Veneto Wine Restaurant

We had the pleasure of dining at Veneto Wine Restaurant, a charming establishment nestled in the historic old town. Known for its Mediterranean and Greek cuisine, Veneto Wine Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience that combines traditional flavors with a sophisticated atmosphere.

Veneto Wine Restaurant is celebrated for its fresh, local ingredients and a menu that caters to various dietary preferences, including vegetarian and vegan options. We started our meal with an aubergine spread and Sfakion meat pastry with lamb and local cheese. The aubergine spread was creamy and flavorful, while the meat pastry was rich and savory, setting the tone for the rest of our dining experience.

For the main course, we chose the grilled calamari and tender beef filet with rustic carob sauce. The calamari was soft and perfectly cooked, maintaining a delicate texture complemented by black-eyed peas. The beef filet was of high quality, incredibly tender, and richly flavored with a well-balanced sauce. Both dishes showcased the culinary expertise of the chef and left us thoroughly satisfied.

The ambiance at Veneto Wine Restaurant is both elegant and inviting, with a romantic atmosphere perfect for a special evening. Located in a beautifully renovated historic building, the setting adds to the charm of the restaurant. The friendly and attentive staff enhance the experience, making you feel right at home with their warm hospitality.

What truly sets Veneto Wine Restaurant apart is the exceptional service. The staff are knowledgeable about the menu and eager to provide recommendations. They were attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that we had everything we needed for an enjoyable meal. We were also treated to a complimentary dessert, the mastic pannacotta with Aegina pistachios and grated lime skin, which was a delightful way to conclude our meal.

For anyone visiting Rethymnon, a visit to Veneto Wine Restaurant is a must. Whether you’re a fan of traditional Greek cuisine or looking for a memorable fine dining experience, this restaurant will not disappoint. The combination of delicious food, a charming setting, and outstanding service makes Veneto Wine Restaurant a standout choice. We look forward to returning on our next trip to Crete and enjoying more of the delightful dishes and warm hospitality that Veneto Wine Restaurant has to offer.
