This place is nice! We sat on the patio and the atmosphere was glorious. BYOB! Our server was great. Very attentive. My only issue was that the food quality did not match the expensive prices. I was surprised. Be a great place for an impressive 1st date.

Try this unknown little place. You will be very pleased with the delicious food and good service. Still one of the best authentic Italian places in Northern New Jersey.

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.

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!!

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!
