We have been to this restaurant at least four times, twice for lunch and twice for dinner, and have yet to be disappointed. We enjoy its peaceful, serene atmosphere, and sweeping view of the Las Vegas Strip, although we liked it better at night when all the Strip's lights lite up the sky. From the dining room customers can even view the brick oven where the pizzas are made.
Your meal starts with nice piping hot crisp crusted piping hot Italianate loaves served in a paper bag alongside a plate of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Simple and lovely, in both presentation and execution. We then ordered the signature appetizer ... Shrimp on a Stone: A half pound of black tiger shrimp marinated overnight in garlic, olive oil, black pepper and chili peppers and sauteed with a touch of salt, served on a oven hot stone plate. We also ordered the Baked Stuffed Clams which come served in a dish that allows generous bread swabbing.
In our visits to this establishment, we have ordered the eggplant Parmesan, two veal dishes, lasagna, shrimp scampi and shared some excellent desserts. On each occasion everyone was extremely please with their order. In fact the only negative that I could come up with was that on the first visit, the wait staff was just a little "too" attentive.

All-in-all, Ventano offers the finest in food & service, has a private dining room for up to 150 people, a distinctive Lounge with signature cocktails & 24-hr gaming and full menu service, and a lovely vine-covered patio. We sorry that the 100-degree temperature kept us from being able to utilize the patio - can't wait for the fall. It is located near the intersection of Horizon Ridge Parkway and Arroyo Grande Boulevard. We give it 4-Stars.
