Such a great restaurant! Best Italian food in the area . Highly recommend đź’« very tasty, clean, fine dining.

Excellent food and service

By Judge A |

Everything was phenomenal. Service wasn’t fast, but wasn’t slow either. About what you’d expect. The atmosphere was great. The staff were very friendly and more than willing to give recommendations or explain things. I ordered a dish that was hand cut pasta in a braised wild boar sauce and it was excellent. The boar was tender and flavorful, the sauce was delicious and the pasta was excellent. I wish it came with a little more Parmesan though. The Margherita pizza was very filling and also quite good. The beef bolognese was amazing, good portion size and amazing flavor. The tortelli was amazing as well, stuffed with veal and mushrooms in a delicious and slightly creamy sauce. The gelato was also excellent, you get two scoops and can choose multiple flavors. The chocolate gelato was very flavorful and delicious, but the raspberry sorbet blew it out of the water. Some of the best I’ve ever had. The cone bowl it comes in is good too, with a cinnamon flavor to it instead of just regular ice cream cone. Great place to come with family, friends or even alone.

Poor Service

By Ashleysarah1 |

Poor Service! I’m so sad, I really wanted to like this place, the food was okay, the service was not. Staff wanted to give away our reserved table, hurried us throughout the meal, wouldn’t split the check and were just generally rude and not helpful or accommodating. Super disappointed. There are thousands of places to eat on the strip, I will NOT return here nor will my friend. Brera-DO BETTER!

Disappointed in food, but service was excellent.

By Sergio1954 |

We tried this for the first time even though we go to the Venetian quite a bit. Our reservation was honored right on time. Its a nice place to sit and people watch on St. Marks square. We had the squash blossoms as an appetizer and they were excellent. Needed a bit more of the spicy sauce. My husband had the tortellini stuffed with veal. You really couldnt taste veal -- could have been anything. Butter sauce didnt have a lot of flavor. I had the Paparelle with boar ragu. It was very rich and a good portion - but just no flavor. I almost wanted to ask for salt!! so overall the main courses were underwhelming. They had a nice desert which they comp'd for a special event. That was probably the best thing we had. The service though was excellent. Our server (Nanette) gave us all of the information on the dishes we ordered. The support staff were on the ball with anything we requested. I would rate the service 5 stars - but the food a 3 --- thats why the 3 star (medium) rating. I wouldnt personally recommend.

Must go place

By AandN08 |

I highly recommend this place. It is located in St. Marks Square in the Venetian, the entire place is "outside" in the square, so can be a bit loud. But the service and food are more than worth it. We had an exceptional server, Carlos! He went above and beyond to make our meal amazing. We did not have a single moment of needing anything. I can be incredibly indecisive when I am faced with a menu full of things I want to eat, compound that with being hungry and... not great... Carols was super patient and made suggestions which were all top notch. Everything we had was beyond delicious. The gnocchi was probably my favourite part. We got the chance to try three different desserts, chocolate cake, cheese cake and tapioca panna cotta . The panna cotta was soooo good, I did not want to share at all, and am still sad I did not get to eat the entire thing myself. Highly recommend this place, you will not be disappointed. Between the food and the staff, you will leave happy!

Nothing exceptional

By Sergio1954 |

We normally go to Canaletto's (right next to Brera) but friends advised that we should try Brera. We were seated on time, and the menu had a lot of choices. They offer a bread basket ($8) which is good, but no hot bread or anything special. I had the veal stuffed ravioli (which I thought was delicious) and my husband had the lasagna. We normally don't have appetizers because it gets to be too much food. The octopus appetizer was $36 -- I thought that was high. My husband said his lasagna was nothing special and when he tasted mine, he wasn't impressed either. Unfortunately, because he did not enjoy either of our dishes, we will not be going back and would not recommend to friends.

Don’t be fooled by the setting, go somewhere else

By Michael G |

Looks good from the outside and the service was great but the food was expensive and really bad. The pasta was over cooked and tasteless and the pizza was just a pizza. Frightfully expensive for fast precooked tasteless food, served quickly. Never again.

Would go back in a second

By mainefan |

Really cool setting having the sun set while you are eating even though you are indoors. Every bite we had was excellent. Would go back in a second.

Great food, place is a bit crowded with tourists

By Vacati0nier |

We love this place for enjoyable Italian dining experience (St. Mark square of course is fake but also cool). The food is always good there, big selection of Italian pasta dishes, good drinks. Tried something new this time - beef cheek - and it did not disappoint. While it is a bit of a tourist trap otherwise, you can easily spent few hours there enjoying food, drinks and a good conversation with friends. Just ignore the tourist crowd.

Perfect pizza

By hugmee |

Set in the stunning square, takes you to Italy , pizza was one of the best , with attentive service , Italian rose wine also very nice

Very Nice Ambiance; OK Food

By PVBeachFL |

Was staying at Venetian with my wife and another couple. In town for the U2 concert at the Sphere the night before. Separate review…the Sphere is absolutely amazing and a must-go for a next generation concert experience. Read reviews beforehand…section 200 is better than floor tickets. Back to the restaurant. Very nice location in “St. Mark’s Square”. All seating is “outdoors”. For Vegas first timers, it’s a pretty cool experience. See pics on TripAdvisor or on their website. Ordered the calamari appetizer. Was ok, not especially tasty or memorable. Same with the veal parmesan. The others ordered the wild boar pappardelle which was much better and more flavorful. If you are going for the “view” it’s a good choice, but if for the food, there are better options.

