Excellent service and delicious food- great ambiance in a small dining area but everything we ate was special. Will be back !

Gréât value ans some interesting dishes. I didn't have a reservation, dined alone and was well taken care of. Waiter recommended some nice dishes. I like the model of 1,2,3,4 courses. Allows you to try different dishes. Portions are reasonable. Service was efficient and polite. Wine by the glass portion not great. But maybe as an American I'm used to bigger portions of wine? Don't know. All in all a solid place. read more

Great Italian restaurant near The Langham. Very clean. Accommodated large party. Ordered lots of dishes to share and enjoyed everything. Authentic tastes and very affordable including wine list. Nice choice for close to the hotel. read more

See all

I made my booking online and it was easy to get a table on short notice. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout considering how busy it was for a Saturday evening. The menu structure is clever in design: you pay by the dishes ordered up to four. The dishes came relatively fast and they were well executed. My recommendation is the liver as a main course. I would recommend this restaurant based on the value for the money spent as it was reasonably priced. The interior is nice and warm although a little cozy and loud for my liking. read more

2 Veneti - Italian Near Me - London, XGL

This is a wonderful Venetian restaurant not too far from Oxford Circus that offers authentic wines and dishes from the region. The service is always great as is the food and I'd very highly recommend this place for food lovers. My meals here are consistently excellent and reasonably priced. Special thank you to the manager and staff who were SO CARING when my wife felt the effects of dehydration and the heat. That's when you know it's real. I cannot thank you enough. read more

I have to preface this review by saying that various things prevented me from having a great experience here, and though that might not be the restaurant's fault - this is my personal anecdotal review. I was invited last minute to what turned out to be a senior management meeting - I was called up because my big big boss wanted to tell me something and figured that a nice meal to go along with it in the company of big shots might be enjoyable too. The atmosphere of the place was very enjoyable and set the mood quite well, a very old school feel to it. I went with the chicken liver pate as a starter and then the calf liver as the main - at the suggestion of the waiter (who was very convincing and definitely knows what he's talking about - and is very adamant about a dish being served a certain way). The chicken liver pate was most excellent, but I couldn't handle both the chicken and calf liver in one go. The calf liver was very nicely grilled, but overall it was a bit too much liver for me for one meal. Because I had recently suffered a concussion - so I was on a strict no alcohol diet, which precluded me from enjoying in the wine, limoncello, and grappa during and following the meal. Overall, I believe had I ordered appropriately and been able to indulge, it would have been a 4-star meal. But, due to circumstances, I shall give it 3 for now with a promise to return and give it another go. read more

Wow what a great experience, our hotel (The Langham) concierge recommended. I am usually not a fan of concierge recommendations but they nailed it. The owner Simon was awesome, the food fantastic, very nice wine selection. Definitely worth it and very close to hotel especially if tored from a day if seeing this beautiful city. Bravo Simon and thank you! read more

2 Veneti in Marylebone does tasty Italian food and combines it with a matching wine list and friendly service. On a warm evening, I walked into Italian restaurant 2 Veneti in the heart of Marylebone and soon was given some good bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar - just as you would expect from a decent Italian place. Looking through the wine list, I decided to go for something special - an Italian sparkling wine, spumante, produced like a champagne. It was a great dry and fresh wine, excellent to kick off my little dinner. As starter, I ordered the wild rocket, pear & parmesan salad with balsamic dressing. Personally, I could have done with a little bit less rocket. The pear was really refeshing and overall it was a delicious dish. Moving on, I went for "bigoli in salsa d'anatra", kind of like thick spaghetti with duck ragout. It was a lovely and light plate of food with a beautiful duck flavour and a tasty sauce. On top of that, the food went very well together with my sparkling wine. Unfortunately, none of the desserts sounded really interesting, so I left without a dessert. 2 Veneti does delicious dishes and offers a good wine list. Its central location makes it a great destination for dinner, for example before going to a concert at nearby Wigmore Hall. read more

Returning "home" to London where I lived for several years - but had been away from for over 15 years - I decided to walk the breadth of the city on a stunning October Saturday afternoon. From Embankment all the way through the City, then Holborn, TCR, towards W1 and my friend's flat on Seymour Street in Marble Arch. It's a loooong way. I was nearly home by 8pm when my feet and lower back screamed "you must sit your ample arse down and eat," so I did.. It was either that or lay across the hood of a London cab and fall asleep. I was challenging myself to keep my cash and *not* give in to a taxi. At the time of said foot/back/arse revolt, I found myself standing in front of a smart but inviting looking bistro where some well dressed front of house people were whizzing around taking care of happy-looking customers - neither all local or tourist, but they had that "we know where we're eating" look... Can a customer table look brainy? What does that even mean? I imagined they were literary agents, economists and artists. I am probably high. Never mind. The tallish fellow seemed relieved when the faint-looking woman with backpack and iPad opted to come indoors (if only to phone a paramedic perhaps). I practically fell into their arms. They gave me a table, a lovely big round table by the window. They treated me like a queen and fed me gorgeous, perfectly prepared food. Venetian pasta for starter, followed by a Fritto Misto that was to DIE for. Light, light, light. Never hovering, they sensed when I needed a bit of something. I asked for lemon for my pasta (an anchovy paste, acquired taste but I love it - needed a bit of acid, and Mr. Tall and Handsome stepped behind the bar, cut a whole, perfectly ripe lemon and presented the entire thing to me on a plate). The whole meal was like this. Simply prepared, perfect ingredients. Expert but non-fussy service. Yes, they do that "Italian man" thing - Senora this etc., very elegant... but *not* cheesy. They have clearly grown up in this business and breathe it naturally. This single woman traveler was treated like a visiting princess - by both the gentleman and the lady wait and host staff. I particularly thanked them for this experience, the woman server especially, and she said "But of course, you deserve a lovely meal, and it's quite normal of course." In her world perhaps, but in my experience it's a bit less common for a single diner to be so cossetted. :) To reward them, I'm taking my host and his mum to dinner there tomorrow. And if my husband puts me out with the cat because I've spent too much, I shall move back to London and ask for a job waiting tables at 2 Veneti. Perche non? read more

