Ventura's Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar

Friendly service great food! Terrific Pizza variety. The Eggplant Parm is a perfect portion with one of the best Red sauces I have had north or south. I am born and raised in NJ. I know Italian food.

AMAZING! Brand new owners who are down to earth and so accommodating. The food is really good, the best pizza in Florida. Real authentic Italian dishes. Great atmosphere and great service. I’m so happy that we have this addition to longboat key. It’s a must visit!! I’ve been three times this week and I can easily see it becoming my favorite restaurant on the island.

Very happy that we have new ownership at this space! I always loved the food & it’s even better now. I know they are trying to purchase from local sources & their pizza crust is the real deal - homemade!

Excellent pizza and some good looking dishes passed our way . The menu looks great and it is terrific pizza… perfect dough and perfect cheese sauce ratio . Best pizza I’ve had in Florida and I’ve been here for over 35 years . Friendly owners have just opened in the last few weeks so ... you will need to be patient as it was very busy and they are still settling in with staffing so it’s a tad slow . The food was excellent!! We will be back to try more dishes and I hope others will to! Let’s keep this place on the island!
