It was the birthday celebration dinner date. At the end of dining, we asked if we would have a complimentary cake for birthday, and the first waiter answered yes and then left. In the meantime, the second waiter came and asked what kind of cake we liked, Tiramisu, chocolate cake, or creme brulee. We chose the tiramisu and felt glad that the free cake was with options. Of course not, they charged us the tiramisu cake and then brought another birthday small cake to our table. It confused us with two waiters coming to our table asking for cakes in the begining. We wanted to argue with the confusion but they refused to refund. They totally ruined my birthday. Never come again.

We loved everything, the food and service were great, but it was a bit overpriced. $24 for a cocktail is ridiculous. It would’ve been nice to have a small salad or a cup of soup included in the entrée, then I think the value would be better appreciated.

Went for lunch and I ordered a house red. When the bill came, I found that they had charged me $27 for one glass of wine, WTF. They are charging dinner prices for lunch, so with the meal and the wine, it was the most expensive lunch I've ever had. I gave them an average overall score for the food and the service but I'll likely never go again.

First of all, when you walk in, it’s absolutely beautiful. Everyone is welcoming. The manager there has been there a long time and is fabulous. He Remembered the birthday girls name! Our server, Henry is just the absolute best… Food was delicious. The octopus appetizer was to die for and calamari was excellent! Bartender made a fantastic Cosmo! Great wine selection. It was wonderful from start to finish. AlI I can say is I’ve been there several times and will definitely go back! My favorite place to go for a birthday.

Recently celebrated my birthday at Cucina Venti with my boyfriend and it was a such a great experience. My appointment 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 had Diego as our server, he was attentive when needed. Food was good but we could have used bigger portions for apps as it was a party of five. Overall the drinks were perfect and the ambience was very nice and welcoming. I enjoyed our birthday celebration.

The food was great. Wine lineups were versatile but a little bit pricy. We were so blessed if they serve more by the glass lineups.
