  • "Always take my Mom here (her favorite) when I get back to Binghamton, this time for her birthday. I love the homemade pasta and sauce, not to mention the meat logs and wine."

  • "This was on a Sunday, and the first time that one of our guests returned their dinner. She had ordered chicken alfredo, and it was terrible, looked like it was rewarmed and gloppy"

  • "My wife ordered the shrimp parmesan and her shrimp was overcooked and she had a bathroom issue during the night after, Been to your restaurant many times and was very surprised Charlie Austin. "

  • "Food was amazing. Pasta is made fresh, sauce was sweet and different but very tasty. Food altogether was awesome. Service was great. Look forward to going back. "

  • "We had dinner here during graduation weekend. The food is traditional American-Italian, with chicken parmigiana a specialty. My husband had a parmigiana sampler plate and said the chicken was the best of three (others were meatball and sausage). My eggplant parmigiana was excellent. The pasta side dishes tasted homemade, with fresh-tasting sauce. The down sides? Very few vegetarian options, sad iceberg lettuce with too much dressing as a salad, and too-big portions. Service was superb."

  • "This is our second visit to Little Venice and was just as good as our first time. The food is very nice and the staff is attentive and personal. It has become a local favorite when visiting our Binghamton University daughter. We look forward to our next visit to Little Venice."

  • "We had a large party of 13 people. This restaurant has very little room in the main dining rooms for large parties. The food was excellent and our server was very good as well. Overall it was a very good experience except that it is so crowded and that evening there was a family who were letting their children run around and scream. They were only there for about half of our visit so that was good."

  • "Very busy and nice place which obviously is a favorite in town. Lots of families, groups celebrating occasions and couples if all age groups. Service was very good. Food was just okay though. I was excited for the homemade pasta. However, what went with it was bland. Prices were very reasonable. I would try again. It was packed and has a good reputation."

  • "A nice, friendly atmosphere with very good down to earth food. Wait staff were excellent and very accommodating to any need. A great spot to sit and chat and feel right at home. Cozy and warm."

  • "Take it from a foodie who's been going there for about 40 years, simply put, it's a true experience. Little Venice defines an Italian restaurant in the US. Homemade pasta, meat "logs," (their version of a large meatball), and a sweet sauce that hundreds of people "take out" every week. Not bad for a wonderfully quaint sit-down restaurant on the verge of town. It's actually next to a Greyhound bus station. You couldn't make that up in a million years. I hit it whenever I travel to Binghamton, NY, and stashed four quarts of frozen sauce in my luggage - to bring home on the plane last night."

  • "Looking for a local experience while in Binghamton I learned of Little Vencie I was surprised how large the restaurant is and how busy on a winter weeknight. I opted for the homemade pasta and let the waitress make the selections for me. Immediately you knew the food was homemade as advertised, tasty but simple. Being with a group 7 we opted for a Carafe of wine. We were delighted to learn that the carafe was made of pottery and contained very nice wine drawn from a Keg. I would like to return and try the pizza and ravioli"

  • "Food and service were ok but this restaurant was nothing special. Service was a little abrupt. Avoid the cappuccino."

  • "Food is always very good. Tomato sauce & homemade pasta is exceptional!!"
    Dined on 11/20/2013
  • "We went to celebrate my birthday and we were not disappointed. We love the sauce, we always buy some to take home. The pizza was good and the homemade spaghetti was cooked perfectly. You cannot go wrong eating at Little Venice!!"
    Dined on 10/18/2013
  • "The "fresh" homemade pasta was HARD to swallow. Not that it was undercooked hard. It was stale dough hard. My ravioli was a hockey pick. The sauce hac a cup of sugar in it. My husbands meet logs were just ok. Since every other italian makes meatballs perhaps they should reconsider their design and recipe. That salad did have fresh ingrediants though. I guess if your in this area check out trip advisor and pick one of the better rated restaurants"

  • "Pasta is always excellent, as is the tomato sauce. And it's especially helpful that Little Venice is open on Sundays."

  • "We have been dining at Little Venice for years! It is our favorite (and our kids' too) place for Italian comfort food! From start to finish, the bread, the salad with house dressing; and then the pasta is perfect! I am partial to the ravioli parmigiana."
    Dined on 3/24/2013
  • "I enjoy Little Venice for it's classic Italian feel. The wine list is expansive, and the dishes cover the great points of Italian cooking. I would have liked slightly more courteous service, but it didn't affect the evening. They also have wonderful Gelato."
    Dined on 3/15/2013
  • "Excellent as always. I love the having the ability to schedule my reservation on-line! Little Venice is always one of my first choices for a evening out,"
    Dined on 3/12/2013
  • "We discovered this place while visiting Binghamton for the first time. What a great find! As soon as we walked in I knew this was the "real deal" for Italian dining. And we were not disappointed with the food or the service. I was the sole wine lover in our group and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality for the price of my choice. The tweener in our group had two pieces of the excellent lemon meringue pie for dessert (!). I am seriously considering going back to Binghamton just to dine at this restaurant. I am dreaming about that red sauce as I write this..... We're from Philly, so we know our Italian restaurants, and this one could easily be in "souphilly"!"

  • "Food arrived barely warm. One dish was overcooked and dried out. Have been going to LV for over 40 years, but the last 2 visits were horrible. Service was slow and not attentive at all. Called the next day to alert them of our experience and they could care less."
    Dined on 1/25/2013
  • "Little Venice is iconic and likely the best that you will find in Binghamton. I will always try to find time for dinner at Little Venice whenever I am in Binghamtom."
