Gino (chef and owner) makes his way around the room to greet everyone. Food is excellent, we tried a couple of the fresh (hand made pastas), pinsas, calamari and dessert.
Cocktails are well made and all the staff are extremely friendly!

It was one of the best pinsa I had in Toronto. I tried out their daily special and it was unbelievable!!
Also the service was spot on! We had Maggie serving us and she was great! 11/10 for her service!
Gino makes you feel like home. He comes to greet you, asks you about the food and makes you feel like he’s known you for years.
I would definitely recommend this place!

This is a neighborhood gem. The owners are charming and welcome every guest like their family. The food is excellent with a specialty of "pinsa" which is a Roman Focaccia that has been 4-day fermented. Other great traditional Italian dishes from a large menu. Decent wine list and nice glassware. I'll be back.
It was the most amazing pizza we’ve ever had…once you had Venga Cucina’s pizza , you don’t want any other …there pasta was delicious with homemade pasta and the atmosphere was awesome, Carlos the server was delightful and knew his food and wine …if your in the junction…stop by Venga Cucina , does not disappoint…
Must visit, especially during the holiday season! It’s so nicely decorated in there, perfect spot for holiday get togethers. My friends and I were strolling down Dundas street looking for a place to have dessert and we walked into Venga Cucina right after closing. We asked if they would take us for dessert and without hesitation they welcomed us in, lit some candles for us, and were so warm and kind to us. Our server Johnny and the entire staff were so sweet and funny! The desserts were so delicious! The owner invited us to come back and try their pizza and we will certainly be going back!
In the heart of The Junction, Venga left me in awe of its Con Alici pasta. The dish was a true delight, featuring perfectly cooked spaghettoni coated in a silky olive oil and garlic sauce, adorned with plump anchovy fillets. The flavors were a perfect harmony of briny, savory notes. The quality of the ingredients was exceptional, with fresh anchovies that elevated the dish to new heights. The pasta itself was cooked to perfection, striking the ideal balance between firmness and tenderness. The service was impeccable creating a memorable dining experience. If you're a fan of Italian cuisine or simply seeking a taste of authentic flavors, I highly recommend trying this pasta.
Wowwww!! Cannot wait to return!! What an incredible restaurant: very welcoming and cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, amazing food, great prices - you really cannot go wrong here. JESSE took care of us on the patio, gave us fantastic recommendations, took the time to chat with us, he was phenomenal. BIG THANK YOU, JESSE!! You really made our experience that much better. The owner/chef came by our table after dinner to see how our meal went (first time I have ever experienced this at a restaurant and it was so kind). The burrata salad and calamari were to die for. The mushroom truffle pizza was delicious and the eggplant rigatoni was good. The tiramisu was just melt in your mouth creamy goodness. Solid 5/5!!!
Excellent food and service. The pinsa was delicious. Started with two and appetizers and pasta but had to order one more! The crust was so light and crispy but had good chew too. Our server, Emir was very friendly and helpful. The owner came out on a busy evening to make sure everyone was happy. Will be back soon. Thanks
