I had a great experience at Cucina Venti Restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and elegant, with a cozy candlelit setting. I really enjoyed the halibut filet with black truffle risotto— I generally like dishes with truffle, but this risotto was especially good, rich and creamy. The fish was also perfectly cooked. The creme brulee was excellent, with a smooth texture and crisp caramelized top. Overall, delicious food and a lovely ambiance. I’d definitely come back.

Recently celebrated my birthday at Cucina Venti with my boyfriend and it was a such a great experience. My reservation was 6:00 but I ran into traffic so I called and the receptionist rescheduled me to 6:30 with no issues. Our server(but I forgot his name 🙁 was super sweet, attentive and professional. It was a bit busy that day but our server tried his best to made sure we enjoyed our time. Food was delicious, fairly priced and the restaurant is absolutely beautiful, a bit loud but I just love that vibe. Thank you guys for a such a wonderful experience and memories. I’ll definitely see you guys soon!

We went in as a large party were surprised by this upscale beautiful restaurant hiding in plain site on shoreline.
The place is classy, the service fantastic, and the food was top notch. We had many different items and can’t complain about any of them – the meats, steaks, scallops, paella, pasta, and even the bread – everything was superb.

Unfortunately I will have to echo similar recent reviews. I came here for the Valentine’s dinner with my partner and it was terribly unsatisfactory. First of all, we saw our server maybe only twice the entire night – once for taking our orders and then giving us the check. We asked for the complimentary champagne to be served later with our dessert, but NEVER received it…
The appetizers were quite sad too, barely less than two measly bites each for the lamb riblets and zucchini cakes. I ordered a glass of wine and was not offered to taste it or see the bottle, the waiter simply dumped a carafe into my glass with no word. The salad and lobster bisque we ordered was actually quite okay taste wise, but unfortunately we then had to wait over AN HOUR for our mains to come out. I’m not sure if the restaurant was somehow understaffed for one of the predictably busiest nights of the year, but waiting over an hour for our mains was truly unacceptable. We got the filet mignon and there was barely less than a bite or two of mashed potatoes. By the time we got to dessert we simply wanted to go home and forget about this night. The couple next to us arrived an hour later but somehow received their mains before us. Our candle also went out several times due to many waiters rushing by constantly, yelling at each other. It felt like this restaurant was just very disorganized, and the service was significantly below standard.
It’s sad because the quality of their food was good sometimes, so it could have been a great experience if only the organization and attention to detail was better. We had to pay over $350 for this special meal and gratuity was automatically included, despite the abysmal service. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone and will definitely never come back here again.
Edit: seems like they’re hiding or deleting negative reviews!!!

We attended a company dinner party here.
First, Google Maps will take you to the intersection, not the actual restaurant. Second, there is almost no parking
Third, there are no signs on the doors. We were continually interrupted by people trying to attend another company party. The entrance to the restaurant is not under the sign.
We were placed in a converted kitchen for our meal.
They have some amazing custom craft cocktails. However, if you take out the monstrous 2x2x2 ice cube, there’s not even a shot of liquid in the glass. NOT worth $22!
They were also not very attentive with bringing the drinks. We had asked for drinks 3 times then, asked a supervisor to bring them over.
Some of us have found the lamb to be amazing. The stakes looked deliciousEven though some people don’t like them to be pink.In the middle. Others found the chicken to be dry.

Cucina venti is a great restaurant for a special meal. We came on our first date and return each year for our anniversary! The service is unmatched and the food is delicious. I would agree with other reviews that the large ice cubes in the cocktails do make the $25 cost feel quite steep: nonetheless they are delicious.

We enjoyed coming here for a date night. Wanted try a new Italian restaurant. This isn’t a typical Italian-American joint where there’s pasta in every dish. To me it was more of a regional restaurant that had food with Greek flavors. Not sure if I explained it well, but it was refreshing. The service was excellent and the food was very tasty. I thought it was a bit pricey for the amount food that was served, but it’s probably because of its location.

Had a romantic night out with a special person. Enjoyed the company, the food and the service.
It’s nestled in a parking lot that shares it with 7/11 and a dental office next door. Wild! But once you enter the restaurant it’s a whole different vibe.
The ceasar salad was delicious, creamy, and fresh. They use long romaine lettuce and house made ceasar dressing. The croutons were average.
The complementary mini bread would be great warmed up, but nonetheless it was tasty.
I ordered the halibut whichwas pan seared. Flavor/seasoning could’ve been more noticeable but nonetheless it was moist and cooked just right. The balsamic vinegar was a little off putting. They could’ve used another acid based sauce to cut through the richness of the fish. But the drizzle of olive oil and cherry tomatoes was a nice touch. It was all on top of a bed of risotto with truffle oil and mushrooms.
My date had seared scallops with grilled asparagus, bacon, etc in a light sauce. It cooked correctly and flavors were good.
It is pricy but you pay for the atmosphere, food and service which was on point. I’ve read that the outdoor dining experience is a must.

SCAM – BUYER BEWARE
We spent a total of $570 for a “four course” Valentines Day meal that consisted of 1.) two ribs of lamb that were genuinely the size of my pinky, 2.) lobster bisque that I finished in four bites, 3.) Filet mignon that was Outback Steakhouse quality with mashed potatoes that consisted of maybe two bites, and 4.) ice cream and chocolate chunks.
The cocktails were filled with massive ice spheres that filled up the glass to give the appearance of a full drink, but upon lifting it out of the glass, it was maybe a three-quarter of an inch filled drink.
Would not wish this restaurant on my worst enemy. I will be setting a weekly calendar reminder on my phone to ensure this rating isn’t deleted so that no one has to endure the embarrassment we had to for what we hoped would be a special night.
