Reviews for SPASSO Cucina Italiana in Ventura, CA
I made reservations for my anniversary and was disappointed to say the least. You?re seated a little too close to your... neighbors, which is a little too intimate for my liking. The complimentary bread was cold, and was paired with balsamicvinaigrette mixed with olive oil. Which was heavy on the balsamic vinaigrette. The calamari was okay, but my entrée wasdisappointing. The food lacked flavor. I had such high hopes for this place but I will not be returning. Read more
It was pretty good. I was there with a large bachelorette party. The food was mostly good. Almost everyone got pasta that looked... delicious. Except for me, I ordered the parmigiano thinking it would be a little more food than it was. It tasted very good butit was more of a glorified meat and cheese plate. It was kind of pricey for a meal, I'd get it as more of an appetizer than ameal. The next time I go I'd definitely get a pasta. More bang for my buck and all my friends were super pleased with theirpastas. The service felt like it took a very long time, which I expected for the food coming out. But it also took a very longtime to get our checks, then to get them to take our cards, then to get our cards back. I kept forgetting why we hadn't leftyet, because it felt like we were just hanging out but then I remembered we were waiting to pay. But I'd still say it is a goodplace to eat and it's nice that it's right on the beach. I'd recommend it, just order what you know because I tried to beadventurous and ended up wanting pasta anyway.

I celebrated my 70th birthday in October. I was looking for Cachio e Pepe (not pictured) and found it at Spasso. It was... delicious. There was 6 of us. We all got something different. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful and delicious food. We got therejust after opening at 4:30 pm. The beach setting was special. The staff was attentive but not hovering. I don't live in VenturaCounty any more. Was visiting family. Texas is my home state. Most at the table do live in Ventura County or nearby. They planon many trips to Spasso. Thank you for a memorable birthday! Read more

Delicious food. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce tasty. The Tiramisu was the best we have ever had, thanks to it... all being made in house, including homemade ladyfingers. A must return place. Read more
Phenomenal. Romantic Italian restaurant by the sea with very good food and great service. We showed up 20 minutes before they... closed. They sat us, took our order, were friendly and didn't make us feel rushed. Also the food was amazing. Read more
When we arrived for a short visit to Ventura, we had already booked a restaurant to celebrate my birthday in Santa Barbara. Then... we saw a local Italian restaurant literally across the street. After looking at the menu, we canceled our Santa Barbarareservation and made the one for Spasso Cucina. We are so glad we did. The food was excellent. The wine list, while small, hadseveral fine selections. Then dessert. What a great evening! We will come back?again and again. Read more
