This cozy place serves some delicious food in style. It's located in a busy, small shopping center, but once you get inside, you forget all that, because it's a stylish and beautifully decorated place. The Italian inspired food is usually very good and the service better. We've tasted the steaks and fish, which are always delicious, but we hear from family that the pasta is good too.

Business dinner. Hard to read menu - need a flashlight from the phone. Ordered s short rib. Well prepared but the rib was so short that had to use cellphone light again to find it on the plate. Amount of puree was like a spot under nano-rib. The rest of he plate was uselessly decorated. Then tiramisu for desert was ok but the slice was miniature again. don't even think sharing it. Dinner that you feel hungry after.

They source good meat and fish, and it is well cooked. But the seasoning is off. Too light sometimes, too sour/bitter sometimes. Cocktails are acceptable but not at this price.

This restaurant has the worst management and policies. I made a reservation through OpenTable for myself and my 7-year-old daughter. When we arrived, we were told we could not dine because the restaurant does not allow children. This policy was not stated anywhere on OpenTable, which is completely unreasonable.

I asked the manager to make an exception, especially since the restaurant was empty, but they refused. To make matters worse, they falsely claimed that they had texted me in advance to inform me that children were not allowed, which never happened.

Based on this experience, I would strongly advise families—and anyone who values honest communication—to avoid this restaurant.

Restaurant didn’t update their holiday hours and allowed me to make a reservation. Drove to this place to find out it’s closed.

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 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.

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.

Overpriced food and drinks. Waiter tries to push as much as they can, including yesterday's wine at a 'bargain' price of $50 a glass. Mixed up the left over doggy bags. I got someone else's. Place to visit if someone else is picking up the tab.

I've been eating here for many years and keep coming back so decided to finally leave a review! The outdoor patio is awesome, total oasis vibe with tons of privacy from the plants and overhangs that keep it cozy by the fireplace even on cooler nights. The interior has an upscale vibe with classy decor and ambience. The food never disappoints. The bruschetta and watermelon salad is super fresh and tasty. The lamb chops are juicy as can be. And the pasta is excellent. The creative cocktails are next level (love the clear large ice cubes), and they've got a huge wine selection to pick from. Service is friendly, and for fine dining the price is worth it. You definitely get what you pay for when you come here. I will keep coming back!

Wonderful business dinner experience tonight at Cucina Venti. The cocktails, mainly the old fashioned, were a wonderful warm up. Our table ate fairly light, but nobody left hungry. I enjoyed the mushroom ravioli and the tender fresh pasta was on par with what I enjoyed at home, made myself, or in Italy herself. Their prices have come to earth a small bit, so the value is improved. Ate outside for the first time, and the noise level is pretty much zero out there. Our table had a great evening. Thank you Cucina Venti!

It's alright, prices are pretty outrageous for the quality of food and portion size. Food 6/10. Value 2/10. Good service though
