Picasso opened with the Bellagio in 1998 and remains one of the longest-running fine-dining rooms on the Strip. The walls are hung with original Picassos owned by the resort; the floor is Picasso-inspired mosaic. Chef Julian Serrano's French-Mediterranean tasting menus blend tradition with seasonal Mediterranean produce and game.
The terrace tables overlook the Bellagio fountains — the most-requested seats in the restaurant, and worth requesting at booking. Service is formal but warm; jackets are recommended though no longer strictly required. Two Michelin stars and a long list of awards keep the kitchen sharp. Set aside three hours and budget accordingly.
