Went for Mother's Day Brunch. I wanted to go so bad and was so disappointed. Menu was smaller than regular brunch. No choice for appetizer or desert. Food came out luke warm at best. Every brunch I have ever been to included something to drink and regular coffee. This did not. It was a definite "one and done" experience. Expected some kind of music, there was nothing.<br>Too bad because every experience i have ever had with Russos was the best.<br>Mimosas were warm, had to ask for ice.<br>Bloody mary with no olive or celery, just alot of Tabasco.

I went to Vetro restaurant to celebrate my graduation with my family, and we all had a wonderful time. Everyone was so nice to us. The host, the manager, and the waiters too. However, one person really stood out. He was our server Pure. Pure was amazing to us. He was friendly, caring, funny, and went above and beyond to ensure that we were taken care of. He is the Best! Thank you Pure. Also, the food was amazing and the atmosphere was beautiful. Thank you Vetro for a wonderful evening and we will be coming back soon. This restaurant is fantastic.

I recently celebrated my birthday at this lovely restaurant, and I can honestly say the entire experience was nothing short of amazing.<br>From the very beginning, booking my reservation with Meena was seamless and professional. She was accommodating and made the planning feel effortless.<br>On the day of the event, everything was executed to perfection. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and incredibly professional throughout the evening. The table was set beautifully, creating an inviting atmosphere that made the night feel even more special.<br>Now let's talk about the food...Absolutely phenomenal! Every dish was flavorful, well presented, and truly unforgettable. It's rare to find a place where every single detail from service to ambiance to cuisine is consistent and impressive.Everything flowed smoothly from start to finish, and I felt genuinely celebrated.<br>I highly recommend Vetro Restaurant & Lounge for anyone planning a celebration dinner, special event or any type of gathering. They truly deliver an exceptional experience.

My dad had his 90th birthday celebration at Vetro and the experience was top tier!<br>Beautiful space on the covered patio facing the water. Attentive staff especially Mario who made sure dietary restrictions was adhered to . And food was delicious 😋 especially the red velvet birthday cake!! Usually, that's not my favorite flavor but this tasted like it was made with love. Absolutely 💯 perfect experience for my dad and the family. Thank you Vetro for helping us celebrate such a milestone moment!!

On March 29th, we held a party for our daughter's first birthday. We had already known how wonderful the food was at this venue both from reputation and personal experiences at their sister restaurant. However, when we were planning this party, we were going in blind, in terms of how it would function for a private event. From planning the party, to setting the menu, every step of the process was made easy by the lovely staff. On the day of the party, the state of the room went beyond expectations. The staff and servers were so friendly, genuine, and communicative. Our every need was tended to before we could even think about what our needs were!<br>We got to concentrate on our daughter and our guests, while occasionally enjoying the delicious bites at our table. We will be using this venue again, because our experience was exemplary. Thank you for making our daughter's 1st birthday one that, while she probably won't remember, the rest of us certainly will never forget! Our friends and relatives are still remarking what a wonderful time they had, nearly 2 weeks afterwards!

Probably one of the hidden gems in NYC, I wish they had more recognition across all the 5 boroughs. Such an amazing menu, and amazing service all together. Couldn't have asked for a better experience in a restaurant

Tonight some of the older ladies I worked with invited me out to this beautiful establishment. This wasn’t my first time here, it was my second and they never fail to amaze me! With it being a Wednesday, we had the prefixe menu and I must say everything we ordered fulfilled every expectation. Mario, our server was such a selfless soul and helped our dining experience be a memorable one! To tonight and many more times to come! 🥂

We hosted our engagement party at Vetro about a year and a half ago, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. The wine cellar downstairs was the perfect setting, and the staff made sure everything ran smoothly. We worked closely with John, who was incredibly thoughtful, respectful and always made sure we had everything we needed. Everyone was polite, welcoming, and genuinely pleasant, and the space itself was beautifully set.<br><br>The food was what everyone kept talking about. Every dish was delicious and left a lasting impression on our guests.<br><br>We recently returned to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and once again Vetro delivered. The food was just as amazing as we remembered, and the atmosphere made the night feel special.<br><br>Vetro is perfect for both special occasions and a great night out. We will definitely continue coming back. 🍷✨

Went here for a wedding. The venue is beautiful. Great views from the rooftop lounge and other rooms. Open bar. The cocktail hour reception had many great food choices. No main course needed after this, but those options were plentiful too. Overall, the food met every palette.

Vetro Restaurant near JFK is an absolute gem. It’s rare to find a place that feels both upscale and genuinely family-run, but Vetro nails that balance effortlessly.<br><br>The pistachio halibut was outstanding, and the linguine and clams were perfection the exact right blend of garlic, white wine, and briny sweetness. Every bite was balanced and full of flavor. The boys devoured the Tomahawk ribeye, which says everything you need to know about how well it was prepared.<br><br>Service was incredibly warm and personal the kind where you feel like family the moment you sit down. Add in a thoughtful selection of wines and champagnes, and it makes for a truly exceptional dining experience.<br><br>Highly recommended and a nice break from the busy NYC vacation.

We had an amazing experience celebrating my husband’s birthday. The attention to detail is impeccable and we are always treated with white glove service. The food is outstanding and our server was absolutely wonderful and on point. Thank you Vetro 🥂
