"Readers love the home-style northern Italian fare at Gaetano’s Ristorante. Look for homemade pastas and raviolis, veal, poultry, beef, and seafood. Try the Mezzelune di Vitello con Porcini made with homemade half moon pasta filled with veal, served with peas, prosciutto, and porcini mushrooms in a light cream sauce." - Janna Karel
"This family-owned Henderson Italian restaurant keeps things fresh with wine dinner events and a reverse happy hour — even in a restaurant that has been open since 2022. Mozzarella sticks are delightfully warm and cheesy — just right when paired with pistachio pesto. A Caesar salad with salty Sicilian anchovies may be worth spoiling your appetite for. And bowls of lasagna are deeply comforting with layers of bolognese and béchamel sauces over supple noodles." - Janna Karel
"Veal and porcini mezzaluna ravioli in cream sauce, orecchiette calabrese with Calabrese sausage and broccoli rabe, and pillowy dumplings in pistachio pestos are some of the pastas made in-house every day at this family-owned restaurants. For a special experience, join one of the restaurant’s regular wine-pairing dinners." - Janna Karel