Treated Us Right

By Traveler3 |

This restaurant was not on our planned list, but we had stumbled onto it, when we were out and about. We missed breakfast and were there shortly after 11a.m. We were seated immediately and given the royal treatment. We tried the 3course tasting menu. All was delicious but our favorites were the meatballs, gnocchi, and banana bread pudding.

Great service, delicious food

By hilohiomom |

Friends and I had a great time at this restaurant. We stopped for a snack and a drink while marching around The Venetian. Our waiter was so friendly and informative. It was happy hour, so we got a great deal on some pizzas and cocktails. Our waiter knew exactly what we wanted and pointed us to the perfect combinations of food to order. He made us feel so welcome.

Filling Italian cuisine at the Venetian

By SharpandSound |

Visited for early dinner at 5 pm without a reservation and was promptly seated. The restaurant does have a happy hour mention that you will have to request. The pasta was flavorful and hearty and I enjoyed the blackberry spritz which was a refreshing twist on the aperol spritz. Interior to the Venetian. $$

Top Notch

By BBBBTravel |

Wasnt hungry but enjoyed the food immensely. Had the calamari with peppers etc. wow! Went with a huge tasty salad. Family had beautiful tortellini. Price not too bad.

Very good restaurant located in the Venetian

By Inothreeputt |

Great place for a bite before visiting The Sphere…easy walking distance from the Venetian restaurant row. Cacio pepe and the pizzas were very good. Returned a few days later for a late night pizza a few days later. Service was very good.

Pricey with disappointing service

By medanne1 |

I had made a reservation requesting a birthday desert with a candle. We had our food which was good. The kids macaroni and cheese was great. The meatballs were good and the veal tortellini was okay. The end of the meal came and no desert with a candle. What irks me is that the night before we had just that at The Steak House.

A breath of Fresh Air in the Venetian- Excellent Ambiance, Service and Food. This place is a gem!

By zenlady |

From the warm welcome from Ernesto our server to the impeccable detail to my food allergy,the fresh, beautifully prepared salad and authentic Neapolitan pizza , Brera is a welcomed relief from all the other restaurants in Vegas. I felt like Ernesto , his assistant Victor and the kitchen staff genuinely cared about our experience. We will be returning every time we are in Vegas.

Good but not hearty enough

By Michaël B |

Good Italian restaurant with fairly qualitative products. However, prices are too high relative to the portions served. Recommendation: spaghetti cacio e pepe

Great spot for lunch

By WPLandry |

This is a lovely place to grab lunch if you're in the Venetian. We enjoyed the atmosphere. The service was great. Food was delicious and the wine list had all the right stuff. We would definitely recommend it.

Excellent happy hour & 5 star service

By nicolaleeds_UK |

Excellent happy hour menu, great authentic Italian pizza and wine will definitely be coming back here when we come back to Las Vegas

Amazing Italian food, great service. Highly recommend

By GGL50 |

An Italian friend recommended this place so we knew it would be great and we were not disappointed. We ordered papardelle pasta with wild boar sugo and the Amatriciana pizza. Both were awesome! The pasta seemed fresh ,cooked al dente and the meat was so tender. The pizza was tasty and crust was cooked perfectly. Our waitress was so friendly, attentive and earnest. The dessert menu looked awesome but we were too full to try. Ordered coffee instead and even the coffee was of highly quality. Love the ambiance too!

Do not go here

By Deborah N |

Do not go here. We experienced some very strange service. Our primary waiter was just not into his job but he wanted you to think he was, pretending to be a mafioso. The appetizer came out before we even got bread or drinks. Drinks ordered at the same time, came out at different times. Two of our mains came out warmish and we asked for them to be heated, they came back at the same temperature. The icing on the cake was when they told us they didn't split checks. We were sat closest to the busing station and all of the waiters kept bunching up in the area, taking up our space. A disappointing experience all the way around.

Average

By Patron17 |

Under whelming meal in the Venetian. The location is fabulous in Marks Square however the lasagna was cold- flavorful- but cold. The Cesar salad needs to be cut as it’s just whole leaves of romaine. - portions are smaller than other places, but appreciate that it is made is house. Staff is attentive. 2 other options in the square that were packed —. Guess we know why.

Drinks only

By Rubber_Duckie89 |

We went for drinks only, and was able to get a space for 4 of us at the counter as a walk in. Great selection of Negronis, other interesting cocktails and a fabulous atmosphere. Our waitress was from Florida and she was great too. I wish we had made a reservation for dinner as we really enjoyed the experience here.

Great setting and good food

By Maria S |

Very nice restaurant in St Marks piazza at the Venetian. Staff was attentive and friendly. Food was very good. We got a salad to start that was big enough to share. All of us got pasta dishes, and each was very good & tasted fresh.

Canceled Happy Hour

By Cara |

We were looking forward to adding this restaurant to our happy hour crawl through the resort although after sitting down we were informed that they would not be doing happy hour due to a convention going on. Gives off an unpleasant cheap vibe, cost cutting at every corner. We went somewhere else where the full price cocktails actually were worth it.

Wonderful dinner in a great spot in the Venetian

By Thomas E |

We have dined at the spot next door before, but as it was very busy, we elected to try here for dinner. We were not disappointed. Food and service was excellent. It's also right on St. Marks square inside the Venetian shops which made it a great people watching location (one of our favorite Las Vegas activities). Their $65 prixe fixe menu is a good option.

