Buddy and Lisa Valastro dropped in on Las Vegas Morning Blend on Thursday with a one-two punch for sweet-toothed Strip visitors: a freshly renovated Carlo’s Bakery at The Venetian and a tease of Dolce Notte, a speakeasy-style room tucked inside Buddy V’s Ristorante. The couple said the revamp is designed to marry the bakery’s signature desserts with a cocktail-forward after-dinner scene aimed squarely at Strip tourists and late-night crowds, boosting the Valastros’ presence in the Grand Canal Shoppes and giving Restaurant Row another post-show stop.
As reported by KTNV, the newly renovated Carlo’s Bakery is officially back open at the Grand Canal Shoppes, and Buddy and Lisa walked Morning Blend hosts through the spruced-up display cases. The segment also previewed Dolce Notte, which KTNV described as Buddy V’s “first-ever speakeasy experience” carved out of the restaurant’s footprint. The clip, which aired Thursday, included quick interviews with the Valastros about desserts, cocktails and how the new layout ties the two together.
Where to Find the New Bakery
Carlo’s Bakery sits along Restaurant Row in The Venetian’s Grand Canal Shoppes; The Venetian lists the bakery and highlights its cannoli and lobster tails among guest favorites. The Valastros’ full-service Buddy V’s Ristorante has anchored that stretch since 2013 and is featured on the family’s BV Hospitality site as the brand’s Las Vegas flagship. Together, the two venues form a one-stop setup for a daytime pastry run followed by an adjacent evening dining and cocktail destination.
