My favorite place!! The food is amazing, the service, staff, and owner are great, & it’s an absolutely beautiful place. Italian food isn’t quite the same anywhere else cause Venuti’s is so delicious. If you have never tried it I recommend you give it a try, you won’t be disappointed. Venuti’s also has a great bar, & a gorgeous Banquet area, when you walk in the entrance it is breathtaking.

We were in town for a wedding and passed by and thought the place looked stunning. We thought we would come back in between lunch and the reception because we had a 5 hour window. We stopped in for a glass of wine and ended up being wowed by the unbelievable service by Tony behind the bar and then owners Franco and Mr. V came over numerous times offering us tastes of their calamari, arancini, the huge focaccia bread stuffed with pasta and salmon and an antipasti plate that was all to die For! They spoiled us treating us like queens. We then met Anthony who was equally as charming waiting on the bar tables. He has been there over 10 years and said he LOVES working there. That longevity is a true testament to a great establishment. They asked us to come back for the Saturday dance party and since it was only 5 minutes from the reception we thought why not. They impressed us so much we returned and danced and had such a wonderful time. We left feeling like we made lifelong friends! We WILL be back and tell everyone who visits the area to stop in!

Food excellent! Bar staff was so friendly including the management. The place was empty upon our arrival on a Saturday afternoon. We bought a bottle of wine with no intention of eating since we just had lunch at a wedding reception down the street. But the manager insisted we try a few of his signature dishes. Wow! Delectable! And he generously comped our bill! We came back that evening for a dance party they were having. The staff welcomed us with open arms. So fun! We will return!!

Venutis......venutis!!!!! My husband and I were visiting venues for our wedding and this was our first place. We compared everywhere else to Venutis, the elegance and THE STAIRSSSS, driving up to it took my breath away. Working with Ciara is the best decision we could have ever made next to choosing each other. She was incredible paitent and professional, just so much fun to work with. She helped us through the whole process and it definetly helped my stress level. She put all our minds at ease and she was just overall perfect! The food was delicious, the staff was attentive and our wedding was nothing short of spectacular! All of out guests enjoyed themselves and so did we. We will be having all of our future events at Venutis! I also want to mention Frank the owner is one of a kind! He truly cares about all his guests. Thanks Venutis, Remi & I love you!

This was definitely a wonderful surprise! Most authentic Italian food ever, every thing our table ordered was simply to die for! Waiter was knowledgeable, courteous, and not pushy at all. I would highly recommend this place for any special dinner or event, we are coming back for a wedding next month and cannot wait!! Don't forget that a Tuesday can be a special day... life is short, enjoy the good things it has to offer on ordinary days because you never know what tomorrow brings!

We recently had our wedding at Venuti's and I truly cannot say enough good things about it! Our wedding coordinator, Karen, was fabulous to work with and very accommodating to all of our needs. She made the process very easy for us! The day of went very smoothly as Venuti's had everything organized and made sure to stick to our timeline. Many of our guests commented on how attentive the wait staff and bartenders were and best of all, they loved the food! We are so happy that we were able to have our reception at Venuti's!

We recently had our wedding here and everything was absolutely perfect!! They put so many finishing touches on our wedding that made it completely memorable and wonderful. We worked with Karen for our wedding and she put us at ease every time we met with her. I knew we were in great hands! The room was beautiful (shoutout to Ruby for the amazing setup) and the food was so much better than any other wedding food we have ever had! You have a personal wedding coordinator day of who makes sure everything runs smoothly. Ours was Theresa and she was an angel! I have never felt so taken care of! If you want to wow your guests and have a great experience at your wedding, we highly suggest you choose to have your wedding here!! Thank you to everyone who made our day so amazing!!

If you are planning a wedding don't think twice! Just go there and ask for Ciara Rivera. She's not only personable and professional but she genuinely cares about your event as if it was hers! She took care of my wedding and everything was spot on, on point and flawless! I couldn't thank her enough! Frank (the owner) is a very genuine and lovely person! He makes you feel at home! Not to mention about the food, excellent and fresh from Italy! I'm not joking. They have everything delivered from Italy and you can taste the difference! If I could I would get married again (with my lovely husband of course!) just to have an excuse to be treated like a princess again and to eat their lovely food! Thank you again! �

Wedding: 2/23 Ruby works wonders! She is one of the reasons my wedding came together, she is very thoughtful about her work. I had the pleasure of meeting with Frank the owner, and he is great. Frank was realistic and honest and his genuine nature is beyond valuable especially when it comes to weddings when you feel the entire industry takes advantage. I could not thank Venuti's enough! They made my wedding spectacular, and people raved about my food. Every guest I spoke to made the same joke: "Maja I cant fit into my dress/suit, the food is amazing"! That is exactly what I wanted to hear, and I am beyond thankful that Venuti's has topnotch food and service. I have attached here photos of my wedding. I used Yanni Design Studio (Decor), Bart Galbas (Photographer) and Diana's Bridal (Dress)!

