The staff was very kind, and we were greeted and seated immediately. We were given bread with a delicious pesto sauce to enjoy while we looked over the menus. They offer an impressive menu, and we honestly had a hard time choosing! We ended up with the Tortellacci Ripieni Brasato Di Manzo Al Tartufo Nero--braised short rib wrapped in fresh egg pasta with a creamy Alfredo-style sauce. The pasta is made fresh daily, and my BF could not stop raving after every bite that it was some of the most delicious pasta he's ever had. It really was mouthwatering. We also ordered the chicken Caesar salad and did not expect the portion to be so large! The chicken had a nice char and was a little dry, but overall, paired with the Caesar dressing, the flavors blended really well. The restaurant looks out toward the lake and greenery, with patio seating that would be beautiful during cooler weather. There's also a floating stage nearby with live music on Saturdays, which you can enjoy from the restaurant. Inside, there's a small bar with seating, and the overall atmosphere feels romantic and upscale. We noticed quite a few couples enjoying dinner. We visited in early August, which is definitely the off-season at Lake Las Vegas. MonteLago Village was pretty quiet, and when we arrived around 5:30 p.m., there were only two other couples in the restaurant. Over the course of our dinner, though, almost every table inside filled up. I can only imagine how busy it gets during peak season, so I would recommend reservations in advance. Even during the summer, it may be worth checking ahead if you want an indoor table during prime dinner hours. Wonderful service, fresh pasta, generous portions and a beautiful setting. I would absolutely recommend Luna Rossa to anyone visiting Lake Las Vegas.

Luna Rossa Ristorante…read more 15 Via Bel Canto Henderson, NV 89011 (3 Stars) Thankfully, the food was above average because the drive to Lake Las Vegas--and the hike to the restaurant--is absolutely interminable. Whoever designed this promenade was either a rookie architect or exceptionally evil. There is essentially no convenient parking. The available parking is downhill from the restaurants and shops, which means after you've parked, you're rewarded with an uphill hike. From September through May that's merely annoying. At 115 degrees... It's punishment. In fact, I think I've figured out why this place is so empty. When I arrived, I honestly thought I had stumbled into an abandoned ghost town. I was the only person walking anywhere in the entire village. I finally made it to Luna Rossa, desperately needing water. Thankfully, my server Julia was quick on the draw. She had water in front of me almost immediately, and I probably drank half the glass without taking a breath. I ordered the Caesar Salad followed by the Veal Piccata. The Caesar started with a minor disappointment. The croutons tasted like Pepperidge Farm's best, but thankfully the lettuce was crisp, fresh, and the dressing was flavorful enough to pull the salad back into respectable territory. The Veal Piccata looked a little murky when it arrived, but looks can be deceiving. The sauce had excellent flavor, the veal was tender, and overall it was a very enjoyable entrée. I seriously considered ordering a cocktail. Then I remembered I still had to survive the hike back to my car in triple-digit heat. Hydration won. Besides, the female bartender looked very...very...very...miserable. Maybe it was the heat. Maybe it was the ghost town. Maybe that's just her personality. Either way, she wasn't exactly inspiring me to linger over a drink. Big Boy Says... The food is above average. The parking is terrible. The walk is worse. Between the lack of convenient parking, the uphill hike in the Las Vegas heat, and an atmosphere that felt deserted, this simply isn't a restaurant I'd recommend making a special trip to visit. I suffer...so you don't have to. Overall Rating: (3 Stars)

The berry "cobbler" is SO DAMN delicious, but it's not much of a cobbler in my opinion. More like biscuits and berries...but also a must order. The service is always warm and welcoming, makes me think of Southern hospitality. The only slight complaint is portion size is a little small. The biscuit was really small, but super good, so it gets a pass. The berry "cobbler" was also a smaller portion.

It's only about 10 minutes from my place, so I made it super easy early in the morning right when they got there at 8:00., and just note that you have to walk all the way around to the side of the building to get in. Nevertheless, I made it to the door. Super cool fact is they also have outdoor seating which is kind of nice, but the real treasure lies within For starters, this place has a real rustic feel. Definitely warm and inviting, lots of tables to sit at. I was greeted warmly when I came in. Told her it was my first time and she was very excited. I was there and gave me the complete rundown of the place as well as her favorites on the menu. I opted for the tri-tip eggs Benedict.. which comes on their signature. Biscuits. Started things off with a cup of coffee. I don't know what brand they use but it was nice and strong and very delicious. The Benedict itself was truly a work of art. The hash browns were cooked to perfection, and whatever Hollandaise sauce they put on that thing is wonderful. I definitely should have asked for extra. The meat was Smoky and perfectly cooked, and made for a very delightful meal. Added bonus, they have a fully stocked bourbon bar that looked very appetizing. It was only 8:30 in the morning so I really didn't feel right about doing an old fashioned, but I will definitely be coming back here on a Friday night for their rib special and I'll have an old fashioned bin and report back. Bottom line? Everything here is wonderful. I have no complaints and it was a absolutely perfect for star meal. If you are anywhere in the area I say go check it out.

He kept our drinks full and checked on us often. He did suggest, but I did make the mistake and ask, he recommended the Joey's Burger as his favorite, I was mixed on a few choices and asked. Joey's burger which is actually their version of a Big Mac was ok. It is not something I would order again or recommend as it was the worst thing I've ever had at Giuseppe's. It was that bad I had to say it twice because it was tasteless even without the bread. It just was not good at all. The eggplant parm appetizer and the Antipasto Salad were really good. They both fed 3 people easily. My friend said the Rigatoni Italiano was really good and my other friend had the Patty Melt which looked a lot better than the Joey's burger and he said it was really good. Ambiance was nice, the bar side was packed but the restaurant was kind of empty. I do recommend Giuseppe's but I also recommend you make your own choice on food. I can't wait to go back and I will order something better.

Garlic bread was good but came at the end of our meal. The dessert was good. Service was just as meh, never came back to refill drinks, forgot to put in half the tables order.

4/5 Pacific Diner is…read moreone of those places that feels like a real neighborhood diner rather than a cookie-cutter breakfast spot. It opened in Downtown Henderson's Water Street District as a family-owned restaurant, and I like that there's some actual history and community involvement behind the place. The owners even stepped up during COVID and opened a food pantry to help local families. Inside, it has a definite old-school UNLV/Rebels kind of vibe mixed with classic diner charm. The menu also has a little Hawaiian flair sprinkled in, reflecting the owners' love for Hawaii, with things like loco moco, an island breakfast and Huli-Huli chicken alongside the traditional diner favorites. This was my second visit, and the food has been very good both times. Today I had an egg-white veggie omelet and added chicken. It was really tasty, loaded with vegetables and cooked well. On my first visit I had the tuna sandwich, which is something restaurants manage to screw up surprisingly often, but theirs was delicious. My buddy ordered a double cheeseburger and fries, and the burger looked amazing. I got to steal a few fries and can confirm those were very good too. One of the best parts of Pacific Diner is the staff. Everyone we dealt with was pleasant, personable and genuinely fun to talk to. They happily answered our questions and had that friendly, caring personality you hope to find in a neighborhood diner. Prices are also very reasonable, especially compared with what breakfast and lunch cost at a lot of places these days. The one thing to be aware of is parking. This part of Downtown Henderson can get busy, and there are several nearby lots where you are NOT allowed to park unless you're visiting those particular businesses, with towing signs posted. If the street spaces immediately around the diner are full, just plan on spending a few minutes looking for a legal spot nearby. Overall, Pacific Diner has tasty food, good prices, genuinely friendly service and a lot more personality than your average breakfast place. We'll definitely be back again.
