Nudo Italiano
Nudo Italiano brings Strip royalty to the Southern Highlands. The wood-fired Neapolitan pies are nearly perfect
at Jenna and Michael Morton’s new, yet classic, Italian restaurant. It feels sleek, yet homey inside — a place to hang with family and enjoy an unforgettable pepperoni pizza with vodka sauce and honey.

Pisces Bar and Seafare
Feast on a savory trip across the Mediterranean at Wynn’s new seafood spot, Pisces. Feel like you’re aboard a luxury yacht crunching on pane sfogliato, a buttery Italian puff pastry. Stop in Spain for a crave-worthy sea bass ceviche. And close with a banger, a Basque cheesecake inside a meringue sphere, cracked tableside. Pisces is a Wynn’er!

Mediterranean food is the meal of the moment and, with the multitude of vegetable and seafood mezze at chef José Andrés’ latest Las Vegas restaurant, you can bring your pescatarian and plant-based besties for a tasty, affordable, family-style fete. Meat lovers, try anything with lamb in it — shoulder, chops, and, oh my! … the kebabs.

Chef Matt Meyer’s dry-aged pop-ups
I devoured a 17-course, dry-aged extravaganza atop the Sky Las Vegas recently. Chef Matt Meyer (former chef-owner of Henderson’s Served Global Dining and 138 Restaurant) plans to roll out a series of pop-up dinners at unexpected venues across the valley with dry-aged beef, duck, and fish. Judging from the arroz con pato I got to preview, this will be the food lover’s ticket this fall.

The selection of Asian food temptations feels limitless at this Korean super mart that just landed here in the desert. Find the craziest cool potato chips like octopus, fried crab, and garlic oyster! It’s a field trip for foodies.
