    Passion Fruit Mocktail w/tajin rim
    HK H.

    Came for dinner before a show at Pear Theater (also a great visit!). Gorgeous interior and friendly staff. The patio has chandeliers: fun! All our dishes were delicious (a little salty, maybe). Our waiter paired our dishes with great mocktails.

    4.5 Stars! Food was delicious! Service was amazing, especially considering we were a large group of 14 (There was a dedicated server off to the side at all times for us.), ambiance is high-end & upscale for sure, which you might not think at first due to the exterior. But it's beautiful inside. There is a mandatory tip for all groups, which is not uncommon for high-end restaurants.

    Chicken Penne Pasta
    HanNa P.

    It was okay. Inside was pretty clean, we did like how it looked and was kept. The food was alright for what it is. We got the Mango salad, Burrata, Chicken penne pasta and Fettuccine duck. Both pasta were fairly tasty. The salad was ok at best. Just tasted out of a bag from a grocery. The Burrata is hard to mess up so it was fine. Service was nice but not efficient at all. Please say hello to all customers. Although our server did greet us, he ignored the younger guy behind us multiple times. And the same main server only came by our table to drop off food. It was difficult to get his attention. This makes no sense when the whole restaurant only had three tables full. Private lot in back.

    Greens and Apples Salad Tray with salmon
    Esmeralda G.

    Loved having dinner here! The venue is beautiful and the service was excellent! We ordered the Sausage and Honey Flatbread and a Greens & Apples salad with salmon - they were both delicious and prepared well! We also ordered a mango margarita, and it was really refreshing! Would absolutely return here!

    Amazing find. This place is upscale. The interior is beautiful so dress up. The food is bomb!! Very delish. The entire group raved about everything that we ordered. Drinks are great. The bartender definitely knows how to make good drinks. They don't do substitutions so if you have food intolerance this may not be the place for you. They offer a free cake piece for your birthday. Good to know: their inside sits only 18+ and outside is 10+. We found out after reaching there. Luckily we had everyone 10+ aged kids.

    Cucina Venti is a fairly good restaurant option near where I work and it's within walking distance to the Shashi hotel. It's an upscale italian restaurant and I've been there for small team dinners as well as large group dinners. The food tends to be overpriced for the taste, but the ambiance of the restaurant is great and the service is pretty good. The last time I was here was with 2 other people and we got angel hair pasta, ravioli, and the watermelon feta salad with arugula. The pastas were good, but the watermelon feta salad lacked seasoning and flavor.

    Cucina Venti offers an ambiance that is truly one of a kind, elevated, warm, and undeniably memorable. It has an indulgent, polished vibe that makes the experience feel special the moment you walk in. Their wine selection is solid and pairs nicely with the menu, and the service was very attentive throughout the evening. The food was good and nicely elevated, but it didn't quite reach that "spectacular" level you might expect at this price point. The dishes seem to lean more into the indulgent atmosphere rather than delivering standout culinary moments. Overall, it is a beautiful spot and a unique dining experience that is hard to come by, but it does feel overpriced for what you receive. If you are going for the ambiance, thoughtful service, and the occasion, it is worth a visit, just know the experience may outshine the food.

    Seafood Paella
    Mary W.

    Amazing customer care by Christine Schoonover, GM at Cucina Venti & Silicon Valley Corporate Catering. I truly admire an establishment that listens to feedback and stands behind the level of service and experience one expects from fine dining. I had originally taken a fellow foodie friend to Cucina Venti for her birthday in December 2025, as we love trying new restaurants together. Unfortunately, that visit was a bit of a letdown--likely due to the busy holiday season. Christine personally reached out, took the time to listen to my feedback, and graciously invited me back. This past Saturday, I returned--and I'm so glad I did. Our server, Henry, was pleasant and attentive. We started with the Sausage & Honey Flatbread--delicious, though slightly spicy from the serrano peppers--and the beet salad, which was fresh and flavorful. For mains, we enjoyed the Halibut Filet (excellent for seafood lovers), Mary's Chicken, and the Seafood Paella. Everything was well-prepared, beautifully plated, and very enjoyable. The paella was flavorful; just note it doesn't feature the traditional Spanish socarrat--that delicate, golden crust some may expect. Thank you to Christine and the entire team at Cucina Venti for a lovely and redeeming dining experience!

    I I have visited this restaurant several times over the past few years and always enjoyed the experience. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing. I ordered a medium-rare steak but received it medium. While it was replaced, no apology was given. The service was inattentive, and no one check / greeting our table during the meal. In addition, bread was only served after I asked for it. Overall, this visit fell well below the standard I had experienced here before.

    Chocolate cake
    Janice M.

