Eater’s 2019 Chef of the Year Gina Marinelli is expanding two miles north from locals-favorite La Strega to launch Harlo Steakhouse & Bar, a sophisticated venue “rooted in Las Vegas history” in Downtown Summerlin, according to the restaurant’s Instagram page. Although the restaurant technically opened its doors on October 25, the official opening date is set for November.
Expect a robust cocktail menu, caviar cart, and aged beef. Other menu teasers include bistecca alla fiorentina, whole roasted fish marinated in charmoula sauce, and gigli alla Norma, according to photos posted by the restaurant’s PR company.
Developed by the Lev Group (known for ambitious, off-strip restaurants), Harlo replaces Andiron Steak & Sea on Festival Plaza Drive, which closed its doors after an abandoned menu and interior makeover in 2019.
A former Eater Vegas Restaurant of the Year, La Strega will continue to serve its acclaimed Italian menu on Town Center Drive.
