Great Service. Very nice atmosphere. Try the Bolognese Sauce and the hot antipasto, it was amazing. Kudos to Terry the bartender, great job and a nice person.

Let me start off with the service, we had Cat as our waitress...AMAZING..friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The guys that brought over the food just as awesome and helpful. The restaurant has been open for three years. One of the owners came over to the table, Richie, introduced himself, spoke with us for a while. What a great personality!! I LOVE when the owners or chefs do that, it makes your experience so personal. Now onto the ambience, I'm saving the best for last, the food..ok back to the ambience, the singer they had there on a Friday night was simply perfection. He had an amazing voice and the volume was not obnoxious, I could still talk to my husband and hear him!! Let's now talk food, baked clams were delicious and full of flavor. I had the filet of sole it was like butter!!! Hubby had linguine with all the shell fish, he said it was delicious. The volume of food was more than enough and the prices were so very reasonable for this economy. We can't wait to bring our whole family back. Here are some pictures, we ate the clams to quick!! This is a 10 star place for me. Thank you Richie for making it special by coming over to, not only say hello, but goodbye too. Good luck.

I have gone and eaten in the restaurant a few times over the last two months and even went there for a Super Bowl party. Eating in was very good and I couldn't complain. Last night I was extremely disappointed because myself and my wife decided for the first time to have a takeout meal and we ordered to be picked up. I had the Chicken Parm Hero which was $14 which I was really looking forward to and it had very little chicken, was very thin, tiny bit chewy, hardly any mozzarella. And I was forced to tear away over 1/3 of the bread just to be able to taste the chicken. My wife, who went to pick the order up, was told 15 minutes, she got there in 20 minutes and because it was delayed she decided she would have a glass of wine at the bar, being it was happy hour, and wine was 5$ a glass, and she would enjoy the glass of wine while she was waiting. The bartender charged her $12 for the glass of wine, and when she asked, why are you charging me $12? When it's happy hour and wine is five dollars a glass? His reply was, because you're ordering a takeout order! I would think, even if you were ordering a takeout order, it is happy hour and you're sitting at the bar waiting for a delayed order, drinks are five dollars, but either way it was a little disappointing. we still have about $150 worth of gift cards that we got from Christmas. Obviously will have to use them up. We'll see after that.

We have ordered from here a couple times. Solid prototypical NYC pizza. Great Italian food. I love their sauce. Sometimes, tomato sauce is too acidy for me, but not this one, It's on the sweeter side. Very good deals/prices.

The food was good here. Had fried calamari as an appetizer & my main course was chicken parmigiana with pasta. Our server Christian was excellent & made sure we had drinks. He's very friendly & made our dining experience wonderful. The restaurant was very nicely decorated & you can dress down here, too.

My wife and I frequent Trattoria Vento.We decided it would be the perfect place to celebrate her 65th birthday. We met with Melissa-who we adore-and made the reservation. She listened to what we would like to do and said, "No problem!"We were 12 persons at our dinner party.From the moment the garlic knots, bread and capanatta were served through coffee and dessert, everyone kept saying how delicious everything was and how sizeable the portions were and that the service and attentiveness of the staff was amazing.Thank you Melissa for a 5 star dining experience, and please extend our thanks to the staff, chef, and Kitchen staff.Whether you want to have a dinner party, or an intimate dinner for two, we recommend highly Trattoria Vento!Dietary restrictions: Ventos offers gluten free and whole wheat pastas.Parking: There is a parking lot in the rear of the restaurant and there's also a back entrance.

A friend and I ordered from the 3 course dinner menu for $27.99 each and we were both reasonably well pleased with the food quality, quantity, and price. We would each go back again and recommend it to others. I rarely give 5 stars for any place. Call it a 4 1/2.
