   It was a fine restaurant however, they didn’t have the bottle of wine we wanted and after trying two others that were okay they brought a third that we liked. The waiter said they were all the same price - the one we chose was $45 more. We found out when we got the bill. Also, our waiter “disappeared” although we could see him at other tables for at least 20 minutes after bringing the wine. A manager finally came and took our wine order and eventually the waiter came to take our food order. The food was delicious. The decor is quite eclectic - a little strange but I guess that’s Las Vegas for you. We were dressed up a little but a lot of the clients were wearing Khakis/jeans and t-shirts NOT business casual as stated on the reservation. O well

   The Holy “Trinity” of Appetizers! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If heaven has a restaurant, it’s probably Caramella at Planet Hollywood. My wife and I stopped by for dinner, and let me tell you—this place doesn’t just serve food; it serves religious experiences on a plate. We kicked things off with what I like to call the “Trinity” of appetizers. First up was the classic Caesar salad. Now, I’ve had my share of Caesars, but this one? Hands down, the best I’ve ever tasted! It’s so good I half-expected Julius Caesar himself to rise and give it a thumbs up. Crisp, creamy, and perfectly balanced—I’d eat this every day and twice on Sundays. Next, we moved on to the stuffed garlic French-style cheese bread. Imagine a garlic bread so good it could convince you to move to France and open a vineyard. Cheesy, garlicky, and sinful in all the right ways—this bread had us praising carb heaven with every bite. And then came the veal meatballs, which arrived smothered in a marinara sauce so delicious it had me calling my Italian grandma to apologize for ever thinking her sauce was the best. Tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, these meatballs are reason enough to book a return visit. By this point, we were stuffed to the brim, but somehow still wanted more—probably sorcery from the kitchen staff. Dessert was a glass of icewine, the perfect sweet ending to a perfect meal. And I can’t wrap this up without giving a huge shoutout to the service team: Jose, Eduardo, Derick, and Marie. These folks could teach a masterclass in hospitality! Friendly, attentive, and quicker than me going for that last piece of garlic bread—they made our night unforgettable. If you find yourself at Planet Hollywood, run (don’t walk) to Caramella. Just make sure to wear pants with an elastic waistband. 5.0 stars out of 5!

   The food was good, very small portion no bread with an Italian meal nor did they have the specialty cocktails available in the speakeasy. I was quite disappointed to say the least.

   We were excited to go to Caramella as we had heard such great things about it. We had made a reservation, but when we got there, they weren’t able to seat us for a little while. So we waited. When she finally brought us into the dining room it was more than half empty. Not sure why it took so long to get a seat? And then with this half empty dining room, the hostess seated us directly next to the door at a tiny table when there were clearly booths and nicer seats available. We asked to move & which she did finally move us, but the whole procedure took a long time and was completely unnecessary. The food is very expensive as expected for Vegas. Is it worth the expense? I’m not sure? We had the Caesar salad, which was surprisingly good and the eggplant appetizer. Also good. The spicy pasta was also decent , but not quite as good as I’ve had it other places. The waiter and service staff seem fine. But the whole room just had a strange vibe. It was very weird that the restaurant was more than half empty. I didn’t quite understand why? Also the vibes in general at this place just seems strange. Maybe it’s the ghost of Hotels past? lol . I don’t know but the energy just seemed a little off. It was super quiet in there, but not in a good way. Usually when we’re in Vegas, we expect a little bit more of life in our restaurants. Especially ones that are supposed to be so popular So overall, the food was pretty good, the price extraordinarily high, the atmosphere strange. Not sure if we would go back .
