I love Ventano and am a regular (go once or twice a month). They have gluten free penne with the best meaty bolognese in Vegas. It's a real treat for those that are gluten free. They also have gluten free pizza, but I haven't tried it yet.
I can't eat the bread sticks with olive oil and balsamic, but everyone tells me they are delicious. Everything everyone eats around me makes my mouth water, but the bolognese keeps me happy. It really is that good.
I went to a beer dinner at Ventano recently. It was a blast. They offered a free ride home to anyone that tried all the beer.
Portions are large. Great wine list. Service is always great. They have a rewards card, so be sure to ask for that. I've had a few free meals from the points.
