BELLAGIO UNVEILS NEW BRUNCH AND DINNER MENUS AT WOLFGANG PUCK’S SPAGO
Renowned for igniting Las Vegas’ dining scene into the culinary epicenter it is today, celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck continues to innovate with the debut of new brunch and dinner menus at his flagship restaurant, Spago at Bellagio Resort & Casino. The fresh take on elevated culinary presentations includes handmade pastas, all-natural meats and specialty seafoods as the stars of the show, with each dish skillfully created using seasonal ingredients and precise cooking techniques for which Puck is known.
“Spago has been a driving force for creative ingenuity since its inception and I continue to stay true to my philosophy of transforming the expected into something entirely new for my guests,” said Chef Puck. “Each market-driven dish we’ve created is inspired by different cultures and culinary viewpoints, resulting in unexpected dining experiences that deliver the best quality, taste, and presentation season after season.”
The Menu
A nod to California’s multicultural dining scene, Spago’s new menus focus on locally sourced ingredients; European and Asian flavors and techniques; and a fusion of tastes and aromas that excite the senses.
Dinner menu highlights include:
- MARYLAND BLUE CRAB CAKES – This classic seafood delicacy features tender pieces of crab meat, prepared to perfection. A rich and creamy basil pesto aioli and colorful medley of tomato-red pepper relish accompanies the dish.
- WOOD OVEN ROASTED CRYSTAL BLUE PRAWNS – Delicate prawns are toasted in a wood-fired oven to enhance the natural sweetness, while also adding a subtle smoky flavor. Calabrian chili butter, parsley and lemon are lightly poured over the prawns and served with a side of ciabatta toast.
- HAND-CUT FETTUCCINE PASTA – The handmade fettuccine pasta incorporates earthy ingredients such as freshly foraged mushrooms, shallots and parsley to create a simple, yet elevated Italian classic.
