We lucked out on this find! We happened to be driving through Silverdale on our way to Sequim- and we are so happy we decided to stop. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. The staff is friendly and warm and service is fast and attentive. The food is excellent. From the warm bread to the eggplant parm (cooked to perfection) and the chicken piccata- my wife said was excellent. (Sorry- no pics- we devoured our meals). This is a drive we do often - we will definitely come again! read more

Quick pizza takeout, excellent homemade crust and fresh tasting sauce. Restaurant smelled wonderful and I would have liked to try their complete menu. read more

I used to love this spot and so my husband and I decided to come by for the first time in a while for dinner last week. We did an early dinner, about 4pm. Walked in and the place was quiet, no music, just a customer on her cell phone talking very loudly - she was dining in and ended up talking the entire time - not the restaurants problem but I asked for the music to be turned on if they had any because it was an awkward atmosphere. My husband and I ordered the scallop balsamic risotto (for me) and he got the pappardelle. The risotto was extremely under seasoned, we didn't see a speck of pepper or taste any flavor until we mixed the balsamic in but I still ended up adding in so much salt to compensate for the flavor. Scallops were perfectly cooked though. My husband's pappardelle was overcooked and mushy, also under seasoned. Did not have the flavor we are used to as this is one of his regular dishes when we've ordered in past. The waitress was nice but it felt almost like they weren't expecting customers to dine in. I wouldn't recommend dining in on a week day from our experience, but I'll still order to go every now and then. read more

First time I have tried the "Surprise me" method of finding a restaurant. This cute little place was packed! I had ordered through Yelp as well, which I rarely do. The pizza looks amazing, the salad complex, the cannoli delightful. read more

VENETO ITALIAN RESTAURANTE is usually better than today. The Caesar Salad simply isn't! The homemade dressing is a watery vinegar not oil, egg and anchovies! The Pasta from the sea is FANTASTIC read more

We really enjoy meals at Veneto. This is about our fourth visit in the last couple of years. This small quiet restaurant with no significant frills keeps us coming back because of friendly service and quality food. The dining room is comfortable and even with a full house you can carry on a comfortable conversation with your dinner companions. The appetizer menu has many choices but we have stuck with our favorite, bruschetta. But wait, even before the appetizer you get a few slices of warm tasty bread and some dipping olive oil with herbs and balsamic vinegar. It's a great way to warm up your tastebuds. The Bruschetta is very good with ample helpings of tomatoes, basil and mozzarella. Tonight it seemed a bit shy on balsamic, we should have asked for a little more to drizzle. My wife tends to order her favorite, Chicken Marsala. It's hard to argue with her because it is always very good. Large helpings of fresh vegetables compliment the chicken covered with tasty sauce. On this night I went with something new for me, Spaghetti Bioscala. The pasta was tender and the combination of salami, mushrooms, pepper, broccoli, and tasty cream sauce was very well balanced. They have a nice dessert menu but we have yet to leave room for any. Before the tip the cost was $70 including the food and one soft drink. Pretty typical of dinner out these days, although we have another meal in our fridge! As I said, it's not fancy but we enjoy clean, fresh, friendly and efficient . We think you would enjoy as well. read more

Veneto Italian Restaurant - Chicken amaretto sauce w pasta n veggies Pollo Alle Mandorle - Italian Near Me - Silverdale, Washington

It's a small Italian place in a small city. The servings were a nice size and the food was average. Can't say I was impressed with anything. The calamari was tiny compared to what I used too. I won't recommend it. read more

I just had Pork Ossobucco delivered from Venetian Italian. What a major disappointment. The meat was tender, falling off the bone but had the worst taste I've ever experienced. It left a strong bitter after taste. So so disappointed. The veggies were ok, nothing to write home about, the mashed potatoes were great and the salad was ok. Then there was the bread. Intended to be dipped in balsamic. They provided 4 foil wrapped packages equivalent to an entire loaf of bread. I thought, "this is generous". Then I tasted it. Every darn slice was STALE!!! Even the balsamic could not disguise the awful taste. I paid $50 before driver tip for this mess. I was robbed read more

