Ventura's has been on the Italian restaurant radar for so many years. I cannot imagine Utica without it.

Had delivery today. Had Hot Antipasti. It was very good. My friend had lasagna and said it was good. Thank you for making today feel like Sunday dinner.

We love Ventura’s! We’ve been going to the restaurant for years! The take out portions are big and prepared as if you were sitting in the restaurant. The tomato sauce is the only one I will eat. We always have a jar in the house.

Outstanding cuisine, impeccable service and delightfully chic ambiance in this lovely Utica neighborhood enclave of distinctive Italian food and atmosphere. Always the best! Their marinara is perfettamente delizioso! Why go to a chain restaurant when we are blessed with such an amazing local family establishment that is always on point? Molto bene, Ventura's!
