    Venda is the perfect summer spot for a family dinner, date night or night on the town with friends. You can always expect phenomenal food, service and atmosphere in their piazza. Highly recommend.

    Made a reservation for a table by the fountain and got seated on the street side. Hostess was not accommodating, the server kept forgetting to bring us water. Over all it was a fine night, just not what I expected from such a well known restaurant on the hill

    Appetizer the eggplant was fantastic. The veal was tasty, but the veal was a little tough, some times it’s just the cut. Great service, We recommend! Over all a 4 star.

    I would definitely recommend this restaurant. I'm picky; so, it doesn't get fives. But, the food was good. Waiters were polite. Price is fair. Service was slow, but that was okay--we are not supposed to rush a good meal. Ambiance was really noisy from street traffic, and customers raised their volume to compete.

    The food was phenomenal. Our waiter was awesome and apologetic. the drinks took about 40 minutes to come out, the appetizers took an hour to come out, dinner 2 hours. It was a busy night, but that was alittle long. The ambience kept us entertained

    Our waiter was making us feel bad for asking for something, he rolled his eyes at us a lot and only came to the table a few times. We had to ask other people to help get us stuff when needed and when our food came.

    Never would have expected the night we had last night going to the old staple on the hill! - Valet didn’t want to park the car because he “wasn’t making enough money tonight” - Seated inside and stuck to the table and took four times asking for it to be cleaned - ordered everything all at once since we saw the waitress once in the first 20min - appetizer came out before drinks, utensils and anything else so we were able to stare at the food for a while first - dinner was never as bland and over cooked veal Marsala - wife loved the tiramisu but that also was brought to us without utensils so we got to stare at dessert too before I got so upset and had to pull the waitress out of the corner she was hiding in This was by far one of the worst dinners we have had in such a long time. This was our last visit here!

    Really enjoyed my meal here today. The arancini were fabulous, especially with the mushrooms and sauce. The Caprese Salad is a meal on its own, especially with the prosciutto added. My friend had the Veal Marsala and it was wonderful, as always. Never a bad meal here.

    Even after making a reservation on OpenTable, the hostess acted as if they were not expcting us. She initally put our party of 5 at a table barely big enough for 4 people but moved us to another table only after we insisted. Even though we responded to your website question asking if we were celebrating a special ocassion like a birthday- which we were - the restaurant made no acknowledgement of this. The food was very good and it was lovely sitting on the plaza, but we will most likely not return there to celebrate a special ocassion.

    I don’t want to whack this restaurant too hard, because in their defense, there had to be at least 75 tables and that’s makes it quite difficult to serve great food. Also difficult on the servers. With that said, this was absolutely the worst veal marsala I’ve ever eaten. Veal was rubbery, the pasta was cooked in unsalted water, had a flat taste. The sauce was dead on arrival, required seasoning and had three pieces of mushrooms. No one in the kitchen ever tasted this sauce. The positives were the calamari was decent, drinks and desert were good. But, because of the great setting….we’ll probably go there again.

    We love Costantinos. We made a reservation on Open Table for a patio table and requested a shaded table in reservation notes. Rather than seating us on the patio between the buildings, the hostess sat us on a patio in front of the building by the street. The sun was very strong in this area. The server kindly brought us an umbrella, but the umbrella didn’t bend and wasn’t blocking the sun due to the angle of the sun. We asked the hostess to be moved between the buildings in the shade. She told someone to bring us to the 160s and we were sat in the very back of the patio. Our table was crammed so close to tables on either side of us, we could barely get into our chairs. We found it odd that other parties of 2 were sat at the round tables in the rows in front of us, with more room around the tables. We just thought it was weird that we were sat at less desirable tables, when there were plenty of other tables available. The food varies a bit, this wasn’t their absolute best day for the vodka sauce- it was a bit watery. We still enjoyed our meal and the leftovers. Our server was lovely and provided great service. I’m not sure what the secret is for getting a good table, but I hope to figure it out before our next visit.

    We went in for a drink and appetizer on Saturday and enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service so much we brought our adult daughter and her boyfriend for her birthday dinner the next day. (We canceled the reservation we originally made at a different restaurant). Appetizers, salads, drinks and entrees were all amazing! It’s just a fun, relaxing vibe with a live singer (Ron Giorgio) & the beautiful fountain on the piazza. Our server Zac ( whom we had both days) is fantastic! He was very accommodating as we asked for a couple different substitutions and everything arrived to the table perfectly.
