Celebrity chef Bobby Flay’s love of Italy is readily apparent at his Caesars Palace restaurant, Amalfi by Bobby Flay. There’s ambience to spare, from the seaside-resort feel of the décor to the display of fresh fish offered on any particular day. You can select the exact fish you want, whether grilled whole or filleted and served with your choice of anything from Meyer lemon and capers to Calabrian chili pesto.

You’ll really find plenty to dig into on the antipasti menu. In addition to charred octopus, mussels and tuna tartare, Flay has spiced things up with roasted garlic soft scrambled eggs and crispy squash blossoms. Pasta courses are designed for both fans of seafood (squid ink fettucine, spaghetti limone with Dungeness crab) and vegetarians (crushed pea agnolotti and orecchiette, smothered in eggplant Bolognese).
