CAFE FIORE REVIEWS

Date night, fun night! Great ambience, wonderful food. Went there with my partner and sat at one of the booths near the bar. It wasn't too loud or crowded for a Sunday night, so it was perfect. We had the burrata salad as an appetizer. It was very delicious. One of the best I've had. For our entree, I had the pasta al forno, while my girl had the cioppino. They do make all their sauces and pasta in-house, and I gotta say, they knock it out of the park. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area. Let's not forget their waiting area with a warm hearth, which created a cozy and inviting space where you can share a glass of wine while you wait for a table.

Cafe Fiore is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Ventura. Whenever I have guests in town I ask them if they want to eat here! We went here for lunch and had some pasta. The complementary appetizer bread and sauce is very tasty. The food is delicious, they have a variety of drinks, and great desserts. They have plenty of space inside or outside for seating. Also they have a nice bar area with live music some nights. This is a go to place to eat in Ventura, you won’t regret it.

Cafe Fiore was such a pleasant surprise for me- lovely old world charm with amazing food; the gnocchi and pizza were delicious and the deserts were on point and everything was presented beautifully; highly recommend.

CAPRICCIO INC. REVIEWS

For starters we got the trio, brucetta, calamari and shrimp. Of course the bread! I ordered eggplant Parmesan and the chicken parmesan, it was so much food we took it to go. Our waitress Amber was sweet and attentive too.

Guys, if you like delicious Italian food, this is the place to visit. Come see for yourself and enjoy..it will make your food soul happy...God bless.

Quaint restaurant with live music (I went on a Friday evening). Windows provided an airy feel. Food and service were ok.

SPASSO CUCINA ITALIANA REVIEWS

I ate dinner there last week with friends and we shared four dishes: eggplant parmigiana, Agnolatti àl pesto, Bucatini Al Americana, and Fettuccine Al Gabarra. All four of them were delicious! So good that I cannot even pick a favorite. Took this photo from the entrance.

Great Italian place to enjoy while at the beach. Seward Ave next to the beach. We had spaghetti and desert and walked the beach. Staff were very polite and helpful. Calamari with lemon was excellent.

Had a great experience with this place, visited for dinner. Great food and service. Deserts and cocktails are outstanding. Must visit if you want to try some Italian cuisine in Ventura. You take a walk in the beach….later on…:-).
