It was OK. Let’s start the positive first – great service. One of the best services on the island. The place is ok, nothing special. Drinks was ok,again nothing special. Great wine list. Appetizers were great , probably the best thing that we tried. I will recommend the meatballs- they were definitely delicious. The last time when I was here was 8 years ago. I was dreaming about the steak … unfortunately, it wasn’t as i remember it. Steak tasted good, but the side was terrible. We tried a bunch of different dishes overall, which was ok. When was our time to order desserts, They were out of everything except donuts… such a disappointment.

I had a great experience here with myself and 3 others. The food was excellent, although the service was quite slow. We went at a normal dinner hour and the salad appetizers took over 30 minutes to arrive. We saw other tables get their main courses before appetizers and the servers had to bring the food to the back until the appetizers were served. Once we got the food, it was delicious. Our server was very sweet and compassionate and we could tell it was not her fault. In the end, the restaurant made it right with us. If I’m back in the area, I will definitely return.

We absolutely love Ventuno! The vibe and service are always top-notch. Service could not be more friendly and helpful.

We are island homeowners and loyal customers since the place opened (and 21 Federal before it), but our recent frustration with Ventuno has been a surprising downturn in service the past 2 seasons – beyond what has happened island-wide.

This is a place for drinks, not food. Every drink I ordered was delicious and interesting in a good way.

Great fresh food and awesome drinks. Can’t say enough about this place…. A must try if you like Italian when on Nantucket. The meatballs are out of this works and if you are a fan of Arancini’s you will be impressed.

I started with the rabbit pasta and it was fantastic, I would place it in my top 3 pasta dishes ever! My main course was a very tender and jucie lamb chops with green ( sorry it looked so good I forgot to take a picture). For dessert I had pistachio cake with pistachio gellato, the cake had and interesting flavor that paired nicely withe raspberries and gellato. I also had a few drinks that were equally strong and delicious. Friendly and pleasant service too!

Great experience. If Sylvester Stallone enjoys the food… you know it’s gotta be good Italian.
