St. George, Utah, sits an hour north of Las Vegas, in the center of the beautiful Virgin River Valley. The area's first inhabitants were ancient Anasazi peoples, who called the valley home from 200 B.C to 1200 A.D. Cotton was grown here under the direction of Later Day Saints President Brigham Young in the post-Civil War times---hence the nickname Utah's Dixie. St. George is home to several fine restaurants and lounges.
Conveniently located just off Interstate 15, Scaldoni's chef, Johnny Devivo, serves an eclectic selection of Italian and American cuisine. Fresh fish is flown in daily, and the restaurant offers the choice of a full menu or options for a five- or seven-course dining experience. Enjoy a selection of domestic, microbrew and imported beers, a full wine list or cocktails of any type in the warm, inviting lounge or a full meal in the beautifully appointed dining room. A visit to the lounge will deliver a full tapas menu and four large flat-screen televisions. Book the V.I.P. room for meetings or small private gatherings. The room features a 60-inch screen for presentations and WiFi. Scaldoni's is open nightly for dinner. Reservations are recommended.
