Preparing authentic Italian cuisine comes easy for chef Antonio Minichiello of Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas’ Veranda restaurant.

Our Inspector's Highlights
• Thanks to Engstrom Design Group, the stylish eatery now includes an eight-seat communal table, which is perfect for traditional family-style meals; eclectic light fixtures; and an open wood screen that “separates” the front of the restaurant from the back.
• Also expect to see chairs with orange seats, light blue leather banquettes, wood tables and earth tones in the carpeting. (The patio offers wicker chairs and is surrounded by lush greenery.)
• But should you just want to pop into the bar for a drink, choose from super-chic textured leather bucket stools or a banquette with a striking hot pink and green swirl pattern to enjoy your wine in comfort.
• Known for its handmade pastas and items like braised beef short ribs, Veranda continues to push Italian cuisine to the next level.
• If you show up a little early for a dinner reservation and don’t want to wait around inside Veranda, you don’t have to. Just walk a couple of steps over to Press, the hotel’s indoor/outdoor lobby bar and sip on a Cloud 9 (caramel Maker’s Mark, salted caramel ice cream and house whipped cream) before indulging in your appetizing meal.