Off the beaten path but a gem! The food was wonderful and the service was great! We celebrated our 36th anniversary and they surprised us with a free dessert that was wonderful. read more

Pretty good for a small family run (probably) business. There aren't really that many Italian options in Silverdale outside pizzerias, so this might be the best option. Everything is very standard and well done. The fried calamari is quite nice. The mozzarella sticks with meatballs are very standard fare, although I was hoping for more with the meatballs. The Alfredo with sausage is excellent and very filling. The carbonara is even more filling and uses real pancetta. It can be a bit salty, but I quite enjoyed it. The service is also pretty good too. You can usually seat yourself if a table is available. It's very small so it could fill quickly. I only take off one star because everything is good but nothing really stands out. read more

I have no idea about their food these days, but that they added Texas Style donuts in the morning has me happy! And, I am not a fan of sweets in general. Excellent donuts. Fresh, fluffy, and tasty!!!! You will see the rave reviews on FB especially. And, they are all 5 stars!!! Friendliest owners and crew successfully managing an overwhelming number of people lined up for those morning donut. read more

Expect slow service. They're operating on a small staff. Restaurant is ran by the same family as the El Huarache Mexican restaurants in Poulsbo, Silverdale etc. Friendly folks. They've been in the restaurant business for two generations I think. They'll make sure you are pleased. It's not fine Italian dining. Do not come expecting this level of sophistication. It's a family, every day type restaurant. Think Italian-American, in terms of recipes and portions. Generally, it's good eating, you'll be satisfied, and won't walk out hungry. Some items are better than others, so if you try a few things you'll find out what works for you. read more

We make sure we eat here every time we come to visit our grandson. I've never been disappointed with the food and service. The ambiance is not a reason to go there but the Italian food is over the top!! read more

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. This is the best Italian restaurant we've found in Kitsap County. I had the Chicken Marsala. My husband ate a ten inch Margarita Pizza. Both dishes were excellent and the closest we found to the authentic dishes we had in Naples, Italy where we lived for 3 years. The server was delightful. read more

Super small mom and pop Italian restaurant but the food was amazing !!! The service was so friendly and attentive to our wants and needs. The food took a while but I'm sure it's because everything is made fresh so I didn't mind waiting at all. Can't wait to be back in town for me to have this again! read more

A stale, strange, 'mildewy' smell was wafting so spun on our heels and skidaddled right back into the fresh air.

Worst food (not just Italian) ever. -Bruschetta made with wonder bread, no taste, spice oregano, basil, etc. Tomatoes had turned. -Pizza was disgusting. Cold, flavorless and a slimy texture we couldn't identify. Almost like some cooked burrito dough and sold it as a pizza? -Asked for Parmesan, charged us 1.50 for a pathetic little container -Calzone, 20 minutes after the pizza was sent out, cut in three pieces(WTF?), cold, with uncooked, hard mushrooms and sausage that smelled like it had turned, sent this crap back. -Bench seating has collapsed in the middle, make sure you sit on the wooden frame or you'll be fall to the floor. -Staff seemed more concerned with socializing than worrying about the few customers they had on a Friday night, but it makes sense now. Disgusting, horrible food. Fingers crossed we didn't get food poisoning. Avoid this place like root canal, projectile vomiting and taxes read more

Small restaurant in the middle of a few others but big flavors. We really enjoyed the low key atmosphere and it seemed like everyone knew one another. Our waitress was amazing! She gave great recommendations and was very attentive. The Caesar salad had fresh homemade dressing. The bread was soft and warm. The penne ala vodka had great flavor and my husband finished his whole meal. Even our picky toddler enjoyed eating pizza and salad there. We found our Italian restaurant while we are living here. read more

We ordered to-go through door dash, so take that into account. I ordered eggplant Parmesan and the eggplant was a bit soggy while also tasted undercooked in some areas. The sogginess could be from ordering it delivery. The fried ravioli was VERY good and the sauce it came in was delicious. The bread is just standard white bread - kind of dry and nothing special. Giving 3 stars because it wasn't terrible it just wasn't great and don't think we will be ordering it again. read more

