Quality ingredients, taste the difference! This place is great! Tasty homemade food! The calamari was sooo tender! It’s not all perfect, the mushrooms were kinda bland. The staff is incredible! We had a party of 11 and the food came out so fast and the servers were always asking if we needed anything. Overall take your favorite person out to dinner here!

I haven’t been to this restaurant in over 15 years and I always remembered the food being quite delicious but after dining here with my sister Gina last night for an early Buona Pasqua supper I can honestly say that the food was absolutely luscious and on point to the point of being superlative and that is coming from an Italian-American man who was lucky enough to grow up enjoying food prepared by some pretty amazing cooks especially my late mother Carole who loved this place and also my late maternal grandmother Francesca therefore I just want to thank everyone who is a part of this restaurant for not only cooking their food with the same level of love but also for the impeccable service and the welcoming atmosphere that made me feel like I was having Sunday dinner with my entire family like we used to do every weekend once upon a time in the 1970’s. Yeah, I’m that old. Unsolicited testimonial and until the next time, folks, Salute ✌

Great restaurant! Food is amazing! Very mom and pop. Owner is right there working behind the kitchen. Family owned and the food is fresh. They make everything from scratch. Food is gonna take a little while but it so worth the wait! Went with my 4 daughters and wife. We had a bunch of different appetizers and many dishes. Big portions! Everything is great and made with love! Really love this place! Wish I lived closer to it. Highly reccomend!

Really great food and very very nice people working there. They always give a little extra. Whether it’s a soda or a dessert just a nice token to let you know they appreciate your business. I’ve never been disappointed with the food

La Venere was very good. I normally don’t like going out on Holidays for dinner. For the fact that the workers seem overwhelmed and want to be home with their own families that day, but here they handled it well. Food was very good. Full menu offered. Complimentary pizza for our family of 15. Will definitely be back!

This was our first time at La Venere but it definitely won’t be the last. The food was excellent and came out piping hot from the kitchen. Our server could not have been more helpful or accommodating and, although the seating area is small, you don’t feel crowded in the least.

We have gone to La Venere’s forever. i was there with friends this past Wednesday night. We were given the salads before the appetizers, something they never did before. I wanted to have my bread with my meal and it was whisked away so fast I didn’t have time to tell the waiter I wanted it. We had the appetizer of broccoli rabe with sausage and it was taken away before we knew what was happening and before we even finished it! We were handed the bill before the desserts even came! We were told to take our time but had enough at that point. We felt rushed. The restaurant wasn’t overly crowded so I don’t know why they were rushing. It was not our usual dining experience at this restaurant. I don’t think we’ll be back there any time in the near future. There are other restaurants in the area!
