Rigatoni
lee m.

Great restaurant!! Was reffered here and now I'll be doing the referring. Cant wait to get back. Food was out of this world!! Atmosphere was perfect. Nutley always needed a restaurant like this.

Maggie M.

I knew I would leave a review as soon as I stepped in. The people here were incredibly accommodating to my partner and I. We were riding our bikes in town and were hungry. Seeing that they had outdoor seating in the back of the restaurant we asked if there was somewhere we could place our bikes while we ate. We didn't have any bike locks for outside so they gracious offered a special spot of us to safely park them. The food and ambiance was excellent and the people so kind. Definitely recommend.

Rigatoni allá sorrentina - delicious
Keyla S.

We've been here a few times now and the consistency of the food is spot on. So delicious. We have a few favorite dishes we come for and they always have amazing (different) specials which makes it difficult in deciding what to get. The good news is that it's all delicious. You won't be disappointed. The service is great. John is amazing and the staff is very friendly. The outdoor patio is very nice and the heaters makes it even better to allow you to continue enjoying outdoor eating as the weather gets a little cooler.

Lasagna
Brian V.

Excellent food, great service, perfect ambiance. Loved it and will definitely go back. This picture of the lasagna doesn't do it justice. It was large and the taste was perfect.

Calamari. Amazing
Diana M.

I keep wanting to try places in town, so this was on my list. Driving by, you would never know this place existed. The storefront is very small. When you walk in, it's bigger than I had expected. For apps, we got the grilled calamari (amazing) in this red sauce, and my husband got the long hots. Service was top notch- always checking in on us. For dinner I got the steak which was good, but I regret not getting seafood because my husband got the black ink seafood dish and it looked like perfection. They supposedly have a outdoor area in the back, but we did not go there because it was too cold. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for good Italian.

Welcome  Best coffee ever
Ingrid P.

Greatness does not happened overnight, it's an epic journey that will always set you apart from the rest. G.O.A.T. ever‼ Like Jordan, Serena, Jeter, Brady & Trattoria Via Veneto If you're looking for authentic, elegantly & deliciously prepared food straight out of Italy ; you must grace your presence now. You want to get spoiled with their stellar service, treated like royalty you so deserved as the delectable food tantalize your waiting palate...as the waiters & waitresses move like poetry in motion just to serve you; the time is now to visit. BTW - I highly recommend this incredible restaurant

Chicken meatballs
Pete B.

We were in the mood for Italian food after a long day of baseball and after looking on my handy dandy Yelp app, we landed here. We opted to sit outdoors being that it was a nice night and the outdoor patio is so nice. Everything is nice and spread out and very comfortable. Service was bar none. Everyone was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and efficient. You felt right at home the entire time. It was a "specials" kind of night for us. For appetizers, we got the chicken meatballs in a pink sauce and the grilled Italian long hots, sausage and potatoes which were out of this world. For dinner, I also went with the special. I had the homemade fettuccine with grilled salmon, portobello mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, fresh mozz in a pink cream sauce. Completely phenomenal. My wife had the Ziti with broccoli rabe and Sausage. I was too full to even try it. My son had the Ziti with marinara which the gentleman helping us boasted that they have the best marinara in the area. For dessert, I got the Lemoncello cake which was completely on point, my wife got the chocolate mousse cake and our son had the chocolate Gelato. If you're in the area and in the mood for Italian food, this is a must hit.

Only eaten here one other time. Neighborhood eats!! Restaurant is cozy and has approximately 12/13 tables. They also have backyard seating in the warmer weather which Is supposed to be very nice. We ordered the sausage stuffed long hots over greens. What an amazing flavor they had. They alone get 5 stars. Pasta Fagioli soup was delicious. Spaghetti with manila clams in white wine sauce. Fantastic!! Had about a dozen or so clams!! Pork chop with potatoes, peppers and onions. Cooked perfectly. Juicy inside and flavorful. Spaghetti with Marinara sauce was also good ( good size for kids) Service was excellent!! Our waiter was great!! It's a BYOB TOO!! Had a excellent dinner!!

I have passed this place so many times while running . It's always PACKED inside and the courtyard So i finally went for dinner . I was pleasantly surprised. No fan fair just GREAT FOOD with GOOD PORTIONS. Reasonable prices Walking distance from my home !! Julio & Alvarado were attentive servers . We ordered three dishes . We all said same thing in Unison OMG this is delicious! Only Negative is They have a Huge lovely courtyard , water foundation, lights streaming . The owner needs to invest in heat lamps . Even in Autumn they can continue to use it but was very chilly .

Let me say right up front, I'm going to try and be as respectful as I can with my review. That…read moresaid... Came here on a Saturday night when they had entertainment (the guy from Jersey Boys, sorry I don't know his name.) 1) The JB guy shows up with a karaoke machine and does a few songs, which were nice. But then turns the mic and machine over to 2 drunked up chicks who dominated the night with their slurred off key singing, and for a good part of the time too! Um, I didn't pay for this. Which brings me to... 2) Dinners were up charged because of the "entertainment," which we don't mind. But I didn't expect to pay extra for 'drunk Saturday night karaoke.' So we quickly ate our dinners and left, which was a shame. 3) The service was good. I don't know the woman's name, but she was attentive. Likewise, the food was good (chicken dinners). Nothing great, but nice. The one thing that was really good was the ginger calamari. Will I eat here again? Maybe. But when they don't have "entertainment."

nice old school Italian vibe restaurant. came on a saturday night while they had a live band…read moreplaying. the owner is very welcoming and caring. food was pretty good but the service from the waitress was pretty slow and forgetful. other than that its a very nice place to go and pretty good food. just wish or waitress didn't forget a app order and a drink order.

The restaurant is a former residential property and the interiors is no frills. People come here for the food. We were comped an appetizer as well as a dessert and the service is fast and first rate! Tonight I had the Meatball soup, classic Lasagna and a side of meatballs along with a house salad and several Iced Teas. I was too stuffed for dessert and I love coming here because I know there isn't a poor selection on the menu. Located on Schuyler Avenue close to the Lyndhurst border, La Venere works for parties of two or large groups for parties or special events. North Arlington is changing, but there are constants and thankfully La Venere continues to impress and flourish. Love Italian old school? Check out La Venere and you be disappointed! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

They serve hot bread with butter, which is great. Also, a side of salad comes with a meal. I would definitely recommend this place. Everything we ordered was to the tea. thank you for a great experience and I highly recommend coming here.