What a cute little spot. Don't let the outside fool you! Even though it's located in a little strip of seemly worn down shops, this place is anything but worn down. With a little more than a dozen tables, this intimate little Italian restaurant is perfection. It's a little on the darker side inside, which gives it a romantic feel and on some nights, a lone guitarist plays gently by the door while you eat. The food is wonderful. You get a plate of bread with dipping oil when you sit down and I could eat my weight in it. Then the big show. They are great if you want to substitute a pasta type into your dish(I get angel hair with my chicken Alfredo). I've never met someone who got a dish there that they didn't love. The portions are great as well. I always end up taking some of it home to enjoy later. My only gripe that took a star is that all three times I have gone, the service is slow. It takes a while to get drinks refilled and the time between coming in, ordering and getting your food is just a tad too long. Refilling drinks is always a big thing to me. I hate to have to flag someone down to get more water. But other than that, this place is a real winner. read more

Veneto Italian Restaurant - Chicken Alfredo with angel hair pasta(I asked for different pasta). So good!! - Italian Near Me - Silverdale, Washington

Pork osso buco - very good - meat falling off the bone, very nice sauce. Osso buco is a leg shank, and during long stewing, the marrow melts out of the bone, enriching the sauce. And Veneto's version has a lot of tasty sauce. Normally they serve this with mashed potatoes, but they mix Parmesan in, and I don't eat cheese, so I asked for a substitute. They said pasta was an alternative, but when that came, it was covered with grated cheese - they made a quick switch, within 5 minutes. You will want something to soak up this sauce - mashed potatoes is ideal. The vegetables weren't very special - blanched, cooked but still with a bit of a crunch, and dressed with butter(?) and minced garlic. Pleasant, not special. But you will come back for osso buco and that sauce. read more

Would have been 3 stars but 17$ for a plate of just ok spaghetti pomodoro - which was chunky and very thin. Gnocchi was gummy and needed salt. Place seemed clean, I'll give them that much. Yet the decor is outdated and the wall color way bad. Oh and the receipt still has prior restaurant to info in the footer....? read more

Veneto Italian Restaurant - Chicken Parmesan, Chicken Marsala - Italian Near Me - Silverdale, Washington

I have eaten here with my family once long ago and had delivery two times. I was told by the delivery driver they had new cooks and he hoped it was good. Let me tell you...your new cooks are wonderful! That was the best Italian food we have had in a long time. Give your chef and cooks all the praise. The pork shank and king salmon were absolutely amazing and so was everything else. Thank you! read more

Excellent service and great Italian food. It's a hole in the wall but very nice ! Enjoy. Steve read more

This is the most authentic Italian food this side of the Sound. All the sauces and breads are hand made everyday. We had a party of 8 which can make things a little difficult in a small restaurant, however they were able to accommodate with no problem. Food arrived in a timely fashion, plates were cleared once finished. By far, my favorite restaurant in Silverdale read more

The food was hot but honestly ok at best. It just wasn't the authentic Italian as I had hoped..but I'm not in Italy or NY . You get what you pay for. The table bread was a dense bread machine loaf slices. I had the lasagna (they use no boil noodles), the Caesar salad (romaine lettuce was wilted on the ends and salad was saturated in dressing), and the tiramisu (it was rather heavy with a thick cream top layer). read more

We have been coming here for years! Last time the service and food was "ok" we thought it may be a fluke since we have enjoyed it for so many years. But tonight we went again and service was terrible, the salad was gross like the forgot to shake it so it was all oil! Then my husband ordered veal piccata and it came chicken, so we asked them to correct it and the chef came from the kitchen to ask if she needed to remake it.... Ummmm yes he ordered veal and got chicken! Then when he did get it, it was so tough he needed a steak knife to cut it! Guess our favorite little Italian restaurant that we drive over an hour to get to has decided that their years of standards and good food don't matter anymore! Super sad!!! read more

Wonderful dinner experience! The food is delicious and hearty and the servings are more than generous for the price. Rich sauces and lots of fresh garlic... half a serving was more than enough to fill us up on the fettucine and the crab canelloni. Service was fast and so friendly- glasses never got empty. This was our visit and definitely won't be the last! read more

