A fantastic way to celebrate our 19yr anniversary! The food was amazing (as always). Our waitress was friendly and prompt. The price was on point (actually a bit less than expected)! Definitely a place to go if your in the area!

I've been wanting to try this place for years! Finally got the chance to go. Ordered two pasta dishes, chicken dish and a Caesar salad. Out the four orders only one of the pasta dishes was phenomenal! We got the table bread once we were half ways through eating our dinner. Soon after they came and asked to start boxing our food which we were still eating. Once in the car everything leaked out the containers even though they wrapped them with plastic wrap, through the paper bag and onto my floor. The whole experience was not what I was hoping for

★★★★☆ 4.0 Andre A. · Feb 2025

Had a good meal at Ventura’s. Super friendly service, with really nice waitress focused on making sure we had a great evening. Huge menu with lots of options all classic Italian fare. Decor has an old-school Sopranos vibe. Food was classic Italian, well prepared, but none of the items wow’d in terms of taste. Overall, give it a 4/5, I would recommend.

We wanted somewhere special to bring family from out of town and Ventura’s was perfect! Our meals and desserts were delicious, the staff was friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere was elegant and welcoming. We had a wonderful evening and our family loved the experience. I would recommend Ventura’s again and again for a special evening or just for a great meal out. Consistently a great choice!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Charlie Talmadge · Nov 2025

First time eating there. Portions were great. Server was phenomenal although she could have been more attentive with drinks. Escargot app was tasty, although mushrooms were canned..dish also needed salt. I had the porterhouse scampi special. Very large shrimp, seemed not frozen. Steak was cooked properly although lacked seasoning. Very bland. Also, it was not a porterhouse, it was a t-bone. Very little if any filet on the bone. Was kind of bummed since the dish was 64.00. My date got the fish soup, it looked impressive. Lots of seafood, but Hers too was bland. Lacked seasoning. Creme Brulee dessert was made in house and very tasty.
