The event began with remarks from Flay, followed by a kabuki drop unveiling the golden-arched front entrance, with a musical performance and toast.
“Opening Amalfi at Caesars Palace has allowed me to showcase my passion for the Amalfi Coast and the fresh flavors the region is known for,” Flay said. “Our team has created an incredible experience that brings everything I love about the Amalfi Coast to the Las Vegas Strip, from the various seating areas to the coastal cocktails, to the fresh fish market to all the seasonal flavors we are showcasing on the menu. We have been blown away by the guests’ response already, making me incredibly proud and excited for all that lies ahead.”
Amalfi brings Flay’s admiration for Mediterranean cuisine to life through its bold, fresh menu.
Dishes range from flavorful and light antipasti such as charred octopus with burnt orange and pancetta to a robust selection of fresh pasta including the squid ink fettuccine with lobster, shrimp and Fra Diavolo sauce, and chef favorite, scialatielli with a scampi sauce and basil.
