Can’t swing the Amalfi Coast this year? Chef Nicole Brisson offers the next best thing, and you don’t even need a passport. Step into Brezza at Resorts World Las Vegas and you’ll feel instantly transported to the Italian coast, where the Mediterranean breeze is replaced by the waft of the aromas of fresh herbs and just-seared seafood.

The setting evokes the Italian Riviera with subtle elegance: stone walls, warm woods and an olive tree-lined patio with a Strip view that somehow feels more romantic than showy. Whether it’s a sun-drenched lunch or an intimate evening, Brezza captures that elusive Italian ease and elegance that makes you forget you’re in the heart of the Vegas Strip.

Brisson—who earned her stripes in authentic Italian kitchens—delivers a modern coastal Italian menu that feels both elevated and deeply personal. Her Slow Food philosophy and unwavering commitment to sustainable sourcing infuse every dish with intention and reverence for the ingredients.

The menu reads like a love letter to both sea and land, starting with the charred octopus, fresh oysters and Taylor Bay scallops that transport you straight to the Mediterranean. The lobster mezzaluna is a masterclass in balance, where sweet lobster, rich mascarpone and fragrant tarragon dance in quiet harmony. The whole fish, prepared tableside with theatrical flair, is an absolute showstopper that commands attention from tables nearby.

Don’t miss the corn agnolotti—pillowy pasta parcels filled with three Italian cheeses that are as silky as they are addictive. The chicken cacciatore, with tomatoes, olives and capers, is like a hug from your nonna, familiar and comforting. For carnivores, the dry-aged steaks are a must. The 100-day-aged 30-ounce ribeye delivers complex, nutty, truffle-like notes that only the rarest cuts achieve. It’s rich, unforgettable and worth every indulgent bite.

Brisson’s genius lies in her remarkable ability to honor time-tested Italian traditions while fearlessly embracing modern innovation and contemporary techniques. Every dish respects the seasons, celebrates pristine ingredients and delivers that unmistakable taste of la dolce vita with authentic passion.

So while you’re vacationing in the neon-drenched desert, take a culinary detour to Italy at Brezza. Your palate will thank you for the unexpected journey.
