Went to Ventuno for Christmas Stroll and had a lovely dinner. The food and team were very nice. Just the bar was a bit loud for the dining room. The lasagna was very rich and cooked to perfection. A return spot for sure.

Absolutely unreal meal here. Definitely better than 4 star rating here. A legit 5 star, and not a touristy 5 star either. Go here.
Meatballs nice and soft with plenty of meat in a large serving. Fried Squash blossoms perfect.
Tuna entrees & app, lamb, and halibut (maybe best I’ve ever had, see closeup in my pic) had each person ravjng.
Bruschetta good, but I’d probably skip next time. Zucchini fries a definite skip. Duck very good, but with the amazing competition in the above entrees I mentioned, I would get one of the above entrees and you will not be disappointed.
Service & pacing excellent despite full restaurant & bar. .
Very loud, a little cramped, but it was Nantucket on a Friday night.

It was OK. Let’s start the positive first – great service. One of the best services on the island. The place is ok, nothing special. Drinks was ok,again nothing special. Great wine list. Appetizers were great , probably the best thing that we tried. I will recommend the meatballs- they were definitely delicious. The last time when I was here was 8 years ago. I was dreaming about the steak … unfortunately, it wasn’t as i remember it. Steak tasted good, but the side was terrible. We tried a bunch of different dishes overall, which was ok. When was our time to order desserts, They were out of everything except donuts… such a disappointment.
Would i visit again this year … maybe no … but i will definitely try again next one .

This is a place for drinks, not food. Every drink I ordered was delicious and interesting in a good way.
The food is … Well take a look at the soup that they call pasta and they added truffles to and charged $34 for. The food is acceptable at best (the burrata and fried olives with sausage) and disappointing overall. The pasta is just so poorly done and so salty. It tastes like it was frozen and from a bucket and just reheated in the microwave.

The cute refurbished home is a great Italian restaurant on the island. 10/10 recommend. The food was delicious and fresh. Put this place on your list of places to eat at when you’re visiting the island.

Absolutely awful. Bartender ‘Johnny B’ was unbelievably unprofessional and rude. He cared more about getting some ‘regulars’ behind the bar for a picture than taking care of people sitting at the bar wanting a simple drink.
My friend tried ordering a drink and he couldn’t hear and he was incredibly rude and the other bartender had to take over.
He then proceeded to go tell the rest of his ‘regulars’ and make fun of my friend for not being able to hear them.
Absolutely sad excuse of a bartender. Fire the old man.

You could not go wrong with anything you pick! The lamb was THE BEST I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot of good lamb. It was so buttery and soft. The atmosphere was cozy with what looked like featured artwork on the walls.

I wish I could leave two separate reviews, one for the food and one for the service, because they couldn’t have been more different.
The steak was phenomenal, the seabass was perfectly cooked and all ingredients came together perfect, the meatballs were flavorful and tender, and the burrata was top notch. The kitchen clearly knows what it’s doing, and the quality of the food alone makes this place worth considering.
But the service? Easily some of the worst I’ve experienced in a long time.
Our waiter approached the table and began shouting something while I was still reading the menu. When I looked up and asked him to repeat what he said, he seemed offended, then walked away and took forever to return. I noticed him speaking in a perfectly normal tone and manner to the table beside us, which made our interaction feel even more deliberate and strange.
When I later asked a question, he literally put his hand up to stop me mid-sentence, as if I was bothering him. He acted annoyed any time we spoke, and he was honestly difficult to hear most of the time. It was uncomfortable and unnecessary.
To top it off, we were seated at a random, awkward table in a high-traffic area, which felt oddly out of place considering there were better spots open.
Bottom line: this place has incredible food, but the waiter we had was rude, dismissive, and full of himself. If service matters to you, it might ruin the experience.

Great fresh food and awesome drinks. Can’t say enough about this place…. A must try if you like Italian when on Nantucket. The meatballs are out of this works and if you are a fan of Arancini’s you will be impressed.

We had dinner at the back bar and it was an excellent experience. For appetizers, we tried the calamari and the meatballs both were fantastic. The meatballs were delicious, and the fried lemons in the calamari were such a great touch. For mains, we had the tuna and nduja pasta, which was great, and the duck breast was probably the best one I’ve ever had. Crispy skin, perfectly cooked and juicy. Ian and Ty behind the bar provided incredible hospitality and made our dinner truly memorable. Looking forward to coming back
