    Delicious food! Ambience a bit brighter than I prefer, would be nice if they could dim the lights a bit. Otherwise outstanding.

    The special - giant shrimp, pancetta, tomatoes, spinach in a mild spicy cream sauce with rotini - what can I say but amazing!! But, then again, we are regulars and I’ve never had a disappointing experience here. Staff are amazing! Go there!

    Everything was absolutely delicious, as usual. I did notice the arancinis were a little smaller than the last time. The seasonal dessert was pumpkin cannolis, and they might just be my favorite thing in the whole world

    They let us sit ten minutes at the door before even acknowledging us. Waitress forgot to bring our drink to table. Had to remind her twice. Pizza was floppy wet seeming and cheese was cold. You have to beg to get your food. They need training. Until they do that we wouldn’t go back.

    The food was good, but the spacing between the tables next to the wall was very limited. Guests on both sides of the table felt very squeezed in. The restaurant was in the process of training new wait staff, but overall the service was slow due to what appeared to be back ups from the bar and in the kitchen.

    The friendliness and attentiveness of the servers were just right. Had the rigatoni bolognese which was authentically prepared and pasta rustica. Both dishes were flavourful and portions generous. A lovely dinner in a casual setting. Was nice to be able to make reservations ahead of time since it was full with theatre goers who then left by 7:30.

    Veneto has such amazing dinners, we were looking forward to the brunch. When we arrived & went into the courtyard the music was so loud, we sat in front. We had the brunch boards. They were not good. The waffle sticks were soft, like bread, not crunchy at all. The pancakes weren’t good either & the food wasn’t hot. The bloody Mary’s were terrible. The bacon was good, as was the coffee. When the server brought the boards he thought that was it. I asked if we were supposed to get eggs & home fries & he didn’t know. I told him we were. It wasn’t busy & it took a long time to get our drinks & we wanted horseradish for our bloody Mary’s & it took 10 mins for him to come back to tell us they didn’t have any. We won’t be back for brunch. I think they should stick to dinner!

    Thank you for giving the brunch a try. This is something we are just getting started. The food is done by an outside caterer with experience in the brunch market (as you know we specialize in pizza & pasta). Most guests have liked the food they've been providing to our guests. I'm sorry your experience was different. I'm also sorry the server wasn't experienced enough and not brought up to speed properly on the brunch menu. In the future, please reach out directly.

    Contemporary vibe. Would suggest reservations. Great seasonal cocktail menu, non alcoholic option for the under 21 crowd. Really nice salads. Food was delivered in a timely manner and all 6 at my table were happy with the meal!

    This was my second visit to Veneto, and it did not disappoint. Beautiful pasta and salads, lovely service, fun and lively dining scene. The street parking was easy. I’ll be back!
