The food was alright but the customer service was beyond horrible. The main Italian guy with the glasses - despicable customer service, as a black man I felt unwelcome, wasn't offered any drinks other than water, he went around other tables explaining what they had on dessert menu but did not once come to my table. I would not recommend this restaurant if you're black or any POC because you won't be treated the same. 0/5 for service and atmosphere. Disgusting. Do better mate.

It was all wonderful and made even more so by the charming and knowledgeable Massimo. The ambience felt like so many charming restaurants in Italy. The food was some of the best Italian I have had and I have spent months in many different Italian towns. I don't think you can go wrong with any menu choice, and the wines were wonderful. I wish that I lived in LA so that we could become regulars! Finché non potrò tornare.

Locanda Veneta is an intimate and romantic restaurant with excellent service and a delicious variety of superb Italian food. Their soups, salads, pastas and entrees are varied and well prepared. The waiters care about the service they give you and the chefs do an excellent job. We shared a non-dairy butternut squash soup that was delicious and the Orrechette Pesto. Then we each had the lamb shank on polenta, followed by tiramisu that we shared. Everything was scrumptious. The menu has so much variety. The coupe eating next to us had grilled calamari, a lobster dish, a caprese salad and other tasty looking dishes. I saw someone else enjoying fettuccine Bolognese. There is something on the menu for everyone. There is a reason that Locanda Veneta has been around for such a long time. The reason is excellent food and caring service.

We went for lunch. Out of 3, two had the lunch special. Best deal in town! Food is delicious. We sat outside and were able to talk to each other. The service was excellent! We will be going back!

As much as I enjoyed the food, what really so me I'm ever going back to this place is the fact that I left three voicemails for a lost broach and nobody called me back once
Excellent service and atmosphere. The food was very tasty. I had the lobster ravioli, very rich and buttery. My friend had the branzino which i tasted and was good. Very interesting key lime cheesecake. The table bread with pesto spread was excellent.

An absolute gem. Fantastic ambience, but the stars are the food and the staff. The food is superb, and the staff are so warm and friendly; they go above and beyond with small special touches from wine to appetizers that make you feel welcomed, and show how much they care you have the perfect meal and experience for any occasion.

Discovered this place totally by accident. The mushroom risotto was great. The atmosphere intimate and pleasant. Service was nice too. Feels like walking into an old world restaurant that you don't get in LA too often anymore.

The restaurant has a charming atmosphere. The food was exceptionally prepared and they accommodated my special dietary needs without any issues. The waiter was top notch and could easily be rated as the best waiter this year, and I dine out regularly. The prices are above some diners threshold but for a special night out it's worth the prices. Yes I would recommend.
