   Excellent food…appetizer (shrimp), scallops and filet mignon were all excellent as well as the tiramisu dessert. Service was excellent as well. I would have no issues recommending this restaurant to friends and family.

   Our servers were very attentive and we enjoyed our meals (bruschetta, scallops) very much. Pricey, though, and they add an automatic 20% gratuity, although they do point that out rather than hiding it (to their credit).

   Our dinner was perfect. For appetizers, we had the sizzling prawns and short riblets. Dinner was the fettuccine pescatore and scallops with asparagus. All were cooked to perfection. The host was very attentive and made sure our drinks were never empty. The godfather was delicious with a bold smokey flavor

   Excellent service servers were very attentive and knowledgeable about gluten free food since we had a celiac in our group. We’ll definitely come back

   Excellent atmosphere, service and menu. The lamb and the mushroom ravioli were both very good.

   Terrific service. Lovely ambiance. Spanish octopus was outstanding. Caesar salad had no anchovies, but otherwise excellent. Husband found the pasta with duck confit delicious. Only criticism was my scallops were a bit bitter, albeit perfectly done.

   The service was prompt but you could tell the wait staff was not trained well. We had 3 people coming to our table on & off. Asking us the same questions. One of the waiters was wearing clothing 2 sizes to big for him. They never removed the wine glasses or small plates that we never used so we had a ton of glasses & plates stacked to the side when trying to eat. It was just weird. Food was good but not great as we expected for the price point. We had higher expectations for this restaurant knowing it was supposed to be a more upscale restaurant with the price point on their menu. Unfortunately it fell flat for us. I've never been to a restaurant where they didn't ask us if we would like dessert. We had to ask one of the waitstaff for a dessert menu. But I guess they don't have a dessert menu since he just verbally told us 3 desserts to choose from....lol

   Dinner before show, highly recommend Cucina Venti ~ timely, delicious and fun! Our filet mignon and Harris ranch short ribs were tender, made-to-order and scrumptious! Our server, Danny, funny and attentive, and personally delivered a drink off menu that was perfect! Restaurant is nicely tucked away and has been thriving for 18 years! We’ll be going back.

   Sat at the bar waiting for my party but once she arrived, we ended up enjoying our time at the bar. I believe I overheard the other guests call the bartender Jonathan was very attentive and very helpful with our appetizer and entre choices. My friend who has never been to Cucina Venti really enjoyed every moment and the décor of the restaurant.

    This restaurant has changed for much the worse,, unfortunately! Awful loud music, slow/confused service, no pepper/salt except in little bowls, way overpriced, and the last straw was a enforced default tip even though we were only *2* people! Won't be going back there for a very long time!
