Pasta Veneta

It was my first time in Pasta Veneta, and I can say that it's the best pasta in Chicago. I will definitely recommend this place. The service was excellent as well.

It's rooftop and patio season in Chicago and this spot has thee perfect patio for you to enjoy while having some of their delicious Italian Food!You can watch them making the different pastas right inside of the restaurant, which is super cool! They also have a full bar in the restaurant where you can enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail with your delicious meal!My rigatoni was so good. The pesto sauce on there was perfect and the homemade taste of the pasta makes such a big impact on the meal! I also got some homemade fig ice cream and wow! It was first time having it and it was soooooo good, plus it had pieces of fresh figs on it. Loved it! This newer addition to the Fulton Market area is perfect for the summer! Pay them a visit and tell em that Bri from Planes and Plates sent you! Enjoy!

Went with two of my girlfriends before a concert at the United Center. Was a perfect location to easily get to the United center and had ample parking. We ordered the Croquettes, beet salad and burrata. Could have done without the burrata - but salad and the croquettes will be in my dreams from now on. Pasta is made onsite (we saw a couple chefs making it). I had the tortellini stuffed with spinach and butter sage and a side of meatballs. My friends had a pasta with mushrooms (i forgot what it was called). The pasta is heavenly. So delicious and decadent. I want to go back next time I am there!

We just checked out Pasta Veneta, located in Chicago's Fulton Market. They're the newest sister restaurant to Osteria Del Pastaio, and they're serving authentic Italian cuisine, including homemade pasta, freshly baked bread and artisanal dessert. The interior space is charming, with big windows that let the sunlight pour in, and they have a spacious outdoor patio, lined with pretty, colorful flowers. It's super cute and the perfect destination for a date night with that special someone.During our visit, we ordered several menu items, with our favorites being the Bread Service and Tapenade of the Day, the Avocado & Asparagus Salad in Truffle Vinaigrette, the Frutti Di Mare and the Profiteroles. We really enjoyed the soft, delicious Bread, which we proceeded to dunk in pretty much everything! The Salad was super fresh and we can never get enough truffle. The Frutti Di Mare came loaded with succulent pan-seared shrimp, scallop and lobster atop black and white spaghetti tossed in a slightly spicy red sauce. So yummy! Finally, the Profiteroles were presented beautifully and were delightful.We also got a couple Dirty Martinis during our visit and each enjoyed a glass of Pinot Noir. Both paired perfectly with our Italian feast. This was truly a special little evening. I can't wait to spend more time on their sunny patio this summer and explore more of their lovely wine list!

Came here with a group for dinner, and had some mixed experiences. Food - the dishes themselves tasted amazing, even if portions fall on the smaller size. Service - there were a few unexpected charges for regular water, and bread is extra, too. In addition, a 20% surcharge for a party of 5 when the whole restaurant was almost empty seemed uncalled for.

Had a great dinner here with friends in town. This is the type of place to go if you're craving seafood and varied Italian dishes. Service was great, they change your cutlery between meals, staff were very kind and helpful with recommendations. Well decorated inside, makes you feel like you're eating outdoors with a bistro vibe.Favorite dish of the night has to have been the shrimp ceviche and avocado gem salad. Refreshing! Calamari was nicely spiced, different from the usual.If you want bread service it's $3.50 but it was very good with a yummy olive tapenade. Bottled water or sparkling only, additional $4 per large bottle. But they don't say this up front it's just written on the menu.Other dishes ordered were Frutti de Mare, Risotto Lobster, tuna Carpaccio.They just opened so they're still working on quality but one piece of feedback would be that the seafood was overcooked/drier than usual. Otherwise, well done!

We went to Pasta Veneta last week and had a wonderful experience. We sat outside on the patio and it is very spacious with beautiful flowers. Service was great and food was delicious. We had the bread service, wrapped goat cheese, gnocchi, and lobster ravioli. The pasta is handmade and definitely was the highlight of our meal. We also had the tiramisu which was delicious so make sure to save room for dessert. It's a great spot for both casual dining and special occasions.

This was a great place with wonderful ambiance!We got focaccia to start, it was dry and came out at room temperature. It was only $3.50, so not a bad price and good to use for dipping in pasta sauce. Served with olive tapenade. The bruschetta was topped to the brim! Lol. The mozzarella, tomatoes, zucchini, onions were tossed in dressing and topped on a yummy crunchy bread. I loved this fresh take on bruschetta.The pear salad was a good fresh component. I love arugula and pear, Gorgonzola added a nice nuttiness to the dish. Be sure you like all these items before ordering!Corn ravioli with truffle was soooooo good. Really enjoyed the subtle truffle notes and fresh corn inside the ravioli. The sauce was not too heavy and went perfect with the corn.The pesto is not pictured but also very yummy. Pesto sauce was soooooo creamy and luscious. They have chili flakes if you ask for it, but the chili flakes are not at all spicy. Great time at this restaurant! I'll be back to try more items.

I've been to Pasta Veneta twice, most recently with a couple of my girlfriends last week. Despite arriving to a nearly empty restaurant at 6PM with a reservation for 3, the host/bartender/waiter would not seat us until "all parties arrived", which I thought was a bit strange. After 10 minutes of one of my girlfriends and I waiting at the entrance for our third friend, we were finally seated outside. We started our meal with the beet salad and focaccia, both of which were very tasty. For my main course, I ordered the scallop linguini which I enjoyed. One friend ordered the seafood signature pasta, and another ordered another gnocchi special which we were told would have seafood. When the gnocchi came out, it turned out to be the braised short rib gnocchi dish. When she asked the waiter why there was short rib, he simply said that "that was what you ordered" and didn't try to offer her the correct dish. My friend was too nice to argue and ended up just eating the gnocchi anyway but picked out the short rib. Overall, the food was fairly decent [if ordered correctly], but the service was quite below par. There are tons of better Italian spots in West Loop, so I would come here only if you needed to go somewhere without a reservation.

I always tip 20 percent but having an automatic 20 percent gratuity (for a table of 2) plus 3 percent cc fee with nothing on the menu or first receipt - just leaves a bad tasteFood was great but suprised by this approach
