January 1, 2025 marks 29 years for Ventiās Cafe doing business in downtown Salem on Court St.
So much has happened in the 29 years since Dino Venti and his brother Mike opened up Ventiās Bento in an old ice cream cafe in the Reed Opera House. Back then, Dino was serving skewered chicken over rice with a vision of clean and healthy food at an affordable price.
Nearly three decades later, this remains the mission. We still offer the meats that made us famous but over time we have added a variety of tasty plant-based protein, and in the past year, have successfully launched our vegan-forward menu.
And talk about affordable, we offer as a daily lunch special our most famous dish: teriyaki chicken over rice with pickled ginger and cabbage slaw at just $11.50. Choose a plant-based protein instead of chicken for $10!
Ventiās has also made an impactful mark with its tap selection, providing an unparalleled lineup for some of the most sought-after craft beers available to the public. We have never wavered from aspiring to be the best in this area, creating our new āBeer Vaultā in the Venti underground, located just below our restaurant, offering rare, aged, cellared, and one-off vintage selections of artisan bottled beers.
But thatās not all :) we have pushed the envelope with our tapped offerings as well to now include crafted kombucha, root beers, hard seltzers, ciders and CBD drinks. Tapped quality, Ventiās hospitality.
So come and celebrate our 29th anniversary with us and add our signature truffle-salt ribboned potato chips to any happy hour beverage for just .29Ā¢ through the month of January!

(Mondays and Wednesdays are a good time to come to avoid crowds.) With our shareable sizes (now including half sizes!), you can try a little bit of everything with your squad. Owner Dino Venti has stepped back into operations and is manning the floor weekdays during lunch. Come say "Hi!" and don't forget free and convenient parking on-street and in the Chemeketa Parkade.

Dear valued customers and cherished community members,
It is with a mix of heartfelt gratitude and a touch of sadness that we announce the closing of our South Salem (The Taphouse) location after 13 wonderful years. The shifting economy and our commitment to meeting everyoneās needs have led us to make this difficult decision.
We cannot express enough how much we have appreciated your visits, your smiles, your laughter, and even your tears over the years. Each moment shared with you has been a treasured part of our journey. Please share those wings photos with us too. We love seeing each and every one of them.
As we close this chapter, we are excited to continue our story at our downtown location. Returning to our roots, we are thrilled to remain a part of Salemās vibrant downtown community. Our downtown location is near abundant, free parking, both on-street and in the Chemeketa Parkade, just footsteps from our front door. We are currently open 5 days a week and are hoping to expand that very soon. We also have an exciting new menu format that we know you will love as much as we do!
Thank you for being a part of our family and for your unwavering support. We look forward to welcoming you at our downtown restaurant and creating many more wonderful memories together.
With deepest appreciation,
The Ventiās
One of our best loved events is Karaoke hosted by Robert Huston. For a few months, weāre changing the time to 8-11 pm on Thursdays. Same day, just later start.
Participants range from die-hard regulars to drop ins and sing anything that Robert can find on the World Wide Web. Leslie likes dumb 80s songs like Footloose and has to restrain herself from going up too much whereas there are plenty of singers who have passion and talent and blow us all out of the water. Haha. Back in June we had a Prince night that was epic and we often pair up with area businesses or groups to host them for team building and fun.
Watch our Instagram page for ongoing info and/or follow Robert!