10/06/2023 Once again a lovely evening at Venuti’s Ristorante. Starting with our favorite “Italian Antipasto for Two”, fresh Prosciutto, mortadella, capocollo, salami, provolone, several types of Italian olives, fresh dinner chunks of Italian cheese and perfectly cooked and seasoned artichoke hearts. Followed by the bartenders recommendation (Tony) Portobello Mushroom Bruschetta, softly toasted thick slices of Italian bread toped with shrimp, avocado, cherry tomato, drizzled with the finest balsamic glazed vinegar, Totally fantastic! Taking a page from my Italian mother, she would always tell me “enjoy everything in moderation”. So we did, we had dessert! First Limoncello , Refreshing Lemon gelato made with lemons from Sicily, swirled together with limoncello sauce, A refreshing taste to clean your palette, absolutely amazing, it will send your taste buds wanting more. Followed by Profiteroles, Cream puffs surrounded by vanilla and chocolate cream, It satisfies all of your cravings at once. And last but not least, Affogato, which means “Drowned” in Italian, A scoop of vanilla gelato topped/drowned with a hot espresso. This was just another great experience at one of the finest Italian restaurants… Check it out, you will not be disappointed. 09/18/2023 This place is fantastic, the best staff! Kudos to Frank, Joanna & Angela you made our evening special . The food….flavorful, fresh, all of it was absolutely amazing, from the appetizer to the encore meal. The dessert… order a slice of carrot cake, you won’t believe how delicious it can be. The drinks… reasonably price, the bartenders are amazing at making custom drinks. Make it a lovely long evening with your special person, you won’t regret it.

This establishment radiates an inviting ambiance with its elegant setting and warm hospitality. My role allowed me to infuse vibrant energy and creativity into events hosted at Venuti's. The management at Venuti's Italian Restaurant & Banquet Hall fosters a supportive environment that values creativity and professionalism. The positive feedback received from clients and guests about the balloon artistry and floral arrangements was truly heartening. It was fulfilling to be a part of an establishment dedicated to delivering exceptional experiences and creating lasting memories for everyone who walked through its doors. Sweety Dream is grateful for the chance to contribute to such a wonderful venue and be part of its commitment to excellence in events and hospitality.

We went for brunch and they had good quality food and great service. I did do wish they had rice or risotto, but it was brunch so I get it.

Recently had our wedding at Venutis and wow I couldn’t not be happier with how it turned out. Ciara was a true pleasure to work with getting everything ready for our day. She made it such a breeze. The venue was so meticulously prepared for our day. The wait staff did such an amazing job at each table making sure each guest was well taken care of. I couldn’t recommended Venutis enough for anyone looking for a wedding venue.

We visited this establishment for a wedding, and while pretty typical, it was still beautiful. The ceremony room was tight with the number of chairs, wedding party including bride and groom, DJ and minister, but the ceremony was quick so we were alright. The tall windows allowed for natural sunlight to illuminate and warm the rooms. The restroom was clean and stocked with tissue, paper towel and hand soap. The reception room was spacious with a dance floor, and the head table was its own centerpiece. The ceiling and window sashes caught my eye. This detail stood out compared to all of the other banquet halls I’ve visited for wedding. It was lovely. The food (salad, pasta, steak, potatoes, seasonal vegetables) was delicious. We left out to get some fresh air so missed dessert and even when we came back we weren’t offered any ::sad face::

Amazing customer service! The food was delicious too. The portion size that I received for my meal was so much that I had leftovers. Our waiter, Anthony, was courteous, and he made sure that we had what we needed. All of our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. I look forward to my next visit.

I just had the honor of holding my wedding at the exquisite Venuti's restaurant and banquet hall, and I can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was. Every part of our special day was wonderfully accomplished, from the excellent Italian cuisine to the impeccable service, leaving us with memories to cherish for a lifetime. Culinary Delights: Venuti's food is absolutely delicious! The menu features a wide selection of delectable Italian cuisine to suit every appetite. From flawlessly cooked steak and chicken cacciatore to wonderful pasta dishes, every plate was a feast of tastes and textures. The cocktail appetizers were equally amazing, with juicy shrimp and savory spanakopita that received rave compliments from our visitors. The bespoke cocktails, such as the masterfully prepared cosmo, refreshing lemon drop, and tempting appletini, brought an extra sense of sophistication and elegance to the event. Venuti's is a spectacular venue that sets the stage for a truly magical event. The beautiful decor and lovely ambiance of the banquet hall create an atmosphere of romance and festivity. Every corner of the venue, whether indoors or outside, has been thoughtfully constructed to provide an unforgettable experience. The meticulous attention to detail in the arrangement, lighting, and general aesthetics results in a picture-perfect setting that went beyond our expectations. Outstanding Staff: A special mention must be made to our contact person, Ciara, who went above and beyond to make our wedding day really unforgettable. Ciara was unrivaled in her warmth, professionalism, and great communication abilities. From the beginning of the planning process to the event itself, she was attentive, responsive, and accommodating to all of our needs. Service: That was nothing short of perfect by the Venuti's employees. From the attentive waitstaff's warm welcome to their professional and courteous treatment throughout the evening, we felt like kings. The scheduling of the courses was flawlessly organized by the personnel, ensuring that each item was presented on time and at the optimum temperature. Their attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond exceeded our expectations. Memorable Experience: Our wedding at Venuti's was an unforgettable event that will live on in our hearts forever. A fantastic night was produced by the mix of excellent cuisine, a magnificent venue, exceptional staff, and impeccable service. Our guests were enthralled by the ambiance, the food, and the level of care and professionalism demonstrated by Venuti's. I highly recommend Venuti's restaurant and banquet venue for any special occasion. Their superb Italian cuisine, magnificent setting, exceptional staff, and unsurpassed service will make your event absolutely unique, whether it's a wedding, anniversary, or any other celebration. Allow them to exceed your highest expectations by putting your trust in their knowledge. Venuti's is an excellent choice for a spectacular event that will make an indelible impact on you and your guests.

This Banquet hall is exquisite, the service is top notch every time we go for dinner. We have gone years in row to New Years Eve and the Venue was amazing. The V LOUNGE has the best DJ’s in Chicago. Highly recommend
