I loved the atmosphere and the service. Very well priced and excellent food. I had the Chicken Parmesan and then enhanced my house salad to a ceasar salad for only $4.00. The Creme Brulee for dessert was warm and creamy. I will definitely be back!

Great brunch dishes. The service was a little slow and the outdoor seating had no shade, so I don't rate those as high.

If you love authentic Italian food, it's here! This is a small quaint restaurant. You might call ahead for reservations. Seating both outside and indoors. Let's start with a friendly knowledgeable server, Annette. A reasonable wine list with affordable prices. For my main dish I selected Ravioli. Sounds boring, but it wasn't. The marinara sauce had a great spice and flavorful. Quite filling. Again, all dishes are reasonably priced. I will definitely be coming back!!

Excellent dinner. Service exceptional. Atmosphere very quiet, very nice.

The preparation and delivery of food was no more than 10 minutes.

Really good flavors. Only complaint was that the minestrone i had at the end of the night had been around long enough that the pasta was soggy, but all other textures and flavors were delightful and the seafood in my scampi was generous and very well prepared. Update: been back several times as it's now a regular date spot for my boyfriend and I. Everything has been delicious, up to and including salads (try the homemade Italian dressing) and soups (cream-of-anything is always really delicious here, and subsequent iterations of the minestrone have all been delicious). They're very good at seafood preparation, so even though the pasta is delicious don't overlook the salmon or other dishes. Lovely drinks selection. Great service. Very friendly.

The prices are a bit high but you get what you pay for. The service is absolutely amazing and their team members are super nice and professional. Great place for a date night. You can't go wrong with the gnocchi or lamb shank.

We've been coming here for weekend brunch and occasional dinners for quite some time and the food and service is always top notch! Jose and Ruby are so attentive as are all the helpers in the restaurant.

Had our anniversary dinner here. We ordered a dish off-menu..... veal saltimbocca. It was absolutely delicious!!!! Friendly staff, great food! 5 stars!

It was a very romantic, pleasant experience. The service was amazing and the food was so delicious. And of course the gentleman I was with was the best part.

A beautiful restaurant nicely, decorated delicious food and very helpful friendly staff a real gem of a restaurant in the North Bay

Delicious food, incredible service! We dined al fresco on a chilly Saturday night, but the heat lamps kept us warm. Both of the pasta dishes were tasty and flavorful. I ordered the chicken pesto dish but without the chicken, so just the pasta portion. The server thoughtfully asked if I would like the chef to add more vegetables to the pasta to make it a more complete meal. This was much appreciated because most places will simply remove the protein, which is the main part of the entrée, and charge the full amount for the dish. The entire staff was so attentive and kind. We really loved the food and experience! Thank you for being so considerate and accommodating to a vegetarian!

I haven’t even left the restaurant yet and I’m coming here to say this is five stars across the board! I ordered a butternut squash soup, cappuccino, and an Italian soda. They also give you a side of bread with a tomato spread. The service was some of the best I’ve ever gotten in a restaurant and the servers were so friendly and accommodating. When I asked if the Italian soda was creamy she offered to put cream in it, just for me. I couldn’t believe the quality of each dish was so consistent, and by consistent I mean DELICIOUS. Will be returning!

Drove by this place and decided to stop. They have bottomless mimosas! The corned beef hash was delicious. My husband loved his chorizo omlette. Our waiter was very attentive. The rest of the staff checked on our table too. Team work! We'll be back!

Took my grandma here for dinner and we both had a good dining experience. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. All of the front tables were taken so we sat in the back room which was not as enjoyable as the ambience of the front room, but still fine.

The atmosphere was welcoming, the staff was very pleasant, the food was delicious and the portions were large. Only one of the 5 of us finished the meal brought out. We were all pleased with what we ordered AND as a salad lover, ....TRY THEIR SOUP!! Mmmmm!! I am not much of a soup lover but the flavors were excellent! :-) Highly recommend!

Amazing Italian restaurant. The service was excellent. I had chicken with past (which had a fancy name that I forgot) and it was awesome. We also had a Californian wine, 4 stars. The mood inside is cozy, and I would call it romantic. I definitely recommend this place.

I love this place! Their dinner and brunch/lunch menus are both amazing and everything is delicious. The service is also very good every time I come here. I live in Sacramento and still make sure to come here every time I visit.

Upon entering the atmosphere was elegamt and friendly. The staff paid particular attention to the 4 year old with us and brought her lemonade before we even started ordering. We got both tortellini dishes(vegetarian style) oh my gosh. The sauce and pasta together just melt in your mouth. The side was he spinach salad and caprese salad. I've never had caprese presented in such an all out fashion. And the over all flavor just compelled me to finish it all. I definitely will be back and recommend anyone who is in the area to try this place out.

