New Owner Set to Preserve 40+ Year Legacy of Las Vegas Dining

Piero’s Italian Cuisine: A Timeless Italian Restaurant in Las Vegas

Since 1982, Piero’s Italian Cuisine has been a core part of Las Vegas fine dining. Known for authentic Italian dishes and old-Vegas charm, it was founded by hospitality icon Freddie Glusman. The restaurant is loved for its warm vibe, extensive wine list, and VIP guests. Over the years, it has hosted U.S. presidents, Hollywood stars, athletes, hotel moguls, and top local figures.

A Celebrity Favorite in the Heart of Las Vegas

Piero’s is famous for more than just food. It’s also a celebrity magnet. Michael Politz, founder of Food & Beverage Magazine, has dined there with stars like Mike Tyson, Dionne Warwick, Bobby Brown, Vince Neil, Shania Twain, and Lenny Kravitz. He has also welcomed Ray Parker Jr., Macy Gray, Fiji, and The Common Kings. Recently, Politz was seen deep in conversation with Dr. J, discussing the food and beverage business.

A Las Vegas Landmark with Real History

Located across from the Las Vegas Convention Center, Piero’s was featured in Martin Scorsese’s Casino. It has served guests like George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Frank Sinatra, Jerry Lewis, and Michael Jordan. Moreover, its ties to Las Vegas mob history add to its allure. As a result, it’s a must-visit for anyone who wants a true taste of old Las Vegas.

New Ownership with the Same Values

Now, Amazing Brands, led by Stephen Siegel, has taken over the restaurant. However, Freddie Glusman remains involved. His continued presence ensures that Piero’s signature charm and traditions stay intact. The legacy continues under careful guidance.

Executive Chef Nick Aoki Carries the Culinary Torch

In the kitchen, Executive Chef Nick Aoki keeps the quality alive. Politz calls him “one of the best chefs in Las Vegas.” Glusman’s original spirit of hospitality remains at the heart of the experience. Politz adds, “Freddie Glusman is an industry icon who welcomed me with open arms when I first arrived in Las Vegas.”
