As another reviewer stated - this is a rare San Francisco gem! I love this place that is just a few blocks from our home. It is sort of like Cheers - everyone knows your name. Massimo (owner) greets you like you are his best friend. Food is fabulous and service is exceptional and relaxed. You are never rushed - I swear you could stay there all night and they would think nothing of it. Massimo makes a mean (and large) Martini. The menu is always very extensive with Massimo adding options that are not listed on that nights menu. If something is not on the menu they will make it for you - or if you want something prepared a totally different way - no problem. The place is relatively small and cozy and the back enclosed patio was great during Covid. The pricing is exceptional for a very large meal and you always feel like you got a great deal on excellent food. This is the place for your favorite comfort meal.

I LOVE this place. Especially the owner, we sang the Beatles together and it was an unforgettable night for me.. Norwegian wood to be exact😉 The food is great, the owner is a lovely person, and the wine is always flowing! Cheers, see you guys again soon

If you love authentic Italian food with old classic and welcoming Italian style of service. This is your place.
Good Chianti wines for affordable price tag, personal touch by the owner.
This is now my go to Italian restaurant in our neighborhood 🤍

Via Veneto is one of the best Italian restaurants in SF to enjoy authentic dishes and experience the atmosphere. I've never been disappointed with the menu items I tried: a flavourful minestrone soup, clam chowder, or gorgeous Cacciucco Adriatico, tender involtini, mozzarella caprese. Even more charming are the entrées: salmon piccata, petrale sole, pasta with crabs, or lobster ravioli, signature rack of lamb, huge ribeye steak, etc. All dishes are always cooked to perfection. Don't forget to leave some space to accommodate desserts: splendid tiramisu, mango panna cotta, orange pancakes, pera arlecchina. The Italian vibe of the place is very attractive, Massimo is a very hospitable host and I always feel at home there. If you love Italian cuisine and are not in a hurry, consider the Via Veneto restaurant in the Pacific Heights.

Food was ok, but definitely not worth the price point. Service was exceptionally bad/rude.
