Gaetano’s Ristorante, a family-owned Italian restaurant in the Siena Promenade center on Eastern near Coronado in Henderson open since 2002, has unveiled a bar expansion and new reverse happy hour.
The renovation brings attractive additions with a very European feel with bronze tile, stone countertop, greenery, large mirrors, beautiful marine green wallpaper, an espresso machine, two big screen TVs, additional tables and seats and extended bartop that has doubled the bar’s capacity.
A new daily Reverse Happy Hour from 8 to 9 p.m. offers 50% off more than a dozen menu favorites with purchase of any wine, cocktail, mocktail, or beer. The half off menu includes Bruschetta, Calamari Fritti, Brodetto Mussels, Stuffed Homemade Mozzarella Sticks, Rigatoni alla Vodka, Chicken Parmesan, Butternut Squash Ravioli, Ora King Salmon, Veal Milanese and Sicilian Eggplant Rollatine. This equates to some tremendous deals with nearly all selections landing below $20 after the discount, and an added bonus is the Reverse Happy Hour is available in both the bar and dining room.
