Tao Group Hospitality has left its luxurious stamp on too many concepts to count. The Tao touch is evident in all the little details: lush decor; intimate, if not outright sexy atmosphere; the unspoken expectation that you’re here to dine, but in a few hours you’ll be ready to dance. Beauty & Essex, Lavo, Stanton Social Prime—they all have those details. The company’s newest Italian concept, Caramella at Planet Hollywood, undoubtedly does too.

The shoe-shuffling sounds of Stevie Wonder’s “I Wish” pouring steadily out of Caramella’s speakers should have been the first sign. That exquisite taste in ’70s funk and soul—the very kind that put B.T. Express’ “Do It (‘Til You’re Satisfied)” on the map and on this playlist—matches the character of Caramella as a whole. Underneath a flattering, tangerine-hued glow, it embodies all the swagger of a Tuscan trattoria in its 1970s groove era.
