Our first dining experience at Cucina was superb. The dining room is sophisticated and feels intimate. There is also an outdoor patio that was hosting a very large party but no noise from this event entered the dining room. The entrees of scallops and salmon were beautifully plated and among the best we have had in any previous restaurant, and we have been in some of the best. The apple & greens salad was plentiful with lovely textures and tastes. Service was extremely attentive but not intrusive. We felt welcomed. Cocktails were well made. We fortunately were seated on a banquette on the back side of the dining room, as upon entering the restaurant the volume of music was much too high. It was minimized due to our location. This is our only complaint. We'll definitely spread the word about this wonderful dining venue.

We are pleased to dine at Cucina Venti. We wanted to dine at a place near Shoreline so we can make it on time at the Concert. Our server Aaron was great as he made sure they presented our meal on time. Great service! Nice touch on the Birthday cake for our child! We ordered Truffle Risotto, Braised Short ribs and Lamb chops and all were amazing! The restaurant is well put together. The staff are all nicely dressed and friendly. We will definitely come back! It is certainly a must place to dine if you're visiting Mountain View!

If you’re looking for a decent meal close to the Shoreline Amphitheater, then this restaurant could work. Comments I read about it being expensive were spot on. Lamb Chops $48, Halibut $47, Black truffle shavings $35, Venti Manhattan $38, glasses of wine ~$28+. Then when we went to pay for two people, they have already added the tip. Is that common for Mountain View restaurants or just this restaurant? It’s common for South Beach, but in this area? Beyond the price, atmosphere is pretty nice, space between tables is generous, food is served at the right temperatures and portions are proper - not too big nor small. Would we go back? It’s a toss up. But again the short distance to Shoreline is definitely a plus. And there is parking across the street for free after 5 so you could walk to the venue instead of driving if desired and a Tesla charger across the street also a plus.

This is our go-to restaurant for all special occasions in our family. We’ve yet had a bad meal or poor service over the years. The service is excellent always. They pay close attention to your needs so they know when you need your sparkling water poured or remove the dishes & silverware in anticipation of dessert. The food is fresh & well prepared and very consistent. We’ll be back for the next BD’s, anniversary, family get-together, etc…

Rated experience high but the meal was extremely expensive and portions were small. Cocktail ($24-28)and mocktails ($16) prices are by far the highest I have seen ANYWHERE! Lastly, 20% tip added to any size party….AND TAX charged for the tip. Restaurant is calculating tax incorrectly and making extra money on each table. When items are so expensive, the overcharge adds up quickly for extra revenue for the restaurant. They really need to correct this! Combine the tax issue, automatic gratuity and outrageous prices and you can’t help but feel taken advantage of. I will attach support pictures if I am able.

First time eating here and will definitely return again. This is an excellent place for date nights or girls night. The halibut filet, fettuccine with duck confit, calamari, and sizzling prawns were all very great options. The experience was 5/5 with the minor exceptions that our water glasses were not filled as often as we would’ve liked, we were told to keep our used silverware instead of wait staff replacing them, and an automatic 20% gratuity was added when presented the bill. Didn’t California just pass a transparency law where auto gratuity was banned? If we are dropping $350 for 2, the expectation should be for wait staff to anticipate our needs without asking. Coming from someone with years of fine dining experience at an award winning restaurant establishment…

Thank you so much Marissa for the fabulous review and feedback. We will certainly address the water and silverware with the bussing staff. We do hope that you dine again soon at our establishment.

Our first time back in a couple of years and things have slipped a bit. 2 of 3 items that we had could have been better - calamari appetizer was overcooked and the fettucini duck confit wasn't great. Service as always was exemplary. One new wrinkle that I found irritating was the gratuity was included. This fact was very clearly indicated on the bill but the actual math portion was unclear as the tip and total were listed along with a line for additional tip - I suspect some diners will be double tipping as the natural tendency is to sum the numbers.

After many enjoyable visits several years ago, we were disappointed. Our waiter was courteous and prompt, but restaurant policies were surprising. We were given only one small piece (2” cube) of focaccia, had to ask for oil and balsamic, no cheese was offered for our pasta dishes, no salt and pepper on the table. Wine prices were extremely high, at least $24/glass or $100/bottle. We asked to split the bill with our friends, but both charges were sent to our account.