Very good late night Italian cuisine

By laceylouise |

My wife and I stopped for a late night bite on a Tuesday. We shared a Caesar salad and enjoyed Cacio E Pepe and mushroom risotto. All the food tasted really good, the service was very good as well. A very solid experience for Italian cuisine in the Venetian.

Amazing dinner on our last day in Vegas

By Stay16919071106 |

We came to this restaurant with our two young boys on the last day of our trip and the food was amazing. The service was great and we can't wait to come back. Thank you so much for making us feel so welcome

Food so tasteless we thought me must have Covid

By maestro h |

My wife and I counted this restaurant as one of our favorites under it's old name, but now it's one of the worst meals we've ever had. The service is terrific, the ambience is enchanting, but my wife had the pasta - tasteless! I had the pizza - tasteless! We're so disappointed that we have to strike an old favorite from our list. Boo.

This place is AWESOME!!!

By beltranc70 |

I can only say… AWESOME!!! Try it and let them pamper you… and we only had appetizers… almost cancelled my reservation for dinner at another place…

Another gem inside The Venetian H&C!

By GCState |

I wanted to check out this new Italian restaurant since most of the Vegas foodie bloggers I watch on YouTube really loved this place! So, I made a reservation for dinner and I’m so glad I did! The bloggers were not kidding! My Husband and I so loved the authentic Italian flavors they offered, we came back for more the following evening for another wonderful dinner! The bread, salad, the entrees we had: pizza, sea bass, capesante with a side of pasta were all delicious and the Tiramisu was also amazing ! The service was excellent both nights. Reasonably priced too! We’d definitely place this in our top 3 of our favorite restaurants in Vegas. Highly recommended folks!

Delicious casual Italian restaurant

By Noor |

4 excellent meals and we each tried something different- 3 past dishes and 1 pizza. Very good chopped salad and gelato for dessert.

You know it was good if I take the time uploading photos

By Ldiva001 |

This very wonderful restaurant is in the Venetian hotel. Wow, we went to the happy hour and it was half off pizza and wine specials. The pizza was probably the best I have ever eaten (fungi). The wine was a very nice selection. I brought my granddaughters and we ordered the kids spaghetti for my picky granddaughter. She said it was the best she had ever eaten and the meatballs were so delicious. It was explained to us that they make their own spaghetti. But what I really want to rave about is our waiter James. He made us feel so special we also felt like we knew him forever. What a nice person and great waiter he is. He made time to tell us about the menu and what he felt was special. Special note to you James: Hope your trip was great and thanks for the tip about the island with entertainment in PV.

Very disappointing on more than one level

By Paula S |

Early dinner on a Thursday evening so no crowds. Had heard of this new restaurant so thought we’d give it a try. We are locals. We were seated immediately. Drink orders taken. Surprised by the high price for wine by the glass. We ordered the Polpo appetizer. The octopus was cooked perfectly and delicious. The bed of garbanzo mush it was sitting on was terrible. Mushy, lumpy, flavorless. We ordered two pizzas recommended by the server. The Margherita Pizza had no flavor, very little sauce. No basil. Only a bit of dried Italian seasoning sprinkle. The crust was good. The other pizza had sausage, arugula, cheese and pancetta. Once again very little sauce or sausage. Dry and tasteless. The Scallops were cooked perfectly. However, for $39 I’d expect to get more than three! They cut them in half to make you think you got more. They were served with tiny cut white boiled potatoes that had zero seasoning. The Pappardelle pasta was average. Small portion. When we received the bill we noticed that we had been charged higher than the menu price totaling $30! When we brought it to the servers attention he said no we hadn’t been overcharged until I showed him the pictures I had taken of the menu! He adjusted the bill. When I got home I looked at the menu price on the website and it was even lower than the menu we had received! The prices have changed three times! Rip off! Beware!

Great lunch!

By Margy H |

Great lunch at Brera! The food was delicious, the service was terrific, and the ambience was lovely. We only had main courses - no appetizers or desserts - but we both enjoyed our food very much.

Overpriced

By RFJ |

For $69 I received a glass of wine and a few sea scallops with the saltiest bacon I've ever tasted. Scallops were cooked properly and presentation was pretty, but this really was more of an appetizer. Given these prices no wonder I was seated quickly. Service was all right.

Great happy hour, complementary appetizer, authentic Italian pizza from wood burning g ovens.

By Andrew B |

We visited twice it was so good. We had various appetizers from stuffed squash flowers to deep fried soft shell crabs. Attentive service, with very cool atmosphere.

Legitimate

By Ranger25 |

Found a high quality legitimate Wood Fired Place in the Venetian. Had. A chance to check out their ovens and found them to be real. Great crust, light and crispy, sauce was very good the Cacio e Pepe was like eating in in Rome. All very good paired with nice wines.

Most dreadful meal

By mariamacaloney |

Having eaten at this restaurant I must say it was the worst meal I have ever had! . The fried Calamari was served severely undercooked. When asking for a gnocchi dish just to have plan sage and butter , again the gnocchi was undercooked and drenched in Parmesan which made the meal uneatable! To top all of the Aperol spritz was served with an olive which is unheard of . Waiters very untrained did not even know how to pronounce the Italian dishes which is very poor ! Overall the worst experience anyone that is worldly travelled and has a refined palate to have to endure a meal at this restaurant!

