It's a shame -I like the food very much. The first time I was appalled by the service, I was having dinner with a friend at a small table. We were surprised by a visit from another friend, but the restaurant would neither get him a chair nor get us a different table. He ended up leaving.
Recently we were there again. The restaurant added a 20% Gratuity to our bill, even though we only had a party of seven.
Generally it's parties of 10/15 or 20 that would warrent such a charge. I have never heard of seven people being considered a "large party". This charge upset everyone at our table.
After my guests had all left, I re-entered the restaurant to inquire why this charge was on our bill. Instead of speaking with me or reasoning with me, I was simply asked to leave.
The following day I called and asked to speak with Tracy, the Restaurant Manager. She said that the gratuity was their
standard practice. The manager further explained that there is a lot more work for a large party and a major inconvenience for the kitchen and wait staff. It was a burden to take care of a table of seven people and we were to be up-charged for their having to endure this situation. I was then informed that we were no longer welcomed at Venetos.
Good Food & Service: Good pizza and pasta dishes! Prompt service.
Poor Telephone Skills: Recently called to set up a reservation for a small group. Was rudely told that I should have called a week in advance by the person answering the phone. Have been to the restaurant several times in the past and will never go again due to the rude woman I spoke with. Who plans a week in advance for dinner in a tiny noisy pizza joint?

Every restaurant i've ever been to has added a gratuity to parties of six or more, and such policies are always stated clearly in writing on the menu
