Let's start off by saying that this is probably closer to 3.5 stars rather than 4 and that really just comes down to a few nitpicks on my end. I got a table for one and was taken to a table that was situated right behind the hostess stand, in the corner, and seemed just like an afterthought of a table. Servers and busboys and everybody else kept squeezing between my table and a column which made it seem a little intrusive. I got an Italian apple cider to drink, the 14 oz American wagyu ribeye, and the spaghetti chitarra fra diavolo. Of the three I was honestly most impressed by the cider. It is a sweet cider so it doesn't necessarily go with most food, but I quite enjoyed it. The steak was a very good size but also really fatty, which I usually enjoy, but this one had a bit too much. The steak came with a chipolini onion agrodolce which was the perfect accompaniment as it was a bit acidic and helped to cut through the fat, though for a steak that big, I wish there were two. I also had to ask for salt for the steak because it was under seasoned. The pasta was good but was also a little bit underwhelming. I feel like the shrimp were a bit overcooked and the pasta lacked in flavor if you didn't mix it well and get all of the ingredients in every bite. Another slight annoyance, but nothing that really ruined the meal, was that I asked for the pasta before the steak and they came out at the exact same time. This caused one to get cold while I was eating the other or caused me to switch back and forth between both of them which wasn't ideal. The service was very good and very attentive and professional and they checked in on me multiple times and refilled my water constantly. At the end of my meal, they didn't pressure me to leave, and let me sit there while I finished my drink which I appreciated. There was nothing inherently wrong with the meal, but for the price that I paid, (and I paid a lot) and how fancy this restaurant was billed to be, there were a lot of things that were underwhelming and should have been better.
We had a lovely apertife hour in las vegas in the Mandalay bay resort we also had the stuffed squash blossoms that were so delicious we didn't grab a picture of them
Dropped by for dinner with kiddos. It is a beautiful restaurant situated within Mandalay Bay near the rideshare area. My waitress was wonderful. Very thoughtful and check in frequently. I ordered a glass of Sauvignon blanc, grilled swordfish, and a side of eggplant. My daughters ordered some bread to start, cheese pizza and Bolognese pasta. Sauvignon blanc was surprisingly floral, refreshing and sweet. It went well with the fish. Swordfish was moist, delicious, went so well with tomato peso. The eggplant side was a delight. Love the sweet and sour play and appreciate the texture from the celery. Kids pasta was wonderful. The texture was right on. My little one finished the entire pizza. I ordered tiramisu and kids got chocolate sorbet. Yum! The complimentary chocolate with ginger mouse was surprisingly refreshing and not too spicy. It was a wonderful evening. Wonderful food and great service at a beautiful restaurant
We had a $50 a day food credit from booking Mandalay Bay through Costco Travel, which was a nice little bonus and gave us an excuse to try this Wolfgang Puck restaurant. Nothing is cheap in Vegas, but $50 off certainly helps. We started with a couple of drinks and a good glass of wine before dinner. I ordered the swordfish, which normally came with broccolini, but I asked if I could substitute mushrooms. There was a little debate about whether substitutions were allowed, but the asst asked the kitchen and they graciously made it happen. The swordfish was very good, the mushrooms worked great with it, and hopefully I didn't piss off Wolfgang Puck. (no.. I don't really think he works there in the kitchen). My wife ordered the scallops, and she really loved them. Rich, flavorful and nicely prepared. We finished by sharing the stracciatella dessert, which was also excellent and a great ending to the meal. The atmosphere was nice--still a little bit of that upscale Vegas hotel-restaurant feel, but comfortable and enjoyable. We ended up sitting somewhat tucked away in a corner. It was fine, but next time I'd probably ask to sit closer to the bar where there's a little more energy and people-watching. Service was decent, and overall we had a really nice night. We also had no problem getting a 7:00 reservation on a Friday night, although it's a pretty good-sized restaurant, so that probably helps. Overall, good flavors, quality food, nice atmosphere and an enjoyable evening with my wife. The prices are definitely on the high side, but that's pretty much expected on the Strip. The $50 Costco credit made it feel a little better. Good meal, good night, good memories. And yeah, a little expensive--but that's Vegas, baby.
Pop music at a fancy Italian restaurant is off putting but the food made up for it! Best octopus I've had in Vegas! Excellent and tender! The burrata was amazing! The swordfish was tender and perfectly cooked! The pork chop special was juicy and my husband loved it! Every person working at the restaurant treated us so well! Very impressed
Amazing place! Stopped in for drinks and a snack! Loved the marinated olives and the mushroom pizza! Sir full mod flavor and a great char on crust! The cocktails were over the top good! Our bartender Ryan is a true expert at making drinks!
Vegas was hot, we stumbled into Carama by Wolfgang Puck with no reservations or expectations on a Thursday night. Didn't want a super heavy pasta, the ravioli was a great delicate pasta ($33). The sauce had a refreshing lemon taste. The scallops($60) were plump, the risotto was a little more al dente than my taste. The service was good. The vodka tonic ($19) was refreshing. They mentioned that they could make all their pizza and pasta Gluten free but I didn't see mention on the menu.
