Via Veneto has become known as one of the best Italian venues on Chicago’s North side. Chef Tony Barbanente has been serving authentic Italian cuisine on the Northwest side of Chicago for more than 20 years (originally located on Peterson Avenue). The Barbanente family hails from Mola di Bari located on Italy’s southeast coast, but their authentic Italian dishes range from Sicily, the southern most tip of Italy up through the Piedmont region.
