If romance is part of your agenda, you can't go wrong with adding Ventano to your list.
This restaurant is tucked away in a clean and quiet neighborhood in Henderson. There's a large parking lot next to the restaurant building but the entrance is on the other side of the parking lot next to the gas station. It's dimly lit with large windows surrounding the entire restaurant. You can request to sit out on the patio - I would recommend this if the weather permits.
The view from the patio is quite breathtaking. I've been here during the day and at night. Come during the night time to see an amazing view of the lights of Vegas.
The food is alright. Not the best, but satisfying. I thought it was neat how they served their bread in a paper bag and not on a plate or a basket. Their portions are large and filling. During my last visit, I had the Lobster Ravioli for $24.50. The ravioli is topped with three ginormous pieces of blackened shrimp and is paired with some grilled asparagus. It was good, although I didn't really get a punch of lobster flavor from the ravioli. The shrimp was juicy and well seasoned and was definitely my favorite part of the dish. My friend ordered the Gnocchi con pesto. This was a disappointment. Not enough sauce. Gnocchi was dry and real chewy. Seems like it was sitting out for awhile.
I was contemplating for a minute on whether I should rate Ventano a 3 or a 4. My final decision is that Ventano is a 3.5 but they get the 4 on Yelp because of the beautiful view. If I'm ever around in that area, I wouldn't mind going back. Just have to remember to not order the gnocchi.