A pretty place that made for a nice dinner with friends. It's very easy to find... ask to be dropped off at the Mandalay Bay rideshare area and it's literally RIGHT THERE. I love an easy to find place in Vegas' huge resorts. Our table was ready for our early reservation. Our server was super friendly almost the entire time - we did challenge him a bit at the end. There were specials and we went there - the special pizza was a white pie which I'm a sucker for, and a lasagna. We went all in on those two. We also did the bread board for the table (15). The focaccia was very good, but no one really cared for the sourdough, which was whole grain and not that appealing. I thought we needed a salad so we shared the grilled peaches with whipped ricotta (22). Everyone should get this. It's delicious and comes with this fantastic puffy bread for scooping. Along with the pizza and lasagna, we had the lobster tagliatelle (68). All of our mains were very good. I don't think the portions are meant for sharing - these feel more like smaller individual plates. I feel like we ordered a lot but it still didn't feel like that much food. Given that, we shared the cherry crostata (18), which again was really good but we should have ordered two desserts I guess. Maybe we're just spoiled by the huge American style dining portions? Our meal came to around $300. We asked our server to split it 2/3 and 1/3 and he seemed to have no patience for that request at all. He was nice about it but clearly not supportive of our idea. I suppose I understand. Everything we had here was tasty. It's a nice room and we didn't fell smashed into a space nor was the music too loud or the wrong fit. But it still fell just a little short for me in terms of being a 5-star meal or a place I'd rush back to.
As someone who absolutely loves Italian cuisine--and who has been fortunate enough to dine in several regions throughout Italy--I had high expectations when I made a reservation here. Somehow, they exceeded every one of them! From the moment we arrived, the beautiful ambiance and warm, attentive service set the tone for an unforgettable evening. The wait staff was genuinely outstanding--among the best service we've experienced anywhere. The meal began with warm, flavorful focaccia served alongside olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping. It was the perfect start. I ordered the beet salad with pistachio pesto, a combination I never would have imagined, yet every bite was fresh, vibrant, and incredibly delicious. My husband chose the Caprese salad made with creamy burrata, and it was equally exceptional. Then came the star of the evening--the ravioli. Without question, it was the best ravioli I've ever had, and that's saying something considering I've enjoyed wonderful pasta throughout Italy. The pasta was delicate and light, while the filling was rich and perfectly balanced. Fresh peas, beautifully prepared mushrooms, and an incredible sauce brought everything together in a dish that was both elegant and comforting. The mushrooms alone were some of the best I've ever tasted. To top off an already incredible evening, the restaurant surprised me with a complimentary birthday tiramisu. It was absolutely delicious and such a thoughtful touch that made the celebration even more special. This wasn't just a wonderful meal--it was a complete dining experience. Exceptional food, impeccable service, and a beautiful atmosphere make this a restaurant I'll gladly return to again and again. If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine done at the highest level, I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.
Caramá is Cara-mazing! We made a reservation prior to a concert at Allegiant. Right when we were seated they asked if we were going to see a show, so they could make sure we were out on time. I got the Rigatoni Bolognese. My SO went with the Chicken Saltimbocca. Astonishingly, the food was out in just about 10 minutes, and piping hot. The pasta was al dente, and the bolognese sauce was delicious. For dessert we tried the pistachio gelato. It was good, but quite rich. The service was outstanding, thanks to our waiter Fen. Overall, we had a great experience and the food was excellent.
Such a delightful experience. We came here with a reservation at 5:30. They seated us, and right away we had fantastic service. We had a server and a server assistant. The manager, Gianni, helped us pick a wine. He did t a little wine tasting with us, and it was great. He introduced us to some fantastic wines. The food is phenomenal. Everything was prepared perfectly and executed well. We got a little of everything. The bread, the cheese (so many to choose from), pasta, fish, broccoli. The fra diavolo pasta was my favorite. The pasta is house made. They make it to the perfect level of al dente. Inside it feel elegant without being pretentious. There are lots of tables for groups large and small. I love that they have circular tables. It makes it so much easier to chat with a larger group. You can sit at the bar and have a great cocktail. There is a second bar where they make the cheese and meat boards. The wine list is extensive! Ask for Gianni to help you decide. He was wonderful. This will be my go-to at Mandalay Bay.
I attended a work dinner at Carama with a large party and absolutely loved the food I tried. While I felt like the shareable apps we shared were underwhelming, the mains were fantastic. I shared the Wagyu ribeye and Spanish octopus with a coworker and we were too stuffed to even try dessert. The ribeye was truly tender, prime meat and was cooked perfectly. The octopus was phenomenal and more filling than expected with the other ingredients. I would definitely come back based on the ribeye and octopus and hopefully try the dessert next!
This restaurant is very classy with amazing food. This was not just a nice meal no no.. it was an experience! We experienced the professionalism and pride of the staff from check in, to being seating and our server(s). I watched the servers and the staff and the moved like watching a well oiled machine. We had multiple servers check on us and they were all very friendly and helpful. Wolfgang Puck created an amazing restaurant that fully trains their staff. They are top of the line. I look forward to dining here again. We started with the Arugula and Fennel salad with mandarin oranges, olives and dried tomatoes. The Italian dressing was very good. The oranges are the perfect match with the salad. My wife had the Gnocchi and it was divine. Cooked just right and the sauce was very tasty. I had the 50 Day Aged ribeye and OH MY GOD! The picture doesn't do it justice. It was perfectly cooked medium rare. I should've taken a better pic. It was mouth watering delicious!! It wasn't tough or dry. You won't be disappointed. To finish we had the pistachio Lava cake with a scoop of ice cream. Can I say OH MY GOD again? It has a pistachio filling that is warm and oozes out when you cut the bread. There were also roasted pistachios around the dessert. Like I said.. we didn't have dinner, we had a wonderful experience. Thank you!! You won't be disappointed.

