Celebrity chef Fabio Viviani is bringing a fresh wave of Italian cuisine to Las Vegas with the upcoming opening of ai Pazzi this July. The new restaurant will anchor the recently renovated JW Marriott Las Vegas The Resort At Summerlin, combining Viviani’s signature style with timeless Italian dishes.
A taste of Viviani’s Italy
“Ai Pazzi is a celebration of everything I love about Italian food—bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and the joy of sharing a great meal with great company,” said Chef Fabio Viviani. “At ai Pazzi, we’ve created a space that’s both refined and welcoming, where every dish—from handmade pastas to indulgent desserts—is crafted with intention and passion. I can’t wait for guests to experience our unique take on classic Italian cuisine in one of the most exciting destinations in the country.”
The menu will feature handmade pastas like Short Rib Agnolotti with Taleggio crème and summer black truffle, as well as seafood highlights such as Maine Lobster Linguini and Mediterranean Branzino. Meat lovers can look forward to Bistecca alla Fiorentina, a 32-ounce porterhouse finished with roasted garlic and Tuscan olive oil.
More than dinner
Guests can start their meal with small plates like Crostino with roasted mushrooms and black truffle prosciutto cotto or Fabio’s Wagyu Meatball topped with whipped ricotta. To end on a sweet note, ai Pazzi’s dessert offerings include tiramisu with espresso-soaked ladyfingers, lemon ricotta cake with champagne strawberries, and sticky toffee date pudding with vanilla bean gelato.
The restaurant’s bar program will focus on Italian spirits and creative cocktails. Highlights include Snap Outta It! made with Hendrix Gin, limoncello, and ginger syrup, and Montenegro Nights featuring bourbon, caramel syrup, and Amaro Montenegro garnished with toasted marshmallow.
