| - I felt like having Italian and I had been to Veneto Trattoria twice before with my husband a few years ago (once dining inside and the other outside). Both times were wonderful. Well, this time it was just me, my husband wasn't able to come. I called the restaurant because it was a Friday evening and thought it might be busy. Sue, who I now know is the Owner picked up the phone. She had said they were very full and it was a busy night. I told her it would be just me dining. She said there is one open seat at the bar if that was okay and she would hold it for me. I arrived about 15 minutes later and she said "Amy, your seat is has been reserved right over there at the bar". Well, there was a cute little reserved sign and the place settting all set. I felt like a VIP. The Bartender, his name is Felix was so busy, I've never seen someone move so much noticedI me and said "Oh, Amy? I said yes. and he said great, we've been waiting for you". It was like coming home from a long vacation. I was treated so wonderfully and my meal (the lasagna) was so fabulous not to mention their bread (italian thick sliced plus focaccia pieces served with whipped butter) was awesome. I love bread. Felix put a few extra focaccia pieces in my doggie bag since I couldn't finish all my lasagna. They make their own Lemoncello so I had their version of a lemon drop martini with salt on half the rim. It was one of the best I've ever had. When, I got up to go, one of the other servers (who was not responsible for me at all) said to me "thank you for coming". I can't express how well run and how welcoming this restaurant is. The Staff is phenomenal. I made it a point to tell Sue, the Owner my feelings and she smiled with pride. It's nice for an owner of a business to hear good things rather than the usual complaints. Too bad not enough people stop to pay a compliement rather than offer a criticism.
