About
VIA VENETO ITALIAN RESTAURANT: The famous writer and food critic Paolo Tullio (1949-2015) wrote: “Maestro di Cucina. In Enniscorthy’s Via Veneto, master Italian chef Paolo Fresilli, President of the Italian Chefs Federation in Ireland, has been the pioneer of this movement, and is serving up the real taste of Italy . He is one of a select band, he’s an Italian chef who learned his trade before coming to Ireland.You may find this surprising, but that isn’t the norm here. In fact, I can only think of three chefs who fit that description. Call me a chauvinist, but I’m convinced that the best Italian food can only be had where there’s a chef who knows his trade from his home.

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

An excellent restaurant. The service and the quality of the food was top quality. The total price was very reasonably and also some extra free deserts were given to us just for to taste. We will definitely go back again.

Walked in, saw a picture of Il Duce behind the counter and immediately knew this place would be quality. Staff were so friendly and the service was fast. Food was great quality, we had the Penne Ghiottona amd Euro 2020 pizza. The desserts were very tasty and overall the meal was great value. Definitely will be coming back in the future:)

So last Thursday the first of February myself and my girlfriend visited this 🏆 establishment. It was for my birthday treat. We didn't mention this as o don't like attention "candles etc"
Well as soon as we walked in we loved everything about the restaurant cozy and warm with a beautiful ambiance. Friendly and funny staff.
We shared the wings to start,I had the T-bone steak,well done and my girlfriend had a pizza.
Everything was perfect and cooked to perfection.
If I could make a suggestion then maybe serve a dip with the wings like maybe a blue cheese sauce...but 10/10 and thank you Via Veneto 👌

My friend and I went here for an evening meal as it was her birthday. They had specials on offer and we opted for the starter and main course each. The starter was fine and was served with salad. However, no dressing at all on the limp salad or on the table. We asked for some dressing and were given a large plastic bottle. I assume handled by many people. Ok we thought… not great but held out hope for the main courses. Sad to say my friend could not eat a bite of hers- it was fatty meat and too tough to cut through. She sent the plate back and declined to order anything else. My choice of main was edible but just about and it’s not easy to enjoy a meal when the person opposite has none. When it came to paying we were told that nobody else had a problem and the server made a compliment out of not charging for my friends main course ( which of course she didn’t actually eat so thanks a lot!). Sorry folks, am sad to say that the ‘specials’ in this restaurant were the polar opposite to special!

Dear tilleyl2023,
We believe in listening to our customers and always strive to improve the quality of food and service in our establishment however on this occasion we must address this unfair review.
We accepted on the evening that our very popular duck special was not to your liking however we did everything possible to offer additional options to which your friend refused and so it was your choice “to sit without a meal”. Our duck special was extremely popular on the night and every single customer sent back empty plates. As a small business we go out of our way to ensure our customers have a positive experience however on this occasion you both would not engage in our attempt to rectify the situation.
As a small business we do not appreciate customers threatening to leave bad reviews particularly when we did everything possible to make your visit a positive one. We hope this not happen to another small business.
Regards.

Visited with friends whilst staying in Enniscorthy.
Good Covid rules in place.
Had two pasta dishes 1 pizza and a steak dish.
We selected a wine, which was not available but was replaced with one of greater value.
Both pasta dishes greatly enjoyed.
Pizza was declared lovely.
Steak was asked for as rare to medium and that was exactly what I got delicious!
Sweets were enjoyed followed by Irish coffees.
A good night out with a very pleasent waitress.
Will call again if inthearea.

One of the best genuine good home cooked food I’ve had in a long time top quality ingredients and well home made traditional food, a good selection of wines and a great atmosphere.
I would like to thank all the staff and patrons for their attention to service and quality of food.
A very welcoming and friendly atmosphere will definitely go again

I was part of a group that was going out for dinner and we decided to give Veneto another try (after a few unpleasant experiences here many years ago). I must say that it has completely changed my mind. The Pizzas were fantastic and one of us had the lamb shank which he said was very good. Perroni on tap and a decent wine menu was a plus. Staff were attentive and very pleasant. We have visited aging during COVID and whilst the menu was not a large as before everyone enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Well done.

Another great night filled with fantastic food and service. Paolo, Diana and Asia were extremely welcoming and attentive as normal.
We had a pizza to share for starters between the table and I had a fillet steak with pepper sauce and fried onions for mains followed by a creme brûlée all cooked to perfection.
The restaurant have gone above and beyond ensuring all customers feel comfortable and safe in regards to covid 19 by implementing all possible measures.
Looking forward to our next visit already!

Regular visitor to Via Veneto, our favourite restaurant. Paolo, Diana and all the staff are so welcoming and help create a lovely atmosphere. Food and wine are always excellent- big fan of the Tagliata steaks- (sliced, with rocket, cherry tomatoes and Parmesan) and always get a pizza or two for the table! Tiramisu for dessert is a winner every time.
Was put at ease immediately with their approach during these Covid times- all staff wearing PPE, a number of tables removed to allow for social distancing and feel very comfortable.
Looking forward to going in again very soon.

I went to Ireland with friends, passing through Enniscorty we stopped to visit the Via Veneto restaurant. We had a great time, courtesy and friendliness. Excellent cuisine with Italian products. The fish and meat were excellent, especially the goose... Exquisite, an experience worth repeating.

A fantastic, authentic Italian restaurant with fabulous food and wonderful service.
The pizzas here cannot be beaten! The fresh ravioli and tortellini that regularly feature on the specials menu are delicious!
Delighted to see staff taking temperatures, wearing PPE and leaving lots of space between tables.
Looking forward to next meal in Via!

Returned to via Veneto this evening after a bit of a gap and was welcomed with such warmth, familiarity and generosity. Delicious food accompanied by wonderful wine choices added to the family feeling of this homely, high quality restaurant right on our doorstep. Thank you Diana, Paulao & co,

My wife and I decided to visit this authentic Italian restaurant for the first time since lockdown. We were greeted by Diana who showed us to our table. We were very impressed with the care taken, face masks were worn by all staff and the tables had plenty of space between them, it's great to see high respect for rules and others. As usual the choice of menu was superb and great service by the staff, it was a great night and we both felt very comfortable at all times. Thank you to everyone for a great experience once again, we will be back.

First time visiting this restaurant with family. Greeted at the door by owner and headchef. I was mucho impressed from beginning to end. It did not fail delight.
I was most impressed by the 1950's decor and mussolini references. Know now why its called ' Via Venito'
Til next time, Ciao
