    Active Saturday but not noisy. Enjoyed the semi open kitchen concept to see some prep work going on. The bar is attractive and easy for eating, though se sat at a table. Friendly server, knowledgable. Food arrived right on time. Salads are shareable which is nice. Portions are good. Easy access to parking even though it is downtown. A delightful expeeience.

    The food and service were excellent. But it was quite cold at our table by the front window. Other parts of the inside had a more normal temperature, but up front, it was significantly colder.

    Great food, service, ambience and price. We always enjoy the atmosphere at Venetos. And walkable to the RPO which is very attractive to us.

    Wonderful Friday night at Veneto with great service by Alex. The bolognese was delicious as well as my wife’s chicken milanese. Nice selection of wines by the glass and the young lady bartending made terrific after-dinner cocktails.

    Great spot! Amazing food and great service. I have a gluten allergy and their gluten free pizza was some of the best I've ever had.

    A friend and I dined on a Saturday evening. It was busy, but not unusual for this restaurant. We ordered a salad and asked for it to be served first. Our entrees arrived before the salad. It did not spoil the evening but it was an error on the part of our server.

    Excellent meal with great service from Gabe, Grace, and Nate! Veneto Sunday Sauce is superb! So worth the trip, even on a cold and windy Sunday evening.
