Pasta and Crispy Parmigiana! Stanton Social Italian Debuts at Caesars Palace with a Creative Take on Classic Italian Cuisine
November 12, 2025
LAS VEGAS (Nov. 14, 2025) –Caesars Entertainment and Tao Group Hospitality introduce StantonSocial Italian at Caesars Palace, a reimagined dining experience from acclaimed chef and restaurateur Chris Santos. This evolution of the celebrated Stanton Social brand delivers modern twists to classic Italian dishes and an energetic vibe to the heart of the Las Vegas Strip.
Stanton Social’s foundation of shareable, globally inspired dishes has always been its cornerstone, going back to its inception on the Lower East Side of New York City in 2004.
Maintaining the dynamic energy of the Caesars Palace restaurant, the reimagined concept blends bold flavors, elevated presentations and a stylish, social atmosphere that guests have come to know at the dining destination.
“The next chapter for Stanton Social focuses on classic Italian cuisine by way of New York’s long and storied history of Italian-inspired, iconic neighborhood restaurants from Little Italy to the Bronx,” said Chef Chris Santos. “This fresh and whimsical approach to the menu maintains the balance of creativity and familiarity that defines the brand’s communal dining experience, while embracing a style of cuisine that’s universally loved.”
The new menu features a curated selection of modern Italian dishes designed for sharing, including Fritto Misto with calamari, shrimp, squash, cherry peppers, arrabbiata sauce and preserved lemon aioli. Guests can enjoy the Heirloom Tomato Salad with whipped burrata, balsamic vinegar and basil pesto or the Hamachi Crostada with yellowtail, confit cherry tomato, red onion, basil and lavash. Pasta lovers can indulge in the House-made Cavatelli Wagyu Bolognese, served with fresh herbs and parmesan.
In addition, guests can expect tableside experiences, such as the Extra Crispy Chicken Parmigiana with San Marzano tomato sauce and mozzarella fondue, as well as the showstopping Choice Super Tomahawk featuring Barolo-braised short ribs and bone marrow flambeed to perfection. For dessert, visitors can indulge in the Limoncello Tiramisu layered in lemon curd and citrus mascarpone mousse, or Spumoni “Milkshake” with chocolate mousse, cherry compote, pistachio sponge cake and an edible chocolate cup.
“We know our guests love Italian cuisine and exciting dining experiences, and Stanton Social Italian delivers on both of those expectations,” said Terrence O’Donnell, SVP and General Manager of Caesars Palace. “We are proud of our longstanding partnership with Tao Group Hospitality, and the new menu is a perfect combination of Chef Santos’ creative takes on familiar flavors, pairing classic Italian dishes with dynamic presentations.”
Stanton Social Italian is open Wednesday and Thursday from 5 to 10 p.m. and Friday through Sunday from 4:30 to 10:30 p.m.
