Delicious and romantic date night! We were celebrating our last date as a couple before the birth of our first child. Everything was absolutely delicious, and they gave us a free dessert for the occasion!
Cucina Venti is a great neighborhood restaurant near the Mountain View theaters. It's great when you want a very good dinner before a movie and you don't want theater food. Flatbread with arugula and prosciutto was delish! We'll definitely come back to Cucina Venti.
What kept me from rating a 5 star was that the fish, for all who ordered, was over cooked-too bad because everything else was outstanding -we had a party of 6 and 3 ordered a fish entree-sea bass and halibut-it was almost too dry to enjoy. All of the other dishes were enjoyed and dessert/cappuccinos were excellent!! All dishes were presented nicely and were a feast for the eyes.
Food was excellent, service was very good
Gourmet food, quiet environment, good service but very expensive. We would do it again in a year for our next anniversary.
Excellent, fresh, food. Great service! We went before concert at Shoreline down the street and asked to be served fast. they certainly complied. Ordered full entrees, salad etc., had everything within 15 minutes. Fresh fish, good salads, cant say enough....will be back!
Great food great service. We liked everything including the desert
My husband and I had reservations prior to a concert at Shoreline. Our server was great. Food was fantastic. Cocktails were refreshing. We will definitely be back.
Bread is $$
Nice food, quite ambience, helpful severs and front desk
Our waiter had a thick italian accent. He was very hurried, pushy, and he didnt listen when we ordered. We ended up with the wrong appetizer, but ate it without saying anything.
A great find, family friendly, great food, and ambiance.
When we go to a concert at Shoreline, we love to eat here. Food is excellent, this time we had lamb chops and saffron sea bass. CV did not disappoint! However, when it's packed with diners inside and on the patio, there are ALWAYS lines at the bathrooms. There are two total, but each has ONLY one toilet. I felt so sorry for the diners whose table is closest to the line of anxious guests. Somehow VC must enlarge their restrooms! Otherwise, food was excellent, timely, with great service.
Overall great experience except the noise and discombobulated table arrangement the annoyed us enough to move inside
Great waiter though and great food
The wait service was very professional. The ambience was tasteful. The environment was quiet. Most importantly, the food was delicious. My filet had a wood-fired tasting char on the outside and medium-rare on the inside as I ordered. My wife's short ribs were excellent tasting, although slightly on the fatty side, and the polenta accompanying it was good. Our dinner companions enjoyed their seafood paella and saffron sea bass. For dessert, we shared Affogato, which was clearly made with real espresso and was an excellent finish. We lingered for a long time afterward talking and were never made to feel like we had to leave. They easily accommodated our guide dog. Reservations were easy to come by , probably because it is not located in the downtown area of Mountain View. The only drawback is that the prices are a bit steep, but with the experience we had that's not a big drawback.
Not memorable, unfortunately the bar tender wasn't available during the lunch hour.
We have come to Cucina Venti for years and it seems to get better as time goes by. They have recently really upped their game in the food presentation. Their flavors and good sized portions are awesome. They serve really tasty food. We have never had a bad dish and they happily adapt dishes to your dietary needs or preferences. Service excellent. The ambience is great in the interior - lush and comfortable. Strip-mall, parking lot-facing "improvised" seating outdoors, so not really a feature. This place is arranged so larger groups can be seated together. They serve quickly so if you have to run to the movie theatres nearby, no problem. Arrive at 5:30pm and still make the 7pm show.
Excellent Italian restaurant. The food is always good. Pasta is great. Love the bread. Unpreposessing location in a strip mall but cute inside.
I think our waiters name was Luke and he was fantastic. He was great at his job...just friendly enough, but not disruptive; no mistakes, brought us everything in a timely manner. Remembered all the orders without writing them down. Overall excellent. We ordered pasta dishes and they were incredible. The wine was excellent, if a bit pricey.
Made my stomach hurt/made me feel ill for the rest of the afternoon. The food itself was decent but not worth the issues afterward.
This is our go-to restaurant before the movies, but also a nice elegant but unstuffy place for a dinner date. The food is always delicious and it has a happy vibe while still being sufficiently quiet to carry on a conversation.
Food was delicious!! If you have not been, you need to go!!
I wasn’t expecting much although the menu spoke to me. We just wanted to grab a quick bite before a movie at the Mountain View cinemark. It worked perfectly Re: proximity. But the traffic at this time of day, & with a show at Shoreline, was horrendous. Would return if in the area again. Good service!
The manager opened the wine and visited . The wine was very good
The food and ambiance were fantastic. This was our first time here. We will be back.
Menu was delightful. Fish tasted fishy. Carpaccio salad a bit salty. Delicious seafood linguine pasta (spicy). Great ambiance. Great service.
Overpriced food with a staff clearly overwhelmed. Mushroom ravioli for $30? And dime store bread.
The service was wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable & professional.
The wine prices were the only thing that stopped you from a 5 star. They are an Outrage!
Santa Marg. Pinot Grigio at that price, as soon as I saw that I knew any decent wine would be beyond redic!
Arturo, our server was great and very attentive. Having a great server can make or break a great experience and Arturo did not disappoint.
We had a wonderful time with a group of 6 for a mid-week lunch. The roasted octopus appetizer was simple and delicious! We will definitely return!
It is an awesome place to enjoy some food before a concert at Shoreline and then walk to the venue
loved the food and wine selection. It was nice and quite on Saturday evening without any loud groups so ideal for date night.
They’ve upped their food game since we were here a few years ago. All the apps and entrees were top notch. But the service was spotty. We didn’t get plates for our appetizers and ate the burrata and calamari off the platter. We would have loved to stay for coffee and dessert but our server vanished and eventually I had to go to the hostess to get our check so we could move in to our next event. A little more attention to details and this place would be awesome. I love the warm, elegant space they’ve created in an unassuming strip mall.
Cucina Venti is one of our “go to” restaurants in Mountain View. The food is always good and the service is friendly and attentive.
We felt the prices were too high for what you got. The procuitto flatbread was really good though. The cheese plate was terrible, bad selection of cheeses;-(
Father’s Day
Friendly service. Good food quality. We sat outside as the indoor area seemed a bit loud. But it was not too bad. If outdoor seating was not available we would have been able to handle the indoor noise easily. It is pricy but comparable to similar restaurants in the Bay Area.
Loved the salmon ciabatta sandwich! Excellent, would recommend it.
My team said that the dinner was amazing. They very much appreciated the short distance from the Googleplex to the restaurant, the outside seating opportunity, the meal, service, a real nice place to go.
I've been to Cucina Venti several times, at night and during the day. I particularly enjoy having lunch outside on their pretty patio - the inside is a little dark for daytime to my taste. The food is very good and the service excellent. Excellent choice to dine/have lunch before or after a movie!
