Sure, you could go to all the trouble to fight the crowds at the grocery store tonight only to find out they’re out of 14-pound turkeys and cranberry sauce. And don’t forget about all those dirty dishes and leftovers to find room for in the fridge. Make your day easy by booking a reservation at one of the restaurants at the Bellagio, each dishing out their own version of a feast fit for a pilgrim on Thanksgiving.
Osteria del Circo serves up Maccioni family Thanksgiving offerings such as braised salted cod, corn, semolina gnocchi, cannellini bean soup, black Tuscan kale, butternut squash dumplings, butter and sage with crunchy amaretto cookie and a turkey platter with traditional condiments and glazed chestnuts.

At Le Cirque, Sirio Maccioni and family have prepared an Italian-inspired four-course menu filled with family favorites.
