The Best Restaurants in Summerlin Right Now, by Category
- Italian
North Italia at 1069 S. Rampart Blvd. in Rampart Commons is a popular pick. Its chefs make pizzas and pastas from scratch every day, and it's one of the most-booked Italian spots in the area. For a more classic approach, Al Solito Posto at Tivoli Village focuses on the classics, with house-made pasta, fresh ingredients, and quality seafood and steaks.
- Sushi and Japanese
Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill sits inside Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa and offers a full Japanese menu, with a curated selection of sushi and sashimi plus dishes from its hot kitchen. Its roots go back to New York, where chefs Eric and Bruce Bromberg opened the first Blue Ribbon in 1992.
- Steakhouses and upscale dinners
T-Bones Chophouse is the Summerlin special-occasion standard. It's located inside Red Rock Casino Resort Spa at 11011 W. Charleston Boulevard and serves dry-aged prime steaks, bone-in cuts, and fish flown in daily, backed by a 7,500-bottle wine loft. For something less formal but still special, Honey Salt at 1031 S Rampart Blvd, in Rampart Commons across from Boca Park, is a neighborhood anchor. Hospitality veteran Elizabeth Blau and chef Kim Canteenwalla opened it in 2012, and it's known for farm-to-table cooking and seasonal menus.
- Brunch and casual daytime eating
Egg Works at 2025 Village Center Circle covers the basics reliably. The local chain started in 1988 as Egg & I and launched its Egg Works sister restaurants in 2005. For a sit-down weekend brunch, both Honey Salt and North Italia serve one. Honey Salt's brunch runs Saturday and Sunday, 10am-2:30pm, and North Italia's runs Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 4pm.
