Our Story
A taste of Venice in Milton Keynes.
The Bacaro Tradition
Italiano Vero is rooted in the centuries-old Venetian bacaro tradition — small, lively neighbourhood wine bars where good wine flows freely and cicchetti are shared among friends.
We are not a chain restaurant. Vero is a bijou, independent gem with genuine Italian soul, created to bring the intimate, unhurried magic of Venice to the historic streets of Stony Stratford.
The word "cicchetti" comes from the Latin "ciccus", meaning "a small amount". Here, dining is an interactive experience. Rather than one large dish each, the table is filled with a beautifully prepared selection of plates, allowing you to explore flavours at your own pace.
An Intimate Setting
Vero has been stylishly designed for your comfort and pleasure. Step into our candlelit space and you'll find opulent velvet banquettes, elegant marble accents, and luxurious, leafy green foliage.
The walls are dressed with exquisite decorative art, and the romantic courtyard is adorned with twinkling fairy lights, providing the perfect sanctuary to sit back, relax with a glass of fine Italian wine, and lose track of time.
It feels like stepping into Venice on a warm summer evening. Warm, intimate, refined, and full of character.
