The Venetian

We had a great time at the Venetian. The food was great and the atmosphere did not disappoint. We started off with a couple of apps. The eggplant was particularly on point and their sauce reminded me of visiting my grandmother and the amazing smell in her house. Our server was very personable and right there for anything we needed. We will go back!

My family made reservations for my birthday. I have heard how well they decorate for Christmas so I was expecting to be wowed...I was. The decorations did not disappoint. What was better than the decorations? By far the best italian food I have ever had. The sunday gravy was insanely flavorful. It was as if Nonna had been simmering her gravy all day. Their homemade pasta was perfect. We had the steamed mussels and used all the bread to sop up the galic and wine sauce it was cooked in. We also had their signature mocktails, again no criticisms. My meal was worth every cent paid for it. Planning on going back sooner rather than later. Food is as good as you get in the North End and an easier commute. Oh, the waitstaff gives 5 star service as well. Very attentive but not overbearing or obnoxious. Enjoy!

Made a reservation here for Valentine's Day. There is a parking lot and street parking. The restaurant has nice decor inside with house plants and really nice wallpaper in the dining room. It was a really busy night and the waitress was really nice. Once we placed our orders for drinks, we received the complementary bread. The oil was good and the butter was so good, a lot better than other restaurants. There was a special menu for Valentine's Day that was a good deal but we decided to order from the menu. The local greens had a good amount of everything, I'm not a fan of goat cheese, but the amount in the salad wasn't overpowering. The bolognese was a good size and came out really hot. The sauce was delicious and I got extra bread for it. The waitress also asked if we wanted to stagger the meal after the salad which was a nice touch. Lastly we got the tiramisu, it may be sweet for some people. I had a good experience here and although service did take time on a busy night, I'd come back again!

Edit: I am changing my review and score after going again a month after our first outing. We went to celebrate Valentine's day and they stuck us in what I think they would refer to as their banquet room. There were two round tables in there full of older people who were shouting so loud that we felt like we were at a concert! It became much quieter once their food arrived and after one table finished and left! I asked the hostess if she could move us to another table outside of this room and she told me "no, sorry." From that point onwards, the service was terrible. Our waiter was not very attentive to us. We finished our meals at 8:05 PM, and did not leave until 8:35 PM. 30 minutes to wait for a check and cash out! Our reservations for 2 were at 6:45 PM and we left almost 2 hours later. The food, it was about the same as last time. The clams casino app special was not worth the $18 for 5 clams. Now I see why the reviews are so mixed... Great experience! Because of the mixed reviews I didn't know what to expect, but overall it was great! No issues with the reservation as we were seated right away. The food was perfect, the service was perfect, and the atmosphere was beautiful! We both very much enjoyed our food (bread, calamari, chicken parm, Sunday gravy, creme brulee, and the enormous piece of carrot cake (not pictured). Arianna our server was also very attentive during our dining experience. We will definitely be back. Thank you and happy new year!

We had a very negative experience here. We originally had a party of 8, but one person couldn’t make it because he was sick. We informed the hostess of this when we checked in, and she reacted very rudely, exclaiming that “changed everything” and expressing her displeasure. We were then seated in an extremely cramped room jam packed with tables and it was impossible to get out of our chairs without bumping into the chair of the person behind us. It took at least 15 minutes for the waitress to take our drink order, and unfortunately she was quite surly as well. The food was good but the negative experience we had with the staff convinced us that we will never return.

The Venetian is by the far the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to. I love the atmosphere and all the staff are very friendly. (Especially our dear Jan who goes above and beyond)My husband and I go any chance we get and enjoy every minute of it. The music is amazing the food is out of this world amazing! I feel like I am in a whole different world when I am there. By the way if you are looking for a delicious desert the tiramisu is a must try. Not only is is absolutely delicious but you get a beautiful presentation as well. (Tommy and Nick usually and they are both the BEST) love this restaurant. :)

I’d like to preface this review by stating that I chose to give a 4-Star rating based on the service. I would’ve given a 5-Star review otherwise. I had a 9:45pm reservation. Mind you, this was the only reservation time available 13 days prior to the dine date. My friend & I arrived 45 minutes early & informed the hostess of this. She was very nice, as she offered to have us get a drink from the bar while we waited. The bar was PACKED with people. Nowhere to sit or wait. We stood behind a booth of a party who was eating. After 30 minutes, two seats at the bar opened up & we sat until the table was ready. We began to notice that people who came in after us were being seated before us, but we assumed that they had reservations. Until we noticed that it was 9:45pm, there were open tables, & we still hadn’t been seated. I went back to the hostess & reminded her that we were waiting, & we were sat. This gave the impression that we were forgotten about.. When we were seated, the server came over. She was nice; however, throughout the entire meal (start to finish), it was evident that she was rushing us. Within 5 minutes of us being seated, we had to decide on our meals as the kitchen was going to close in a “couple minutes”. She brought bread over & we had to ask for silverware, plates & napkins. Halfway through the meal, she placed to-go boxes on the table (that we didn’t request or need). We still weren’t done eating dinner when she asked if we wanted dessert. It was extremely uncomfortable to feel so rushed to dine. Perhaps the restaurant shouldn’t offer late reservations if the kitchen closes soon after & the wait staff feels the need to get guests out by closing time. Everything else (food/atmosphere) was amazing. I got the Filet Mignon w/ mashed potatoes & zucchini. So flavorful. Melt in your mouth steak! The Christmas decorations were beautiful.

