Ristorante Venere, a landmark in Westbury since 1979, is owned and operated by Chef Angelo Graziosi, and his sons Frank, Joe and Michael. Highly rated by Newsday, Zagat, and The New York Times, this family run old world Italian restaurant offers accommodating service and consistently satisfying food in large portions with reasonable prices. House specialties include award winning meatballs and spaghetti, branzino, calamari, zucchini linguini, house made pastas like ricotta cavatelli and home made desserts. A reproduction of Botticelli's painting “The Birth of Venus” is the focal point of the dining room which is decorated in soft tones of beige with curtains, arches and brickwork.