We came here for my husband's birthday dinner, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The ambiance was fantastic and made the evening even more special. A special shoutout to Johnny, the manager, who truly went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. He was incredibly friendly, and welcoming. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests and takes pride in what he does. His hospitality really stood out and made our celebration even more memorable. We had such a great experience and would definitely come back again! read more

Went to Las Vegas to attend the Raiders and Chiefs football game. We made this our night one dinner. We had a reservation, but we opted to sit at the bar, very pretty and looked like it might be fun. The rating would probably be a five if not for one of the three bartenders seemed like she would rather be somewhere else, the dark haired male bartender, and the dark haired, female bartender were personable, knowledgeable, and totally involved. Third bartender, a blonde 30 something, never made eye contact and seemed like we were a bother. The food was absolutely extra extraordinary. The lobster pasta was maybe some of the best we've ever had anywhere in the world. Probably the most attractive and exciting food feature was the Caprese salad. I've attached a picture because it had such a unique presentation with the Burrata and some sort of basil sauce. Definitely worth your time. It can be a little pricey when you add a couple cocktails each, but it is Vegas. Comes with the territory. read more

The world food tour duo was at the Mandalay Bay to see Carlos Santana, so we dined at Caramá by Wolfgang Puck. I didn't order a bottle of wine, thinking that we'd be having drinks at the House of Blues so we both ordered gin & tonics, Tanqueray 10 for her, and Hendricks for me. We ordered the Mixed Artisanal Bread Board ($15), Baby Beet Salad ($25), and the Tagliatelle Pasta with Spanish Black Truffles ($85). A server poured olive oil and balsamic into a small dish when she delivered the bread board. There were three types: breadsticks, rosemary focaccia, and whole grain sourdough. I liked the latter, a nice, crisp crust, soft inside. Pieces of beets surrounded a round of buffalo mozzarella. They were topped with frisee, pistachio nuts and pesto, and a dressing of aged balsamic and olive oil. It was a visual and taste treat. The Tagliatelle Pasta was prepared tableside; our server shaved a generous amount of black truffle over the creamy cheese coated pasta. The aroma of truffle was intoxicating! We enjoyed our food in a relatively quiet environment with subdued lighting. We shared Traditional Tiramisu for dessert and coffee for me. The meal was very good but not outstanding ... I thought service could have been more attentive. Recommended; rating: 4.25. read more
We had a 9:30pm reservation and were seated right away. The host let us know last call was coming up soon, which I appreciated. The ambiance was clean and upscale, and they have a beautiful bar. We ordered the beef carpaccio, spaghetti chitarra fra diavolo, and linguine alle vongole. Everything was beautifully presented. The beef carpaccio was good especially with the mustard sauce, but the arugula was a little overpowering and made the dish slightly bitter. The biggest disappointment was the spaghetti fra diavolo. It lacked flavor and honestly tasted like canned tomato sauce. The linguine alle vongole was our favorite dish. It had great clam flavor and both pasta dishes were cooked perfectly al dente. My only complaint was that there were exactly seven clams in the dish which felt a little underwhelming given the price. The service was efficient and friendly throughout the meal. I also appreciated how accommodating the servers were with requests for extra condiments like parmesan cheese and chili flakes for the pasta. The experience wasn't bad but the flavors didn't quite live up to my expectations. Knowing it's a Wolfgang Puck restaurant, I was expecting a lot more and left feeling a bit disappointed. read more

