VENETI

"Close your eyes...
...you really can imagine that you are sitting in a Venetian restaurant on a side canal in Venice...
...and the best thing is there is no smell!"

" This has to be one of the warmest welcomes anyone can have in an Italian restaurant anywhere in the Capital "

" The perfect combination of an innovative contemporary menu, created by head chef Luca Conti, and absolutely charming front of house atmosphere created by Simon Piovesan & Stephan Frassoni with their faultless staff... making a dining experience that you will come back for time and time again...!"

"The only thing wrong with this restaurant is that they don't do breakfast!"

" A stones throw from Oxford St, you can transport yourself to the Grand Canal at 2 Veneti!"

"Having been established here now for little more than two years the Batman and Robin restaurant duo (Simon P) and (Stephan F), have created something short of a miracle in that time here at their authentic Italian restaurant "2 Veneti " on Wigmore St. Super heroes they certainly are, as the "North Mayfair" area above Oxford St has now, thanks to their efforts, a premier league Italian Restaurant with a menu to rival the stuffy Mayfair set who try desperately to re-invent themselves year after year. Watch and learn guys, this is the way to do it right first time round !! "

"Immediately on walking in you notice the efficient, yet relaxed atmosphere of the room, and are greeted with certainly one of the warmest welcomes anyone can expect in a restaurant anywhere, let alone in the capital."

"Indeed, it is an absolute pleasure that when sat at the table and enjoying the bread, one can enjoy seeing other diners delight in the welcome they receive from the staff as they enter the restaurant too. "

"The welcome is matched and surpassed by the faultless service. Always a good indicator of sleepy staff is to notice if your napkin has been folded by staff in your absence to the bathroom. Delighted to see this was the case here, I was somewhat puzzled that they had time to make it into a Swan! "

"Chef ( Luca Conti ) ex Teca, Mayfair, has performed his maestro magic on the menu here too. Stylish, yet contemporary plate presentation is his signature...A starter of "Fritto Misto " a light tempura of a sea food medley, followed by the special treat of ("Home made tortello filled with pumpkin & Amaretto ") exquisite parcels of tortolini with a hint of almond liqueur, were a perfect combination."
