Favorite Places - Restaurants We Like


Below are some restaurants that we visit frequently and which we really like. These businesses offer both good food and good service, or we would not recommend them. Most are inexpensive (which we really love), but some are special places for special occassions and special pocket books.

Almost all are located local to our home, but that isn't true for all of them. But if we listed them here, we know that you'll enjoy them as much as we do, should you go and visit.

Stay hungry, my friends......

Luna Rosa
Luna Rosa

A little off the beaten path is a nice Italian restaurant called Luna Rosa. It's in Henderson, in the Las Vegas area. You're not going there for dinner on a Wednesday night. But if you're in the Vegas area, and want to do something special, it is a wonderful place, worth the trip.

The restaurant is in a little resort area east of the 515 fwy (south east Vegas), in an area called Lake Las Vegas. It hosts a private lake and a bridge that looks just like the picturesque one in Florance, Italy. The area of Lake Las Vegas has little shops, pubs, and speciallty places like a cigar bar. It is a good place to walk off dinner after you feast.

Now Luna Rosa isn't the cheapest place you'll fine in the Vegas area. Dinner for two will be north of $65, and with wine and dessert, closer to $100. But it's a wonderful place for a special occassion and to enjoy a quiet evening in Vegas (if there is such a thing).
Their address is: 10 Via Bel Canto, Henderson, NV. Phone: 702.568.9921.
