“ 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. ”
“ 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 ”
“ We had a large group. They were very accommodating of our group. Even with the set menu options they have for large groups, they made accommodations for some of our group members' dietary needs. The staff was polite and helpful, and very attentive. It was a great experience over all. ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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! ”
“ Update March 2025- 5 stars! What an incredible experience here. We came here for our good friend's birthday and we had a party of 9. Our other friend contacted the owners and they offered to make a curated menu according to my friends' budget. It was absolutely amazing, the flavors were incredible, and the hospitality is unlike any other place we have been to. True Italian establishment and to top it off, they do not accept tips as that is offensive in Italy. We will be back time and time again! And of course, the best wine list you can find! Really lovely experience at Veneto for my birthday! Such a cute, fancy, and quaint atmosphere. The staff is excellent! Big wine selection and great beef tartare. I haven't liked beef tartare before until I tried theirs. In terms of flavor profiles, I wish there were more sauces and flavors with the dishes but that isn't the true Italian way from what I understand, so I don't hold it against them. Very authentic. They also gave me a box of delicious house-made almond cookies that I LOVEDDDD. Definitely worth a try. Super romantic. ”
“ 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) ”
“ 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. ”
