The Internet says “luchini” is slang for money or having wealth.<\/p>\n
Today’s random-ass and utterly useless trivia: The surname Luchini is most common in Brazil.<\/p>\n
The brand started as a delivery-only<\/a> “virtual restaurant” during the pandemic.<\/p>\n The announcement of Luchini has flown under the radar, but we think it’s worth a look.<\/p>\n Because Italian, that’s why. Also known as our personal culinary sweet spot.<\/p>\n Madison Square Garden recently sold its majority stake<\/a> in Tao Group to help pay for the Sphere at Venetian. In layperson’s terms: Perhaps the most bone-headed business decision, ever.<\/p>\n The sale doesn’t appear to have interfered with any plans on the part of Tao Group. In May 2023, Tao Group was acquired by Mohari Hospitality. We have no idea what that is, but press on.<\/p>\n The plan is for Tao Group to have a multi-year agreement with Sphere Entertainment for “consulting, marketing and support services.”<\/p>\n Sphere is going to need all the help it can get. The business model is $50 movies. ‘Nuff said.<\/p>\n Tao Group is a respected brand, with other offerings at MGM Grand including Hakkasan Restaurant, Hakkasan Nightclub and Wet Republic, a dayclub. Tao Group also operates Omnia Nightclub at Caesars Palace, Marquee Nightclub and Beauty & Essex at Cosmo, Lavo restaurant at Palazzo, Jewel Nightclub and Cathedrale at Aria, along with Tao Asian Bistro and Tao Nightclub at Venetian.<\/p>\n Anyway, back to what we actually care about, Italian food.<\/p>\n Here’s a blurb from the official announcement of Luchini: “A refreshing take on a classic Italian-American restaurant inspired by the flavors of New York, the Luchini menu will highlight handmade pasta, pizzas, salads and timeless dishes served in a welcoming and lively space. The adjacent pizza-by-the-slice shop echoes classic tri-state pizza parlors with a counter up front serving a variety of pizza offerings for those seeking a quick snack on-the-go or to satisfy a post-concert craving.”<\/p>\n Yes, we removed the Oxford commas. They’re weird.<\/p>\n Construction walls are up at MGM Grand.<\/p>\n Coming to MGM Grand. We’re in.
