Great experience. This place was recommended to my by my hairdresser so we decided to try it out. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. First the service was great. From the moment we walked in we were treated with a very warm welcome. We started with the seafood salad and the crab salad (special) both were very good. The instálate di mare (seafood salad) was very fresh and seasoned very nicely. The crab salad special was served over half an avocado and on top of arugula salad. It was delicious! Next I had the scalippina di Vitello (veal scaloppini) it was delicious. Very thinly sliced veal with nice seasoning over spinach and roasted potatoes. I work definitely get this again. My husband got the Rigatoni alla sorrenetina. It was also delicious. Considering that it was a simple rigatoni dish with red sauce and cheese, it was very good! We will be returning. John was amazing. Very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the cannoli and crème brûlée as a final taste. It is BYOB with. I corkage fee and the have a nice outdoor patio covered by a tent on the back. Also very affordable considering all we ate. Cannot wait to return!

Let me save you the trouble of reading this entire review by cutting to the chase. This restaurant is simply awful. I ordered take out from here about a month ago and my guest and I barely ate anything we brought home. The amatriciana pasta was a disaster and the rest of the order was equally horrible. Take out can be hit-or-miss though, so tonight I decided to try dining there in person. Much to my surprise, it was even worse, in fact unbelievably so! My dinner guest and I were dumbfounded that a restaurant can operate so unprofessionally. The place itself is cozy, even charming, but a total disaster both in front of the house and in the kitchen. First, we ordered appetizers and the stuffed mushrooms, seafood salad and fennel salad took almost 45 minutes to arrive. The stuffed mushrooms were a pleasant surprise with a nice cream sauce and tasty sausage stuffing with a bit of a zing. The seafood and fennel salads were fine also. However, the fennel salad we barely touched, and the serve simply threw it out without asking if we would like to have it wrapped. When we finished with the appetizers, it took forever for the waiter to be found to take our main course orders which we decided to wait on. When he finally did arrive, he informed us that the kitchen was about to close. If that was the case, why was he nowhere to be found to take our entrée orders??? So finally, we ordered the ricotta gnocchi and the red snapper marechiara. The waiter took our orders then returned from the kitchen and informed us that the restaurant had run out of tomatoes and tomato sauce, and that we couldn't order anything with either! That eliminated ninety percent of the menu! Have you ever heard of Italian restaurant running out of tomatoes??? This was a first for both of us! How in the hell does an Italian restaurant run out of tomatoes and tomato sauce? Incompetent owner? Poor management? Incompetent chef? Apparently at Trattoria Via Veneto, All of the above! Trying to make the best of a bad situation, my girlfriend asked if she could have gnocchi with the same cream sauce that the stuffed mushrooms had been served with. The waiter checked with the kitchen and came back to inform us that they had run out of cream also. So, we requested the snapper with a white clam sauce since that does not require the tomatoes needed to make a marechiara sauce. The waiter took our orders only to return and tell us that they had run out of snapper. So, we requested the branzino and were informed that they had run out of that as well! Turned out all they had left was flounder, so just wanting to eat something and for this dining disaster to be over, we agreed. This took about a half hour to arrive. Where was the owner through all of this? He was just sitting at a table, enjoying a drink, not concerned in the least about his operation, through all of this. He is quite arrogant and thinks he is doing you a great favor by allowing you the honor of dining at his establishment. Make no mistake, starting with the attitude of the owner, this is a restaurant that could care less about your satisfaction as a customer. I grew up literally a half mile from this restaurant in Nutley and it is a shame that this establishment tries to pawn itself off a professionally run business. Don't waste your time and money dining at Trattoria Via Veneto, there are so many better options in the immediate vicinity.
