    During the holiday rush, we were amazed at the personal touch given to each of us, even with our large party. The food was spectacular, and the new-to-us menu didn’t disappoint. Service was attentive and efficient, despite the busy season. We left impressed and eager to return!

    This was the best dining experience we have had in a long time. Everything was delicious, perfectly cooked and presented, and the service was impeccable. It is rare for a party of 7, ranging in age from 10 to 75, to be so pleased with every single dish. (We had two kinds of steak, lamb, duck, salmon, calamari, truffle fries, Brussels sprouts, and Caesar salad. Unfortunately we were too stuffed to try dessert.) We also appreciated that the noise level was low enough that we could converse without shouting. Compliments to the chef, servers, and all the staff! We will return and recommend highly to others.

    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.

    A night out before a show. Most of us have never been to Grappa. We decided to give grappa, the drink, a try. Our amazing waiter, Ryan, gave us a great education about grappa. It wasn't what we anticipated, and we were still curious, so he offered us all a tasting. The food came quick and was plenty to share and take some home. It was a little chilly, but other than that, it was a great place for a fun dinner.