While attending a conference in the adjacent convention space, several colleagues, my wife, and I dined at Carama. We secured a reservation several days in advance and good thing as it was packed for a Monday night at 6pm. The five of us were seated at a round table near the walkway. We started with some bourbons from their extensive menu and glasses of red wine. We also ordered a bread tray to start as well. All arrived quickly and we were off to a great start. Two of us got the meatball pasta dish, others got two pizzas, and a grilled swordfish. The meatballs were huge, bigger than a golf ball but smaller than a tennis ball. Hands down the table favorite. The pizzas were also good and I had no trouble finishing one by myself. Also got a thumbs up for the swordfish. For desserts, we ordered Zeppole fritters and stracciatella, which is a vanilla gelato served with a hot dark chocolate drizzle along with a second round of drinks. Both were recommended by the staff. We enjoyed our meal and chatting each other up. The restaurant is loud though so carrying a conversation can be tricky. Service was great and attentive. Several individuals took excellent care of us the entire evening. They also gave us great menu recommendations. read more

"Beyond my expectations" is a good way to sum up Carama. We landed here with no prior research . We ate at the bar - friendly service that was quite fast.. The meal was spectacular. One clams linguini, one lobster risotto, and one charred octopus. Each was outstanding. Got a bottle of $60 Sangiovese (yeah they did try to upsell me a little and there is an extensive wine list, but you can get some inexpensive gems on it). Dessert was even better. The gelato was deep and rich and dense. But the true hi light was the Amalfi lemon illusion cake!!! it looks to all outside views as a real lemon - but it's actually a combination of a cake in lemon emulsion that is beyond anything I've ever experienced . The best dessert, easily hands-down that I've ever had. Truly unique and delicious. Memorable in fact. Not an inexpensive meal- but a great value. read more

Let me start by saying our servers were excellent! I don't remember their names but they were informative and extremely friendly, grade A! My girl and I shared a 14oz Ribeye I believe it was, side of potatoes and Calamari. Food was really good, a bit salty for my liking but overall good! We also got an espresso martini and passion fruit drink. The place itself has very intimate lighting, family friendly and just a great experience. read more

