Came back again after a few years and it's still 5 stars. Super tasty food, awesome service, and beautiful ambiance. The avocado toast and breakfast potatoes are extraordinary. Can't wait to return again next time in Ventura. It's worth a trip from LA again soon. read more

I've found my new happy place! We came in on a Saturday around noon and were surprisingly seated immediately. This location has a cute casual atmosphere. All of the staff are so nice and seem genuinely happy to be there. I ordered the carbonara and it was divine. That dish was made with love. Sooo delicious. The bread bowl was kinda like a pita but more firm. I also got a mimosa and an espresso martini. Their espresso martini was SOOO good, like top 10 I've ever had. The salmon Benedict was very good and light. We loved the potatoes! read more

Immigrant Son Café is next level 5+ stars! Wanted a special place for my niece's 21st birthday. Never expected the delicious food and service we found here. Both breakfast and lunch offerings were delicious. I've never had pasta served in a bread bowl and this one made you want to actually eat the whole bread bowl- Delicious! The Chilaquiles were authentic and spicy. The sauce was perfect and I am very picky about my Mexican food! Love the restaurant's ambience with an industrial modern vibe. The large area out front along Main Street is a great place to people watch and it fills up fast! Our amazing waiter Michael overheard us wishing our niece a happy birthday and made sure that he brought our table a special tiramisu dessert for her without our asking. Everything about this place is perfect, from the service to the food and to the location on wonderful Main St., Ventura . You simply can't go wrong and we will be back. One recommendation for the owners ... open for dinner with a dinner menu! Ventura could use another great dinner place and we absolutely would've come back for dinner if you had been open!! read more

Came with a group for brunch on Saturday. We got luck and sat quickly (it got busier after we were seated). We sat outside, they had umbrellas for sun cover. I wish I had gotten the waiter's name, he was fantastic. We ordered cocktails and appetizers. The whipped burrata was our favorite, closely followed by the bacon flight. I thought that was gimmicky but it was truly great. Main courses were also beautiful and delicious. I had the chicken parm which I would order again in a heart beat. Everyone loved their dishes. To keep it simple, it's the best brunch spot I've ever visited. I'm excited to return and try the Oxnard location as well. read more

Excellent brunch and service. The wait was minimal even though it was clearly busy, and the service was prompt even on a Saturday for brunch. My mom and I split the yogurt parfait which was super tasty, and I had the eggs benedict with the prosciutto. It was delicious and honestly looking at other people's food around the the restaurant, everything looked pretty good. Our waitress was so friendly and super pretty lol. I didn't get her name unfortunately. But, I had ordered a hot chai and I got an iced one (from another server), and she came and immediately apologized. They brought me a hot chai even though I told them it was really ok and I would just drink the iced one, so that was very good service. Would definitely recommend and return. read more

Did you ever go somewhere the food looked better than it tasted? I was very disappointed. I should have had my daughter made her BOMB blueberry pancakes. And my wife's fried potatoes and save my daughter $90 (Yes, my youngest daughter paid, she never pays so I jumped at the opportunity)! I had the pancakes with only strawberries and potatoes. Service was ok, felt rushed. NOPE, won't be going back to this place. I will say they have a kick ass looking expresso machine but I don't drink coffee. Oh by the way they have water in this very nice looking bottle but it tasted like it was ref illed with tap water-gross.she read more

Wow!! What a great place for brunch in downtown Ventura. Food - Excellent Service - Excellent Atmosphere - Excellent Location - Excellent As if downtown Ventura wasn't already a fun place to take a stroll, to do some shopping, to check out the entertainers, but this place is icing on the cake. There is a wide selection of places to eat, drink, and hang out, but Immigrant Son Caffe hits me different. We sat outside at a table with an umbrella on a beautiful sunny day. The inside is nice and welcoming with Italian decor and staff running around to take care of guests. Every single one with a smile :) Onto the food....I am not an egg person! The food cannot taste like egg, which in my case the Aunt Anna that I ordered did not, and was superb!!! [ eggs benedict with roasted tomato, baby spinach, & basil pesto ] My hopes were that the basil pesto would cover the 'egg' flavor, which it did and then some! 5 ***** There are many other items I want try and will definitely be back! Ohhhhhh and the coffee - eccellente! ( excellent )!!! read more

