Hello, I am a traveler of Argentine - Italian nationality.I came across this very particular place.A cozy restaurant with a very pleasant atmosphere.Its owner and chef Ramiro was very kind and welcoming to me and my wife.They let us choose our table as we liked.As soon as we sat down they brought us water with lemon and hot bread with Eggplant Caponata (amazing )We then tried a Calamari appetizer (abundant and tender) and then Fettuccine Alfredo and Salmon Dill (5⭐️)The food is prepared at the moment and in front of the customers.Each main dish comes with a soup or salad (you can add protein or different types of salad for a fee).Both the waiter and the assistant were very attentive and friendly.RECOMMENDATION!!This is NOT your average American restaurant.You should arrive prepared to have the experience of a European restaurant, where one goes to enjoy, relax and eat delicious food.The attention is personalized, so it takes time.Patience and understanding where one went to eat is important.Thank you so much.We will return, without a doubt!

Very nice place to dine if around the benecia area and don't mind going out of your way to enjoy good Italian cooking. The place is quaint with the restaurant resembling an old Victorian home. The staff are way friendly and welcoming. The food is done just right.

The restaurant is quiet and mellow. Servers are quick and the food is wonderful. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you enjoy intimate settings.

What makes this place is the customer service. These guys get what it means to take care of guests. Food is good but needs more vegan/vegetarian options. Also more music since the playlist is like six songs and you can tell after 30 minutes.

Nice quiet ambience! Waitress was friendly and staff was attentive. Food overall was pretty tasty. Would dine here again ,
Benicia is a wonderful town and Venticellos adds to the experience with friendly staff, good food, reasonable prices. Street parking is easy as is access to the restaurant.

I haven’t even left the restaurant yet and I’m coming here to say this is five stars across the board! I ordered a butternut squash soup, cappuccino, and an Italian soda. They also give you a side of bread with a tomato spread. The service was some of the best I’ve ever gotten in a restaurant and the servers were so friendly and accommodating. When I asked if the Italian soda was creamy she offered to put cream in it, just for me. I couldn’t believe the quality of each dish was so consistent, and by consistent I mean DELICIOUS. Will be returning!

I love this place! Their dinner and brunch/lunch menus are both amazing and everything is delicious. The service is also very good every time I come here. I live in Sacramento and still make sure to come here every time I visit.
Great food, friendly service, nice atmosphere. A gem of a place.
