Veneto Trattoria

To start I am going to say that our service was less than stellar from our waitress - she forgot to put our salad in and so we never got it. She did not return to check on us. However, it seemed that she was either new or otherwise occupied or was just not a great service provider to begin with. I will still give this place a 5 star review because everything else was INCREDIBLE! The service received from the hostess was wonderful - she was especially attentive and funny. I had a special dish - tagliatelle with shrimp, mushrooms, tomatoes in a Rosa cream sauce - one of the best dishes I ever had. My husband had the pork raviolis and was equally pleased. We shared a bottle of wine and desserts - affogato and tiramisu. Both were delicious but the tiramisu was exceptional. We have never experienced it served the way it was and we order it out often because it is my husband’s favorite. Overall a superb experience and meaningful since it was a celebration for my husband’s birthday. We are from northeast Pennsylvania but if we are ever back in Scottsdale, this will be on the list for sure. Lastly, we found the prices to be reasonable - another plus!

Great overall dining experience! Dimly lit, intimate Italian restaurant. Came for my partners birthday and Will took great care of us. The capriani was fantastic; they also had a watermelon salad special which was bright and fresh. My partner got the fettuccini al Sugo d’anitra was our favorite. Overall not super intense flavor. My partner got the ossobuco which he was not crazy about. Great wines and cocktails. Owner was very welcoming. I would come back!

Great restaurant! Service was amazing, thanks to Willis! Would definitely come back here again and will recommend to friends and family.

incredible italian dining experience. you have to go with the Chicken Milanese. the food is home cooked, the service is phenomenal and the staff have all been here for years. they are so welcoming and friendly and you can’t go wrong with any dish here

Tried this place from a friend's suggestion. They had been several years ago and said it was real deal Italian. It was OK. It's one of those places that probably was at its best 20 years ago and now just goes through the motions. I also got the impression they treat the oldie regulars differently than the rest of the crowd, which if I was a regular I would appreciate, so no complaints. A harsh tone to the dinner was set by the hostess. I'm guessing she is related to the owner because she should not be customer facing. Personality of a drill Sargent. Perfect for a back of the house type role. Our waitress was a tad nicer, but not by much. But she was efficient! The other staff were on point!! Never had to ask for anything! I was very impressed! Cocktails were great! Bread was amazing! Food was good. Another person in our party and myself had dishes that had a side of mashed potatoes. I would bet my house they were from a box. Really did not fit with the rest of the food. But otherwise it was good. The vibe was definitely authentic Italian! Very cool decor, pictures, lighting. If you live in the area and haven't been, I'd definitely try it out. If you are visiting Scottsdale and only have a few days, I'd probably skip this one bc I think there are better options.