    Came on a Saturday evening, we made reservations so no wait. When we got there, we were seated right away. The interior of the restaurant is very beautiful, ambiance is romantic as well The server was so sweet and kept checking in on us. Great service! Food: Complimentary bread 1. Appetizer: Spanish octopus, not bad 7/10 2. Mushroom ravioli: amazing, this was very delicious, probably one of the best mushroom ravioli I had. The flavors were balanced, very savory and creamy 10/10 3. Fettuccine with duck confit: very unique dish, the cream sauce was a bit heavy 7.5/10 It was a birthday celebration and there was a little card on the table that says Happy Birthday on it. And they surprised us with a small piece of chocolate cake which was a super sweet gesture. Overall had a fantastic time and will definitely come back!

    Hidden gem, located in a strip mall, walking distance from The Shoreline, which makes it a great venue for dinner before a show. We had a reservation for 10 people and was seated immediately upon arriving. Ambience and decor was stunning. Very upscale which explains the wedding pics I saw when searching this place. Service was perfect. Jeannie was the sweetest, kindest, most knowledgeable gal we could've hoped for. The rest of the staff was really nice too. We were offered still or sparkling water upon being seated. The little complimentary breads which you get 2 of are heavenly with a hint of rosemary. Wanted more but we had alot of food coming so we didn't ask. Calamari: big pieces, lightly fried Cesar salad: big pieces which I prefer chopped, nice a crisp tho Fettuccine carbonara: creamy, flavorful Harris Ranch Short Ribs: Delicious, tender Black truffle risotto: Rich, creamy, hearty Fettuccini pescatore: spicy, lotsa seafood Summer Spritz: yum! Old Fashion: great! New Fashioned: very good! Stunning presentation, get it! No room for dessert, but someone in our group got the tiramisu and it looked good.

    Halibut
    Tanya W.

    Honestly, I liked everything about this place other than the food and drinks. It's kind of odd to say that about a restaurant but, it is what it is. The service and white linen tablecloths, tall green hedges, and decor were really lovely. It's hard to believe that you're located in the middle of a mall next to a dilapidated abandoned building. The salad was actually pretty good but the $26 cocktail was a complete miss. The $49 seafood pasta was ok but not al dente and not enough fish. I'm sure some things on the menu are better than others but for my one and only time there is was definitely a miss.

    Seared Scallops
    Rachel M.

    I'm honestly surprised this restaurant doesn't have a better average rating because our experience was exceptional. Firstly the ambiance is very upscale, I mean can you ever have too many chandeliers? We had a large party and shared a variety of appetizers. The grilled octopus salad was super delicious and cooked really well. The calamari was also crispy and not overly chewy. For my main I had the scallops and they were absolutely divine. One of the best dishes I've had in awhile. The other things that stood out was how amazing the staff was. A water glass never empty, empty dishes cleared promptly, and great knowledge of the menu and recommendations. They even expedited a dessert since we had to head out shortly. The cocktails were also really nice. It's definitely a more upscale restaurant but I'd come here on a special occasion in a heart beat! Hope to back again soon.

    Ask the Community - Cucina Venti Restaurant

    Pet friendly at the patio?

    Yes, our patio is dog friendly.

    Where is this located?

    It's located at 1390 Pear Ave Ste D, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States. Close to the Starbucks.

    I saw this on the menu, am I reading it right? "for all dining guests, an automatic gratuity of 20% will be applied"

    Yes. It is 20% gratuity

    I want to celebrate my 17th birthday with my friend, are we not allowed to sit inside?

    Of course you can. My belief is the restaurant wants to promote a quiet, relaxing experience and avoid the parents that bring their unsupervised, unruly children.

    Can we just walk in without making a reservation?

    Yup! My husband and I did. But if you're going with a group, a reservation is a good idea

    Hello, are you open for indoor dining?

    this is a super late response but they have been open for indoor dining for a while. both indoor and outdoor dining (at the back with heaters and front) is available.

    Hi. Do you have e-gift cards available for purchase? Thanks

    Hello Melissa, No I am sorry we do not have e-gift cards available. Unfortunately we do not have any gift cards available at this time as we are about to switch computer… 

    Are children allowed in your restaurant?

    This restaurant openly hates children

    How many bottles of wine am I allow to bring in for my reservation and how much is the corkage fee?

    They don't allow wines from outside, I was very disappointed when I knew it last time dining there. I will not go there any more due to this weird rule from this restaurant...

    Any vegan food I can order? If so what can I order? Need help please!

    Try Crispy Zucchini Cakes in the appetizers menu. Zucchini is a vegetable grown from the soil. For entrees, Venti Garden is the only one for you. If you happen to see the letter "V", it's vegan. When you choose what's for lunch or dinner, note… 

    If I am vegetarian and say I wanted to take the grilled chicken out of the penne dish would I be able to do so?

