About the Company
For Buddy Valastro, 36, mixing eggs, sugar, butter and flour means a lot more than “making a cake.” As a fourth generation baker, it’s a constant source of pleasure, pride and creativity. Creating amazing cakes connects Buddy with the memory of his father Buddy Sr. and his extended Italian family history. His talent and passion for the family business, Carlo’s Bakery, has earned the straight-talking cake expert the moniker, and TLC TV show, Cake Boss.
Buddy V’s Ristorante is the first restaurant venture for Buddy Valastro, the internationally renowned baker known for his ebullient personality and intricate custom cakes. “People always just think of me as a baker, but beyond the bakery, food has always been at the center of my family’s life,” says Valastro.
Buddy V has partnered with veteran restaurateurs Elizabeth Blau and Kim Canteenwalla, hospitality visionaries widely credited at the center of Las Vegas’ transformation into the world-class culinary destination it is today.
Together, Blau and Canteenwalla lend the creative and operational support system needed to ensure Buddy V’s Ristorante is the talk of the town wherever Buddy V's opens.
