Ventano's is one of the better Italian restaurants in town (on and off the strip). Food is great, people are nice and prices are reasonable. I do find the tip options a little weird. Instead of the traditional receipt where you fill it all out, they have this device that calculates either an 18% or 20% tip to your meal. That's all good and well, but it's like "What if I feel the waiter/staff didn't deserve it?"
Anyway, all in all, we love this place and keep coming back. I don't know if it's proximity to the house is a good or a bad thing!