Despite reading almost all of the reviews and getting mixed reactions everything was fantastic. The service was lovely the food delicious and it was a lovely little place. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious homemade cherry Pepsi and lemonade was fantastic as well. A definite would have again and will recommend. read more

So, Veneto's is open 5am-12pm monday-saturday for breakfast pastries! I picked up an assortment of donuts and a breakfast burrito. The donuts are really well done. They have a lot of flavor in the actual donut and a lot of fun topping options. I picked up strawberry frosting with sprinkles, raspberry filled, pineapple filled, cinnamon sugar, and coconut. Raspberry filled donuts are my favorite and this was one of the best I've tried. The filling was a little light but had an intense raspberry flavor without being too sweet. The pineapple was the same. The strawberry and cinnamon were very tasty, too. The coconut was VERY sweet but still yummy. Sorry for the picture, I forgot to take one before I got to work and cut them up to share and try. Everyone working there was exceptionally nice (especially for it being so early!) and even gave me a little bag of donut holes for free (I'm giving them and a maple donut to my partner so I haven't tried them yet)! I also got a breakfast burrito with ham. It also has eggs, and tomato and onion (pico?), and cheese. Not the biggest, but very filling. I wanted to try a croissant but their oven was down. read more

Holy smokes. Do you want spaghetti? Like GOOD spaghetti? Reminiscent of Lady and the Tramp spaghetti? Do you love spaghetti so much it brings out the 5 year old in you and inside your head you scream "Pasghetti!!!" Then you need to try this place. I ordered the fried calamari and spaghetti pomodoro. I don't like sour spaghetti and was a little worried but I took my first bite and I was transported to an Italian village. The base was a delicious clam sauce. The calamari was lightly seasoned and deliciously crunchy. It is literally the best Italian food I've ever had! If you're interested in a night of pasghetti and camari, try this place out. It is definitely worth the drive!! read more

Have you tasted food before? If your answer is yes, keep searching as this makes Chef Boyardee look like haute cuisine. I should have known that a restaurant using the terms Veneto and Venezia for chicken dishes had no clue what they were doing. But with few pasta options while under the influence of Stanley Tucci, I thought how bad can it be? Bad. This is an affront to every single sense. I have no clue what the house dressing is made from. Canola oil and five tablespoons of raw garlic? My entree had no discernible flavor. It's clear no one is tasting their food in the kitchen and it shows. What a terrible waste of ingredients. read more

I was craving a Italian and this place hit the spot. Everything was superb from the service to the food. They even had a signature Sangria that was delicious. The dressing on the Caesar salad was homemade and popping with flavor. My carbonara was heavenly. The flavors stuck out just right on everything with the perfect combinations. My husband and I will definitely be going back. read more

High price for the small portions and messy plates. My order tasted weird, like the alfredo sauce was slightly off. Definitely overpriced Italian food. If you finish your complimentary bread and are asked if you would like more, you should know you will be charged extra. read more

Veneto Italian Restaurant - sugar, maple bacon, strawberry and lemon filled - Italian Near Me - Silverdale, Washington

Ordered through Uber Eats evening of 1/12/24. $136 total. Ordered fried artichokes, Caesar salad, house salad, garlic bread, osso buco, carbonara, and tiramisu. Osso buco and salads were the only dishes worth eating. The carbonara was made with Alfredo sauce. Super disappointed; when you know carbonara sauce (egg yolk, Parmesan, and pasta water) you look forward to it. I tossed it. The fried artichokes were so heavily breaded and really just tasted like the oil they were cooked in. Tossed those to. Garlic bread was four crostini's spread with roasted garlic and burned. Tossed 'em. Tiramisu tasted like garlic. I can only surmise it was stored in a refrigerator with garlicky foods. I used to manage an Italian restaurant, so I have some good knowledge about Italian food prep, etc. The highlight was the osso buco, which can be easily ruined if you are not patient. Well done there, but we won't be ordering from Veneto again. Uber refunded $3.52 for the garlic bread read more
