Venticello’s

What’s more romantic than a little trip to Italy without leaving Benicia? When owner/chef Romero opened Venticello’s Ristorante Italiano 19 years ago, he made sure it looked just like one of the restaurants off the Piazza del Duomo, Florence. And indeed it does. Breathe in the aromas of Italy, select one of Venticello’s amazing dishes, add wine and there you are, Italy!

Venticello’s serves homemade pasta dishes, superb Italian specialties like saltimbocca, scampi classico, and frutti di mare, and delightful dessert creations including tiramisu, crème brulee, and a delightfully decadent chocolate soufflé.
