Via Veneto - Reviews

I had an absolutely unforgettable night at this place! The owner is a lovely person, and we even sang Beatles songs together, specifically 'Norwegian Wood' 😉. The food is great, and the wine is always flowing! Cheers, I'll see you guys again soon.

If you love authentic Italian food with an old-classic and welcoming Italian style of service, this is your place. The Chianti wines are good for an affordable price tag, and the owner provides a personal touch. This is now my go-to Italian restaurant in our neighborhood 🤍.

What an experience at this restaurant! It's a true Trattoria, one of the few remaining gems. It was a delightful surprise. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was wonderful. Bravo! Congratulations! 👏 👏 👏 👏

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic. The old school atmosphere is the best, and Massimo is such a great host. He was busy fixing drinks, taking orders, and busting tables, running around like a teenager. Thank you for a great evening with my wife. 🥃

My experience at this local neighborhood Italian restaurant was a pleasant dining experience. The old school style service, complete with written checks, and the friendly staff made it a truly enjoyable visit. I loved it here!

Via Veneto is a true San Francisco gem! The ambiance here is so inviting—charming, cozy, and perfect for a relaxing evening out. The warm, welcoming atmosphere really enhances the experience. Massimo, the owner and host, is incredibly hospitable and always makes us feel at home. His attention to detail and care for his guests are truly exceptional. On our recent visit, we had a reservation for four, but when we showed up with five people, they were more than happy to accommodate us—even though the place was bustling. That kind of service is hard to find these days! Now, the food—WOW. We ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo, Rack of Lamb, Gnocchi, and the Pink Sauce Ravioli, which was a daily special, and let me tell you, it was out of this world. The Fettuccine Alfredo was creamy and rich, the Rack of Lamb was perfectly cooked with a delicious sear, and the Gnocchi was light and pillowy. But the star of the show was definitely the Pink Sauce Ravioli. It had such a fantastic depth of flavor, with the perfect balance of creaminess and tang, and was honestly one of the best pasta dishes I've had in a long time. Every bite was pure bliss! Massimo also suggested a wonderful wine pairing for each of our dishes, and he nailed it every time. If you're craving authentic Italian cuisine in a cozy, welcoming setting, Via Veneto is a must-visit. Can't wait to return!

My favorite mom & pop restaurant in SF. The food was excellent, and the service was excellent. It's a lovely Italian restaurant perfect for family dinners or dates. This is my new favorite mom & pop spot for Italian in SF. I brought my parents here for my father’s 80th birthday, and they enjoyed the veal dishes, which were excellent. The adorable couple running the place made us feel at home 💕. The atmosphere was cozy, and there were even holiday carolers that evening. It's a great spot for a post-shopping dinner!

My experience at this restaurant was exceptional, very likely the best meal we were served during our recent visit to San Francisco. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the ragu was savory and delicious. I offer my highest recommendation.

Our experience at this fantastic restaurant on a vibrant street was truly amazing. We stopped here on our honeymoon and had an amazing dinner. The service was genuine and generous, making it a very pleasant evening for us. The gnocchi was the best one we’ve had! If we lived in San Francisco, we would definitely go back every week!

My experience at this restaurant was exceptional. I found it to be a REAL Italian restaurant, offering excellent food and great service. The atmosphere was also top-notch, contributing to a truly memorable dining experience.