Absolutely flawless dining experience from start to finish. Appetizers were well made, the main course filet was perfectly cooked, and the potatoes texture was unique and flavorful! One of the best desserts I have eaten all these long!! The service was professional, well educated in the menu and their preparation techniques. Ambiance was casual with some private tables in the back. Overall great layout and delicious food read more
Holy smokes What a pleasant surprise! Staying here at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and stopped into Caramá for the first time -- and it definitely won't be our last. Cinnamin & Arron were an amazing team and made sure every need was taken care of from start to finish. We started with the Caesar salad and the bread service, both absolutely phenomenal. For entrées, we had the sausage pizza, filet mignon, and the spring ravioli -- every dish was incredible. I highly recommend this spot if you're in Vegas. Stop in and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. The ambiance is super chill, the service was top-notch, and the food exceeded expectations! read more
Christian and Eric were great. Service amazing. We got there early, so it was quiet. It was filling up quick with a line when we left. Octopus was cooked perfectly. The fennel salad was a nice change from the normal Caesars salad . Mom like my lasagna more than her fish. We both enjoyed the pistachio lava cake and ice cream. Totally worth the visit with their handmade pastas!! read more
I dined at Caramá last week for dinner with my family; we were a party of six. The atmosphere inside strikes a really nice balance, it felt relaxed but still polished, with a moody, modern look that can easily lean to romantic depending on the moment. The service stood out immediately. Every staff member we interacted with was genuinely kind, professional, and patient. No one rushed us and they took the time to answer questions and explain the menu in a way that felt helpful rather than rehearsed. They were also very accommodating. I asked for a Sidecar cocktail even though it wasn't on the menu, and they made it without hesitation. It came out beautifully done and tasted exactly how it should. We ordered family style so we could try a variety of dishes, and I'm really glad we did because every single thing we tasted was excellent! The pizza was a highlight! The marinara had great depth of flavor and the dough itself was so well made that it stood out on its own. The steaks were cooked exactly to our requested temperatures, which sounds simple but is something that can be missed at restaurants. Here, it was done perfectly! What impressed me most was that some of the dishes had combinations that might seem unexpected at first, but everything worked together so well! There's definitely a level of skill and thought behind all the menu items, and it shows. There honestly wasn't a single thing I would have changed about the experience and meal. Between the food, service, and overall feel of the space, it all came together seamlessly. I would absolutely recommend Caramá and would go back without hesitation for any occasion! I had so many more pictures but I guess there's a maximum that can be added, so not all were able to be included with my review, unfortunately. read more
Definitely the best meal we had in Vegas. Service is amazing- great suggestions and super friendly. The food was awesome. Started with the bread board and omg amazing. I love a good bread and it all was so delicious. That focaccia is the stuff of dreams. Pasta was great- my friend has the gnocchi which def was my fave but my tagliatelle was also delicious and was a really big portion. Def recommend if you're staying nearby. read more
You know when you go to certain genres of restaurants and you have to try something regular to get a feel of it? Well one of mine is calamari. I think this may be the best calamari I've had. Incredibly tender and perfectly cooked. I wish I was hungry enough to get twelve things on the menu but I just got that and the Pizza alla Salsiccia which was also great. I sat at the bar and the ambiance was very nice. I met some really great people there and had a great time. The staff was quick and helpful. I definitely will go back to check out more things on the menu! read more

Amazing service A++++ Amazing food & dessert A++++ I rarely write raving reviews like this but when I come upon exceptional restaurants with consistently great food AND service, I have to give the restaurant a well deserved review. The first time I visited I was only able to sit at the bar but I remember the food & drinks were good and the bartenders were amazing. The bartenders were the reason I vowed to return. This time around I got a reservation for my birthday and AGAIN I was blown away by the consistent exceptional service. I visit Vegas often and tried alot of restaurants on the strip and am highly critical. Not all restaurants have a good balance between good service and culinary experience.... it is few and far between. Many pretend to offer high quality dining experience but they fall short. So far this restaurant has ticked all the boxes and makes me want to come back to Vegas. I love the service of this restaurant from the host to the waiter/waitress to the bartenders to the server assistants including the manager as well as the general manager. They go above and beyond. You can tell the management does a very good job from top down and the staff seem genuinely happy to be working there. There is a positive vibe. I have tried almost all the cocktails and they are pretty strong and creatively made. I have tried many of the appetizers and they were all great. The branzino was cooking amazingly. It was very fresh and the sauce was well balanced. The octopus appetizer was exceptional. Very tender meat and well balanced flavor profile. The pistachio lava dessert is a must. It is a spin on the lava cake. This time our dining experience was no exception... I think Wolfgang Puck is doing something right~ read more
Came here for dinner before heading to the airport with some co-workers, after we attended a work conference. The restaurant didn't open until 5:00, but they let us come inside at 4:30 and sit at the bar and order drinks. We looked at the menu ahead of time so when it was 5:00, we ordered right away and got food pretty quickly, so we could make our flight departure. All the food and drinks were incredible. I'm a vegetarian and got the butternut squash ravioli and loved it. The fried sage and crumbled hazelnuts absolutely made the dish. My coworker got a steak and was in heaven. The prices are typical high Vegas prices, so come prepared for that. The wait staff was incredibly nice and helpful, and the interior of the restaurant was beautifully decorated. Definitely recommend eating a meal here if this place is within your budget. read more

