Planet Hollywood Welcomes a New Italian Gem
Las Vegas continues to embrace its love for retro-inspired themes, and the latest addition to the Strip is Caramella, an Italian restaurant set to debut at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino this winter. This highly anticipated spot will bring the flavor and flair of 1970s Italy, combining classic Italian dishes with a nostalgic vibe, designed by the team behind some of Vegas’ most exciting restaurants.
Retro Vibes Meet Italian Cuisine
Caramella is more than just a restaurant—it’s a step back in time to the glamorous and politically charged 1970s Italy. The Tao Group Hospitality, known for their high-energy venues like Lavo and Stanton Social Prime, has crafted an immersive dining experience at Caramella, complete with stylish interiors and a candy shop for those who want to indulge their sweet tooth after a delicious meal. Set on the mezzanine level of Planet Hollywood, adjacent to the Criss Angel Theater, Caramella is poised to capture attention with its eye-catching design and vibrant atmosphere.
A Menu to Savor
Curated by Tao Group’s Chief Culinary Officer, Ralph Scamardella, the menu at Caramella will offer a delectable array of Italian-inspired dishes, including prime steaks, chops, and bowls of pasta, all with a Tuscan twist. Guests can expect rich, indulgent sides served à la carte and flavors that transport diners to the heart of Italy. Scamardella is known for his ability to balance traditional Italian flavors with modern techniques, making Caramella a true culinary destination on the Strip.
Joining a Thriving Dining Scene
Caramella isn’t Tao Group’s first foray into Italian cuisine in Las Vegas. The group also runs Lavo at the Palazzo and Luchini at the MGM Grand. However, Caramella stands out not only for its unique 1970s-inspired décor but also for the addition of the candy shop, which will offer a fun, interactive element to the dining experience. Guests will be able to explore a wide selection of candies, a perfect way to wrap up an evening of indulgence.
Location and Exciting Surroundings
Caramella is part of a larger food and entertainment expansion at Planet Hollywood. The restaurant will open in the same year as a new food hall in the Miracle Mile Shops, bringing in popular spots like Fat Sal’s, Dave’s Hot Chicken, and Lobster Me. This move continues to bolster Planet Hollywood’s reputation as a top destination for both entertainment and dining.
Opening and What to Expect
With an opening date set for winter 2025, Caramella is expected to draw crowds looking for a mix of great food, fun, and nostalgia. Whether you’re visiting for a stylish Italian meal or grabbing a treat from the candy shop, Caramella is sure to become a staple on the Las Vegas Strip, offering an immersive throwback to Italy’s golden era.
