What Superfrico is
Superfrico is a restaurant by Spiegelworld, the company that makes Absinthe at Caesars Palace and Atomic Saloon Show at The Venetian. It opened in 2021 at The Cosmopolitan in the space attached to Spiegelworld's theatre there, where the company's variety show OPM ran, and it is designed as a piece of theatre in its own right: a maximalist, psychedelic dining room, a cast of performers who wander among the tables, a hidden bar called the Ski Lodge behind a freezer door, and a menu of what Spiegelworld calls "Italian American Psychedelic" — pasta, pizza and chicken parm cooked with more skill than the setting suggests. It is the only Strip restaurant where a stilt-walker might interrupt your carbonara, and it is a lot more fun than that sounds.
It replaced the Cosmopolitan's Rose. Rabbit. Lie. supper club and inherited its role as the resort's "dinner as entertainment" venue.
The room
Superfrico is a series of spaces rather than a single room. The main dining room is a riot of murals, neon, mirrored ceilings, plush booths and a small stage; a second room with a long bar serves the same menu with more of a party edge; and the Ski Lodge, entered through a walk-in freezer, is a wood-panelled, tiny après-ski bar that serves cocktails late and has its own cult following. Performers — acrobats, drag artists, a singer, a wandering "Italian grandmother" — appear at intervals through dinner. The volume rises through the evening, and by 10pm on a weekend the bar room is essentially a nightclub with pasta. The dining room is on the second level of the Cosmopolitan, next to the theatre.
What to order
The kitchen is better than it needs to be. Start with the garlic knots, the meatballs and the crudo. Pastas are the strength: the spicy fusilli, the cacio e pepe, the lasagne and the rigatoni all hold up against the serious Italian rooms. The chicken parm is enormous and shareable, the pizzas are good, and the whole branzino covers anyone avoiding red sauce. Desserts include a tiramisu and a very large ice cream sundae. Cocktails are inventive and often theatrical; the Ski Lodge does a shorter, stronger list. The wine list is Italian and reasonable.
There is usually a set-price "pre-show" menu for guests attending a Spiegelworld show, which is the efficient way to do dinner and a show in one building.
Price range
As of 2026 and subject to change: starters $16–28, pastas $28–42, pizzas $22–30, mains $40–70, desserts around $15. Two people with a starter, two pastas, a shared dessert and cocktails will spend about $180–260 before tip. There is no cover charge for the performers with a dinner reservation, though the Ski Lodge may operate a reservation or minimum on busy nights. Pre-show packages bundle dinner and tickets and can be good value; check the Spiegelworld and Cosmopolitan sites for current menus and offers.
Reservations and dress code
Book via the Spiegelworld or Cosmopolitan sites or OpenTable; a week ahead is enough for weekends, a few days for weeknights, and the bar room takes walk-ins. Book the Ski Lodge separately if you want a guaranteed seat there. Dress code is "come as you are, but make it fun" — in practice smart casual with no enforcement beyond the usual no-swimwear rule; guests dress up because the room invites it. Children are allowed at dinner and the performers are family-safe at early seatings, but the humour gets more adult as the night goes on and the bar rooms are 21-plus late.
Best for
Groups celebrating who want dinner to be an event without the strict door of Delilah. Anyone seeing a Spiegelworld show — see adult shows for the company's productions. Couples who like a surprise. It is a poor choice for a quiet or business dinner and for anyone who finds interactive performers uncomfortable. It sits next to Momofuku and Scarpetta on the Cosmopolitan's restaurant level — see the resort guide — so the whole evening can happen in one building.
Pros and cons
- Pro: dinner and a show in one, with genuinely good pasta.
- Pro: a relaxed dress code and easier booking than the other scene restaurants.
- Pro: the Ski Lodge is one of the best hidden bars on the Strip.
- Con: loud and unpredictable; performers will interact with you.
- Con: the theme can feel exhausting if you just want to eat.
- Con: not a great fit for young children later in the evening.
Verdict
Superfrico is the most fun dinner on the Strip for a group in the right mood, and the food is good enough that you do not need the performers to justify it. Book the early seating for calmer dining or the late one for the party, order the spicy fusilli and the chicken parm to share, and end the night in the Ski Lodge. If you want theatre with your Italian but less chaos, Carbone is across the street.
