The journey to Las Vegas is a homecoming for Chef Robbie Felice, who spent his formative years there honing his craft with Bar Zazu’s Chef Nicole Brisson playing a role as his mentor. Following his time at the legendary Babbo in New York City, Felice worked for four and a half years at B&B Ristorante in Las Vegas, eventually rising to the role of Sous Chef and overseeing the Salumi Program for multiple Las Vegas locations. Now, in a full-circle moment, Felice is returning to Las Vegas with pastaRAMEN, bringing his acclaimed Wafu-Italian cuisine back to a city that shaped his career.
“Las Vegas was a pivotal part of my culinary journey and I couldn’t be more excited to return with something as special as this pastaRAMEN pop-up,” said Chef Robbie Felice in a statement. “We’re crafting a completely new experience, one that will introduce guests to a fresh take on Wafu-Italian cuisine.”
pastaRAMEN got its start as a pop-up omakase experience during the pandemic that made waves and captivated diners in New York City, Miami, Seattle and Los Angeles. Now, for the first time, Las Vegas diners will have the opportunity to experience Chef Robbie Felice’s boundary-pushing approach to Japanese Italian cuisine in an intimate, immersive setting.
