This past weekend, we celebrated the incredible legacy of Chef Julian Serrano and his renowned restaurant, Picasso at Bellagio. For over a quarter-century, Chef Serrano has not only delighted our palates but also set a gold standard in culinary artistry and leadership. Under Chef Serrano’s visionary leadership, Picasso has become synonymous with exceptional dining experiences, showcasing the finest in cuisine and an unparalleled dedication to perfection. From its exquisite dishes to its elegant ambience, every aspect of Picasso reflects Chef Serrano’s passion and commitment. What an honour and privilege to have worked with Chef Julian Serrano. He is a culinary expert, mentor and leader to so many, but most importantly a great friend. As we celebrate this remarkable milestone and the end of an era, let us acknowledge and applaud Chef Serrano and his team for their unwavering dedication to excellence, innovation, and hospitality. Your contributions have not only shaped the culinary landscape but have also inspired countless chefs and food enthusiasts around the world. Chapeau! #CulinaryExcellence #ChefJulianSerrano #PicassoAtBellagio #Milestone #Leadership #FineDining #RestaurantAnniversary #CheersTo26Years #Art

A beautiful and well-deserved tribute!

Chef Serrano, a maestro of taste. Picasso was his masterpiece. It's be a challenge to find a more distinguished pairing between Bellagio & Chef Julian Surrano, rivaling the tough neighboring competition
