Very cozy place , the head waiter or owner was very friendly and helpful
I really like the atmosphere, food and service here. It's my newest go-to place. I highly recommend Via Veneto.
The problem I had, no price for the specials, by looking the price in the menu, when I was ready to order, I decided to get the special but I wouldn’t never order the special if I had seeing the price, in the regular menu the price of many other dishes was fare, so I didn’t ask for how would cost for the specials, which in any restaurant I went, always give you the sheet with the special price, if I new the price for what I got, I wouldn’t order, because wasn’t worth it to my taste, in my opinion to the owner of trattoria via Veneto, please show the price to the customer of the specials of the day, so they would feel comfortable to order the special dishes.

Traditional Italian restaurant with a fantastic manager that ensures you enjoy your meal. Highly recommend. Best restaurant in Nutley!
Always good food. BYOB
It is a little hidden gem. The food was authentic and unique. It had a hearty home cooked taste to it.. In one word - delicious. The menu was surprisingly different, not the standard fare that you get in most Italian restaurants. Atmosphere was cozy and the staff was very welcome. I highly recommend it.
Small quaint resturant with limited seating..Food was so delicious!! Everything was fresh and made to order
..the starters stuffed clams, eggplant rolatini, crab cakes and mozzarella was a great start..double pork chop, shrimp and pasta , veal, special of the night fish and skirt steak dinners were all fantastic!! Well worth the trip!!
Nice home style Italian cooking
very homely atmosphere with very good food. pasta was not too soft and not too hard, perfect.
This place will transport you. I recommend the back patio, which feels like a secret hideaway—it’s truly special. The service is very attentive and is professional, and the food is outstanding. It’s not cheap but it is BYOB which makes the overall value compelling. The specials list was so tempting I wanted to order everything, but we settled on burrata and escarole and bean soup to start, followed by lamb shank over pappardelle for my husband and pork Milanese for me.
The lamb shank fell off the bone beautifully, and the Milanese was perfection—simple and delicious, served topped with arugula and tomatoes and with a squeeze of lemon. The soup, with its perfect orangey-colored broth, tasted like pure comfort and home. The cannoli were good but not as impressive as everything else we tried so I would try a different dessert next time or skip dessert. My husband, who’s on a [losing] mission to convince me Southern food is superior, admitted the burrata was better than anything we’ve had in Charleston! :)
I moved away from NJ years ago, and meals like this make me want to move back just so I can enjoy food like this anytime I want. Can’t wait for our next visit!

Feels like a secret hideaway, very special, especially when you sit on the back patio. Attentive, professional service. Excellent food. BYOB. I wanted to order everything from the specials list. We went with burrata and escarole and bean soup to start, followed by lamb shank over pappardelle for my husband and pork Milanese for me. I moved away from NJ years ago and I want to move back just so I can eat like this again whenever I want. Lamb shank fell off the bone beautifully and my Milanese was simple and perfectly done with arugula, lemon and tomatoes. The soup had that perfect orangey broth and tasted like home. My husband— who is on a [losing] mission to convince me food is better in the South— admitted that the burrata was better than we’ve ever had in Charleston. Can’t wait until next time we are in town so we can come back.
Went to meet a friend for dinner. The waiter was so rude and dismissive that we left without eating.

We tried this restaurant for the first time and it was great! Fresh seafood, homemade gnocchi, delicious fennel salad, and the outside seating was perfect in August!
