Canaletto Ristorante Veneto

This place was ok. It’s the location and ambience that’s probably helping it get 3 stars. Food sounds fancy but I was not impressed to much. Overall something to put on the resume to say you did it.

Came to this restaurant for dinner and was told that it would be a 20 – 30 minute wait. The host Marcello treated us very rudely and laughingly avoided us when we asked how much longer the wait would be. We had 7 hungry children and 2 senior citizens that were forced to stay standing for over 2 whole hours as we waited for our table. The employees at the restaurant proceeded to treat our party very rudely until we got so fed up that we had to leave. I would leave 0 stars if possible, but sadly I am forced to give them 1.

We were told there was a 20 minute wait. We found ourself waiting outside for 3 hours, listening to terrible sad music. When they said they had a table for us we asked how long it would take for our food, and they said at the earliest 45 minutes, even after lying to us and making us wait 3 hours (no exaggeration). As we walked to our table we saw many other open tables, so we left because we were so angry with them and could not believe our eyes. When we left, the manager cussed us out… I have never been so angry in my life. They are liars and disrespectful people.

Not trying to make a big deal out of this, however there was half a band-​aid in my pasta. Not sure where the other half is.

Fantastic food, service and company. Great atmosphere and a taste of Italy. Come all and you will not be disappointed.

We had reservations for a party of 6. 2 of our members were running behind. The host and hostess would not seat us until all members of our party were present. The food was average at best. The service was also poor. I would not eat there again with all the other options available in Las Vegas.

It has the best location at the «St. Mark’s Square» in Venetian hotel, but the hostess is snobby. The food is good but I think they are over priced!

Beautiful food and great service. I ordered Seppie Nero and it was so good, my husband’s fettuccine goulash was also cooked to perfection. The Risotto and pasta were cooked perfectly al dente. Price is also very reasonable. Will definitely recommend this place!

A fabulous evening at The Venetian. We had a table for 9 in the «outdoor» courtyard. A beautiful view of the faux skyline, within earshot of the live Italian performances and great people watching.
Before dinner drinks allowed us to sample the happy hour menu. Super cheap $ 7 pizzas, calamari or bruschetta. Delicious stuff.
Dinner was equally wonderful. The best sliced tomato, basil and mozzarella Caprese salad I have ever had. I had a mixed seafood plate over linguini. Tangy, spicy, super fresh and not overlooked. Simply fabulous.
A selection of deserts was passed around (I had so much wine at that point, I don’t remember what they put in front of me). Just a wonderful meeting with vendors and very happy they picked up the tab.

Beautiful atmosphere, excellent service and exquisite wood fired pizza !
Went for dinner with family of 4 on a Sunday night. Was lucky to be seated immediately.
A comprehensive menu and while no kids menu, they will cater to smaller servings of pasta for children.
Highly recommended in a sea of restaurants (pun intended) in The Venetian.

Omg!!! Picture this. .. At the end of a conference (in Vegas), tired and little hungover (work hard, play hard). My friends and I just want something to eat. My feet hurt and I just don’t care where we eat at this point. Finally my friends and I decide to eat at Canaletto. .. We order spicy Bloody Marys and the calamaretti fritti (calamari) to start.
The ambiance is great, has an outdoor theme and is surrounded by entertainment, other restaurants and shoppes. For lunch, my friends ordered gnocchi pomodoro (marinara sauce and fresh basil) and petto di pollo el peperoncino (chicken marinated with sage, rosemary, red peppers, etc) served with organic spinach. They both raved about their dishes…
Drum roll please. .. I ordered the zuppa di pesce alla chioggiotta (seafood stew with shrimp, prawn, scallops clams, mussels, fish with grilled garlic ciabatta). Omg. .. It was absolutely FANTASTIC!!! The flavors were amazing. .. I go to restaurants daily (multiple times a day). I am in a zone where I am rarely super impressed, the food is always good because I go to good restaurants, but this dish got my attention. .. You have to try this bowl of heaven filled with fresh seafood and nice flavors. .. Your pallet will dance and so will you!!! I promise!!!
The server was great!!! Thanks and I will be back for the same dish every time I am in Vegas!!!

The food is bad. We had 4 main dishes and non of them was good. The pizza was cold when it got to our table. The service was not very good either. Nice location though.

