About the restaurant

VENETO is a dining experience that brings to life the history, culture, and traditions of a region in Northeastern Italy. It's a warm, enlightening setting that leaves bodies, minds, and spirits nourished through quality, handmade cuisine — best shared in good company, with love.

Our menu honors year-round classical favorites and seasonal specialties from the region of Veneto, with ingredients coming from Italy and the finest local purveyors. But it's the experience around those elements that you won't forget.

Being at VENETO is like being in Amy & Marco's home. It's a warm, inviting environment curated with one-of-a-kind antique European furniture and accessories, from the hundreds-year old Italian sofa in the dining room to the Italian marble in the restrooms. We want you comfortable, relaxed, and immersed in Italian culture as you ponder the menu, soak up new knowledge, and enjoy inspired conversation along the way.

Wonderful food and service. Restaurant is very unassuming from the outside in a strip mall location, but inside was very pleasant. Food was absolutely delicious. Service was outstanding.

$25 corkage fee has no value. Is you add 20% tip for server (who gets nothing from the $25) that’s really a $30 expense with little value.

Libertango Steakhouse is a hidden gem that absolutely delivers. I brought a couple of skeptical friends who swore the perfect steak didn’t exist outside their own kitchens. Libertango proved them wrong—so wrong we practically licked our plates (which, for a place this classy, is saying something). We had the ribeyes and picanha, both cooked to perfection with that unmistakable flavor you only get from cherry wood and coal. Every bite was packed with rich, smoky goodness. The sides—especially the puré de papas and arroz de tomates—were just as impressive. Our server was incredible: helpful, quick when we wanted it, and totally played along with our dumb jokes. The wine, the sauces (honestly, I’d give five stars just for those), and the whole experience were spot on. It’s not a cheap meal, but it’s worth every penny. Don’t let the strip mall location fool you—this is fine dining, and hands down the best steak in the Salt Lake Valley.

The food was outstanding, in both presentation and taste. The service was very good too. I take issue with the $25/head cancellation policy, when cancelled within 48 hours of the reservation. It's one thing to take a credit card and charge for a no-show, but I find this...inhospitable. They also sent me a text a hour before the res stating that this policy will not be waived for any reason. Boy, that's really setting the tone for a friendly dining experience. And then, the server told us that we would have to order our appetizers and entress all at the same time: policy of the kitchen. She backed down on this demand a few minutes later. Sorry, this is not hosptitality. We won't be back.

Our waitress Julia was amazing! She had so much knowledge about the beautiful location this restaurant is in. I wish I’d had more time to walk around and enjoy the beautiful grounds. Peacocks were hilarious. Flowers were gorgeous everywhere. Staff was extremely kind.

I had an amazing experience at Brabo’s! I went there to try them out because I’d heard great things about them, and they definitely lived up to their expectations. They offered us a very generous sample of their tomato soup, and it was absolutely delicious and flavorful 10/10 for sure! We ordered their large pizza half chicken supreme and half calabrese and they were delicious the dough was very soft perfectly moist and fluffy the topping were also very delicious and fresh. All the food was very high quality, the service was amazing! Everyone was very kind and welcoming, everything was perfect I’m definitely coming back!
