Bellagio and Major Food Group to open seafood-focused Carbone Riviera

Bellagio Resort & Casino and Major Food Group will open Carbone Riviera, a new restaurant focused on seafood. 

The restaurant is expected to open this fall and will be located in the former Picasso space, near the Fountains of Bellagio.

Carbone Riviera was created by Major Food Group Co-Founders Mario Carbone, Jeff Zalaznick and Rich Torrisi, in partnership with MGM Resorts International. 

MGM Resorts Chief Content, Hospitality & Development Officer Ari Kastrati said: “Major Food Group has built a first-class culinary empire and is the perfect partner to help us bring to life a truly one-of-a-kind experience in such a treasured location.

“The luxury dining experiences created by Mario, Rich and Jeff have gained significant attention from guests globally. Their ability to generate strong, on-going interest with their offerings to discerning diners is noteworthy.”

Major Food Group Co-Founder Zalaznick said, “It is a tremendous honor to carry forward the incredible legacy of the Strip’s most important dining room with Carbone Riviera, a new member of the Carbone family that we have dreamed about creating for many, many years.

Good to know: the venue is designed by the Swedish architect Martin Brudnizki

“At last, thanks to our esteemed partners at Bellagio, we have found the perfect home for what will be the greatest seafood restaurant in the United States.”

According to Mario Carbone, Major Food Group Co-Founder, this marks the development of a new addition to the Carbone brand at Bellagio, designed to complement the original restaurant and introduce a new concept to the city’s dining scene. He added that Carbone Riviera aims to reflect years of experience and expertise in the culinary field.

In a separate development, MGM Resorts International subsidiary MGM Yonkers Inc. has recently submitted a casino license application to the New York Gaming Commission and the Gaming Facility Location Board.

Odds tell a story long before the result does. When bettors learn to read that story properly, betting becomes a matter of discipline and value rather than emotion or guesswork.
