Sinatra

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Table Set for Ol' Blue Eyes

At Wynn Las Vegas, Sinatra is the kind of Italian fine dining restaurant that earns its name honestly. Framed images of the legendary crooner line cream-colored walls, chandeliers cast a warm glow over banquettes, and Frank's voice drifts through the room as a backdrop rather than a gimmick. The Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star recognition it carries year after year reflects something real: an operation that takes both the food and the service seriously.

The Chef Who Actually Cooked for Frank

Executive Chef Theo Schoenegger has a story worth knowing. Before joining Sinatra, he served as executive chef at San Domenico on New York's Central Park South, where he regularly cooked for Luciano Pavarotti — and, on one memorable evening, for Frank Sinatra himself. That dinner led to Schoenegger preparing Sinatra's favorites at the singer's own parties. "Frank loved the classics of good Italian food — veal Milanese and spaghetti with clams were also his go-to dishes," the chef recalls. "We prepare them exactly as he liked and balance that with a selection of seasonal Italian cuisine."

Three decades later, those same dishes anchor the menu. Spaghetti and clams with red sauce, osso bucco prepared "My Way," lasagna Bolognese, pan-roasted black cod — the kitchen moves between heartwarming and refined without losing its footing in either direction.

The Room and the Wine

Guests can choose between the main dining room, with its classical statuary and garden views, or a table outside by the fireplaces — low manicured hedges, deep red flowers, and a large open hearth. For private occasions, the Chairman's Room offers an intimate space surrounded by notable wines overlooking the gardens, with custom menus arranged through the events team.

The wine list mirrors the man himself: Italian and American bottles side by side, with rare selections including a five-liter 2008 Sinatra Family Estate "Nothing But the Best" cabernet sauvignon — a limited edition with a glass-etched label signed by Nancy Sinatra.

Forbes Travel Guide sums it up plainly: the waitstaff is "as good as you'll find on the Strip," attentive without being intrusive, treating every guest as if they might belong to the Rat Pack. The dress code is business casual; children under five are not permitted.
