B&B Ristorante About To Be Renovated

B&B Ristorante, the Italian restaurant from Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich at the Venetian, is about to go through a renovation. The restaurant celebrates 10 years in Las Vegas on Friday night with a dinner, but the Las Vegas Sun reports that within the next eight months, a renovation is expected.

Batali says that the makeover will make the restaurant more “light and feel a little more bar-y and casual.” Cooking will take place in front of the guests as well.

“…the food will be the same kind of Batali-Bastianich stuff. You know what you’re getting, and maybe it’s not recognized as a born-in-Italy dish but Italians will taste it and know it’s authentic through its simplicity and purity.”

Batali heads to B&B tonight for the 10th anniversary, four-course dinner at 7:30 p.m. on Friday night for $150 per person.
