    Always a pleasure to dine at Via Veneto. The food is outstanding! We had the veal chop as our main course and in my opinion it is one of the best in the world! And yes, I have tried them all over the world! That having been said, the best part of Via Veneto is the gracious way that they make you feel so special when you dine there. It’s as if they’ve waiting all day for you to arrive.

    **Via Veneto: A Taste of Rome in Santa Monica** Via Veneto in Santa Monica offers a true Roman dining experience with traditional recipes, high-quality ingredients, and impeccable service. From the warm welcome to the elegant ambiance, every detail reflects authentic Italian hospitality. We began with Roman-style zucchini blossoms, scallops in truffle sauce, and octopus Isolana style—each dish bursting with flavor. The standout pasta, spaghetti with sea urchin, delivered a perfect balance of briny richness. The meal ended on a high note with a luxurious tomahawk ribeye, grilled to perfection, and fresh langoustines that captured the essence of the ocean. A highlight of the evening was the wine selection. The sommelier guided us to a rare orange wine from Giglio Island in Tuscany, which paired beautifully with our courses. Via Veneto’s extensive wine list showcases thoughtful curation that caters to every palate. Every moment at Via Veneto feels like a celebration of Italian culture and cuisine. For a taste of Italy paired with refined atmosphere and top-notch service, Via Veneto is an experience worth savoring.

    Best Italian Restaurant in LA! Celebrated my 60th birthday here and I couldn’t have picked a better Italian restaurant. The quality was as good or better than the actual food you eat in Venice, Italy. Can’t wait to come back.
