Veneto’s Cucina Italiana, Oceanside

If you’re looking for charm, a quaint bistro, and classic Italian, Veneto’s is the place. Take mom out and treat her to a wonderful grilled salmon or fresh pasta lunch or dinner at Veneto’s Cucina Italiana, nearby on N. Coast Hwy in Oceanside (near the Oceanside/California Welcome Center).

Owner and legendary San Diego restaurateur, Pino Bottalico, brings his Italian accent, charm, his warm heart and soul to his lovely restaurant every day to make sure that all of his guests have the most memorable, classic, and authentic Italian culinary experience ever. Raise a glass of vino, and make a toast to Momma on Mother’s Day! You’ll find flowers on every table and a wonderful selection of Pino’s favorite wines. Veneto’s has a full bar, serving great drinks, cocktails, and Pino’s fine wine selections, as well as imported, domestic, and local beers, and real Italian espresso. Their hot-from-the-oven fresh Italian bread is simply wonderful.

Veneto’s is the place where lovers meet, friends reminisce, and the food is legendary. Try their many delicious entrées from many different regions of Italy, including grilled salmon, pollo Piccata, Melanzane alla Parmigiana, or Pollo with Scampi. Enjoy an authentic pasta dish such as their Spaghetti alla Bolognese (our favorite), or their exceptional Fettuccini Alfredo, Linguini Alla Vongole, Lasagna al Forno, Ziti, Ravioli, Tortellini, and Lasagna. They also have excellent pizza selections, soups, antipasti, salads, sandwiches, and desserts. For a real treat, try Veneto’s famous homemade Tiramisu with a fine cappuccino or café espresso.
