Why do so many reviews discuss whether or not Palio is overpriced? Because two things are simultaneously true: 1. Its price is at the lower end of cost at the Bellagio; 2. For the quality of what you get, it’s some of the most over-inflated food in Vegas. The food isn’t made in the Palio. It’s made in a kitchen that distributes to other MGM restaurants. The pastries are good but literally interchangeable with most pastries in the Bellagio because they come from the same kitchen. Sandwiches are below Subway quality, given above Subway prices, and presented with the hopes that you’ll be caught up in the Vegas mythos and miss the fact that you just ate fast food that a chef put together hours before you woke up. The employees are clearly not trained to be baristas. Espresso-based drinks and spiked coffee is some of the worst in the strip for some of the highest prices. The outside porch has a gorgeous view of the pool. If you bought a croissant, a simple cup of coffee, and sat outside you could have a nice breakfast. Anything beyond that, and you’ll wind up seriously disappointed.

I came here this morning but I was very disappointed. From pervious reviews of Unilocalers, I thought it should be a bakery/pastry shop. However, it doesn’t have a large variety of pastries and just croissant, danish and some sandwiches. If you are looking for pastries, come to Jean Philips instead.

Stopped by to get some organic juices. They are cold pressed, already made bottles in the fridge. I got the beets one. They have 2 other flavors: green juice and carrot

A great dulce de leche croissant! If you are at the Bellagio looking for a good pastry, stop by here and get a croissant. It won’t disappoint :)

Overpriced, but what isn’t around here? The baked goods(brioche, croissant) actually were excellent and the espresso was decent. Lovely covered outdoor patio had heat lamps and a nice view of the pool area.

What’s not to like… it’s a little pricey… but nowhere NEAR as pricey as getting the same thing delivered to you room. They opened at six sharp, all smiles, good quality muffins and fruit. Latte was $ 6, plain coffee was $ 4, Bran Muffin $ 4.75 and banana was $ 2. What else does one need?

Sounds Italian but it’s actually Irish! That sounds really familiar for some reason… anyways the ham & cheese croissant rocked & the coffee was fantastic!

Skip the sit down breakfast and come here for a delicious latte and an amazing stuffed brioche. The ham and cheese is to die for. I had one every morning and was not disappointed. The Mexican mocha is on the sweet side(for me. I generally like my lattes unsweetened) but delicious and warming.

Cute place especially with outdoor seating option overlooking the pool but really pricey. Decent cappuccino but pricey

I had the best croissant of my life at Palio when recently staying at the Bellagio. I grabbed it to go with me when I was catching my flight back to Houston, and honestly wish I hadn’t waited until the last day to try this place out because it was seriously THAT good! In addition to the wide variety of pasteries, they also have quick, friendly service and a nice dining area indoors and outdoors to enjoy your food.

Admittedly I always start craving their pastries a week before I get in to Vegas. When we stayed at other hotels, we’d make a trip here for breakfast. The last time round, we stayed at the Bellagio and the best part of my mornings were indulging in my favorite almond croissant and pain aux raisin. Fat(and happy) girl in me, yep.

Excellent food! I have to take away 2 stars due to how over priced it is and how slowly the line moved.(That’s the S.O.P. for everything to do with the Bellagio) We had a few of their breakfast sandwiches and the Lachs bagel. All excellent. The coffee was very good too. If you are out at the pool or don’t want to leave the hotel to get some quick grub this is probably your cheapest option(but still not cheap) As we will never return to the Bellagio we will likely never visit Palio again.

I’m mad. Really, really mad! You see-I have been coming to Palio since it opened. I came here when most guests would eat breakfast in the usual hotel restaurants but I found this hidden gem and have loved everything about it as you can see from my prior review. They have now added outdoor seating and some terrific newer dishes. The word is out and now everyone seems to flock here in the mornings. The lines do move but they are longer and seating can be tough during peak times. The food and staff are still top notch and I literally dine here every morning I’m in Vegas. Now the secret is out, so just leave me alone and let me enjoy my wonderful bold coffee, smoked salmon platter and Nutella croissant. I’m mad. Really, really mad!

