Bravo Italiano




A couple of days ago I wrote about the five star meal at a Japanese restaurant in Norfolk. Today I'll write about an entirely different, but equally pleasing experience in that fine city.




Veneziano is a 3-generation family restaurant serving family Italian food. Home-made minestroni, plateful of spaghetti, fresh bread & a bottle of red wine.


The decoration! The ambience. The music, Italian music: opera, Frank Sinatra. The comfortable tables & spacious booths.

And best of all, [along with the food, of course!] what service. Mother, sisters, cousins, all with a welcoming smile, an inquiry about your well-being, a recommendation if one is needed, knowledge of your usual if you're a regular. Although it's a popular neighborhood [& city-wide] establishment, each customer enjoys an intimate evening of first-rate food.

Grandpere et Grandmere are indeed regulars at Veneziano & therefore I received a true family welcome.

Grazie Grandpere et Grandmere & Grazie Veneziano
