Catch of the Day: The Haute 5 Seafood Restaurants in Las Vegas

Bartolotta Ristorante di Mare

Looking for a more Italian feel? Check out Bartolotta Ristorante di Mare inside the Wynn. Bartolotta conveys a sense of whimsy with vibrant colors and playful details like the pseudo-Baroque chandeliers and brightly colored crown moldings with upside down ledges. There is also an outdoor dining area with a tranquil lake that takes you away from the usual Vegas environment. It’s almost like being on the Italian coast. The focus here is fresh seafood imported from the Mediterranean for a true taste of the Italian seaside. They also feature homemade pastas like the Risotto Ai Frutti Di Mare, risotto with clams, scallops, shrimp, langoustines, and calamari and the Lasagnette con Ragu Di Crostacei, which is “rags” of pasta, lobster, shrimp, langoustines, crab, white wine, and tomato. But that’s not all, they also specialize in species that are indigenous to the Italian Mediterranean, from whole fish like Orata, which is gilthead sea bream; Branzino, a sea bass, or the Dentice Imperiale, an imperial snapper. You feel like you’re eating in Italy!

Bartolotta Ristorante di Mare is located inside the Wynn Las Vegas, 3131 Las Vegas Blvd. South, 702-248-3463.
