Ventuno - Helsinki

Excellent service, excellent food, excellent price/quality ratio. Really stunned to see so mediocre reviews for this place.... we had the Ventuno Menu, which consisted of 8 different tasty dishes, and were complimented with over 3 ”kitchen greetings” -dishes (truffel meatballs, season tomatoes with stracciatella cheese, a vegan sorbet and a mint chocolate dessert)! Our waitress was extremely friendly and professional, and made sure we were OK the whole time and offered more servings when needed. The menu was €62, which I personally think is accordingly priced. The restaurants interior design was simple and cozy, but they could’ve had more 2 person tables, as we were seated right next to another couple. Nothing to complain really, highly recommended if looking for a fancier fine dining experience! Will visit again.

New acquaintance, frightening the size of the table. The boy wondered if he could fit. The food was good, the service was good. He didn’t want to get in, even though he was waiting. Everything elsemmes to our family except the fish. I remember the school almond.

Herkullista ruokaa, pääruoka oils, niin kun usein muuallakin se heikoin lenkki. Alvan Tartar loistava!

Not convincing given the high price. The concept is not conclusive, you should share, but if you choose, then the waiter proposes to take two of everything you want, because otherwise it is not enough. What does that have to share is that I have to get two at all? The food is not well designed. In a restaurant in this price class, I would expect the food to look beautiful. Some dishes were indeed beautiful, others only looked like the intern could try his best. Taste of dishes should be unique. For example, the carrot and the raw meat bowl tasted exactly as they were both overloaded with the exact same (Sty) herbal pester. We could have saved one of the courts that considered the value of the experience. The pricier the dishes get, the worse they are. The first two small courses (Ciccetti and Anti Pasti) are excellent and worth every cent of their money, but then the dishes reduce creativity and price increase. The Risotto was an insult, it looked lame and the taste replicated the appearance. The lobster/crater ravioli were delicious, but most were cold on the inside! The wine selection on the glass was terrible. As in Italy, the wines tasted a bottle of wine under 10 euros. But here they are solf at over 10 a glass. Our main waiter Mikko was competent and friendly. Other waiters were ignorant about food and drinks and even described the dishes simply wrong. Overall, we paid 250 euros for two people. This is just too expensive for what we have in terms of the quality of food and drinks and creativity of both. For the same price you can have a much better experience and Savoy or other restaurants in this price class. After you have a few more restaurants in the same price range since, this review has been dropped to a star. Among friends, Ventuno is a joke for if something expensive and bad...

Great place! The food with paired wines was 10/10. We where a table of 4 with gluten, pork and alcohol-free diets and they did not make a problem. The special gluten-free food where delicious.