You need one thing in your life, their gnocchi.

By MikeP2533 |

Literally blown away at the gnocchi with arugula pesto. It was insanely delicious. The meatballs were tender and delicious. The tenderloin was very good, but needed a little butter or a tiny bit of jus. The crostata was very good, but the panna cota was not for me. Overall, highly recommended.

Good experience

By Leigh |

We stopped here later in the evening after visiting a show at the Sphere with a group of us. The service was quick and friendly. They bring out bread with a tomato flavoured butter and olive oil for dipping for the table. We tried the Burrata for an appetizer and I got the Tortelli for my entree. Both were really good! Good portion size too! I think we should have told the waitress that we wanted to split the bill ahead because she seemed a bit annoyed with us when we asked. It was a nice spot though in the Venetian and we all enjoyed our meals.

Good Italian

By Robert C |

This is a typical Las Vegas hotel restaurant. Expensive Italian food. It tasted good and we had good service. If we had our own transportation we probably would have not eaten at a restaurant in a hotel casino.

Very good food

By mrsk9911 |

The food was delicious, i ordered a pizza and my husband requested a modified item by getting gnocchi with red sauce which was very good. We were seated at a two person table right by the entrance which left something to be desired. It wasn't the greatest but it did ruin our meal.

Great service in the canal shops

By Marti D |

I was staying at the Venetian and had an early morning so found this in the canal shops. Sat at the bar and had nothing but great service. The food was great (lovely seeing a Caesar with anchovies) and the wine selection was good.

Medicare

By MNWorldTraveler |

Friendly service. Food was just OK for the price. Nice chopped salad. Other entrees (chicken, shrimp, pasta) were nothing special and served only lukewarm.

Wouldn’t go there

By Cranberryflash |

Had reservations. Couldn’t seem to get waited on others were seated and waited on. while we waited and waited. We left So many good Italian restaurants in the VENETIAN no need not to expect good service One should try Buddy. Great Italian food and amazing service Husband had asked waiter to take our order. Um! I thought he was going to deck my husband for asking him. We left!

ANTI ADELE HAPPY HOUR !

By NYJETS69 |

Arrived in Vegas just in time to find out Adele canceled her show . Had to make the best of it , so staying at the Venetian , we pulled up a couple of bar seats at Brera Osteria . We had a couple glasses of Chardonnay , squash blossoms and a brick oven pizza , all very good , service was good as well . The only thing a bit odd is almost all the bar seats have a pillar in front of you .

Lovely

By L M |

Went here for happy hour. Really reasonably priced! Got the pizza that was similar to pepperoni, so light and tasty. Also had the meatballs. Really reasonably priced during happy hour!

Dinner before the Sphere Experience

By Amy C |

We made a reservation online. It was convenient as we stayed at the Palazzo and went to the Sphere afterward. It is in the shops area so good people watching. We had delicious cocktails, meatballs for an app and then homemade pasta - beef bolognese and pesto gnocchi and shared a chocolate lava cake. Food and service were good.

Lunch in St. Mark’s Square (Vegas)

By AlaskanVoyagers |

Dined early at Brera and my wife and I enjoyed the three course lunch chefs menu. She had the salad, chicken, and panna cotta. I had the fritto misto, pizza Margherita, and the bread pudding. All were scrumptious, and the chicken was exceptional. The service was excellent as well. The restaurant seating is in the Venetian’s St. Mark’s Square, and you don’t have to worry about pigeons paying you a visit.

Lunch

By ALICE E |

We were looking for a light lunch. The atmosphere was great. Entertainment provided in the square. We had the Fritto Misto and the Cappio pizza. Both were outstanding. Everything was fresh and the fried calamari and veggies were very lightly breaded and no heavy oil taste.

Rushed and Not Group Friendly

By amyaebi |

I booked a reservation for seven two weeks ahead of time, as we were coming to Vegas for a work conference and wanted a nice place to meet and talk for dinner. Most of us arrived 10 minutes early, and were seated at the bar because they wouldn’t give us our table until the entire party was there. Two of our party were lost and by the time they arrived - 10 minutes after our reservation time - they had given our table away. We were seated and moved eventually to accommodate our whole party, but were very rushed through our meal. At the end they announced that we could only split the check three ways because of the time it would take. I’ve never had that experience before. I felt like, for the amount of apps/food/drinks we ordered, that we were treated like an inconvenience. The food was very good, but there is lots of amazing food in the Venetian. I will never eat there again and would not recommend because of the service.

Excellent food and service

By chrisdc1979 |

Everything we had was absolutely delicious! Google maps sent us to the wrong place initially, but we called and the lady we spoke with was patient and helpful and got us there about 5 minutes after our reservation time and all was well. Cocktails were fantastic, just the plain pasta was amazing and my 10 year old - who is a cheeseburger fanatic - said the kids cheeseburger was probably in his top 5 cheeseburgers of all time.

Best meal of our trip!

By Pattypattypatty75 |

The best service and the most amazing food we had during our trip. It was last minute, but we are SO GLAD we did!! Fantastic

Delicious food but agree a little rushed

By The Sane Adventurer |

I went for a business meal with a colleague and my Branzino was brought out amazingly fast but not coordinated with my colleagues pizza. So my plate was sitting for another 6 minutes waiting for pizza. Wine steward made a great selection recommendation, given my selection was out of stock. When all said and done my fish was delicious and gelato tasty.