    You should choose other vegetarian dishes on the menu instead. Whether you make reservations for lunch or dinner, it's important to check out what's on the menu. Then ask your host if there's any vegetarian dish.

    What are all the tea selections you guys have?

    Iced tea

    Are they still open? Their website is closed...

    Yes always open

As a speakeasy enthusiast myself I definitely agree to the fact that it is "hidden" but also it does kinda give corporate vibes a little bit - maybe we can say they "gentrified" the speakeasy experience which is honestly so funny for Palo Alto. But anyways I don't think a classification should stop you from visiting it. The food is actually surprisingly really good. We came with a pescatarian and honestly while the offerings for snacks were a bit slim, every option was really good. I feel like this was the first time where I understood the price even the the quantity is no where close to be desired. One shrimp is like $6 and I was like whoah. Service is definitely more laid back and it's overall just like a more chill atmosphere. I'm fortunate to work nearby so I'll definitely visit this place a few times after work to blow off some steam... And the drinks! Yes they are good! They are also quite strong! Would come back again but also if you're conscious of budget then I'm not sure if you'll find the same value proposition.

It came out quickly, crisp, and as cold as it gets. I also tried a shrimp dish from the "Steamed" section, and it was delicious.

I bought three tickets for the First Friday event scheduled for 8/4, from 4-8pm with chef Stephanie Izard. When I arrive at 6pm, I was told at the check in table that many of the food items were already out, and that I could request a refund. They told me to go in anyway, and to check out what was available. I waited thirty minutes in one line to get a bite of salmon, which was delicious, except the advertised item was sea bass, which they had run out of. Then they ran out of the salmon too, before I could get a second bite. Next, I waited in line to meet Chef Stephanie, but she stepped away from her station when I got to the front. I also found out it was a shrimp based dish (and the veggies were also cooked with shrimp paste), to which I am allergic to. All of the other food items were out. We left the event still very hungry, and I asked to speak with someone about the refund. They took down my name, number and email and said someone would call me the next week. No one ever did. When I called back to follow up, I again was told they would call me. They again did not. I would expect more professionalism especially when I'm being charged $344 for one bite of food. So this is a warning to all who are contemplating a future First Friday with guest chefs - you better arrive at 4pm, or else there will be no food left. **updating to add to I was contacted and offered a full refund and an apology

The space is sleek, modern, and light-filled, making it a perfect spot to gather with friends for lunch or evening drinks and bites. Here is a breakdown of what we tried: Deviled Eggs: A must-order appetizer! Topped with tobiko/caviar, crispy shallots, and chives, they are incredibly creamy with a nice pop of texture and savoriness. Korean Fried Chicken Wings: Crispy, perfectly glazed in a sweet-and-spicy sauce, and topped with sesame seeds. Served with a cool dipping sauce that balances out the heat wonderfully. Tacos (Carnitas & Shrimp): Both taco options were served on warm, fresh corn tortillas topped with pickled red onions, cilantro, and served with a side of slaw and spicy salsa. High quality and super flavorful. Roasted Cauliflower: A gorgeous mixture of purple and white cauliflower tossed with a rich green pesto and drizzle of spicy red pepper sauce. A phenomenal vegetable side with a great kick. French Fries: Golden, crispy, well-seasoned, and served in a massive bowl--perfect for sharing across the entire table. Overall: Excellent presentation, generous portions for small plates, and a super welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're stopping by for creative craft cocktails or grabbing a bite with a group near campus, Horsefeather delivers. Highly recommended!

    I tried calling to share feedback, but they did not answer which I feel is important to note…read more We don't mind paying for a quality experience--especially for special occasions--which is why we chose Broma to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, we left regretting that decision. From the start, the experience felt unwelcoming when we were seated with our 3-year-old daughter. There was no single overtly disrespectful moment, but the overall tone and repeated small interactions made us feel like we were being judged for having a child with us. At one point, when our daughter accidentally dropped her fork while playing, the reaction we received came across as frustration, which added to that feeling. We understand not every restaurant is designed for young children, but Broma presents itself as a place for friends and family. Instead, we felt like we had to constantly manage and overcorrect normal toddler behavior, which created stress and took away from what should have been a special occasion. Because of that, we didn't feel comfortable raising concerns during the meal when the server checked in--we were more focused on getting through the experience without drawing additional attention. We were also offered an off-menu item without any mention of price. The menu we were given did not list the smash burger, so when I ordered a double, I had no context for the cost. The final price was a surprise, and we would have made a different decision with that information upfront. The food itself did not match the price point. The "smash burger" was not prepared in the style typically expected, and overall the meal felt underwhelming for the cost. Lastly, the billing was confusing. The paper receipt listed "gratuity," while the digital receipt labeled the same charge as a "service charge," making it unclear whether an additional tip was expected. That lack of clarity does not align with the level of transparency expected at this price point. We don't mind paying for a great experience, especially for meaningful occasions, but this visit did not meet that standard and ultimately left us regretting our choice to celebrate here.

