VENETO Ristorante Italiano

I have been wanting to try this place for years, and it did not disappoint! The portions are small, but all of the foods are super unique and flavorful. My personal favorites were the tartare, gnocchi, tortellini, and affogato. The gnocchi was so creamy and smoky, I've never tasted anything like it. They have some kind of special smoky flavor they add that (I think) is from Italy. The server described it much better, lol. The affogato... probably the best I've ever had. They add a crunchy cake to it, in addition to the espresso and ice cream that make it so unique. I will definitely be back to try other items after I sell my left kidney for some extra spending money. (Joke)

Authentic!!! Food, people, and ambiance were above and beyond!! We didn't have reservations and they made a space for us. We sat on the front porch for a perfect, private dinner for our first night in Salt Lake City. Staff was extremely attentive and made wonderful recommendations! Every bite was delicious!

Small, cozy little Italian restaurant serving up delicious food with excellent service. They offer an a la carte menu as well as a tasting menu. I wish we could have done the full tasting menu, but we just tried a number of the pastas. The burrata and Parma ham was excellent, and all the pastas were had were great too...really enjoyed the cacio e pepe. The service was very attentive, authentic and friendly. The food was a bit slow coming out...but was not a bother...just beware if your looking for a fast meal. Wine lust was quite extensive and plenty of by the glass options too. There was 3 tables outside on the porch, but were booked all night. We ate inside which was cozy. Would definitely go back and would like to try a lot more.

This is where you can go in Salt Lake City to enjoy a seasonally updated tasting menu with wine pairings that is always excellent. Of course the regular menu is wonderful as well and the extensive wine list is full of bottles I’ve not seen anywhere else in Utah. There’s no other place like Veneto around here. I’ll also note that I have some food allergies which can be difficult to navigate, but they’ve always easily modified the dishes for me if necessary.

Went here for the Valentines tasting menu. 4 courses with the wine pairings, and each course had the option to choose from 2 items. My partner and I each got something different so we could try all the dishes. The experience was 2 hours, but unfortunately the food came out in weird increments. For the first hour and fifteen minutes we were only served one course. The other three were squished into the remaining 45 minutes. The plates were small, which is not a problem for a tasting menu, but there was such a lack of flavor. We understand the simplicity of northern Italian food, but at a $400 price tag I wish anything packed a punch. Our octopus dish came out cold, our chocolate cake came out burnt and crumbly. We couldn’t finish either dish and I went home with a stomach ache. I expected much more due to the good reviews and expensive price tag. We are pretty big on tasting / prix fixe menus and this unfortunately was a big miss. I would avidly not reccommed.

Excellent dining experience. Come here to enjoy an Italian dining experience. The Service, atmosphere, wine selection and food are all top notch. If you are looking to blast through a meal this is not the place. If you are looking to sit back and enjoy everything Veneto has to offer come check it out, set aside a few hours sit back and have fun. You will not be disappointed

I wanted to try a nicer higher end experience for my sister and I because we like to try new foods and experiences and this is like once in a lifetime thing for us. We went in knowing it was going to be on the pricer side, but I will admit this is the most expensive restaurant I have ever been to in my entire life. We did enjoy our food for the most part besides a couple thing's we were kind of disappointed in especially for the price of this place. Also, it is a very small intimate setting, which is cute, but can be very loud, which makes it hard to talk to someone else. Over all it was a decent experience.

This is definitely a next level higher end dining experience. From the greeting at the door(the host was waiting to open the door for us) till we left(the server waited to help put on our jackets) the experience was impeccable. Definitely do the full course meals experience with the wine pairing. I’ve been here before and did the a la cart option and I so much more enjoyed myself. It’s expensive but it’s an experience for the tastebuds and will leave you feeling satiated and very satisfied. Ever course was super tasty and interesting and the service was top notch. You have to experience this for yourself.
