Yummy!! A must place to visit in Ventura!!
First time and loved it. Our waiter Alberto made it exciting and fun. The food was amazing. Can't wait to go back.
HAVE YOUR WEDDING AT ARNOLDI'S! This was the best night of our life. The venue was decked out to perfection with flowers, sun umbrellas, string lights—it was the most beautiful backyard summer garden vibe. The food was great (especially for a large wedding party), and most importantly the waitstaff and crew were incredible and kind.

Arnoldi's Cafe is a highly recommended Italian restaurant, known for its delicious food, incredible staff, and attentive service. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes with generous portions, and the smell alone makes it a memorable experience. The spaghetti with bolognese sauce is a standout dish. The atmosphere has a lively vibe, and the outdoor seating along with bocce ball adds to the enjoyable dining experience. The bar program is great, providing wonderful service, especially before the table is ready. Dishes are cooked very Italian style, and the menu includes hearty portions such as potato dumplings served in three different ways. Zucchini blossoms are highly recommended. The dessert affogato, with vanilla ice cream, rum, and coffee poured over, is a new favorite for many. The staff goes above and beyond to fulfill requests, making Arnoldi's Cafe an excellent choice for events. Recent visits, however, have shown that service can sometimes be slow, especially when outdoor tables are far from the main area, leading to delays in drink and food orders. Despite this, the overall experience remains positive, with friendly staff and a great atmosphere. The restaurant's presentation and taste of dishes like rotolo spinicci are appreciated, though some found certain dishes, such as the butternut squash ravioli and chicken Melanese, a bit heavy or overcooked. Still, the European-style service and lively environment make Arnoldi's Cafe a favorite spot for many.
