Today, I brought my daughter here for her birthday and was sitting by myself at the oyster bar while I waited. The owner personally checked on me throughout my visit to make sure everything was great and that I was okay. That small gesture truly meant so much to me. The waitress and entire staff were wonderful, attentive, and welcoming. And to the owner--thank you for taking the time to share your time, food, and conversation with me this evening. Your kindness and genuine hospitality did not go unnoticed, and it truly meant a lot. I can't recommend this restaurant enough! If you're looking for amazing food, exceptional service, and an experience that feels personal and welcoming, Ventano is definitely worth a visit!

Our first time dining hear and we had a fabulous time. We went on a Tuesday around 6pm. We made…read morereservations but we probably didn't need them. The hostesses were welcoming as soon as we walked in. Our server was Michael and he's a true professional- genuinely friendly and attentive. We had a couple questions about the menu and he answered all and had an easy going, positive demeanor. We started with the Baked Clams. They were seasoned perfectly. The delicious juices from the baked clams were great to dip the bread in. The bread sticks are served in a brown paper bag which is fun and they are so good; warm and savory, I ordered the Spaghetti Alla Carbonara and asked Michael if it was made with peas (my favorite version) and he said they could add them. He didn't miss a beat, needing to find out if they could; like I have experienced elsewhere. I didn't even care if they charged me for it, which other places have. I wasn't charged for the peas anyway. It was absolutely wonderful- the sauce and pancetta were great. My BF had the Veal Francese and enjoyed every bite of it. I tasted it and I liked it as well, meat is very tender. They have an extensive wine list. I had a glass of a Pinot Noir and my BF had a Peroni. They had a large group, at least 12-14 people and they seemed to be on top of things with them and the rest of us The decor is beautiful, think rustic Italian. Ornate chandeliers, wine barrels, and various rich wood and stone decor. There is patio seating, although no one was seated there, I would think due to the heat. The view of the Las Vegas Strip/Skyline is beautiful. It's an upbeat vibe good for groups, business, or a romantic meal. They have a nice bar area with gaming and Patty the bartender is super nice and a lot of fun. Great experience- I can't wait to go back!

A Hidden Gem -- Incredible Italian with Heart…read more Il Chianti is amazing! We absolutely love Chef Rudy and everything about this restaurant. The food is consistently fantastic, and it's clear that there's so much care and heart behind every dish. We've tried several things on the menu -- from the creamy Alfredo pasta to the flavorful New York steak -- and it's all been delicious. But let me tell you... their garlic bread is what dreams are made of. It comes out warm and crusty with garlic, olive oil, parmesan, and spices -- and I honestly think about it all the time. It's that good. Il Chianti is definitely on the finer dining side, so prices reflect the quality -- but it's 100% worth it. We've celebrated birthdays here, and even had our wedding luncheon hosted at the restaurant, and they were amazing to work with: so accommodating, so kind, and just a joy to plan with. This is a restaurant we love and want to see succeed. Highly, highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable Italian meal in a beautiful, welcoming space.

I had the Linguini Alle Vongole with white sauce and it was delicious. Pasta was perfectly al dente and the fresh clams was exactly as I expected. I personally dislike when restaurants just put the meat of the clam in the pasta without the shell. Can't wait to come back and try another dish!

The bread service, even though it was not complimentary, was well worth the $3! Our drinks included beer, Pinot Grigio and their house special Titos dirty martini.

Well the casino itself is extremely smoky and full of very, very, very old people (watch out for the scooters, walkers and oxygen tanks), the restaurant itself was a very pleasant "casual Italian atmosphere". Real linen tablecloth. Very comfortable and intimate booths and excellent lighting in ambience for an Italian restaurant. The food was nothing short of excellent. You got absolute heaps of it and it was very authentic Italian. In fact, the meatballs on my spaghetti and meatballs with some of the best meatballs I've had in Vegas. My wife enjoyed her Chicken Angelo very much. Perhaps one of the best highlights of the night was the service. We had "Brandon" as our server and he was extremely personable, funny and engaging. He actually seemed to like his job and enjoy dealing with us. Highest marks to him. He really improved the night. Also, is one of the few authentic Italian restaurants that we found to be extremely affordable. We shared a full Caesar salad salad we had a massive entrée and even had cannolis for dessert (with a glass of wine) and the price tag was less than $65. Where do you get that type of value? Absolutely a hidden gem and will definitely be on our "go to list".

You walk up 3-4 stone steps to the beautiful doors and inside to a beautiful room filled with comfortable booths and lined draped tables, beautiful lighting and they even had a bar inside. They do to go orders as I heard several of those being taken as we waited for our bread which arrived quickly and included oil and vinegar. Delicious. Brandon was the waiter. He was friendly and attentive. Top notch! I ordered Minestrone soup and Bruschetta. My brother ordered a Caesar Salad. All three dishes were AMAZING. Best soup I have had anywhere and that Bruschetta was melt in your mouth amazing, the flavors lingered long after I had finished the last bite. Brother ordered Chicken Parm and I got salmon w/asparagus and potatoes as I am allergic to Mushrooms and could not do the normal risotto that it comes with. He said next time to remind him and he will ask for extra sauce and maybe another piece of chicken--He liked it though. The salmon was Juicy and delicious, the potatoes were soft. YUM. The Bruschetta pic did not come out sadly but it was amazing and I am sure the pic would not do it justice anyways. No desserts... I mean they had them but only 3 to choose from so I opted to skip it and get dessert tomorrow at the next restaurant I am heading to--stay tuned... 100% have added this to the return list--The die can bring it up but it won't have to. I also left the die on the table and Brandon saved me from leaving with out it. The dice man needs his dice. See you soon! The dice man
