Really, truly mediocre. I would not recommend this place for date night, nor to anyone I cared about. For $40, my wife and I... got Chicken Florentine and Spaghetti Puttanesca. Served before our meal was home-made bread. The bread is very dense--it neededmore time to proof before baking. (And possibly more bake time: its texture was... unsettling.) Then came our meals. Neither ofus finished our meal. 1. Chicken Florentine Fried chicken cutlet, with a bed of spinach, melted cheese, and served withsauce. The chicken was tenderized appropriately; however, was incredibly bland: the chicken had not been seasoned. I don't thinkthis was prepackaged chicken cutlet. The spinach was disgusting. It was bitter. It was soggy. It was prepared one of twoways: 1. Either it had been soaking in a tub of heated, wet spinach for hours, or 2. Heated from frozen, thanks to Chef Mike.(The microwave. This is more likely, more detail next) The cheese had been melted, but there was no browning. Nothing to suggestthe typical preparation: heated and melted under a broiler. No. This was again the mark of Chef Mike. (The microwave) The lemonsauce had no flavor. No lemon: not even a hint of lemon. It was just... bland. Spaghetti Puttanesca I'll admit: the sauce hadgood flavor. I like the fishiness of anchovies. The noodles: they were from a box you'd get at a grocery store. Cook accordingto the package. I'd expect a Northern Italian restaurant to have pride in their pasta: I guess not. The sauce was tasty. Butso... wet! So watery! Tomato sauces are usually thick. This is the stuff of staining your favorite shirt: wet tomato watersplashing everywhere as you eat. Both meals were served with a side of parmesan cheese. It was a small bowl of Kraft gratedparmesan, with a discarded straw wrapper hidden underneath. It is an impressive bit of mental gymnastics, for anupscale-looking "italian" restaurant to: 1. Fail to bake bread appropriately 2. Choose to cook dried noodles... poorly 3 Read more
Very disappointing . I wanted to take my wife out to a romantic dinner . This place has limited ambiance . Salad boring worse... then even a Pa diner salad. Bread was bready with pats of butter no dipping oil. Veal parm dainty portion bad breading and sauceplain . With so many great NOVA restaurants this a a real dud Read more
Everything was delicious. I had the lasagna and a house salad.
This was my first visit to Via Veneto, offering 'Authentic North Italian Cuisine,' which was highly recommended. Unfortunately... it was a major disappointment. I ordered the Lasagna Bolognese...which could be charitably described as 'Bolognese Light.'Delicate house-made pasta, very good; but the sauce was a light quickly-made tomato sauce with little meat and no aromaticvegetables. There was cheese on top...the Lasagna was not baked but quickly assembled and browned under a broiler to melt thecheese. The result was an almost flavorless dish. This was accompanied by a 'House Salad' which one might expect at a cheapDiner - a few bits of Iceberg lettuce, several little dices of pale winter tomato, one black olive, quartered, and anondescript 'Italian' dressing. A Bread Basket provided slices of a crumbly Baking Powder bread which seemed to have been madewithout any salt - again, tasteless. I ordered a glass of the Cabernet Sauvignon which was neither good nor bad. Since myfriends wanted dessert and coffee - I ordered the Flan and black American coffee. The Flan had obviously been sitting in arefrigerator at least overnight. It wasn't very light or silky in texture, and there was too much - and quite cold - thincaramel syrup. The coffee, however, was excellent. This was quite disappointing. With so many excellent restaurants to explore in the Washington DC area, I won't return to Via Veneto. Read more