Benicia is a wonderful town and Venticellos adds to the experience with friendly staff, good food, reasonable prices. Street parking is easy as is access to the restaurant.

Dishes very tasteful and the Tiramisu was Best I ever had

What a wonderful place for good old fashioned Italian food. They were able to accommodate a party of 9 and service was perfect. So good to have a go-to when all you need is a pasta fix. And some good meal and lamb.

We love to sit outside Venticellos, drink a cappacino and eat brunch. The shrimp omelette is to die for!! Everything lve eaten there has been excellent and the staff are so nice! Go there!

Beautiful setting in a quiet little city . Beautiful Downtown area ‼️

Very nice place. We ordered pretty fast, we got our entrees in 20 minutes, our main dishes arrived in another 40 minutes. I received a bland alfredo pasta that was worse than canned alfredo sauce. Place was empty, food took long and wasn't great, awesome costumer service either way.

Lovely! Delicious bread, small loaf, though... "Bottomless" Mimosa and Delicious omelets.

What makes this place is the customer service. These guys get what it means to take care of guests. Food is good but needs more vegan/vegetarian options. Also more music since the playlist is like six songs and you can tell after 30 minutes.

Good Italian restaurant. Indoor and outdoor dining, so whatever you are comfortable with. It is on the nicer side but I saw people wearing casual. Steak, seafood, chicken and pasta. The food was upscale and pricing was $20-40 a plate depending on your order. I will return next time I want Italian food.

Very nice place to dine if around the benecia area and don't mind going out of your way to enjoy good Italian cooking. The place is quaint with the restaurant resembling an old Victorian home. The staff are way friendly and welcoming. The food is done just right.

Pork chop special and corn chowder soup was definitely worth stalking them to find out when they will be making either special menu item again! Service left much to be desired but that seems the norm these days with worker shortages. Best to just be patient and enjoy the amazing food!

Very nice spot tucked along the main strip in Benicia. Very friendly service with a small but cozy atmosphere. I ended up asking the waitress for a recommendation and went with their calamari plate selection. Can't say it was my favorite dish as I thought it was a bit bland. However they do have a ton of other items that sounded really good. Just an unlucky draw this go round.

Friendly service and prices comparable to surrounding area. Several vegetarian options. Food quality was okay, with the recipes feeling a little dated, but ambiance and service made up for it

The food was great! I loved the dill pasta. The only complaint was not at the fault of the business.

This place was really good They had very large servings which was a pretty surprising There is only one waitress so certain parts of service did take a little while but she was very nice In the calamari was very different than I've ever had before but was really good with their sauce

Great place in the heart of town. I've been there many times. Outstanding service. Everyone in our party of 5 loved their food. 2 have gluten allergies/ Celiac disease and they're very accommodating.

Good shell fish pasta...could have used a little more portion of shell fish tho. House salad not bad...but dont go here to try to get away cheap...average ontray price is 21.50 and 1 little scoop of vanilla ice cream 7.00 and no mixed drinks here(cocktails)no. Beer and wine only. Waiter was good

The atmosphere was great, the staff extremely attentive and friendly, but I found the food (I had minestrone soup and the chef's special chicken pasta of the day) was very...well...bland...and without a lot of flavor. It was if it had been made for someone on a sodium-and spice-restricted diet. It was good, don't get me wrong, but there was something just...missing from the flavors. I'd definitely try again... maybe it was just an off night.

Inexpensive, hit and miss with the food. Calamari app for example, was amazing. However several other dishes were average. Our meal was very long. I don't mind a long dinner with friends, but other is our party we're annoyed.

Food was alright. Service a little slow for being slow.

They got our drinks and the kids food quickly but their main entrees didn't come for another 25-30 minutes afterwards and by that point our kids were already done eating. The sauce on The sauces were good but the meat, especially the chicken was kind of rubbery

We visited Venticello’s on September 18th and sat outside with friends. While the atmosphere was very nice, the service left a bit to be desired. We had to repeatedly ask for bread and the accompanying sauce, which came out slowly and not together. Since there were four of us, it would have been more considerate to provide two sauce bowls, as the portions were quite small. I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo, which I found bland and lacking flavor, though my friends enjoyed their dishes more. The part that really stood out (in a not-so-great way) was when the server brought the pepper grinder tucked under her arm, which felt unhygienic and unappetizing. People naturally sweat under their arms, and handling serving tools that way isn’t appropriate in a dining setting. We politely requested regular pepper shakers instead. Despite the service hiccups, the outdoor setting was lovely, and I’d be willing to return to try a different dish—hopefully with a smoother experience next time.
