An amazing experience. 15 of us turned up and they couldn't have been more friendly or done more to accommodate us. On top of that the food was spectacular and extremely good value. Highly recommend.

We had a lovely birthday dinner here last night. The food is exquisite - clearly all freshly made on site and good vegan options - and the service delightful. And they allow dogs! We’ll definitely return when we’re next in Ventor!

First accidentally found this place around 5 years ago. Never fails to touch the spot with some of the nicest food in the Island. Now we make a point of visiting every trip. Consistently good with a great welcome. Thank you team Cantina.

We enjoyed a delicious breakfast of Swedish hash and a latka dish, along with very nice coffee, juice and a superb Bloody Mary. A very warm welcome on a wet February morning with a relaxed vibe. Definitely be back when we visit Ventnor in the future. Very gracious hosts. Keep it up 🌞

Had the pleasure of stumbling across this great cafe today. Service was warm and attentive while also being Dog friendly. The brunch was possibly the vegan breakfast I ever had and everything was reasonably priced for the quality. Needless to say I highly recommend Cantina. I will be returning on my next trip to the island. 5 stars

Superb quality brunch - great ingredients, excellently cooked and very friendly service. Good quality, well-made coffee too. And good value for what you get. Our second visit and we look forward to going back again. They did have some walk-ins but booking at weekend likely needed.

Outstanding food that was reasonably priced, amazingly friendly service, and a chill comforting atmosphere. The food really was divine, if you have a chance, go here. Only wish I had a bigger stomach to try more of it. Every customer was singing the praises of each dish and it's easy to see why.

Mediterranean inspiration for the food prepared with love! Every dish was full of flavours and delicious. Humus (outstanding) , Eggplant Greek style ( delicious)… Good Italian wine!

We stumbled upon this hidden gem when we were traveling on the Isle of Wight. Great food, even the beans for full English is specially made with chickpeas and tasty seasoning. Everything exceeded our expectations, food, latte art, even for tomato juice where they offered to make it virgin bloody mary! Delicious food, amazing service and cosy atmosphere. We were so lucky to have got the final table. Thank you! 😊

The lady there was very rude. We came asking for a place for 4 and she told us rudely no place despite there were two empty tables. We asked her if my wife can use the toilet and she told us rudely for customers only. My wife is pregnant and any commonsense would say that we are asking because my wife needed it. No tolerance for people that don’t show sympathy. Don't go there!!!!

I promised Dita I'd post a review and it's only taken me nearly 6 months ... that's no reflection on the service or the food - we had a totally memorable dining experience. (Pleased to see my brother posted a review a few months back so I feel less guilty!) Amazingly Dita agreed to open La Cantina exclusively for our party celebration of my parents' golden wedding anniversary. She was so accommodating and easy going and flexible. The front of the restaurant is unassuming, and doesn't necessarily hint at the wonders that are on offer within. The menu had just a few dishes to choose from but every one was so very delicious. Really appreciate the mac cheese offer for the little people. Those chocolate and plum tarts were sensational. My husband and I also had brunch at La Cantina whilst on IOW. Everything served so fresh and hot and yummy. There was someone else other than Dita serving that day and she was great. Loved the wine choice, and the white albarino was divine. My only gripe would be that initially we were served bottled still water but they were willing to change to tap water when we asked. We hope we made up for that by ordering a cocktail or two. On street parking directly outside free after 6pm. Thank you so much Dita & Adam. We'll never forget out visit to La Cantina

Absolutely fantastic experience here - so good we ignored the owner’s recommendations for other restaurants in town and just came back the next night! We also ate breakfast here - can you tell we liked the place? 😄 Food was awesome - not fussy or pretentious, just very high quality ‘bistro’ type menu. Wines are very well chosen and a reasonable price. The star of the show is the owner Dita though. A better front-of-house person (and only waitress) you couldn’t hope to meet. Warm, genuine and incredibly competent. She really helps make your meal more than the sum of its parts. Restaurants so often get this wrong, but Dita gets this so right! If you want to eat in Ventnor, you NEED to go to Cantina.

An amazing find. They were kind enough to give us exclusive use of the restaurant even though it was supposed to be their night off! Communication beforehand was great and the friendly, welcoming and attentive service on the night was just superb. Food was excellent - seafood stew being the highlight - with home made chocolate tart and plum tart a delicious surprise to finish the evening off. Even better than expected and definitely worth visiting, wherever you're staying on the Isle of Wight. The team looked after 3 generations of our family and made our parents' 50th Anniversary celebration really memorable. Thank you!

Lovely place. Booked 15 for brunch. We were warned only the chef and one front of house staff working. We were fine with that and prepared to have a long wait. This didn't happen, we were served our drinks first, amazing coffee, Virgin Bloody Mary's, plenty of tap water. The food was amazing, we probably chose almost everything from the brunch menu. Clear plates all round, food was delicious, something different to the usual full English (although you can have that too) great quality food. We couldn't fault the service. We week be returning.

Very modern decor and nice environment. But - It was too hot in there with little to no ventilation meaning we left smelling of cooking! The soup was over salted but good taste and the egg mayo sandwich was too adventurous with its fillings. Plus it was £5 for the sandwich which was 2 slices of thin bread but in 3 (tiny portion with no sides compared to other places) but the coffee was really nice.

Cantina is absolutely my favourite restaurant on the Isle of Wight (actually probably my favourite restaurant ever). I particularly like how the interesting menus are regularly changed to reflect the seasons and what the chefs are up to creatively. I think the prices are undoubtedly excellent value for money. My partner and I celebrated our anniversary here recently and had starters, mains and two large glasses of wine and it was £25 a head! Previously my best friend and I have had 3 courses plus an appetiser, a cocktail and a mocktail each and a coffee and it hasn't gone beyond £40 a head. We love the fact that we can have a feast and not feel like we've broken the bank. However, despite the excellent value for money the cooking is brilliant and I have never been disappointed with any dish I've had here. I often find myself choosing things I wouldn't normally try as I trust the kitchen to do it well and enjoy the experience of trying new foods (something I don't tend to do other places). Also, the breakfast / brunch options are fantastic and available all day (until evening service begins). I particularly love the soft boiled eggs served completely deshelled and with toasted foccacia, baked onsite. Cantina is a real gem in the Island's culinary scene.

All days breakfasts include the usual but plenty of innovative dishes as well such as farmer's which has potato and onion as well as egg and bacon.
