eye and we were seated in the small back room with the additional bar. There were quite a few tables open. Service was attentive and professional. We ordered a bottle of wine which they kept chilled and always made sure to refill our glasses as needed. I was a huge fan of the complimentary starters and to be honest I think they were my favorite part of the meal. A member of the staff comes to your table to serve a chunk of parmesan cheese cut right off the block. You also receive a bowl of pickled cauliflower, a beautifully presented salami rose plate, and a basket of 3 types of fresh bread. Our waiter informed us that everything was served family style and meant to be shared, so I found it interesting that they split our order of Spicy Rigatoni Vodka for us. It's one of their most well-known dishes and we really enjoyed it. The Octopus Pizzaiolo was delicious, especially with the inclusion of the crispy potatoes. The thick piece of fish on the Salmon Oreganata was beautiful but the salmon itself lacked a bit of seasoning. They bring around a dessert cart but we opted out as nothing caught our eye and we were pretty full. They brought out a small birthday dessert with a candle, which was delicious and always appreciated.

    This was my first time at this location. I have dined at the Peoria local quite a few times so I…read morewas excited to try this one. We were seated as soon as we walked in. We had reservations at 5pm so it wasn't busy yet. The dining was very nicely furnished. They have about the same amount of seating on the patio as in the dining room with a bar and high top tables in the middle. I asked if the White Truffle Garlic Bread could be made gluten free. I was so happy to hear that they can. I felt like I had died and gone to cheesy heaven.before I developed my wheat allergy I ordered garlic bread anywhere it was in the menu. It's one of my favorite foods. So when I say theirs is quite possibly the best I've ever had in my life, it means something. We ordered family style for the entrees. We ordered the Bolognese Pappardelle, Strozzapreti, Ricotta Cavatelli( subbed gf pasta), Chicken Scarpariello and Short Rib Lumache. They were all absolutely delicious. Dessert did not disappoint either. We ordered the Brookie sundae and the Tiramisu. I couldn't have the Tiramisu but I was told that it was great. The Brookie sundae was a fun dessert. It came with vanilla, pistachio and chocolate gelato, whip and some sort of cake on the bottom. I didn't go all the way down because of my stupid allergy again. The gelatos were all good. It came with a side dish with strawberries and nuts and little chocolate balls. I can't wait to go back again. Next time I'll tell the rest of the table to get their own garlic bread so I don't have to share mine. I'll have dreams about that bread. So heavenly!!!!

    I recently visited North Italia and had a great experience. Even though it was busy, we were seated…read morepretty quickly, and the customer service was excellent throughout our visit. Out of everything we ordered, my favorites were the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, Chicken Pesto, and the Pepperoni Pizza with Hot Honey. The Chicken Pesto was a little more lemony than I expected, but I would still order it again because it was very good. The Spicy Rigatoni Vodka had the perfect amount of spice not too spicy, but enough to give it great flavor. The Strozzapreti and White Truffle Garlic Bread were not my personal favorites, but my family really enjoyed both of them. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere were great, and I would definitely come back.
