Lago Restaurant, Las Vegas

From the windows of LAGO, the first Italian restaurant of the renowned Michelin-starred Chef Julian Serrano, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Legendary Fountains of Bellagio Resort & Casino, one of the most charming places in Las Vegas. Alessandro Munge, principal of Studio Munge in Toronto, has designed the restaurant that, through a journey of style, art and fashion, pays homage to Italian history.

Taking its cues from Italian Futurism of the early twentieth century, it stretches beyond the traditional and familiar in order to create a unique new signature for the famous Bellagio. The interiors are innovative and amazing: mirrored chrome accents combined with a fresh mix of decorative elements in shades of blue and white, characterize the restaurant, creating a sophisticated and original atmosphere at the same time.

The reference to the speed and dynamism of Futurism is made explicitly even before entering the restaurant. The strong entrance façade has colored backlighting glass panels framed by aluminum strips that depict the map of Milan in an abstract adaptation. LAGO is defined by six distinct areas: the Bar Lounge, the Open Private Dining Area, the Bar, the Main Dining Room with dramatic arched windows, the Private Dining Room and a Patio that offers the possibility to have lunch outdoors. A sequence of overlapping abstract ceiling panels in a white finish creates a cascade effect along the walls characterized by subtle backlighting, contributing to delineate the atmosphere of the restaurant. Finally, the striped floor contrasts with the soft effect of the ceiling.
