“The next chapter focuses on classic Italian cuisine by way of New York’s long and storied history of Italian-inspired, iconic neighborhood restaurants.”
Caesars Entertainment and Tao Group Hospitality have introduced Stanton Social Italian at Caesars Palace, a reimagined dining experience from acclaimed Chef and Restaurateur Chris Santos. This evolution of the celebrated Stanton Social brand delivers modern twists to classic Italian dishes and an energetic vibe to the heart of the Las Vegas Strip.
Stanton Social’s foundation of shareable, globally inspired dishes has always been its cornerstone going back to its inception on the Lower East Side of New York City in 2004. Maintaining the dynamic energy of the Caesars Palace restaurant, the reimagined concept mixes bold flavors, elevated presentations and a stylish, social atmosphere that guests have come to know at the dining destination.
“The next chapter for Stanton Social focuses on classic Italian cuisine by way of New York’s long and storied history of Italian-inspired, iconic neighborhood restaurants from Little Italy to the Bronx,” said Chef Santos.
“This fresh and whimsical approach to the menu maintains the balance of creativity and familiarity that defines the brand’s communal dining experience while embracing a style of cuisine that’s universally loved.”
The new menu features a curated selection of modern Italian dishes designed for sharing, including Fritto Misto with calamari, shrimp, squash, cherry peppers, arrabbiata sauce and preserved lemon aioli.
Guests can enjoy the Heirloom Tomato Salad with whipped burrata, balsamic vinegar and basil pesto and Hamachi Crostata with yellowtail, confit cherry tomato, red onion, basil and sesame lavash. Pasta lovers can indulge in the House-Made Cavatelli Wagyu Bolognese, served with fresh herbs and parmesan.
In addition, guests can expect tableside experiences such as the Extra Crispy Chicken Parmigiana with San Marzano tomato sauce and mozzarella fondue, as well as the showstopping Super Tomahawk featuring Barolo-braised short ribs and bone marrow flambeed to perfection.
For dessert, visitors can indulge in the Limoncello Tiramisu layered in lemon curd and citrus mascarpone mousse and Spumoni “Milkshake” with pistachio mousse, cherry compote, brownie bites, mascarpone Chantilly and an edible chocolate cup.
“We know our guests love Italian cuisine and exciting dining experiences, and Stanton Social Italian delivers on both of those expectations,” said Caesars Palace SVP and General Manager Terrence O’Donnell.
“We are proud of our longstanding partnership with Tao Group Hospitality, and the new menu is a perfect combination of Chef Santos’ creative takes on familiar flavors, pairing classic Italian dishes with dynamic presentations.”
Stanton Social Italian is open from 5-10 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays and 4:30-10:30 p.m. Fridays through Sundays. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays. For more information and to make a reservation, visit caesars.com/caesars-palace/restaurants/stanton-social-italian.
