Paul Bartolotta is no stranger to fine cuisine. Having worked in kitchens from Sicily to the Alps, he turned his focus to cooking in France at Three Star Michelin establishments. He later came back to the United States where he put San Domenico in New York at the top of the culinary charts; at the time, it was the only Italian restaurant to receive four stars from Forbes magazine. Wherever he goes, Chef Bartolotta's award-winning reputation precedes him, as his clean and elegant style is a pleasure to behold. He's created Bartolotta Ristorante di Mare as a restaurant not only full of surprises, but also full of happy stories. Thanks to fresh fish that is flown in daily from the Mediterranean, and to Chef Bartolotta's excellent relationships with fresh food purveyors, there's always something delicious on the menu at Bartolotta Ristorante. People come from all over the world to try his cuisine. He once hosted a third generation fisherman in from Mazara, for example, whose son happened to sell fish to Bartolotta; the fisherman was visiting Los Angeles and drove all the way to Las Vegas to see and eat his son's fish.
