    Service was decent until it got a little busy then the waiters forgot to put in our order and never checked on us for the next hour and we didn’t get our food until we had been there nearly 2 hours. Main course was average.

    Beautiful magnificent ambiance. Obnoxious waiter. TERRIBLE quality food for insanely expensive costs. Loud. So not worth it.

    Via Veneto is always a wonderful time with great food and great staff. I usually get the lobster spaghetti, but this time I got the carbonara and it was amazing.

    We waited for an hour and 30 minutes for our food and it was inedible. When we tried to get the manager to talk to us the waiter said no and argued that the food was not cold. Ridiculous.