Lovely setting in Palazzo

By Ros T |

We only went here for a night time cocktail, but it was very enjoyable and a lovely setting. The food looked good too and the staff were friendly.

Great lunch

By TravelingMom0713 |

This was our first lunch in Vegas. We really enjoyed everything. We started with the bread, meatballs, and cauliflower. Four of us shared one of the pizzas, the gnocchi and the tortellini. Everything was excellent, but the gnocchi was amazing. Service was fast, friendly and attentive. Highly recommend, especially for people watching.

Delicious Dinner

By Anna B |

Brera was delicious and a great experience! The dinner seating is a little cramped but still felt comfortable. Had the gnocchi and it was delicious. There was no wait even though we went on a busy Saturday night. I would definitely return!

Wonderful, high quality food.

By travelin f |

We had an excellent meal here. The fungi pizza was outstanding. All the food was fresh with great ingredients. We chatted with a chef seated next to us and I asked him why this food was so good. He said, “high quality ingredients”. Enough said!

Birthday dinner

By celyblue |

The pasta was fresh and delicious,I had Sangria it was very tasty.The waiter very helpful .Was a birthday dinner and they served a little cake with candle.Very nice ambience, friendly staff ,very good food . I will recommend.

Amazing restaurant!! Don’t miss it, especially happy hour

By Debbie N |

Happy hour was the best ever!! The food is amazing. Service spectacular. Elean was our server and Ricardo is the manager. They run a well oiled machine. Everyone in the restaurant was pleasant, helpful, and knowledgeable

Great Pizza

By uryufriend |

This was a great place to stop after a long day. The service was great and all of our food was delicious. The meatballs were a fantastic appetizer. The pizza was delicious and the perfect amount to split between 2 people.

Good Italian restaurant

By ALMD |

Good Italian restaurant. The service is standard, the food is good. Try the risotto with bone marrow, wow. Again, very dark like all the Venetian restaurants. They do have kids menu.

Excellent light lunch - but music too loud

By Louis M |

We had a light lunch in the St Mark’s Square section of the Grand Canal Shops. As in Venice this is out in the open, and there was a group playing and singing traditional Italian songs. Unlike Venice this was heavily amplified, ands rather overpowering. The Bruschetta and the Polpo (charred octopus on a chickpea puree) was tasty and just right, and the service was quick and efficient.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

By Yaniv D |

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! The food so tasty, the service was too far from the reality of restaurant services and the atmosphere was so respectful and mindful.

Eat here

By Abbi J |

Best meal of our trip to the Venetian! Everything was delicious. We opted for the summer fixed price meal of $30 for a starter (we each chose the delicious salad), main course (we both chose the margherita pizza), and dessert (one chocolate with vanilla gelato and the other was a tapioca-fruit). Service was outstanding - attentive but not invasive. Everything was amazing, highly recommend this restaurant.

Great service and delicious food

By Heidi W |

This was a really great experience. The staff were absolutely wonderful-friendly and very professional. The food was delicious and quick. Brer Osteria also has a very good wine selection. The atmosphere is lovely as well.

Good Italian food and a great place for people watching

By Jim K |

Good Italian food and good gluten free options. Great plaza for people watching while enjoying a good meal. Prices were reasonable and portions were generous. Definitely would go back

Came for Happy Hour - better HH elsewhere

By Maria O |

This review is only for the Happy Hour. We wanted to stop for a bite and early cocktail. They have a different kind of HH - with every cockail that you order, the chef will at his discretion give you an appetizer along with your drink (cocktails and wine are pricey) We ordered two glasses of the Falaghina wine ($17 each) and the chef assigned us the cauliflour appetizer and the shrimp dish. I dislike cauliflour so I did not eat any of it however, the shrimp dish (2 shrimps) was delicious. We ordered the pizza starter (Diavolina $9) and it was very good. The trouble with the chef assigning your appetizer is what if you don't like the food that they give you? Probably won't return as there are better HH places in the Venetian.

Great food, service and location

By dcrose |

One of our best meals in Vegas. The service was very good and the pasta was amazing. Add to that is the nice location in the square where you can hear singers perform and has a nice ambience.

Fantastic Everything

By GWM160 |

We really enjoyed everything about this restaurant. The service was great and the food delicious. The salmon was fantastic with the succotash and lentils. The frito misto was quite unique with more of a tempura batter on the seafood and vegetables. The atmosphere of St. Mark’s Square adds to the experience. Spring for the bread service!

It's ok

By Antonia W |

Stayed at Venetian. 8yo daughter wanted pasta so went here as they had a kids menu. Made reservations via open table for wed night at 7 but still had to wait maybe 7 min. Great and fast service. Bread is extra $8 but yummy. Manager checked in to make sure all was good. Appetizer beets were awesome. Stuffed ravioli with braised lamb was ok. There are so many Italian spots in Venetian, I would probably try another one before committing to just this one.

Do yourself a solid and order the gnocchi

By Nicole P |

We went for Happy Hour on Valentine's Day and there was a massive amount of confusion about the happy hour specials being available since it was a holiday. Each server told us something different, we switched from the dining room to the bar and after multiple conversations we were offered the happy hour specials. Of the 4 of us, everyone enjoyed their meals. The gnocchi was among the best we've ever tried. Highly recommend the bolognese. After a rough start, it was a fantastic meal. Lovely place.