I got the Sunday gravy and my wife got chicken parm, the Sauce was was so tart I didn’t like it at all and same with my wife’s. I’m sure if I got something else I might of liked it just not Itailian also waited over a hour while I watched the tables next to me eat and leave even know we got there first. Just not for me. I don’t give bad reviews but there was nothing I liked about the food.

I got dinner here the other night with my husband for the Christmas pop up. I went last year too, and feel like the decorations were a little more elaborate last year. Still beautifully decorated though. We started with a spicy tequila drink and a Sinatra whisky drink. The tequila drink was great, Sinatra drink was incredibly sweet. We were also told they were out of old fashioned cocktails... which seemed almost impossible. For appetizers we spilt the Aranchini and garlic knots. Both were good, but honestly nothing special or food I can't wait to try again. For dinner I had the chicken parm, which again was good and not great. My husband's pasta was delicious and one I would go back to eat again. We had two dessert martinis (espresso and tiramisu) and both were good but extremely strong. I'm aware martinis are just alcohol, but these were hard to drink because of the burn after each sip. Tiramisu dessert was tasty. We went for the ambiance and everything was good, nothing really felt great. Decorations were beautiful and server was very nice and knowledgeable also.

We hadn't been here in about 4 years, so we were looking forward to an enjoyable evening, along with seeing the holiday decor. Our reservation was for 4 PM. We made this reservation several weeks ago knowing that they fill up quickly this time of year. I was surprised to be seated at 4:22 PM, having made the reservation so far in advance. Once seated, our server took our drink order and as a precurser to the rest of the evening, the drinks came back at all different times. I understand the necessity to make a profit, however, $17 for a 9 oz glass of house wine and $4 each for a glass of milk, an iced tea and a sprite was outrageous. The kids meals came out first. They were brought out by a runner, whom I told that the kids had a side of french fries. More on that later. Following the kids meals, mine and my wifes meals came out. My chicken, broccoli, ziti came with garlic wine sauce when I had asked for alfredo sauce. To compound the problem, our server was nowhere to be found. I had to ask another server to find our server to resolve the issue. The solution was to pour alfredo sauce in with the garlic/wine sauce. I mentioned to our server that the kids side of fries and my side of asparagus still had not arrived and that we were almost done with our meals. The server finally took responsibility and said that she had never put them in and that they would be out quickly. After our meals, we wanted to look at a dessert menu, only our server was once again nowhere to be found. I asked the runner if she could get us a dessert menu. She brought one dessert menu for 4 people. The kids had dessert and me and my wife decided to skip dessert, not knowing if it would be correct, or come out at all. Like most inept servers, great attention was paid when it came time for the bill. I'm not a fan of credit card machines at the table where you choose a tip with the server holding the machine. $210 with tip was hard to swallow based on the poor service we received. The food was good but extremely overpriced for the portion size. We had another reservation in a couple of weeks with some family from out of town, but we decided to cancel for somewhere more reasonable with better service. We were expecting a bit more and were disappointed.

My wife and I did a DoorDash order from here this evening, we usually love the restaurant but we were very disappointed. I was about halfway through my Sunday gravy (which was great up to that point) when I found a LONG, CURLY HAIR in my food. At that point both my wife and I were finished eating and had lost our appetite. I'm not sure if or when we'll be back because this is disgusting. It's a shame because cause we loved the food here.

Dinner was great and everyone working seemed to be in good spirits ! It's hard to get a reservation this time of year but if you can get in, what a beautiful experience. This place is decked out head to toe with gorgeous Christmas flare. We did have a reservation but had to wait about an extra fifteen minutes until our table was ready. Understandable but we had 6 people and there wasn't much standing room for us to wait. The food was good- I would say pretty overpriced but we honestly went for the experience. All of the pastas were fresh except the chicken parm pasta seemed boxed. Mixed feelings on the food/pricing but 10/10 on ambiance.

3.5/5 plenty of parking and decently sized restaurant, recommended by the Phantom Gourmet. Had to try their arancini, it was large and crunchy with good filling in the inside. Bread to start was good and filling. The wings were tasty and well seasoned. The main entree of pasta with sausage and meatball was ok. Meatball was overcooked and sausage was not enough in my opinion. For sure a hearty filling meal where taking some as leftover is recommended.

