Via Veneto - Review - Pacific Heights - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Via Veneto is anold-school Italian spotin Pacific Heights, and where you should go when you want free bruschetta, white tablecloths, and a dining room lined with towering magnums of wine. Pastas like lobster ravioli or penne all’amatriciana are hearty and comforting, and should be showered in the provided parmesan and red pepper flakes from the face-sized dish on the table. This is the kind of place where the owners seem to greet decades-long regulars every five minutes, so don’t be surprised if you get the same treatment and are offered a limoncello shot before you’ve signed the check." - Julia Chen
