Venetos is in Oceanside. The building is old , it is a local northern Italian restaurant. It is on the small side, for the size of the restaurant it does have a big bar. The service was good . The food was good also. The owner was there serving and cleaning. He is nice but does have a bit too much of a sarcasm.
The one thing missing from all of the Italian restaurants we've visited so far, is a veal canelloni ... something we've missed since leaving St Louis. But, this place.had been on my husbamds radar for several months, and this was our first visit. We had the lasagna, garlic knots (they are HUGE) and then tiramisu for dessert. Everything really good (the tiramisu was divine!). And, while the sauce could have been a tad more "spiced up" for me, my hubby proclaimed that this is his new fave Italian restaurant. It wasn't busy so the service was extremely prompt, the plating was beautiful & our waiter was very friendly. The atmosphere was wonderful. There are several more dishes on the menu that we want to try, so we'll definitely be back.
Delizioso! We've been meaning to come here for a while, and wish we had come sooner. The restaurant is beautifully decorated so it feels like you're in north eastern Italy (Veneto), and plays music that suits the ambiance. The food though. I cannot stop talking about the food. My husband's demeanor changed when he took a bite of the lasagna. It blew him away - he said "It's better than anything we had in Italy" and I agree. The lasagna was superb! I had the cheese ravioli with meat sauce, and I couldn't get over the SAUCE alone! It had a gentle spice to it which tasted completely different from the lasagna sauce. I wanted to take a container of it home. They have a wonderful selection of wines and desserts- the Tiramisu is fantastic! Tiramisu is my favorite dessert, and I thought I'd never have tiramisu as good as what I had in Rome. This one compared and it's a lot closer! Possibly most importantly, the food is high quality. Normally if I eat until I need to roll home, I feel terrible shortly thereafter. That didn't happen here. The food is so well-prepared that we were able to eat to our heart's content and walk out with huge smiles. Both of our entrees were around $20. Many have raved about the garlic knots, and they were also great and came with fantastic marinara. Visit this place. It's so good. I cannot wait to go back.
This restaurant is amazing and it’s authentic Italian food. I’m from Chicago and it’s very hard to find an authentic Italian restaurant in SoCal like we have in Chicago. It reminds me of home. The staff here are incredible and make you feel very welcome. I can’t wait to take my family here when they visit.
From the owner, servers, and chefs.... this restaurant was the best! Everyone was friendly when you stepped in the door. Service was on point! And food was amazing!!! I had the Lasagna. My husband created his own specialized Spaghetti that wasn't on the menu. We will definitely be back when we visit Oceanside.
Small dining area so a little close to other tables. Sunday was busy so took some time to get seated and such... overall a single or couple dinning place. Saw a few families there but the looked out of place as mostly older and couples dining. Neat looking inside lots of pictures and decorations from the past, gives it a good atmosphere. My food was hot and fresh, but not my favorite thus far.
I enjoy this restaurant home made sauce and the Tiramisu is one of the best one I have ever had. So delicious.... yeah I took a bite out of the Tiramisu before I took a picture. Couldn't help myself.
From the moment we walked in (our 1st time) the restaurant is quaint, murals on the wall, mood lighting, votives and the food was delicious! Had the Cappelli bolognese and caprese salad and finished with the BEST housemade tiramisu ever! A most go, a must try! We will surely return!
