However, the Granata boss couldn't conceal his anger after watching his side slip from 2-1 up to lose 3-2 at the end.
"The ending of the game was like a film for Giallorossi fans,” Ventura exclaimed in his post-match interview. “I'm pleased for Francesco Totti, Luciano Spalletti and all Roma supporters, but I'm also angry at my players because we stopped doing what we're capable of in the last 20 minutes."
The promise of victory that vanished in the contest's final moments left the Torino coach frustrated: "If we can't get a result in a match like this, then we'll never take points off Roma again. We played really well in some spells, clearly not at the end when we threw all the good work we'd done up in the air.
"The problem is that we have to learn. We're a team that could go on to achieve something big, but we've got a lot of improving to do."
Ventura also praised Totti's performance, as well as defending Spalletti's decision to throw him on right at the end.
"Totti is a superb player and Spalletti is an experienced coach, plus he's a friend of mine. It would be very arrogant of me to presume that I know how things stand from the outside, so I cannot add to what's already been said."