È buonissimo!! What a way to start our Vegas trip with a very delicious meal, excellent service and just a classy ambience. Restaurant is located in the Mandalay Bay. This used to be another location of a Wolfgang puck restaurant. The waiter even explained the concept of the restaurant which is a love letter to his mother through recipes that reminded him of her. The food was delicious. I ordered the vongole and my mom ordered the Branzino. They even have a truffle menu to fancy up your dinner if you wanted to make it more upscale. So much flavor and each bite was perfect. Since it was my birthday, I got a birthday dessert which was a tiramisu that totally hit the spot. We also ordered another dessert unfortunately I don't remember what it was called. But it was mixed tableside with fresh dark chocolate. It's like a show to end a delicious meal. Prices were reasonable, especially knowing it's a Wolfgang Puck restaurant and it's in a casino. read more
Ambiance, service, and food were all exceptional. I had a reso for a party of 9 in using 2 young toddlers in high chairs. They were very accommodating to our chaotic party lol Our server, Christian, was charming and hospitable. He made great suggestions and gave us ample time to look over the menu and decide. We shared bread, 2 apps, 1 pizza, 3 pastas, and a 24oz dry aged rib eye (bone in) to share with our party, family style. Everything tasted great. The only thing I would pass on is the bread, which was unremarkable imo. The 2 apps we got were the calamari and fennel/arugula salad. Calamari was so juicy and tender! I know it's such a basic menu item but I swear it could've been my favorite dish of the night. 3 pastas: mushroom gnocchi, rigatoni bolognese, and the clam linguine were good. I think the rigatoni bolognese was my least favorite but I'm just not a big fan of bolognese. Clam linguine was THE BOMB! Perfectly al dente linguine, sauce was PERFECTLY balanced and tasted a little creamy but still a light base. The dry aged ribeye was seriously buttery soft, melt in your mouth delicious. 24 oz (bone in) was enough for 6 adults to have a slice. The only thing is it took so much longer than the other dishes so we had to wait after we finished everything else just for the ribeye. We originally wanted the 32oz porterhouse but they had run out so our server suggested the dry aged ribeye instead. Will def be back to try the porterhouse next time. read more
Stopped by for a late dinner. The restaurant is good in size and the chair is comfortable. I used to dine here before it wa Carama. Our server was Ryan and he was very nice as well as the other servers helping. Food: My friends had wine and I ordered a barrel old fashioned. The old fashioned was not strong at all. Wished I could taste the bourbon more. Pesto Pizza Fried Calamari Rigatoni Bolognese Branzino Alla Piastra The food was delicious. I enjoyed the Branzino the best. So flavorful. Loved the lemon caper butter sauce. read more

Scallops and risotto was honestly horrible, undercooked and taste like spaghetos. Waiter never asked us how our food was, very disappointed. read more
One of the best dining experiences I've had in Vegas! We were seeing a show at Mandalay so decided to have dinner at Carama. We had reservations at 7pm and were quickly seated. Inside, the vibe is elevated, modern but not stuffy. Apps: Cesar salad 5/5 and tuna tartar 5/5. Both apps came out within a few minutes and were delicious. I loved the large leaves in the salad and the tuna tartar paired well with the crispy bread. Entree: I was on the fence about ordering the linguine 5/5 (Manila clams, white wine, parsley) but am soooo glad I did!! The sauce was creamy yet light and not heavy. Pasta was cooked al dente and the Manila clams were perfect for this dish. We also ordered the tagliatelle & meatballs 5/5 which was also a wonderful entree. Note: it's 2 huge meatballs! Shareable size. The manager (I think) came out to say congratulations to us (we were celebrating a special occasion) mid meal so that was kind. After we finished our food, he came out again with complimentary celebratory drinks and stated that it was non-alcoholic since he noticed we didn't order any alcohol drinks. That attention to detail made the dining experience so much better! We even got a complimentary tiramisu with "congratulations" written in chocolate. Thank you so much Carama for making our dinner so special! read more
Came here for a late dinner and really liked it. I wasn't super hungry so the portions were perfect. (Think European not American) The linguine vongole was delicious- pasta was Al dente and clams were fresh, just wish there were more of them! Had a nice dry white wine with it too. Loved that it was a bit more quiet but still a classy ambiance Came around 9 for dinner on a Wednesday and it wasn't too crowded I'd definitely return- want to try the branzino! read more

Everything about our experience was phenomenal! Excellent service, the most perfect crisp martini, and the food!! We had the tuna crudo (this was the best thing I had!), carpaccio, sautéed tiger prawns, and the ricotta ravioli. All the food was amazing but truly the tuna and the ravioli were stand outs. Oh also...get the pistachio lava cake you will not be disappointed! read more
