Ted G.

The BEST pizza in the Clayton area. Venero's not only offers the best pizza in Clayton NC, they have a menu filled with all the true Italian entrees not found anywhere else. You not only get it your way, every entree is prepared with the highest quality ingredients. I don't have an over complicated palate, but I know mediocre when I see and taste it and refuse to entertain mediocre. I return to Venero's weekly because it's top shelf, personalized dining. On top of all that you are treated like family and family always comes first! You deserve the best Clayton has to offer for Italian dining, let Venero's give you what you deserve Cheers!

Ultimate Lasagna

The food here is fantastic! The Ultimate Lasagna is large enough to share, but so good that you want to eat it all yourself! Also, the meatballs on the spaghetti our outstanding! Service is great, too! Highly recommend!

Ultimate Lasagna

The restaurant has the old school vibe and I really liked it. The waitress was extremely attentive and got the food quickly. I had the lasagna and a Caesar salad. The salad was overall very good but the lasagna was amazing. It had a great balance of flavor and not too much cheese. My first time visiting and it will not be my last for sure.

Calzone with Italian sausage and spinach

Upon arrival, it was crowded. Waited for approximately12 minutes to be served. Once seated, you will feel like you're in another dimension. It's just an out of place feeling if you're not local. However my calzone was very very good. I would come back again. Loud family restaurant.

Lasagna - so much food here. You can taste all 5 cheeses.

My family and I enjoyed our dinner at Veneros. They are known for their pizza, but also have a great Italian menu. The Caesar side salad was bigger than I expected and very fulfilling. I ordered the lasgna, and it did not disappoint. Very cheesy, saucy. Wife got the chicken picatta and that was great too. Lite creamy lemon sauce with many capers! We got the cheese pizza for our 4yr old, and she loved it. She called the oregano "vegetables" and was proud that she ate them. The pizza was soft, flavorful crust and the cheese topping was great.

Pizza is ugh basil, roasted red peppers, and sausage!

As for the food, our items were delicious and filling! I recommend the "Rollatini A La Fiori" as an appetizer. Our sangria cocktail was also very refreshing. Fiori Italian is nicely decorated and the Italian Oldies playing in the background make for a beautiful mood. I definitely recommend you stop by if you can!

It was a little more upscale than I expected but I was welcomed with my sweatpants and hoodie on just the same. The staff was very nice. The owner (wife) was cleaning tables and spent some time answering my questions about the menu. The owner (husband) was in the kitchen running service. Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful. We got several different items to try. I was surprised that the prices were not what I was made to believe. The portions are very good for the price they charge. Now let's talk food: The meatballs were amazing. Surprisingly very juicy. Most places are damp to dry and you need the sauce. These were juicy enough you don't need the sauce, but the sauce was delicious. Not too acidic and not too sweet. That could be a meal itself with a side dish. The risotto was perfectly cooked, the scallops were the best I've had outside of a Gordon Ramsey restaurant. The Alfredo was better than mine that make at home (mine is really good). The Fiorentino is possibly my new favorite dish. Crispy and juicy chicken, great sauce and delicious polenta, and I don't even really eat polenta. We were impressed with all of it. The desserts were really good. The cannolis are awesome and the tiramisu is always a favorite. The chocolate chips in the tiramisu threw off the texture a little bit but it was delicious. I like a heavy espresso flavor in my tiramisu and it could use a bit more for me, but I'd still give it a 9.5/10. When the meal is this good, you nitpick every little detail. Overall, this is our new favorite spot. This meal was outstanding and I highly recommend it! 10/10 and WORTH EVERY PENNY!

The chef was very kind and made us a little extra for lunch- such a great guy! Thank you for always making your food with a lot of love and care. The rigatoni alla vodka is still to die for and I haven't found another place that comes close to it in Raleigh or Charlotte. Encourage everyone to support this local, small business!!! The food is awesome here!!! They also have more budget friendly lunch options too- just give them a call.

The restaurant is nice and dimly lit with plenty of seating, but you will have to find street parking around Glenwood. We were a party of 6 and they pulled together tables to accommodate us. Our server was a little slow but still friendly. For starters we got a Margherita pizza, calamari, the grilled caesar, and they brought us a complimentary bread basket with oil. Everything except the caesar was good. I guess we didn't expect the caesar to taste THAT charred and the lettuce to not be chopped. For main entrees, we ordered lasagna, lobster ravioli, penne alla vodka, and alfredo. The vodka pasta and lasagna were unflavored and disliked among the table. I would not recommend those dishes. The alfredo was okay. The best dish was the lobster ravioli.

I have been to Postino many times before, but this was my first time at the Raleigh location. While it's been 4 years since I've had Postino and the menu has changed a little, the bruschetta board is still a permanent fixture. We ordered a bruschetta board for an appetizer and I ordered the half panini & half salad for my entree. The bruschetta board is a must order because you can get 4 different kinds. The top tier choice is the salami pesto one. It's my absolute favorite. For my panini, I got the caprese one on ciabatta bread and the half of the mixed greens salad. The salad was delicious. This was a ton of food and felt very satisfying. I always love the vibe of Postino's, but this location was way too dark with only a small candle at the table. Service started off good and we were able to order our food without a problem. However, our server was done with his shift right after we ordered so we got a new server. Our new server had no idea we already ordered and was a little behind coming to our table for water refills. Despite that, we were in and out of the restaurant within 45 minutes. Postino is surrounded by other shops and restaurants, so they had a ton of parking available outside the restaurant. Highly recommend this place if you want good food!
