Via Veneto Italian Restaurant

Spaghetti and meatballs was terrible. I sent it back. Then I got the spaghetti allá puttanesca which was my mistake because it was the same red sauce. So yucky. I took 2 bites and had to spit it out, it tasted so stale and fishy and gross !! Sorry, I was so excited to come here and I don’t think I’ve ever rejected 2 meals in a row from a restaurant. I’m quite a foodie but this was food was subpar. The pizza was pretty good so was the wine and the service was acceptable, the atmosphere is nice too but overall I wouldn’t come back

I did not plan on going here. I wandered in with my 2 year old son on a whim because he wanted peeeza and we were just strolling through the variety story. I was not expecting the best pizza I’ve ever had. I texted my husband and Italian side of the family before even leaving. I was just not emotionally prepared to have that incredible of an eating experience… will be recommending to everyone

October 4, 2025 took a 95 year old there for her birthday dinner. The food was wonderful. Absolutely zero complaints. The service was spot on as well. We had fried mozzarella sticks (double order) with thick homemade marinara sauce for an appetizer. Linguine with 8 very large shrimps and Lasagna. The dinners came with a small side salad with a vinaigrette house dressing and soft bread with butter. Dessert was vanilla custard ice cream with toasted nuts and a cherry on top. The servings were large with plenty to take home for a 2nd day. I highly recommend this establishment. Prices were in the $$ range considering I had 2 other guests with us, the bill came to $165 and everyone had a full portion to take home. The waitress did say they have 1/2 portions but you have to request them.

We ordered takeout here for the first time and will not be back. The food was awful and flavorless. I first ate the arancini, and it was inedible - the beef stuffng was spoiled and I spit it out. I called them to let them know this and the host said she would talk to the kitchen but didn't offer anything to make up for it and didn't take my contact info to have anyone follow up. Then I ate my entree and wished I didn't. The bacon in the penne was rancid. The salad was soggy because they already tossed it in dressing. The tiramisu was some kind of cream cake with chocolate and strawberry sauce dumped on it, definitely not tiramisu. My family didn't like their food either- the clam linguine had sand in it, the manicotti was bland, the sliced tomato in the caprese was too thick. Very disappointed to have spent so much money for food we just threw in the garbage.

Amazing chicken parm and the server I had was super nice

Absolutely amazing food! Very fresh and tasty! We also love the dimmed cozy environment, and the very friendly and welcoming service. Everyone seems to be very happy which makes the energy supper good and contagious. We really enjoyed our time there, and our palate loved it. Via Veneto is definitely one of our favorite restaurants!! 💕

We went on a Saturday night at 6:30, and the place was practically a ghost town—only three other full tables. Now I know why. I don’t usually write reviews, but this “restaurant” was so shockingly bad I feel morally obligated to warn anyone thinking of stepping foot inside. The food looked like it had been nuked in a microwave by someone who’s never seen a kitchen before. The chicken? Barely recognizable as meat—more like something that escaped from a biology experiment gone wrong. If you’re even thinking about eating here, just stop. Save yourself the trauma and hit up McDonald’s. Their dollar menu blows this sad excuse for a restaurant out of the water. Honestly, you’d get better quality from a gas station hot dog.

This place is a 5/5! Very delicious food ? The service was really good and super nice! Recommend the pizza and calamari. And the dessert was really good. Really recommend the tiramisu. Overall, it was really good and definitely coming back!

The experience is really well , servers are nice and the food is delicious!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at
Via Veneto, a charming Italian restaurant that has recently come under new management. From the moment I stepped inside, I could feel the inviting ambiance enhanced by fresh decor and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

The new management has clearly made it a priority to elevate the dining experience. I decided to try the Linguine Fradiavolo and it was delicious. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the sauce was deeply flavorful, reflecting the essence of Italian home cooking.

Service was attentive without being intrusive, and the staff seemed genuinely passionate about the food they serve. They offered great recommendations and were well-informed about the menu, which enhanced the overall experience.

Overall, Via Veneto under new management has truly transformed into a must-visit spot for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine. I left feeling satisfied and eager to return. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by—you won’t be disappointed!
