One of the most fabulous meals I ever had in Santa Monica. Perfect pasta, soft shell crabs from heaven and a wine choice from our server, that set new heights in the white wine realm. Kudos Via Veneto.

Nothing special at all. Food was basic ,I had much much better Italian dishes for 1/3 of s price . Ya , nice chandeliers and all that but price is ridiculous….. Desperato…….. Waiters are pushy, for a $1000 bill and 6 of us , they just wanted to turn the table quick …. Not going there again.

Superb place. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. We had crabcakes, mushroom risotto, lobster ravioli and some wine. Everything was cooked perfectly, the risotto was spot on. I took more photos, but just go, plenty of outdoor seating! We will be back.

Exceptional Italian food in Santa Monica. Upscale dining with exquisitely plated dishes. Order the tasting menu for some of the appetizers. See second picture. If you want to treat yourself to some rich, and very curated, authentic Italian food this is your best bet. Very respectable wine catalog. Don’t expect to spend less than $100 usd on a bottle of wine. The Italian waiter who served us was exceptional and added facts and creative descriptions to the dishes we ordered. Dress appropriately.