The food, however, was not especially impressive. I would not rush back for the food alone. The seafood pasta was too acidic/sour and somewhat underwhelming, so it did not quite land for me and led to the stomach discomfort that lasted into the next day. The quality and presentation do not match the price tag. Also, "broma" means "joke/prank" in Spanish, so naturally I found myself wondering whether the two Black Iberian pigs on the wall were part of the joke. :) I would come back for the vibe, the bar area, and maybe to give the food another try.

The back does seem like a more classy environment and I'd choose this setting over a dive bar any day. The music at still OG that they were playing at the time wasn't my cup of tea, but I'm sure they mix it up from time to time. I would love to hear some oldies!

    Came here on a Saturday night for some pre-dinner drinks. I wasn't really sure how it works with…read morethe two businesses in one, but Alter Ego is the speakeasy in the back, with reservations recommended, and Still OG is the walk in bar in the front. The front was pretty full so we checked out Alter Ego first, but they were also full with nothing available until 11pm, so Still OG it was. You grab a spot yourself and then order at the bar. All cocktails are on tap, which actually ended up being great because I was between a few of them and the bartender was able to give me samples of them. We also ended up getting an order of the Chicken skewers, which were super tender and juicy. We were too late on our visit, but they do have a daily happy hour that includes some of the skewers and fries, as well as some drinks and shots. Service was super friendly and vibes and music were great! Cocktails, weren't the best since they were on tap, but still good enough! I would absolutely come back here for a drink and snack though!

    The service here was impeccable! From beginning to end we were treated like royalty. This was for…read moremy friends birthday of seven people, which was the perfect amount as we were able to hear each other, and the ambience was not loud at all. The decor is nice and modern and clean, and the food was simply amazing! We started off with the rare tuna tacos that were delicious as well as the salmon sashimi hors d'oeuvres that a friend and I shared. I ordered the miso cod which was rich, but not too rich over a bed of forbidden rice and spinach. I shared with my friend, the salmon that was equally as delicious. I could not choose which one I liked more. I do have to say kudos to Amanda our server was probably the most attentive and best server I've had in a very long time. I will definitely come back, Please note that this was on a Wednesday at 6 PM and there were probably 10 other people in the restaurant. It is not very large and pretty quiet. Parking was on the street or there are some public spots tucked away off the main street. I did not see any electric charging stations nearby, but there are some shaded spots from the trees in some of the parking areas. I look forward to coming again to this restaurant for any special occasion. Great for groups or romantic evening.

    We saw a review on Check Please a few years ago and always intended to try it. We had a wonder…read moreexperience. The restaurant is small and intimate. Service is excellent! We started with the beef carpaccio and it was tender and delicious. We also had the shrimp cigars and two old fashioned. For main course I had the miso cod and it was tender and very flavorful- the miso saturated the entire fish. Going forward I would have ordered a vegetable to pair with it. My husband ordered the duck and that was a bit disappointing. They hadn't rendered the fat properly so the skin was chewy rather than crisp. The duck was slightly on the tough side. On a very positive note, the wines are market price rather than the large markup you see in most restaurants. The chocolate cake was overly dense. Since it was a birthday celebration they also brought out little chocolate cream filled cups that were delicious. We will definitely return.

    Here is one of the coolest gems in Downtown San Jose. This…read moreis not your standard bar this is the place to get drinks made properly. Every ingredient is fresh not pre made unless you get the on tap cocktails. When you walk in it has an inviting atmosphere and the Kaylen who is the bartender is welcoming to both regulars and those who are new to the bar. I had a drink called the Macintosh which is so refreshing but not overly sweet which I enjoyed.

My husband and I had a baby free night out to celebrate my birthday and haberdasher did not disappoint. We went soon after opening so there was no line but I know they tend to have one later in the evening. We were greeted warmly at the door by the attendant who checked our ids. I was even wished a happy early birthday. When going into the bar, you walk down a staircase into a space that makes you forget you're in downtown San Jose with beautiful reds and burgundy decor. The staff is all smartly dressed; the bartender and bar back were both sweet and funny. I ordered a jack rose (my all time favorite), their seasonal watermelon waltz (this may be a new favorite for me, nice and refreshing) and one of their zero proof cocktails called a Mariposa which was soooo good as well. My husband ordered a couple old fashioned and a watermelon waltz for himself. We had an amazing time and look forward to coming back in the future.
