Veneto Trattoria Italiana Restaurant serves Northern Italian Style Foods and specializes in Venetian Style. Veneto Trattoria Italiana is located in Scottsdale Arizona. I noticed the Venetian Italian Cod Dish on the menu that is hard to come by so I thought we’d give Veneto Trattoria Italiana a try.
This restaurant offers seating and inside and out with patio seating. The atmosphere inside is very homey. There are many nick knacks scattered around for that grandma kind of atmosphere. The dining is sort of “L” shaped and here is the other end that looks a little more formal with tablecloths.
They start us off with Focaccia and Crusty Bread. The oil and balsamic vinegar come in cute round pitchers that look Italian made.
We started off by sharing Baccala Mantecato……also called Venetian Style Cod.
We received a Grilled Planks of Polenta that were topped with Cod Mousse and a side of dressed salad. It was interesting………Thinking maybe the Italian version of WhiteFish Salad on a Bagel….But this was an appetizer. This Mousse was very light and lump free. It did taste like fish but it wasn’t too fishy. The polenta had a good char taste on it.
For my main I had the Insalata Mediterranea. It was a salad of organic greens with sautéed salmon and sea bass, tomatoes and crostini with balsamic.
They prepared all the fish nicely and the salmon was extra tasty with a little sear and a little more seasoning than the sea bass. The crostini add some body to the meal.
My husband had the Orecchiette Salsiccia E Broccolini – Thats pasta with sausages and Rapini with pepperoncino with oil and garlic. I was told that this dish ran a bit mild. I latter read that Venetian Style Italian does does run more delicately seasoned.
I think it’s great that this restaurant is unique and offers some Venetian Style Cuisine that you just don’t come by at most Italian Restaurants.
