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.

This was our first time dining at Cucina Venti, and it won't be our last! The atmosphere was warm and friendly (except for the cool breeze blowing through). The service was excellent, and the two items we ordered were both quite delicious. We didn't dare try the outdoor seating (which appears to be even larger than the indoor seating), as it was rather cold out this time of year, but we would definitely try sitting outdoors during warmer weather.

The service was exceptional! My server was helpful and very knowledgeable about the menu and what items made good parings. The manager was aware of my travel gear and seated me where it was out of the way but I was comfortable.

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