The staff were nice and greeted us well but they got my friend's order completely wrong. The bread was stale and cold. They didn't even put butter on it . The breakfast potatoes tasted strange. They tasted thawed out and mushy. The food felt cold or maybe they were short staffed. I definitely will not go back. For the price of the food and the old tasting food I would not recommend. read more

Background On Visit: Originally, we were planning to go to Finney Crafthouse for lunch, but a small business owner from Fiddle and Fern told us that there was a great breakfast place that we had to try out and so we DID! Restroom: One restroom stall towards the back of the restaurant Credit Card: They do accept credit cards. Location/Parking: Located in between N. California St. and N. Chestnut St.. Parking can be found in neighboring streets. They also have have meter parking. Just remember that they block off parts of Main St.. Stayed at Best Western so the the walk to this place wasn't far and didn't have to stress about finding parking. Ambiance/Decor: Pretty neat place. Had this pretty chill ambiance that matched the beach town. From the outside, the restaurant looks small, but when you go further inside it's spacious. Modern furnishings and neat decor through out the restaurant. Service: The hostess was very nice and attentive. She greeted us and surveyed inside and the outdoor patio to see how long the wait would be. We didn't have to wait long to get a table. The staffer that took our order forgot to put a order in. He was apologetic and told us that it was a misunderstanding. Even though, the order wasn't placed in the first place, we did order it towards the end of our meal. Food For Thought: 1) Poblano Omelet: Omelet was very good. It consisted of pulled chicken, poblano, and mozzarella cheese. It also came with a side of breakfast potatoes, fruit, and your choice of toast. The breakfast potatoes were over seasoned and tasted very salty to me. I'll ask them next time if it's possible to have them unsalted. 2) Breakfast Lasagna: The main STAR of the meal! My goodness! It's was soo goooood! It was worth the wait and would love to eat it again. Plus, I really LOVE lasagna! :) 3) Tiramisu: Very enjoyable. I definitely think this place has better tiramisu than Pasta Sisters! Moist and muy delicioso! Just don't inhale the cocoa powder! Not fun at all! :P Immigrant Son Caffe For Thought: Would love to come back when I visit again. read more

I feel like I just visited Italy! It's a whole vibe. We were served by Alvaro and he was so kind and vivacious from beginning to end. He also gave great recommendations. The Chicken vodka pasta was incredible. And in a bread bowl!? Are you kidding? That was so cool and absolutely DELICIOUS! I airway made plans to go back before I even left. Hands down the most flavorful Italian I've ever had. If you haven't been yet makes it happen. I loved everything about this place. The atmosphere, the staff, and especially the food. read more

Went for brunch and this place was such a great treat. Food was amazing, restaurant is such a cute quaint place, and the people were awesome. Dog friendly also with our puppy! We had the avocado toast and strawberry salad that was on their special menu. Recommend it all. The strawberry salad with heirloom tomatoes and mint was an amazing fresh summery flavor! At the end they also give you Nonna's cookie. Love this place and recommend it 100%! read more

Immigrant Son's Cafe in Ventura is an absolute gem. From the second we walked in, the service and ambience were 10/10. warm, welcoming, and the kind of place you instantly feel comfortable in. Now let's talk food, because WOW. We ordered the Chicken Parmigiana, Cousin Michael Carbonara, Spaghetti & Meatballs, and Shrimp Fra Diavolo -- and yes, we got all the pastas in their house-made bread bowls, which are baked in-house and worth every bite alone. When I say the meatballs are the best I've ever had, I mean it. Perfectly seasoned, melt-in-your-mouth, cooked exactly right -- I could honestly write a love letter to those meatballs. Everything across the table was beautifully seasoned and cooked just how it should be. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the michelada, but that was the only miss of the night. And fair warning: if you can't tolerate heat, the Shrimp Fra Diavolo is NOT playing around -- it definitely had me breaking a sweat... but I loved every second of it. This place delivers on flavor, comfort, and vibe. The staff were truly outstanding! Can't wait to go back. I wish I had pictures :( read more

Immigrant Son has restored my faith in dining in a post-covid world. First time there today and my only regret is that it took me so long. Top shelf experience in every way.

