What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Ventottoposti is lauded for its exceptional seafood and pasta dishes, with unique creations like white boar ragu receiving high praise. Diners appreciate the cozy and welcoming atmosphere, often finding it a hidden gem off the beaten path. However, a few reviews mention inconsistencies in service that have impacted the overall dining experience.
"Found this place tucked away in an alley away from the main street. The seafood linguine (not on their menu that day but ordered it through the waitress) was so tasty with fresh seafood and pasta was al-dente. One of the best pasta we’ve had throughout our Italy trip so far. The white boar ragu was very enjoyable too. Oysters were also fresh. Highly recommend venturing beyond the main street to look for this place."

"I enjoyed lunch here. Staff was friendly. Unfortunately as I wanted to try something new, I technically can’t give it an accurate review as I’ve not had lamb before. But the dish was flavorful and the portion good. Loved the raspberry coulis and the sweet potato crème had coarse salt and herbs a good combination with the meat"

"We found this place based on the google reviews and we were not disappointed! Very nice and welcoming atmosphere, we even got some welcome drink which we really appreciated. The food was fantastic and our waitress was also really nice."
