Ristorante Sandolo , our casual Italian bistro, often considered "the next best thing to being there," brings a touch of Venice to the desert.

It features Southern Italian cuisine presented in a fun and relaxed setting. Open for dinner, Sandolo has such Italian specialties as appetizers--Calamari Fritti , Minestrone and Pasta e Fagioli Soups; entrées--Fettucini Alfredo, Lasagne, Cannelloni Ripieni di Carne, Seared Chilean Sea Bass, Osso Buco Milanese and Vitello con Fungo (all entrées are served with a chopped Italian salad); desserts—Warm Chocolate Torte with Caramel Ganache, Sandolino, Panna Cotta and Tiramisu. Weekly specials are also offered. Lakeside, Sandolo offers guests complimentary rides in a Sandoli Veneziane (Venetian Sandoli), Venetian gondola-style boat. As guests cruise the resort's waterway, they are serenaded by a singing sandolier.

Those who desire Southwestern fare need look no further than Squash Blossom, open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Poolside, the "Water Garden" features paninis, sandwiches and salads.
