The bread was toothsome. The eggplant parmesan was succulent. Highly recommended!

First time eating there. Portions were great. Server was phenomenal although she could have been more attentive with drinks. Escargot app was tasty, although mushrooms were canned..dish also needed salt. I had the porterhouse scampi special. Very large shrimp, seemed not frozen. Steak was cooked properly although lacked seasoning. Very bland. Also, it was not a porterhouse, it was a t-bone. Very little if any filet on the bone. Was kind of bummed since the dish was 64.00. My date got the fish soup, it looked impressive. Lots of seafood, but Hers too was bland. Lacked seasoning. Creme Brulee dessert was made in house and very tasty.

Way better than expected. I could tell it was going to be good, but they know what they are doing. Next level great. If you are in Utica and don’t come here, you are an idiot.

I've been wanting to try this place for years! Finally got the chance to go. Ordered two pasta dishes, chicken dish and a Caesar salad. Out the four orders only one of the pasta dishes was phenomenal! We got the table bread once we were half ways through eating our dinner. Soon after they came and asked to start boxing our food which we were still eating. Once in the car everything leaked out the containers even though they wrapped them with plastic wrap, through the paper bag and onto my floor. The whole experience was not what I was hoping for

Good old world Italian food, however hard to justify the high prices

I have been to Ventura’s about six times and I have never had a bad meal here.

The appetizers are delicious and the dinner menu offers many choices.

The food is always hot and delicious and the service is tops.
