On Friday, June 18, Amalfi by Bobby Flay at Caesars Palace hosted its highly-anticipated grand opening event, welcoming guests to the Amalfi Coast-inspired destination.
To commemorate the occasion, award-winning chef Bobby Flay was joined by Sean McBurney, Regional President of Caesars Entertainment, as well as Caesars’ CEO Tom Reeg and President and COO Anthony Carano, and business partner Laurence Kretchmer as they toasted with Amalfi Spritzes to the opening of the latest culinary destination.
The event began with remarks from McBurney and Flay, followed by a kabuki drop unveiling the stunning golden-arched front entrance, with a musical performance and toast concluding the moment. In addition to marking the occasion inside the casino, Caesars Palace’s front fountains reflected the celebratory spirit with an Amalfi takeover, as well as the restaurant’s logo brightly projected on the side of the iconic resort.
Amalfi brings Flay’s admiration for Mediterranean cuisine to life through its rustic elegance and bold, fresh menu. Dishes range from flavorful and light antipasti such as the Shellfish Fritto Misto with Meyer lemon aioli and pistachio pesto, and Charred Octopus with burnt orange and pancetta, to a robust selection of rich, fresh pasta including the Squid Ink Fettuccine with lobster, shrimp and Fra Diavolo sauce, and chef favorite, Scialatielli with a scampi sauce and basil. Additionally, the menu offers delectable insalate, carne and contorni selections. To finish on a sweet note, dessert staples include Bobby’s Pistachio Sundae made with pistachio gelato, dark chocolate sauce Amarena cherries, vanilla crema and chopped pistachios, as well as the Lemon, Lemon, Lemon, which consists of cake, custard and crisps, among others.
