    Lemon filled croissant
    Julia W.

    Amazing! The service and ambiance were amazing and the food was even better! We had pastries at the coffee bar while we waited for the restaurant to open. The staff were so friendly! If you want homemade Italian this is the place for you! We will definitely be going back

    Pork chop does not come with a veg or side. You have to order something a la carte if you want an accompaniment to the chop.

    A Pricey Disappointment It's best to let a negative dining experience go without comment, and simply not return to the same venue, but when you've spent well over $100 on a dinner, sometimes it's worthwhile to warn others so that they can avoid a bad night too. We dined at La Veneta on Thursday, February 13, 2025. I booked a table for four a week ahead of the dinner, but when we showed up, instead of seating us in the actual restaurant which was warm, brightly lit, and convivial, they seated us in the ice cream parlor next door. There was no warning as I booked the reservation indicating that I would not be dining in the restaurant. The ice cream parlor where we were seated was dark, cold, gloomy, and depressing because the ice cream place was closed for the day, and at 6 p.m., it was already dark out. I don't know why we were relegated to this other space, but we did not say anything and tried to make the best of it. We were not the only ones dining at La Veneta in the ice cream parlor. One older couple was really struggling with the uncomfortable chairs, and finally the husband got up and swapped his wife's hard metal chair for an upholstered one from the back of the room. No one noticed. No one cared, and that's a key point about this restaurant. The people who work there seem not to care about the guests, their comfort, or their satisfaction. They just don't care. We were a group of four as I mentioned, and we ordered an $18 Burrata appetizer that comes with 3 crostini. When Burrata arrived, I asked if we could have one more crostini so that each of us at the table could have one, and they said no. I'm not kidding. They said no. I had to order a basket of bread just so that all of the diners at the table could get a crostini. The bread was eaten and enjoyed, and the bread was good, but again, how does this make sense? Why didn't the server tell us when we ordered the appetizer that the app was designed for 3 diners, not 4. She could have told us up front as we were ordering. Anyway, back to the dining experience. Two of us got the chicken cutlet, one person ordered pasta, and the remaining member of our party ordered the pork chop. The pork chop was the best item of the three. The pasta was a huge disappointment. You could make better at home with a jarred sauce and store brand pasta. The chicken cutlet was the size of a shoe, extending beyond the edge of the plate. It was OK, but just OK. You could make a better chicken cutlet at home yourself and you wouldn't have to deal with receiving only one thin lemon wedge to squeeze on top of it. You could have the multiple lemon slices needed for the chicken. One recommendation for improvement would be to use the ice cream parlor as a pizza place. It already kind of gives pizza joint vibes. As for now though, if you like dining in an unheated, dimly lit, and closed ice cream parlor, then La Veneta is for you. (We had to wear our coats the entire meal and we weren't the only ones.) If you like being nickeled and dimed over a piece of bread, then La Veneta is for you. If you want to pay top dollar for mediocre Italian-style food, then again, this restaurant is for you.

    Appetizer- Arancini.. Nice flavor and texture.  The sauce was tasty. ( 8/10 )

    We went to the annual fall festival on the square of downtown Gallatin today and come upon this restaurant. I don't know if they changed their regular business hours for this festival, but from what I have found they are only open for Dinner. Now to the review. I gave it a 5 star. The staff were awesome, the service was very good and the food was flavorful and came out in a timely manner. You can see the kitchen no matter where you sit in the dining area. I saw some beers on tap. I'm not sure about a wine menu. The menu is small and simple. Appetizers, salads, pasta and some dishes with meat and desserts. Moderately priced. One thing I noticed is that you can pick between 4 different pastas and top the pasta with your choice between 5 different sauces which I really liked. This business just opened around 10 weeks ago and has a coffee shop connected to it that does a Sunday brunch. I recommend it and I love supporting local businesses and communities.

    I've had their dinner (5 stars) and have now visited for brunch. I am really rooting for this place. Brunch was delicious!!!

    Basque cheesecake and limoncello cake.  We couldn't wait for the picture before digging in.

    The good and service were fantastic! The biggest problem was eyes bigger than our stomachs.

    Undercooked chicken they served me
    Marieta W.

    My husband and I ate here a little over a week ago. We were sat a minute or two after we walked in. We were sat on the side with the coffee bar. It took a little while for our server to get to us but we just figured that they could be short staffed. We weren't in a hurry so it wasn't a problem. I ordered the fettuccine and added the chicken for an extra charge of $14. I had the burrata appetizer so by the time my entree came, I wasn't as hungry so I decided to package the rest up and take it home. Today I brought it to work for my lunch. Half way through eating my grilled chicken breast, I bite into it and it is spongy. I take a closer look and it's raw in the middle. So now I'm immediately scared I'm going to get sick. I've taken a bite of chicken that this restaurant did not fully cook and has also been in my refrigerator for a couple days. I am so upset that I didn't catch this health hazard at the restaurant. I would have asked for my money back. I do intend to alert the health department. A mistake like this puts people's lives at risk. If you are going to undercook anything, don't let it be the chicken!!! See attached photos and video. If you eat there be sure to thoroughly inspect your food. I will not be dining there again. Best of luck to those of you who want to take your chances here.

Nothing was authentic ie. Italian French or Brazilian ! Very disappointed bc we all were looking forward to it and yet we walked away with empty tummy's and FULL to go boxes and a HEFTY BILL! 2.

Their soup of the day was spinach potato with parmesan. I did taste the soup and it was delicious. I didn't get a dessert this time, wanted to order their limoncello and mascarpone cake but unfortunately they did not have any today. I did take a picture of their dessert case cause their tiramisu cheesecake looked so good.

Perfect for a casual date night or a family dinner. I'd happily come back again!

Our waitress was incredibly friendly and had some great drink recommendations. I went with their take on a gimlet with lavender and it was very well balanced. My sister got some sort of old fashioned and enjoyed it as well! We started with the fried ravioli (good, but nothing incredible) and bread service (meh). I was nervous at this point but I shouldn't have been! Our salads came next and they were incredibly fresh and flavorful, as well as a large portion! I got their cavatappi in cream sauce and my sister went with the pork. Both dishes were fresh, hot, well-balanced and large! I LOVE that they use chicken thigh for their protein add-on - super flavorful and moist. We were stuffed, so no dessert this time, but I will definitely be back next time I'm in town!
