Venturas - Utica

We were a party of four last night for a friend's Birthday. I would also really like to do a review on the Utica Area Resturant Review page, but none of us took any pictures of the food or remember prices, which I believe are apart of the page's rules for a review. None of us had our phones out which is rare, we were all too busy eating! The cheese platter, the drunken clams, and roasted peppers for our appetizers were amazing!! The cheese platter was a special and not on the menu, but worth being mentioned twice on how excellent it was! My husband and I both said we'd be back soon before we even got to our entrées. Service was on point and the staff was all friendly. All around a wonderful experience. We all loved our entrées and they were all cooked to perfection. I wish I had more time to rave about Ventura's in greater detail, but trust me when I say, every table around ours last night were also raving! Fantastic job! hats off to The Chef!! I cannot wait to return.

The food was awesome. One of the very best. The waitress was great and service was fast.

The food was wonderful! The owner even brought us a jar of marinara sauce to take with us.

There are not many true Italian restaurants Left like this one the staff is top notch and polite the owner has no problems opening the door for you and the food is top notch hadn't been there for years stopped in yesterday and its just as I remember it as a kid we will be back soon

The wait staff was extremely polite and attentive. The food was excellent. Best Italian food in the area.