While walking around the Bellagio Hotel, I came across the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, which lured me into this charming café called Palio. This little café serves fine coffee, cold-pressed juice, salads, fruits, soups, sandwiches and pastries… kinda like an «up scale» Starbucks! Although on the pricey side… I must say the coffee they serve here is quite exquisite! If you’re ever in the area, it’s worth the time to stop by for a cup of joe, and have one of them award winning pastries!

Nutella Pocket was amazing, and it is my favorite not to miss café spot for whenever I visit Vegas! I wish I could get it’s recipe from somewhere because no one else sells it!

This is not the«typical Las Vegas overpriced crap.» It is overpriced heavenly food. The quiche lorrain was light and fluffy and delicious and the mocha(the chocolate as a whole) was to die for.

This place was perfect! I wanted a quiet little coffee corner to eat a yummy something & drink some good cappuccinos. And that’s exactly what I got here… Despite an unfriendly greeting, the visit went well. By unfriendly, I mean a snippy«hello» with a bit of a snarly face followed by nothing! Awkwaaard, hah. Oh well, imaginary hand-to-the-face,(ie. «talk to my hand») was in order. You WILLNOT ruin my morning, errr, afternoon. Ordered a decent slice of pumpkin cheesecake which tasted better than it looked, and cappuccino which was pretty amazing! Cappuccinos were served with caramel flavored rock candy stir sticks, such a neat twist to adding sweetener. The interior is small, but super cute with intricately & colorfully decorated glass dishware displayed on the walls. From the windows, the Bellagio pool area can be viewed(through a slight screen of greenery). There is a media charging bar with less obstructed window viewd, as well as an outdoor walkway /balcony seating area.

Located in Belagio towards the pools and conference rooms. The European bakery serves breakfast and lunch. This café offers are large variety of sweet and savory café choices, juice, and European coffee, Quiche, Croissant, Brioche, bagels, coffee, lattes, and mochas. Third visit to Paleo. Remodeled from our first trip. Between the visits to dates we have tried the Brioche, Quiche Loraine, Dolce de Leche Croissant, Chocolate Croissant, Spanish Mocha, Coffee and Latte. The brioche with ham or bacon, egg, and butter was a good breakfast item. Brioche is like a savory muffin. Light, soft, and tender were the brioches. Delicious. The bacon was the better of choices. Similar to the brioche was the quiche which comes in vegetable or ham Loraine. We ordered Quiche Loraine. It was a little heavier than the brioche but not lost in the flavor. Meat was a bit salty but not bad. Soft in hold. Not bad at all. The croissants were buttery light and flaky. Sweet were the dolce de Leche and chocolate. Not too sweet but a fair balance of the filling to pastry. Scrumptious and so good. Could eat ten of any of these and not feel guilty. Tried the coffee, lattes, and the Spanish mocha. Made European style. Fresh and bold. Definitely eye opener or a good day starter. No shortage of energy after drinking these. Best drink was the Spanish mocha. Probably one of the best coffee or espresso drinks I have ever had. The Spanish mocha was sweet, balanced, fresh and hot. This place gets busy and the line moves quickly. A little pricey for menu but competitive with other cafés and coffee bistros in the area. Staff is friendly and generally efficient. Generally stocked pastry case. Seating can get full inside or out at the patio area outside which was a nice added area in the last year. Overall this is one of the best breakfasts spots I have found in Las Vegas. Menu items are rightly portioned, balanced flavors, and outrageously delicious. Five stars for the flavor and service experienced thus far. Can’t lower a rating if seating gets full. People want to relax sometimes and this is a good place to do so. Keep up the work. I will be back to try more of the menu.

This lil gem has to be the only reason one would stay at the Bellagio! No seriously. They have great coffee, never once did I have a bad coffee when staying here. They have bagels and cream cheese. But the best bit? The jam dearlings, the JAM!!! Little tubs of mouthwatering-awesomesauceness! I fell a wee bit in love. You see I’m one of those weird people that gets a blueberry bagel, smothers it in cream cheese and then tops it when blueberry jam from the wee tubs. Then sits there and moans audibly while I enjoy the delight that is my breakfast before a day full of shopping again. I hear they have great pastries too, however I never got around to trying any!