Great experience.

By Yoosik Ethan Oum |

Our family dinner for Christmas Eve was here and what a great experience. Great setting in the grand canals shoppes. Great atmosphere, excellent service, the menu was good, I loved the appetizers and the seafood pasta I ordered. We all had a good time. No major issues I can think of. Thanks for a great dinner experience.

Eat here!!!!

By Mary C |

Brera is located on the top floor of Restaurant Row which is attached to the Venetian. I stopped in Brera after a show. I was able to get in at the bar without a reservation. The menu selection is really good with authentic appetizers and main course selections. If you sit on the right side of the bar you can watch the chefs cook and prep. I had the roasted chicken and an Aperol Spritz. I loved it!!! Chicken came with Couscous and Kale. I’d give this place a try.

Small portions

By Shampeu |

We had a really attentive waitress and some of our dishes were good but the portions were tiny, even for Vegas. The $21 caesar salad that was meant to share for four people was barely enough for two. It was tasty but small. The $25 margherita pizza was lacking in cheese and oregano. The two pasta dishes were appetizer sized, even though they were main entrees and $28 each.

Best Italian on the square

By Sadie W |

We stayed in vegas for 5 days and came here 3 times The food was absolutely amazing, as was the service on our last meal axel was fantastic and we really appreciated the manager Melissa coming to check in on us too We had a mix of food each time and drinks but can really recommend the pizzas and the aperol

Quick Meal before a Show at the Sphere.

By cjmretired |

Quick bite to eat before show at the Sphere. My wife and I shared a 12 inch pizza with sausage, ham, mushrooms, and cheese. Right size for two and I loved the crispy crust. The Venetian is a fast way to get to the Sphere and avoid the traffic.

Good Food, Great Service

By Sharron H |

This restaurant is in the St. Mark's Square area of the Venetian Resort complex. We just happened to walk by without a reservation. The hostess found us a table. The meal was tasty with great service. There was live music playing for most of our meal. We had coffee and (handcrafted) gelato after the music ended, but it felt like something you might experience in actual Venice. This was one of the few restaurants we visited in the resort with restrooms that didn't require you to walk outside the eatery.

Flavors were amazing! Go here while in Vegas.

By Phil W |

Amazing experience, food was absolutely G-R-E-A-T!!! The flavors were amazing on every dish. The beet salad was the best dish ever. The chef does an amazing job!!! Service was very friendly and the atmosphere was top notch! Great value and great taste! Looking forward to returning.

Average

By Heather |

I had the funghi pizza, the bread service and a blood orange Italian cream soda. Our server Ramiro wasn't attentive at all. Another server brought our water and took our order, and Ramiro didn't follow up with us after we got our food to make sure everything was ok. The bread service was very good, but the pizza was just average. The people I dined with both said their pasta wasn't very good either.

Wonderful Happy Hour Experience

By Chrissac |

This was our third time visiting Brera Osteria and our waiter (I think Ernesto was his name) actually remembered us from our last visit. He so patiently accommodated us needing separate checks for 3 couples due to differing levels of hunger. The menu for their happy hour is wonderful. Pizzas/flatbreads and appetizers at a very reasonable price, along with a wide selection of wine and cocktails at reduced prices made for a very enjoyable time for us all. The atmosphere is awesome, sitting in St. Mark's Square. It's one of our favorite restaurants to go to when in Vegas, and we highly recommend. The Asst. General Manager, Melissa Villatoro, came to our table to personally thank us for being repeat customers, and generously sent over a delicious dessert. Highly recommend the pistachio creme brulee! This restaurant is a gem and the food is so delicious.

A gem in the Venetian for Happy Hour

By Greg B |

We found this gem on a previous trip to Vegas and discovered their amazing happy hour menu that runs from 2-6pm daily. This place is in St. Mark's Square in the Venetian and the view is amazing. The happy hour appetizers and drinks are always amazing and you can't beat the prices for Vegas. Appetizers for about $10 and drinks about the same. We have had pretty much every appetizer on the happy hour menu and all of them are top notch. My wife and I typically order a couple each and have a mini buffet combined with probably the best Aperol Spritz in Las Vegas! Keep up the amazing work!!! Highly recommended!!!!

Excellent Food and Service

By Karen |

I found both great food and service at Brera. The salad, pasta and tiramisu were not just run of the mill Italian fare, they were all interesting ingredients and absolutely delicious. I enjoyed it so much that I went back a second night to try the special pizza and it was a treat.

Superb service - good, not great, pizza

By Take-Her-To-The-Zoo |

We stopped in for a quick lunch and had a glass of Pino Griggio, bottle of Perrier and a Coppia pizza. First, the service is exemplary - we never waited for anything and were treated as if we were the most important diners in the restaurant. In a city where this is not common, it's important to emphasize. We shared a Coppia pizza which combines Riccota cheese, Prosciutto and Sausage. The crust was sensational, definitely not frozen and it had wonderful smoked flavor and texture. The pizza overall was delicious, but one element kept it from being great: the prosciutto was unchewable. Good prosciutto should melt in your mouth, the fat should be buttery. The prosciutto they used on the Coppia was flavorful but the fat was literally unchewable - when you got to the mound of prosciutto on your slice you couldn't bite off just part, it was all or nothing because the fat was too tough to portion. We tried to pull it apart so you don't have to eat the whole slice of prosciutto in one mouthful but we couldn't. It's that tough. It didn't ruin the experience, but with some great prosciutto this would have been a memorable pizza. Because it wasn't good prosciutto the pizza ended up being badly overpriced, hence the "poor" value rating. Change that, and we'd gladly pay their prices.

