I have only been here once but we immediately started talking about coming back in the summer even before we tasted the food. Being that it was February and actually a little chilly at the beach that day, we sat inside near the kitchen but that did not mean that we were ignored. The waitstaff were all very attentive and didn't forget about us. The food was delicious. The portion sizes are generous and good for sharing. At the end of the meal, we even got pizelle cookies to take home. The decor is minimal and the uniforms are simple. However, it's obvious that they put all the love and attention into their food and customer service. I will be back!
A hidden gem in Ventura that has tasty, authentic Italian food! My husband and I both enjoyed the pasta we got served in homemade bread bowls: carbonara and chicken alla vodka. They also have a delicious breakfast too! Highly recommend if you like Italian food.
Immigrant Son Cafe in Ventura is a must-visit! The bacon here is absolutely unreal—seriously, don't miss it. We also loved the tasty holiday coffee drinks. Best of all, it’s dog-friendly, so we could bring our pup along. Big thanks to our server, Alvaro, for the excellent service!
I am glad we had breakfast here to set-off our week-long road trip up North. My mom ordered the pancakes with bananas, the pancakes were huge so she shared some with me. Son had the Giovanni omelette, I tried a piece and it was flavorful. My brother and sister both ordered tallow fried chicken and waffles each. The fried chicken and seasoned well and the waffles were delicious. Sis-in-law had the burrata scrambled eggs and I had the bacon flight. Food was good all around, we had enough to share and taste each other’s orders. Service was courteous and efficient. We opted for outside seating on a gorgeous and crisp October morning. Paid street parking, free parking a few blocks down is also available. There was only one restroom and it was gender neutral.
Truly a 10/10 experience! Great outdoor seating, the staff is very sweet and inviting, and the food was delicious and so filling. The espresso martini is a must try.
What to say! Wow!! Wow! Wow!! Very tasty!! The coffee is just wow... Good service. Ovner is very friendly ! If out of 5 stars... I give 6!!
Family friends and I came here around noon after the Ventura Strawberry Festival. The place was pretty packed, and their system for seating parties doesn't make sense, but other than that the service, and importantly the food, is crazy amazing. Best chicken and waffles I've ever had. Some of the best chicken I've ever had PERIOD. My whole table was floored by the food quality. We were passing around plates so everyone could try a little bit of this and a little bit of that. They politely comped us a dessert for my girlfriend's birthday. Will be coming here again.
I stopped by Immigrant Son Caffe for breakfast and had a really great experience. I ordered the Giovanni omelet and it was fantastic — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and filling without being heavy. You can tell they care about what comes out of the kitchen. The outdoor seating is a big plus. It’s a really nice spot to sit, relax, and just enjoy being downtown. Great atmosphere, comfortable vibe, and a good place to start your morning. Service was friendly and attentive without being over the top. Everything felt smooth and welcoming. If you’re looking for a solid breakfast spot in Ventura with good energy and quality food, this is definitely one worth checking out. I’ll be back.
This was just an absolutely stellar Sunday morning brunch experience. The service was outstanding, waitress and hosts were kind, accommodating, the restaurant was clean and the air was clear. Food and beverages came promptly and looked stunning and tasted absolutely perfect. We got the bacon flight, the breakfast charcuterie, the breakfast lasagna and some Bloody Mary's. 10/10
Delicous and unique cafe with great presentation. I tried their signature "breakfast lasagna" which was delicious, but definitely a heavy meal for breakfast. My girlfriend had a limited time chicken sandwich from their specials menu. We ended off splitting a tiramisu. Lattes & coffees also robust and delicious, and alcohol is available if you want to get a boozy brunch going!
