Via Veneto

Amazing food and service - outdoor patio is wonderful. Highly recommend stopping by for a casual or sophisticated night.

10/10

I've walked by Via Veneto too many times and always said I would stop in. Tonight I finally did. From the moment we walked in the staff was incredibly friendly, accommodated our request to sit outside (which is incredibly nice), and was super attentive the whole time. The portions are large and delicious. I would 100% come back and recommend this to my friends and family. At times I felt like I was in Italy. 10/10

I've been to Via Veneto a few times now and have had nothing but good experiences!

To start off, the atmosphere is great. The staff is very nice and the service is good. Most of all, I really appreciate the chill, laid back nature of this restaurant. Some other restaurants on Fillmore are more bustling and require reservations days in advance, whereas you can roll up to Via Veneto and have a solid meal without having to deal with the crowds.

Also important, the food is good. The first few times I went (in late 2022 and early 2023) they had a large binder menu and everything I tried in there was great. Since then, they have narrowed down the menu to one page but I still enjoyed my order of the Butternut Squash Ravioli. My favorite (their amazing Fettuccine Alfredo) wasn't on the most recent menu, so I hope they bring this one back soon.

I also want to mention that this restaurant has a beautiful, calm, and low-key outdoor patio in the back! This is super nice if you are still Covid cautious or just if you looking for something a bit quieter. Sometimes it has been closed, so if this is important to you I would recommend calling in advance.

Overall, Via Veneto is a hidden gem on Fillmore St and I'm excited to go back. Please bring back the Fettuccine Alfredo though :)

Absolutely underrated restaurant! The food was so good and great portion, especially compared to the other Italian food on Fillmore. Also the staff was amazing, there were tons of regulars going in and out which is always a great sign. Will be going back pronto

The owner treats you like family. The food is incredible and they always have space for more guests. No matter how busy they are they always make room for more.

Kind of a odd spot among the more bougie establishments along Fillmore street! It seems like this spot is trying to emulate a more classy Italian restaurant vibe, but the interior and decor left a lot to be desired.

That being said, our service was great and the food was good.

The complimentary bread was perhaps the best I've had in a while, the go above and beyond by providing olive oil with crushed garlic.

We ordered bruschetta for the table, which was okay. It was a little too simple for my taste, as the topping seemed to have not much more than just tomato.

I ordered the fettuccine alla norma, which had eggplant in a tomato sauce. I really enjoyed this, and was pleased that they offered vegetarian dishes that go beyond just pasta with sauce.

I'd recommend Via Veneto for a casual meal!

Well it was cold outside so they let me sit at bar. Met friend there. Been on Fillmore for 37years. Had veal what a treat and reasonably priced. Gloria had shrimp. Came with veggies and potatoes. Really tasty. Nice local place.

Came back to this restaurant 8 years later and it was even better than I remembered! I had been dreaming of their fettuccine and bruschetta for years, I had to reorder it. We also got the parpadelle bolognese and the salmon piccata which were also outstanding. The service was top notch. Our server provided us with phenomenal recommendations and was very attentive and entertaining. The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and welcoming. I will continue to dream of the meal I had here and will return whenever I'm back in the city.

The best Italian food in SF. I am not a huge fan of mushrooms, but I can eat the Teste Di Funghi Farcite all day!

Rolando was phenomenal and brought us some great wines!

Great place with authentic ambience. The food has homemade Italian flavor I'm looking for, the staff are quick/attentive and humorous. We had a family birthday dinner with 8 people and everything was flawless. We ordered a few different pastas for our mains and each and single one of them was delicious!! I would definitely recommend this place and will return.
