Venosi

Dined here last night with 8 friends and we had a wonderful time.

The welcome from the all the staff made you feel relaxed and the service was top notch throughout the meal without being intrusive. Modern but comfortable decor.

Good selection of wines with some very reasonably priced reds. Lovely olive bread to eat whilst deciding what to have - so nice in fact I'd have been happy with a basket full, some butter and a bottle of wine!

I had the prawns with chilli and wine, which were delicious, followed by the pork cheeks. They came with a red wine sauce and saffron mash - perfect for a cold winter evening - with bags of flavour. A tasty apple tart with ice cream rounded off a fantastic meal. All my friends were very pleased with their dishes - I tried some of the beef fillet with brandy sauce which was melt in the mouth divine.

As mentioned on the website, all the ladies in the group received a rose from the owner Luigi which was a nice touch - everyone left full of great food and very happy.

Would definitely go back. Recommended.

Had an outstandingly good meal here a couple of weeks ago and meant to write the review sooner but business got in the way!

Located on Sloane Avenue just along from Gaucho and what a refreshingly good experience this was in an area which can be a bit up and down depending on who you are and, more importanly if you're just a normal person looking for a good meal!

Venosi delivers on all counts.

Really good welcome, great service, and fantastic food from the presentation to the taste.

Our bill was not over the top either.

Recommended without any question for high class and great value Italian dining in SW3.

was reccommended by a friend and boy am I glad a real find.

The place is stunning. bright, clean and to top of an open kitchen.

They have some great dishes inc pear & radicchio salad, octopus salad, hazelnut tagliatelle with chanterelle mushrooms and my favourite wild boar stew with polenta.

The wine list is also great with a wide range from all regions of italy and very reasonably priced. ( they have one of the best Montepulciano d'abruzzo I have tasted), will defo visit again
