I judge every restaurant by their Caesar salad….they passed the test! Also, HIGHLY recommend the Fig Blossom cocktail. The balance of flavors was perfect. It was very refreshing & laid back. Not overwhelming with sweetness or acidity. Made for a great double date! It’s very busy & noisy, which isn’t my favorite, but it’s clear that they are a hit with locals!

Was a regular for the last few months. Had a pizza with my wife two nights ago. She and I were ill the entire night. I have never been more sick from a meal in my life. Just now starting to be able to keep fluids down. The experience has completely ruined the place for me.

We eat at Veneto's frequently and always enjoy it. We also have favorite items on the menu and usually order those. We're anxious for the patio to open in the spring. I would like to see angel hair pasta added to the pasta choices, particularly for the excellent Chicken French.

We always have a great time at Veneto. The staff is great and very friendly. The menu is vast, and the specials are always awesome. Something for everyone. We also have a special diet in our family, and the owner/chef, Dan, prepares exactly what we need perfectly every time. I highly recommend Veneto for a night out or special occasions.

We were a little early, but our table was rented and we receded right away. Waitress was very accommodating. Food came within a reasonable amount of time and was hot. This was my treat to two other people and they both enjoyed their meal and would definitely return.

Our first time back since the remodel. Food and service were still exquisite although the warm vibe has cooled a tad with the brick now painted black.

Delicious food! A bit on the pricy side but well worth it especially with the bolognese rigatoni.

This is hands down the best restaurant in Centre city Rochester. You really need to check it out. The Utica greens are insane. I really love their chicken French. The chef, Dan is the real deal.

They just reopened after restoration from a fire. The place looks awesome. Spacious and warm. It was probably 75% capacity in the restaurant (there was no one at the bar, but it was early). I sat at the bar and was pleasantly greeted by Lexi. The place must have good acustics because you were not interrupted by the conversation from the other patrons. I had a glass of the Montepulciano and ordered some food to go. I had their Chicken Saltimbocca. I asked to substitute the spaghetti with fettuccine, which was no problem, and they were happy to accommodate. Sometimes, I wonder how pasta dishes will be as take out. I can honestly say it was one of the best I've had locally, whether eaten in-house or taken home. Oh, I also had the small portion Veneto green leaf salad, which was excellent. They have a very good balsamic dressing.Wheelchair accessibility: Access to the restaurant is straight thru the front door. No step up required.

We chose this restaurant because we had heard good things about it and we weren’t disappointed. We were seated promptly and greeted by a very nice waiter/server. He explained the specials of the evening and took our drink orders. They have a very nice selection of cocktails, wine, beer and even cider. We ordered a large salad for the table and they served homemade bread which we used to dip into the left over dressing. So good. The place is nice with seating near the window and seating at the bar. You can make reservations to sit at the bar. It was a little loud at times but we sat near the windows and I think that helped with reducing the noice. Our food came out promptly and was so delicious and flavorful at the table we got the Pasta Rustica with homemade rigatoni, Prosciutto with peas Alfredo,and a woodfire mushroom pizza. The restaurant was busy and 3 different tables celebrating birthdays but it still was pleasant to be in. I would definitely go back and a reservation is required. Parking requires a $10 fee.Parking: Parking lot on the side of the bldg. you must scan a barcode or use the machine if no attendant on duty. They will ticket you.