Great service

By Moira F |

We only stopped for a drink and a pizza margarita at the bar. Service was excellent and friendly. Pizza was delicious. Love sitting in the st marks section.

Great gnocchis in Piazza San Marco, at the Venetian.

By Claudio V |

Beat gnoccis ever! Everyone was very nice and friendly. We had a Malbec with the gnocchi and it was very good wine. The location inside the Piazza San Marco made the atmosphere really good too. We really loved it.

Couldn’t love it more 🍕🇮🇹

By Megan B |

Lovely service and the food was outstanding, complemented by the live violin in the atrium. I suggest reservations, as it was packed.

What an unexpected delight!

By winnipeger2 |

We had tried to get into Matteo on the casino level at the Venetian but it was full so they suggested we try this restaurant, which we understood was a sister restaurant. It was busy too, but they managed to find us a table and it turned into an unexpected delight! The tables were out on a 'patio' strip in the Grande Shoppes, right near the gondola stream so the ambience was so nice. The food was absolutely excellent! We just wanted something light so we had a pizza and the delicious arugula salad with calamari as an appetizer. The latter was some of the best we have ever had. It included tempura-type vegetables as well, and everything was crisp and light. No taste of over-used oil. To add to the experience, our waiter, Guiseppe (I think) was also exceptional. This was a happy serendipitous experience all around.

Well ok, nothing too much for the price it charges!

By FardinCruz |

The meals were not surprising, only the pumpkin, packed with cheese, was quite different. The attendant was great!

Mangia Delizioso

By modefan |

Hands down, the best restaurant at the Venetian and one of the best in Vegas. The service was impeccable and the food was delizioso. We t opted for the Chefs Tasting Menu where you get to choose your appetizer, main and dessert. Our server helped make amazing decisions and recommended a most delicious bottle of wine to pair with dinner. I highly recommend Brera Osteria if you're visiting Vegas, you will not be disappointed.

Convenient and delicious pre-Sphere meal!

By Justin C |

We came to Vegas for a U2 Sphere weekend show. I booked this restaurant due to it being in the Venetian, anticipating a short walk to the Sphere. Little did we know that this restaurant was probably the best positioned restaurant in St. Mark's Square to get on the path to the Sphere. We were seated promptly at our reservation time. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We ordered a number of small plates, all of which were fresh and delicious (meatballs, winter beet salad, and bruschetta), all classic Italian dishes. As a main, we shared a Coppia pizza, margherita style, and this was also very tasty. The prices were all in the high teens to mid twenties. Very reasonable, very tasty. Will definitely remember this restaurant for the next time we have a chance to go to an event at the Sphere.

So disappointed!!!

By CJW2013 |

Bummer. Quality not even close to Batelli's restaurant that was in this space a few years ago. Should have gone to any of the establishments either side of this place. Food here pretty tasteless, unimaginative, service slow, staff disinterested and then tried too hard to compensate for it's short comings. Many other great places to spend your money at the Venetian, go to them!!

Best Dining Option in the Venetian

By Samuel M |

We dined here after a long day at the Venetian Resort and the Sphere, and it was a great choice. Brera is located upstairs on the second level of the Venetian where the Grand Canal Shoppes begin, but unlike those expensive stores this restaurant is reasonably priced and features a nice variety of menu items for any budget. Service was prompt and very friendly, and our meals were both cooked to perfection and delicious. The atmosphere here is really nice as you sit 'outside' the Grand Canal Shoppes, emulating the experience of dining at dusk in Venice. Of course no place is perfect and two improvements would make this place even better. First, it's dark and it can be a challenge to read the menu (so don't forget the reading glasses). Second, the addition of serving bread or rolls before your meal arrives requires an extra charge and that was disappointing. Any restaurant with an 'Italian dining theme' should provide bread or dinner rolls complimentary. But, overall this was one of our better choices when dining in Vegas with our most recent visit, and far less expensive than many of the other restaurants within the Venetian. We highly recommend dining here.

Excellent Happy Hour

By nicolaleeds_UK |

This is our third time for the happy hour menu and it’s great value for money. Pizzas are authentic, thin, crispy based - baked in the pizza oven (sit at the bar and you can watch them being made). Meatballs are best outside of Italy and a freshly baked bread board with balsamic butter is a must to kick off. Excellent quality wine too. Each time we’ve had fantastic service too. Our go to for a fun early dinner when in town

Exceptional Atmosphere & Food

By RachaelMurrell |

Went for lunch. Shared the Meatball starter which was delicious and a good size to share between 2. For main I had the Chicken Parmigana which was delicious and a great sized portion for Lunch, somewhat too big to be honest. Staff were attentive and super helpful in noting some dietary requirements. The atmosphere in St Marks Square is exceptional to enjoy a relaxing meal. It's not cheap, but worth the money.

This place blew our minds!

By Sunshine592982 |

The bruschetta with fig jelly drew us into the restaurant, and it blew our minds. Then we had the carbonara and, no lie, it's the best we've ever tasted. The service was outstanding, as well. Valerie and Gascon took amazing care of us. There's so much to do in the Venetian Hotel, but it was hard to leave this restaurant!

