Veneto has a flavourful response to the call of summer. With its lively cocktails, cool antipasti, and decadent main courses, the well-liked modern trattoria on the fourth floor of South City Mall has debuted its seasonal menu, Speciale Estivo, a delightful celebration of Italy’s sun-drenched summers that keeps the season light but unforgettable.

Veneto, which is well-known for fusing sophisticated casual dining with classic Italian charm, has updated its summer menu to suit the city’s balmy days and laid-back evenings. Everything on the menu, from Southern Italian-inspired dishes to expertly mixed cocktails and seasonal fruit pairings, encourages patrons to relax, take their time, and enjoy every bite.

The dishes on offer in Speciale Estivo are the Spinach Fatayer, Broccoli & Potato Croquettes, Maìsdolce Fritters, Asparagus Risotto, Pasta Alla Norma, Creamy Tuscan Gnocchi Pollo, and the Mango Cheesecake.

The curated cocktail selection consists of Aam Sutra, What A Melon, Veneto Paolo, Fresh & Fruity White Wine Sangria, Watermelon Mimosa, and the Hazel Daisy.

Veneto, which is 1088 square feet in size and can accommodate 56 people, is still one of Kolkata’s favourite places to get real Italian food, fine wines, and a quaint trattoria-style setting. Diners will feel as though they have entered a section of Venice or Tuscany thanks to the interiors’ rustic textures, warm Mediterranean colours, and vintage Italian postcard inspiration.

Veneto’s new summer spread is full of stories, sunshine, and soulful food, whether you’re planning a romantic dinner date, a laid-back brunch, or an evening with friends. The experience consistently promises positive vibes in addition to good taste.
