Dine Surrounded By Funky, Eclectic Artwork At This Family-Run Restaurant In Nevada

From hidden “hole-in-the-wall” casual eateries to world-renowned celebrity-owned fine dining restaurants, there seem to be endless options when it comes to a great meal in Nevada. In my experience, some of the best times come from discovering a one-of-a-kind gem that combines great flavor with a fun and unexpected vibe. This unique restaurant in Henderson, Nevada is artsy and delicious, and worth a visit.

The Pasta Shop Ristorante and Art Gallery is a unique little neighborhood eatery in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson. The family-run restaurant has been feeding locals and visitors in this fun and funky space since 1989.

This quaint space is alive with color and an eclectic art collection. The tables are each painted in different colors and styles, funky art pieces fill the walls, handmade jewelry is offered for sale, and even the light fixtures have an artsy flair.

The Pasta Shop specializes in classic Italian cuisine as well as creative dishes, from unexpected pasta combinations to stunningly-prepared artichokes, and more. And do not pass up the cheesy garlic bread.

Happy Hour, Appetizers, small plates, charcuterie platters, and a selection of great wines round out the menu and provide plenty of options for everyone.

The art and unique character is not confined to the dining room. From the giant flowers in the outdoor planters to the drapes and mounted paintings around the covered patios, and of course, more colorfully painted tables, there is always something to look at and to spark conversation.

From traditional cannoli and tiramisu to decadent cookies and cream Tartufo to pistachio ricotta cake, the desserts are sweet little works of art - make sure you save some room!

When the weather is nice, enjoy your al fresco meal under a tree on the side patio.

Each time you visit, you are likely to discover something new as the artwork that fills the wall changes and rotates.
