Venga Cucina is the culminated vision of restauranteur Gino Benevenga. Hailing from Campania region of Italy, Gino brings a little piece of his motherland to Toronto’s Junction neighborhood.

Gino has perfected the craft of the roman-style flatbread pizzas—the pinsa romana—and is one of only two certified masters in Canada to offer authentic pinsa romana at his restaurant.

The pinsa is heralded for its crunchy exterior, its light and airy pockets in the center, and its digestibility; all due to a select blend of cereal flours and high hydration.

In addition to pinsa romana, Venga Cucina offers a full menu inspired by local ingredients and the dishes that Gino grew up with in Sorrento.

    Just the BEST food. Their pinsa is always delicious (love that the chef comes out to say hi), there's a lovely atmosphere and the waiters are kind and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

    My friend wanted to try out this place and so we booked. Delicious food, first time we had had a pinsa. Loved the scissors we were given to cut the pinsa into slices. Great idea!

    Everything about my first experience was utterly delightful. Food is exceptional. I recommend sharing plates “family style” with your party so you can sample many dishes. The pizza with wild boar sausage and rapini is a delicious blend of complimentary flavours. Lobster capellini has a flavourful yet delicate cream sauce that lets the lobster tail be the star of the dish. Leave room for dessert! The lemon mousse cake is surely made by angels. The staff is a well-orchestrated team working together so we never felt unattended, rather they doted on us making us feel welcome. We enjoyed sitting on the patio Al Fresca since it was a beautiful unseasonably warm day. Wonderful experience. Can’t wait to go back again.

    Had a wonderful time with my husband eating delicious authentic Italian food with tasty wine. Truly the best Italian Resto in the city!! It feels like I’m on vacation when we’re there. The staff is warm and welcoming/service is excellent. It’s a great spot to bring friends/family because it’s a guarantee they will find something they love. Venga Cucina 4ever!!
