| - I have lived in the area forever and never been here, so I decided it was time.
Okay, the view, we get it. IT'S LOVELY... and quite perfect. I really do love the view, but the other reviews definitely cover this part:].
The restaurant is very elegant, cozy, and spacious enough to have your own conversation without someone eavesdropping.
My favorite part about Ventano's is the staff. They were all super friendly and kept my water glass full (my favorite) and made sure everything was up to par. As for the food, I felt it was mediocre. The bread served before the meal was not as I expected. They seemed like pre-made (wannabe) fresh bread sticks, but they give you oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping, I'm not sure if I should be feeling this confusion with bread and dipping... but I associate oil and vinegar with fresh bread.
For an entree I got a pesto dish, which.. Yes, was good.. but I still feel it was average. My friend got another pasta dish with spicy marinara which he enjoyed. We also indulged in dessert.. tiramisu. Enjoyed this as well.
Ventano's is good. Nothing more, nothing less. I enjoyed my experience here, and food was definitely a step above an Olive Garden. I will be back on the occasion.
