I have been dining at Venuti's Restaurant for years, and have been to several events, from Weddings to Christenings in their banquet halls! Food is wonderful at the banquets. The restaurant is a disappointment. It wasn't always. Seems that they are slipping in quality, service...and presentation. My party felt the same way and we decided to look for a new venue for authentic Italian food, served with a smile. Our meals were not true to recipes and tasteless. It's almost sad. Waitstaff and management seem disinterested. They were not busy, only one other occupied table. This last visit was a return after a disappointing prior visit. We tried but they failed to deliver again. We can go anywhere for average. We will miss the way they used to be.More

We attended a wedding at Venuti's. The food was wonderful. The atmosphere pleasing and attractive. The staff friendly and attentive. The restaurant bar featured music on Friday night and there was a decent crowd in there.

Last evening was our third time at Venuti’s. Each time has been a great experience with an extensive menu, great service and atmosphere. From the time that you are greeted to the time that you leave you are truly treated like family. Portions are generous...and perfectly prepared. Highly recommended!More

How refreshing to go to a restaurant and have amazing service and watch how much the owner cares about his customers. The food was delicious. Everything you could possibly want is on the menu. This is a must try!

I would recommend this restaurant to anyone with confidence! Great service, and the best selection ever at the buffet. Always fresh and a wonderful variety. The best buffet you will find anywhere! Bravo. Raphael R.

Server was rude from the get go when we asked him what the specials were he proceeded to get us the specials card and told us he was TOO BUSY to go over it. THERE WERE 3 other tables occupied in the ENTIRE RESTAURANT. The...appetizers were the highlight. The entrees were not. Steak ordered medium rare came out medium well and the supposed bernaise sauce was a semi thick au jus with mushrooms, which he quickly blamed on the chef. Advised the owner who asked me what else I would like and he would Comp a dessert. Ordered the chicken parmigiana with pasta and he immediately let me know the pasta would be al dente probably thinking I would complain. Being Italian I do know what al dente is and have been cooking pasta that way for over 40 years. When we were given our bill the server let us know that he deleted the steak dinner and charged us for the chicken Parmesan. Wow, I would think that would be the case! Anyway, not going back.More

My family visited the restaurant last Thursday to celebrate my aunt's birthday. When we got there we asked the server if we can move to another table which was directly across from where we were. The server responded by asking us "what's the difference". We...felt that the response was rude and inappropriate. We expected the response to be like "certainly, with my pleasure or "I would be happy to accommodate your request". When the server came around to take our food order, he took my aunt's order first and then he went to my brother in law and my brother in law told him he's not ready and if he (the server) can skip him and take the other of the other guests who have made their decision. The server responded by saying "I can't do that, I have to take the order in by seat number going clockwise. So he left the table and said will come back when everybody is ready. I found that very unprofessional. The next day I called the restaurant to speak with the General Manager to share my feedback. I was told he is not in but I was able to speak with one of the Managers. After speaking with him and sharing my feedback, he told me that he will speak with his GM and the GM will get in touch with me the next day. Four days have passed and have not received a call from the General Manager. I tried calling but was given a run around that he is in a meeting or he was busy. The people who answered the phone are also very rude.More

I've been going to Venuti's off and on for years. Just met friends for dinner there and forgot how much I love it. I'm Italian so very picky about Italian food but this place does it right. Love the bread,oil, and focaccia waiting for you....Meals are plentiful and pricing is reasonable for the quality. Atmosphere comfortable we sat right by the fireplace.More

Attended a business banquet for about 300 and it was very graciously done. Seating was rounds for 10- followed by Cream of Chicken soup Caesar salad with a main of Chicken , Salmon or Lasagna. Everyone seemed to love their choices . Chocolate mousse for...desert with fantastic coffee, that seemed to be Italian. The facility decor is lovely and bar service was available. If I am in the area again I would definitely go back the food was top notch.More

Three of us went to Venuti's in mid-August. The staff was very accommodating, the service was excellent, and the food was as good as most Italian restaurants in Chicagoland. Venuti's is fairly priced, the parking is free, and the experience was a plus. For three...meals and two drinks, we spent $60.00 My sister and I took our elderly mother on an outing and decided to try Venuti's. None of us had eaten there before, and we were quite pleased. There are many Italian places in Chicago and the 'burbs. Take a chance on Venuti's - you won't be disappointed.More

This place is wonderful. Been many times downtown Hotel for wedding and other events, I'm still not sure why people waste their time and money to go there for their wedding. Venuti has everything that you can imagine and beyond. Great looking place, atmosphere is...top notch. Service is great and classy. Food is out of this world, and let’s not talk about the bar selection, they have it all. I rate Venuti a 10, compare to any other places.More

they have an online menu. IMO, I think $30 is average if you add tax and tip and a non-alcoholic drink.
