Cafe Fiore
Cafe Fiore is located in historic downtown Ventura, just blocks from the beach. Our comfortable booths have loose pillow seating which gives the restaurant a warm and delightful atmosphere.
Come sit by the warm fireplace or have a seat at our fully stocked bar and sip some of our most innovative cocktails or just some of our 40 martinis.
Our traditional Southern Italian cooking is made with old world recipes brought to you fresh from our own farmers market. We take pride in giving our utmost service to our diners and to make everyone feel like family.
If patio dining is what you are looking for, try our covered heated patio that feels like you are in a Tuscan villa or try our expanded patio and sit in our private cabanas and enjoy the fireplace and the spinning sounds of the hottest DJ's.
Look on our website for fun events, like our summer cigar dinners, wine tasting events and our annual picnic and movie in the park. We look forward to serving you!
Cheers and Bon Appeti

"We had such a great meal! Starting with the awesome wait staff and ending with a visit from the chef! (BTW, they are going to start having a "chef's table" where you have the chef decide on your meal, etc. ) Sounds great!
I LOVE the tortilini with sage butter. OMG! Amazing!"

"First time here. There was a live band and it was not too loud and they played good tunes. The cesar salad was pretty good sized. The lasagna was very good and hot. Service was prompt and friendly. I would definately come back!"

"The food and service was excellent! We arrive early and was seated right away. Great music! We were a party of 2, and didn't care for our table. we were behind the wine rack, and it blocked the view of music, but that was our choice. We could have waited for a better table. Overall I would reccommend Cafe Fiore!"

"Super super place. Food was good and the setting real inviting. Not sure it would be the place for a quiet romantic twosome but I didn't wander the full floor."