I returned here on Saturday night and it is still every bit as good as it always was! The tempura style mixed fish was a delight and the beef carpaccio was tremendous. What a place! read more

Excellent italian food. Has a very good selection of Italian wines. I was pleasantly surprised by the sommelier's recommendation. Service is warm and friendly, just what you'd expect from an Italian restuarant. read more

We just are arrived in London and our hotel recommended 2 Veneti for fresh Italian food. The service was great and the food delightful. We had the rocket and pear salad, linguine and lobster and pan sear sea bass. Everything was hot and flavors enjoyable. read more

I was visiting London and wanted to have dinner with my son, who suggested 2 Veneti. Really such a nice surprise... well-appointed restaurant with good lighting and minimal noise. the menu was great... one of those places where there were enough attractive offerings to really make you think to decide (vs. those restaurants with an extensive menu on which nothing seems appealing!). All pri-fixe for 2 or 3 courses... very well priced. Service was great! Definitely someplace to visit while in London. read more

2 Veniti is an fairly average Italian restaurant. I thought the food was okay (one dish I had was over seasoned) - I believe a good Italian restaurant should have really fresh mozzarella but this wasn't the case. I thought the food was overpriced for the quality. read more

Very pleasant atmosphere with a lovely selection of wines and food. Prix fixe menu for 1-3 courses. The sea bass was cooked to perfection. The dessert to have is either the tort of the day or the chocolate salami. Service was impeccable. read more

Great food and nice old-world style place. Get the 3 or 4 course meal as portions are appropriately smaller. Great wine too.

Came here for dinner on our last night of a work trip in London. Pretty restaurant with a tempting menu. We arrived at 9 o'clock they close at 10:30. I don't think that is too unreasonable. We were seated right away given menus but no wine list. Waiter came after a time did not introduce himself just said are you ready to order? So we said no, can we see a wine list please? he hurried off brought us one and left. A different waiter came round after a time and again just said are you ready to order? So we ordered our bottle of wine but by this point I was not liking the rushed vibe at all. My colleague was eager to try several things on the menu but I felt hesitant because I didn't want to spend any more time there than necessary. The food was okay not amazing. Really pricey for average food and unwelcoming service. The waiter got nicer as the evening continued ...I think it was because he realized there were several tables of people who were there before us who were lingering and not going anywhere for awhile, so he might as well try to change his attitude. But by then I was really over it ...especially compared to the many excellent food and service experiences we had elsewhere in London. read more

2 Veneti has got to be close to being one of the best Italian meals I have had here or in Italia (and I've travelled all over Italy). The only thing that made it a little less than relaxing was the slightly frantic/over exuberant service, it felt as if everything was being done at 100mph and it kind of wore me out just watching it. That isn't to say that it wasn't excellent and extremely welcoming and friendly service, because it was, it just felt as if it could've been turned down a notch. The food was extremely good however with my only slight complaint being the pan fried scallop and pancetta antipasto, although it was tasty I felt the scallops could've had a bit more colour on them to really enhance the flavour. My Primo Piatto of Parmigiana di melanzane was absolutely amazing, a mouth watering heaven of Mozarella and melanzane my only complaint was that it was only a relatively small portion. Next came my Veal scaloppine, at this point you have to understand that I have a thing for veal (Mi piace molto il vitello) and when frequenting Italian restaurants I eat it a lot, saltimbocca alla romana, scaloppina di vitello, milanese I love it, this veal however has to be hands down the best veal I have ever had bar none. The only way I could possibly fault it was to say I could've eaten a lot more but that is purely because I was enjoying it so much I didn't want it to end. My wife's pannacotta and my cheese and port were excellent, lots of variety of cheese including the best Pecorino I've had outside of Sardegna and a pear chutney that was deliciously spiced. This was all topped off with a complimentary grappa, all in all one of the nicest Italian meals I have ever had, although 2 veneti is not quite what you would call fine dining it is certainly close and better than a lot of restaurants I have been to that pitch themselves in that arena. My advice is don't judge them on their website alone as its unbelievable naffness almost put me off the restaurant itself. If you're undecided on where to get your Italian food fix and 2 Veneti is on your short list, give it a go because I doubt you will be disappointed. read more

Very tasty Italian food, attentive service, absolutely price worthy.old world ambience, very nice place.
