    My mom lived in the area and Venere is our go to place every time I visit. We know we are sure to get a great meal, great service and that we will have a great time. It looks like many others feel the same way! Don’t forget to ask about the specials!

    The restaurant was quite busy when we arrived but our reservation was quickly honored on time. The start to the evening was a bit bumpy with the server not coming to the table . A woman came over to advise the specials but was unclear about a few of them and had to check. When our waiter came over he told me we couldn’t open the wine I brought- policy of the restaurant. Only 60 days earlier we dined there and were charged a corkage fee…so a bit confusing. We ordered cocktails and had a very nice dinner but not sure the waiter was correct. Didn’t press him on it

    It was my first time at this restaurant. The veal chop and the veal sorrentino were delicious. The service was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    The food and ambience were nice and very enjoyable. The only area that can use some improvement was the weight staff. We had to ask for cocktails twice Service was slow.

    Venere is one of my favorites! The food is always excellent, the wait staff friendly and efficient and the value not to be compared!

    Value, service, and food was outstanding. Noise level was a little bit high. Music was a little loud, causing people to talk louder, raising the noise level. Good overall, will return.

    Reliably good Italian food. Good menu selections and variety (including vegetarian selections). Service is good, too, but prices have risen dramatically in the last few years.
