Venturas - Utica

To start, we ordered the cheese platter, drunken clams, and roasted peppers for our appetizers, and they were all outstanding! The cheese platter was a special not listed on the menu, but it was so good it deserves a mention all on its own! My husband and I had already decided we would come back soon before we even finished our entrées. The service was impeccable, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. We all thoroughly enjoyed our entrées, which were cooked to perfection. I wish I had more time to elaborate on how wonderful Ventura's is, but I can assure you that the tables around us were just as enthusiastic as we were! Kudos to the chef for a job well done! I can’t wait to visit again!

The food was amazing—truly one of the best I've had. The waitress was excellent, and the service was quick.

The food was amazing! The owner even gave us a jar of marinara sauce to take home with us.