Loved the location of this place (see picture) where you can seat outdoor by the «canal» while being indoors (only in Vegas).
The place has a good vegetarian selection — the usual suspects in salads, pizza, and pasta. Found my favorite Pasta Arrabiata missing — but they gladly obliged by improvising. Loved the preparation — real spicy with al dente penne pasta. Had a nice 2012 Napa Valley Merlot to accompany, which turned out to be a bit bolder for the spicy pasta. In retrospect, Resiling or Chardonnay would have been better.
After the spicy pasta, had to make room for dessert. Shared Tortino Al Limone Verde (lime custard on a cookie crust topped with mascarpone). Small serving but delicious (tip: too small and yummy for two to share — get your own!).
Nice ambience with lots of tourists and crowd — adult conversation would be a challenge. There are other quieter and smaller places inside Venetian, if you prefer that setting.

VERY IMPRESSED! We had the calamari for starters followed by cannelloni de pollo and my boyfriend had the seafood risotto and finished with tiramisu. Everything from start to finish was impecable. The staff was pleasant and eager to help suggest menu items. We sat «outdoors» while a flute group played for background noise. Extremely romantic and pleasant

Canaletto — THE Italian restaurant of choice when you are in Las Vegas. We always reserve one evening to enjoy the ambiance of St. Mark’s Square, sitting at Canaletto’s outside patio at the Venetian listening to the live musical performers. A bottle of wine, crusty bread dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar, Calamari, Heirloom tomato and mozzarella cheese salad, Giant Prawn entrée’, Seafood Stew entrée’, with 20 year Tawny Port, hazelnut cake with almond ice cream for dessert, with delicious coffee. Great food, great service, great company! Does it get any better?

Beautiful dim lighting, setting just like if we’re transported back to Italy and just great service all around makes this a 4 star for me.
Dishes in the mid $ 20s, and yes it’s a little pricey, but I’m tired of searching for great Italian food. They claim to have fresh pasta here and their taglilatelle did not disappoint. Cooked al dente, this pasta meal was satisfying and full of flavor. I was not happy with their house salad, because it was overly douched in dressing. It was sad, because the greens were pretty good.
We came here to celebrate a birthday and ended on a nice note with some awesome tiramisu. The dessert was so smooth and the alcohol was present and pleasantly made the dish stand out. I’m usually not a fan of tiramisu, but this one was worth the calories.
Check out their website for their happy hours at the bar. If you want the ambiance along with food, without paying full price, it’s worth it to check out.

Just arrived in Vegas and came here between lunch and dinner so there was no wait. Started with a glass of wine and a warm bread basket.
The fare:
Prosciutto with melon: fresh and delicious, sweet ripe melon wrapped with salty prosciutto — Good.
Pear salad: fresh greens with ripe pears, grapes, toasty pecans, bleu cheese crumbles and a light vinaigrette dressing, delicious — Very Good.
Tagliatelle with chicken: al dente pasta, bacon and shiitake mushrooms with a delicious cream brandy sauce — Excellent.
Wonderful food with good service, we loved eating outside in the patio area where you can people watch and enjoy the «street» performers.
Overall, we enjoyed our meal and our dining experience here. A bit pricey but hey, we’re on vacation and this is Las Vegas!

Although its not Venice, Italy it was outstanding. In a piazza like setting with Renaissance street entertainment, we thoroughly enjoyed a dinner & a lunch at the Canaletto. Ceasar salads were fresh with a nice dressing. The pizza would certainly stand up to many from the motherland. Our service (Nadia?) was a pleasant and friendly as anyone could be. Highly recommend…

If you are looking great Italian dinner, swing by and you will truly enjoy there service, food and view of all the people walking by, there calamari or minestrone soap is just a perfect way to start your meal, as for entrée go with there baked in salt Seabass, it takes around 25 min to make but it is so worth it, plus they can remove the bones in front of your table for you if you like. :-))

Perfect beef carpaccio — fresh, paper thin, capers, oil, aged cheese. Wonderful seafood risotto. Plus the best pizza I have had — Favorita, I think it was called — fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, pepperoncini, olives, thin, crispy yet chewy crust. Beautiful wine list, friendly service, indoor al fresco dining (Venetian’s simulated Venice.) We LOVED this place. You have to try it.
