About this restaurant

Innovative
Good for special occasions
Romantic

Ventuno is a classic Italian restaurant. Its cuisine is inspired by the Italian hillsides in Friuli. The restaurant's spacious dining areas are romantic and relaxed. Ventuno is a great place to share a meal with a loved one or enjoy an intimate dinner with family and friends. Begin the meal with a plate of pork and beef meatballs in tomato sugo, fried local calamari or chilled Nantucket oysters in Campari-grapefruit Italian ice. For the main course, try a house made pasta dish like the pappardelle al sugo d'agnello, spaghetti alla vongole or radiatori di farro. Ventuno also offers a variety of sides to enjoy with any meal, including duck-fat fried fingerling potatoes and heirloom polenta with parmigiano. End the meal with a sweet dessert like bomboloncini, butterscotch budino or crostata.

From the moment we were seated our experience was superb. Service incredible, food fit for a foodie, and great little spaces both downstairs and up. Highly recommend. Gluten free pasta was one of the best my husband has had in a long time.

Quaint Nantucket home gone restaurant with dining on multiple levels. We went with our 2 teens who can be a fickle bunch and they had something for each if us including my veggie 17 year old. By the time we left bar was packed and a line was formed waiting for tables. Highly recommended place in the town of some many notable restaurants.

Ventuno is our favorite Nantucket restaurant, hands down. The pasta with broccoli rabe and sausage was ridiculous, best I've ever had. Definitely include this place on your island visit.

There were 4 of us for dinner. My husband was disappointed in his meatball appetizer..marjoram or some spice he didn't like, the flam was great The bass was excellant, the steaks very good, Kale salad yummy, pasta dish with Barlett tomatoes did not have enough tomatoes, corner table in bar area too confining for the men in our party, the service was perfect 500$ price point was high.. not everyone was totally happy with their meal, which for 500$ one wish that wasn't so

The ambiance delightful. The food was good...service was aweful. Had to ask for water and bread. Two dinners were served the other two almost 10 min later. We had to ask , twice, for the other meals. Then when we were done, we sat with dirty plates for a long time. The staff was not that busy as we had an 8:45 res. and the night was winding down.

Ive been vacationing on Nantucket for over 20 years and there are those restaurants which I will always frequent during my stays - Ventuno is one of them. Both my parents are off the boat Italians so for me to say the food is good means the food is really good. The pasta dishes, meatballs - all of that is decadent and delicious. They also offer items on the menu for people that may want something other than pasta - I love their scallop dish. Out of this world. Visit, dine and hit the back bar afterwards. You wont regret it.
