    My family and I have been dining at Vetro for years. It’s located along the water and although it’s technically part of NYC we always feel like we’re on vacation. The staff is always attentive, the food delicious, and the ambiance modern and lively. This recent visit was no different. The Manager, Tele, is always friendly and accommodating. Whether dining on the patio, in one of the dining rooms, at the pretty bar lounge, or attending an event, you’re bound to have a great experience, which is why we keep going back and aren’t even local to the area anymore (we travel from Long Island and NJ!).

    Mario is amazing! The food was just ok. Unlike its normal, delicious food but it’s was Mother’s Day and to be expected.

    1st time diner at Veteo. Booked a table for Easter for my family. Alexa the manger reached out to confirm the reservation and explained the menu for the day. Once we arrived greeted with a smile and a beautiful table, my Mother in Law from Brazil was very impressed with the decor. Our waiters Jil amd Michael were top notch. Food was also impressive from the pasta to the Osso bucco. Definitely worth your time to have a meal here.

    Tasty food and a good brunch menu. However, I found the cocktails disappointing. All in all though, I would return again. I think service was very good.
