Cucina Venti Restaurant

"Overall great experience. On the pricier side of the spectrum for Italian cuisine, but worth it if you're trying to have an upscale experience. The food portions were spot on, the drinks were lovely, but pricey, and the service was remarkable. This restaurant includes gratuity which is a plus in my opinion and I think I'll be going back one day."

"Decided to come here for an impromptu dinner and it was quite the experience. We reached post 8 pm and knew we had about an hour to go which was enough time for us. We made a reservation so got seated right away. Our server was well dressed, polite and came to our table as soon as we got seated with water. He mentioned he would be back in a few mins to take our order. We decided to go with a glass of the featured reds - the Malbec from Argentina and it was delicious. We started with the bruschetta and it was just the right perfect size to get the meal stared. We also ordered the Halibut with truffle risotto and that was mind blowing. Super tasteful and flavors blended in very well. We also got the Mary's chicken and it was good but the flavors in the sauce felt a bit underwhelming. It was simple but I would have preferred a bit more zing or flavor to it! It's one of the nicer places in town and definitely worth stepping in for a special occasion kind of meal. I am definitely gonna be back for more!"

"Noise level was a bit high.. and it wasn’t very crowded at first. Hard floors & walls let the sound bounce. They also left the back doors open which made the room colder than necessary. But overall service, food and ambiance was good for a group business meal. FYI tight and limited shared plaza parking."

"In life there's always a balance and what I found in Cucina Venti is a great little spot with a nice atmosphere and wonderful service. The few things that are a slight negative that needs some thought are the wine selections and the food prices. I can't justify ordering wine by the glass at $27-40. It seemed rude in a sense like someone is insulting my intelligence. I drink wine almost daily and wouldn't even mention this detail if there were $12-18 options. The indoor area was a little loud but was nicely decorated. We opted for the outdoor area as it was a little more private and the weather was perfect. There's a little noise from the street but it didn't bother us at all. There are heaters out there and they work great, maybe a little too good at times. lol For food, we started with cocktails. Presentation was good and nice blend of smoothness and punch. We had the Bruschetta to start off. Crunchy toast with fresh tangy tomatoes with a puree of olives and drizzle of olive oil. Perfect way to get our pallet cleansed and ready for the main course. I had the Scallops and my partner had the Mushroom Ravioli. Presentation was perfect and both dishes didn't disappoint at all. I'm not sure how authentic these dishes are but it didn't matter to me. Usually native Italian dishes are less saucy, but who's complaining? We're in America. I want to thank the staff for a great experience. I'm sure I'll be back sometime soon. What's the corkage fee? lol"
