Carbone Riviera

Carbone Riviera is Major Food Group's coastal-Italian escalation of the Carbone formula, opened November 2025 in Bellagio's former Picasso space — which means the terrace looks straight onto the Fountains. Inside: a 33-foot Italian speedboat, actual Picassos and Renoirs on the walls, bow-tied captains, and a Riviera seafood menu priced like the art.

The menu's center of gravity is large-format seafood built for the table: the two-pound lobster fettuccine at $175, Dover sole at $155, a salt-crusted branzino for four-to-six at $325, and a 40-ounce Fiorentina at $465, alongside Carbone classics (the rigatoni and tableside Caesar carried over). Appetizers alone run $35-55. This is the most expensive Italian meal on the Strip, and it doesn't apologize.

Calibrate accordingly: plan $200-400 a head, book the fountain-view patio well ahead (those tables are the point and the scarcity), and expect a brand-new room still finding its final gear — the spectacle is fully operational, the pacing occasionally isn't. For a celebration dinner with the Fountains as the floor show, nothing newer competes.
