Veneto's is a very popular restaurant in the East End. The quality of the food and service is consistently positive and they have a regular following. Get there early on weekends and reservations are suggested. More

We waited 40 minutes WITH a reservation. I was always under the impression this was a nice pizza and pasta restaurant. The bread served was almost hard and the butter was prepackaged (not even prepared in house). There was no oil or herbs for dipping. The bruschetta was served on this same bread but was literally caprese salad on bread... More

Inconsistency has always been a problem at Veneto. We have been going for years, with a short hiatus due to some problems the restaurant seemed to be having with food preparation. Some times you go and everything is spot on. Other times, it is like last night. The appetizer special (Arancini of beet and carrot) was very good, as was... More

I hae eaten at Veneto's on more than a dozen occasions and have never been disappointed. The chef Gio has now moved on to his own restaurant in Canandaigua but his legacy remains. The pizzas are enough to make a meal with and the pastas are home made and authentic. Being Italian, it is difficult to eat out at an... More

This was our second visit to Veneto and we were again very pleased with the food and the service. The waitress was friendly and efficient. I had the wood fired Pollo pizza with chicken, tomato, artichoke hearts, mozzarella cheese and fresh basil. It was delicious and I brought half home for dinner the next night. My companion had the pasta... More

I love Veneto. The food is always good. Its not a big place, but you can sit at the bar and watch the chefs. The food is reasonably priced and the portions are HUGE. Its more casual than Tony D's. Quieter and easier too. More

I've been to Veneto many times and can count on good food and service. My husband and I stopped in after an early movie at the Little. A Monday night, it was pretty empty. A waiter coming out the door to wait on an outside table welcomed us and told us someone would seat us inside. Our server provided quick,... More