Excellent food, but not a great atmosphere.

By Vacaygirl8 |

Food was excellent, but we had a reservation for 5 and they seated us 20 minutes after the reservation and squeezed our family in the middle of a crowd with two round tables pushed together. We could not even talk to each other. Not acceptable for an expensive restaurant.

Disappointing

By Gemma LP |

My friends and I went for dinner here on a Thursday night having read excellent reviews. It started well - a nice location in the Venetian with excellent chilled water poured into glasses. The wine and cider were also enjoyable, all of us being sick to death of the overly sugared American cocktails. However, the food itself was poor. Two of my friends are the pork shanks and when serve, the food was cold, not just luke warm. The waiter attempted to persuade us that this was how the dish was served in Italy - not going to fly. The pasta was nice - which was about as enthusiastic as we could get with the food. Potentially on par with a pizza express or ask in the UK. Very pricey and the food was definitely below par. I would personally steer clear.

Okay

By ali0ubba |

Meatball and brussel sprouts appetizers were great. We enjoyed our drinks. The actual meals were small, my husband ordered chicken Marsala and I order gluten free pasta dish. The pasta was terrible and undercooked. I did not complain as we were with friends and I didn’t want to ruin the vibe. I would not come back.

Can’t be beat!

By Elsa |

We had a dinner here after a meeting. The meatball appetizer was just ok. Get the pizza! It is wood fired and has an excellent crisp taste. The service was excellent as well.

Tasteless food…

By Karsten A |

We were 4 friends for dinner. Service was OK but you could sense that the waiter was instructed to sell the more expensive menus. We all had the bruschetta for starters. Untraditional bruschetta. First time i had one without tomato. Anyways, it wasn’t in the menu with tomato so we knew that. The bruschetta had no taste at all. The only taste was from the bread. No taste from other than that. Then we had the tortelli. Same story. The kitchen should try seasoning their food. Not worth the money

Good food

By Troy C |

Went there to celebrate my son's graduation. I must say this place is very good. Service by Alex was very good. The food we ordered were great. From the appetizer to the entree, we enjoyed all of it. The only fault I found was the pork was just a tad dry. The scallops were excellent and the sea bass was as well. Pictures just for show not for rating lol. The pistachio creme brulee was so good we did not leave anything

A Nice Experience at BRERA

By Zoe |

BRERA Osteria is located at St Marks Square at the Grand Canal Shoppes. My husband and I split the Chop Salad which was light and flavorful. I enjoyed the Fettuccelle, the classic beef bolognese. My husband had the Roasted Half Chicken which was very tender and plentiful. It’s a very busy restaurant, especially when there are conventions and concerts in town such as U2 so I highly recommend making reservations ahead of time. Give yourself plenty of time to dine especially when it’s crowded because entrees can take some time to come out. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I am giving restaurant 4 stars only because it’s very crowded, very noisy and we were seated in tight quarters near the bar where there is a lot of foot traffic with staff passing by frequently. We enjoyed the restaurant and I would recommend BRERA Osteria.

What an Anniversary Treat - Amazing food, service fun!

By CarolinaNurse323 |

We decided to enjoy an anniversary pizza at Brera Osteria and what a great choice it was! We were seated to a cozy booth and Guido our server proceeded to take our order for a couple of Peroni beers. The atmosphere with music playing in the open food area was delightful and entertaining. We ordered a meat lovers pizza and when it was delivered by two servers they told us that this one was their favorite. We made a great choice because it was amazing! I told our server that we were celebrating our #53 anniversary this week and he said he would bring us "something special" for dessert and indeed, he did!! We were surprised with a raspberry-like cake (I wish I had remembered the name) covered with fruit all around and happy anniversary written out on the plate. Thank you everyone for this special dessert....it was so decadent! Boy, we made some fabulous choices for places to eat during our stay at the Venetian Resort and this one made a last impression...priceless!

Great place to dine on your way to sphere

By John L |

Extensive lunch menu with excellent food. We started with Fritto Misto - calamari, mussels, mushrooms, peppers in aioli oil . And followed with pastas Tortelli (veal filled pasta, porcini mushrooms, sage butter, pan roasting jus) and CACIO E PEPE (housemade spaghettoni, pecorino, reggiano, black pepper) both fresh/flavor.Staff efficient. Only regret was not coming here before Sphere Dead Show as it is up an escalator on the walk to/from sphere and in relaxing St Marks Square on the second floor. Yardbird is also on the walk to the sphere - which was where we had dinner - but it is hurried and on a different food level -lower-than this restaurant.

Nice lunch

By Cruise Girl |

A very nice lunch. Excellent menu choices for food. Disappointed there were no reasonably priced bottles of wine. Food was very good. Service was friend but a little bit slow and the wait staff a bit confused. I liked this restaurant.

Delicious food - excellent service - fun cocktails. Highly recommend!

By Jeanne C |

We chose this restaurant for the convenience since we were staying at The Venetian. We were able to get a table without a reservation at about 6:00 on a Monday night. The food was excellent. For appetizers, the burrata, fried brussels sprouts and caesar salad couldn't be beat. For entrees, we had the pizza margherita and cacio de pepe. The portion size was perfect - maybe a little small for some appetites but it reminded me of portion sizes in Italy which I love. Drinks were fun - service was exceptional. Always clearing plates immediately and keeping water glasses full. Highly recommend.