When we offer to take our CA family out for a meal, they choose Immigrant Son Caffe in downtown Ventura. There's a reason for that! It's wonderful. Delicious food--they're partial to the brunch for breakfast lasagna and strawberry buttermilk pancakes, with a flight of honey sesame bacon. And of course there're Benedict's, omelettes and other traditional fare. Our granddaughter devours the fresh OJ. And there are favorite coffee and espresso drinks. Alessandro knows his biz and manages his eatery hands on, confident in his friendly, efficient staff, like Cindy, a hostess making everyone feel welcome, and Faith, who has a high chair and table for 5 on the sunny outer area set up in a flash. As I said, the food was memorable, and there was plenty of it. It's a mostly Italian cuisine with American comfort food offerings. We'll be back. read more

No fuss, no muss pasta at a great location with an awesome patio. I love getting a plate and a mimosa, then sitting outside to people watch and enjoy the sun. I love that the pasta comes in bread bowls. The pasta is really fresh. The carbonara was tasty but a little light in flavor. I recommend one of their other sauce options, especially the alla vodka or any of the tomato based ones. They have great breakfast variety and I think the best time to go here is for brunch. Try the eggs benedict, breakfast lasagna, and pair it with a nice sparkling mimosa. All in all, this is a solid and no nonsense spot. read more

While the interior was really cozy and the service was very welcoming. The food wasn't what I expected. Me and my friends tried the breakfast lasagna and the salmon eggs benedict. The lasagna was a little too salty and the eggs benedict lacked flavor. However, we did try one of their butterfly seasonal tea which was really good. read more

Great food, service, drinks, and ambiance! I've had the original Ventura location bookmarked for a while, but finally got to try it here at The Collection. Even arriving at 12:30 on a Sunday, we only had to wait about 20-30 minutes which wasn't bad. I tried one of their specialty Italian breakfast drinks they were offering with espresso, a liquor, egg white, and more...I forget what it was called but it was quite tasty! It's a small hot drink more unique than my typical mimosa choice (which looked quite good too, nice size glass and made with the right OJ & champagne proportions!). Though the breakfast lasagna was tempting, I got the Focaccia Breakfast Sandwich which was very good. The burrata scrambled eggs were just YUM. Glad I finally got to come here and I am looking forward to being back and trying so much more! read more

We stopped for a quick bit to eat, and will 100% be going back. The customer service was very good and helpful. The environmental was so comfortable and seating was great. I recommend getting a booth seat on colder days! But with sunny days definitely sit out doors! Overall 10/10. read more

Cute brunch spot in downtown Ventura with a laid-back outdoor vibe. I ordered the avocado toast and lox benedict -- both dishes were fresh, well-plated, and visually impressive. The coffee was smooth and came with free refills, which was a nice touch. Staff were friendly and the service felt warm without being pushy. However, some of the menu items felt a bit overpriced for what you get. It's a nice place to try if you're in the area. read more

Probably my favorite breakfast spot in Ventura. Indoor seating, outdoor seating, both work just fine! Sometimes there's a line but service is always prompt. I always order the same thing because I love it so much much, the giovanni omelette- add mushrooms. You can't go wrong. I've also tried the breakfast lasagna, breakfast carbonara, deviled eggs, bacon flight, pretty much made my way through most of the menu- nothing disappoints! Their desserts are also delicious! Great food, great service, great ambiance. read more
