We waited 25 minutes before seeing our server. Order placed and salads came out quickly but then nearly an hour before entrees came out. The server kept saying "sorry not my fault they are busy inside" manager never came over no courtesy. Food was 7/10, salad and pasta good, steak special a poor piece of meat drowning in sauce. Far too many better options in the area for this nonsense. Have eaten here many times over the years never again.

The inside of the restaurant isn't that big, however, they sometimes have some chairs available outside when it's nice weather so can grab a quick bite and enjoy it outside. It's byob which lets you enjoy a nice glass of wine with your pasta or pizza.

Food: My wife had the vodka with prosciutto and peas, and I went for the chicken vodka with burrata, which is easily one of the best chicken vodkas I've ever had. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. Each dish felt carefully crafted, satisfying both comfort and quality. Service: All of the servers were very nice and attentive, though it can get a little slow during busy times. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience feel personal and hospitable. Aesthetic: There's a decent amount of seating inside, split between two sides, with lovely wall décor and soft mood lighting. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing dinner.

Felt like we had to have one of their "award winning" caesar salads since they boast it on the menu. It was definitely sizable so order to share. We enjoyed it. Not sure it would go in the books but it was really nice. Could have used some more croutons but loved the fresh shaved parm. The French onion soup is comforting and the pappardelle bolognese was such a treat! And because dessert goes to a separate stomach, we found room for a slice of the key lime pie which was absolutely worth every calorie! Ventura's offshore location is definitely larger and comfier than the beach location. The tables are roomier and the parking is easy. Though it can get a bit noisy but we asked to be seated away from the bar area which kept the noise level comfortable enough for conversation. The service is friendly and the portions are awesome!

Euphoric, even. This place serves up that ziti at near the surface temperature of the sun, in portion sizes that resemble the volume of lake superior, and all cheesed up to the point I would consider that the owner was at one point wronged by a lactose intolerant person. The service is disturbingly excellent. I am convinced that the waitress is in fact an android. Her kindness is off putting to me, as I typically prefer when waitstaff call me a "classless fool" or a "trifling reprobate" or even a "slimy little goo boy birthed from the loins of Ba'al himself" but perhaps I can adapt.

I did get the tomato pie...and also 2 6-inch sandwiches, a couple bags of chips, and two slices of cake. The tomato pie was outstanding and our new local favorite. Sandwiches are fresh and even at 6 inches, large enough to share--I chose the Nonna's Meatball sandwich and the Naples Vegetarian sandwich and my husband and I split both and we were stuffed. We haven't had the slices of cake yet, but my prior experience tells me they'll be lovely. The store is clean and spacious. Market goods are presented in an organized manner. These folks know food and service. They catered my wedding in September of 2023, and we are so happy and honored to continue to support Il Porcellino. So great to have an excellent Italian market so close to home.