We were there tonight. The food was amazing and we thought for all the food we got and the quality, it was reasonably priced! The decorations are awesome along with the music. Christian was our waiter and he did a bang up job! Thanks for the great time. Oh and all had left over to go bags for lunch tomorrow.

A bit hard to review this one because the place is so well designed and very romantic (but I was with my dad so never mind). I had the chicken parm and my dad had the eggplant parm. The pasta is all homemade and it was very good. And I know prices are higher than ever these days. But it just didn't feel like the best value for money. It was a good sized portion though. I also got calamari which was good but not amazing. Kind of average. My dad got a glass of wine. We decided we wouldn't come back because we just weren't impressed enough but I'd recommend it for a drink and shared appetizers at least. Our server Anthony was absolutely lovely. Thank you Anthony.

Even if the food was worth the heavy "atmosphere tax" (spoiler alert: it's not), the incredibly poor customer service should make any potential patron avoid this restaurant at all costs. My family was excited to kick off the holiday season with a dinner at The Venetian, so I was very disappointed to get a call that I needed to leave work early to pick up my daughter from daycare due to a stomach bug she apparently picked up. I called the restaurant to let them know we were no longer able to make the reservation due to the illness, and they quickly informed me that I would be charged $25 for each of the four people in my reservation, including my 18-month old daughter and 4-year old son. When I asked if they had any flexibility given the circumstances, and if I could provide some sort of back-up evidence (i.e. teacher note, doctor's note, etc.) supporting my need to cancel to avoid the $100 fee, they harshly told me no, that the only way to avoid the fee was to have someone else take my reservation. Before I could start calling around to see if I had any friends who could use the reservation, I received a notification from my bank that The Venetian charged my card the $100 cancellation fee, over an hour in advance of my reservation. While we enjoyed numerous (6? 7??) festive meals at The Venetian last year, I couldn't be more put off by this experience and the lack of empathy, acknowledgement of prior customer loyalty, and tact that the staff exuded. What a day-ruining experience to a day that was already quickly tanking.

It was my 75 birthday and I chose the Venetian from reading all their great reviews. The food and cocktails were really good. We both took food home as the portions were large. Our server Mike did the best he could. My only complaint would be that they really need bussers.. we waited longer than normal for our cocktails and our food. I have to say that it was very busy. As soon as a table would empty they we're filling it up again. Happy for the new owners and kudos to them for making the old Venetian a beautiful new restaurant to dine at.

What a beautiful restaurant to attend during the holidays! They're so festive and creative. I'm sure it must've took them awhile to decorate the whole ceiling. We had a reservation for 7:30pm and was seated around that time. We were guided to our table which was all the way in the back with NO DECORATIONS. We specifically came to enjoyed their festive decorations during dinner . Three other parties were offered the same table but nicely declined... Not quite sure why they didn't decorate that portion of the dining area and expected guests to be ok being seated there. 5-10 minutes later a table cleared up and we were seated. We orders the fried calamari, bolognese, and seafood fra diavolo. The calamari was not crispy at all... it looked and tasted like it was rushed out and not cooked properly. I know they were busy, though. When our main entrees came out, I was immediately happy until I tried my dish... My spaghetti noodles were OVER COOKED. Not to exaggerate but it was horrible... it came out mushy and slimy. I never send food back but that night I should've... The portion was good and luckily the red sauce was good. My wife's bolognese was very good. I highly recommend getting that. Overall, it was an ok experience... I would definitely recommend coming here to grab drinks and enjoy the festivities but for food, stay clear from the seafood fra diavolo dish. Or maybe you'll get lucky and get a better chef to cook that dish for you ...

I'd read an article about Boston area restaurants that offered outrageous (in a good way) Christmas decorations as part of the overall dining experience. Well, The Venetian is a top notch destination for classic Italian favorites surrounded by sparkle and festivity. You can't help but smile upon entering the bar and walking past the polar bears to the host station. Our table was in the room toward the back and the Christmas tree tableaus (front and rear) were charming and old world. I loved my velvet chair! Our young server was friendly and made great recommendations. There are classic cocktails all sorts and extensive wine lists. I opted for Sinatra's Love Song, a tasty variation on a Manhattan. We shared a delicious blue cheese salad, which was really a deconstructed Wedge with whole strips of candied bacon. It could feed 3-4. Main dishes were the eggplant parmigiana (solidly delicious) and the pasta special: rigatoni with butternut squash & sweet sausage in sage cream sauce. The flavors were a delight. The sauce was rather thin, but thickened upon cooling. The spumoni was epic. I counted 6 Amarena cherries! Best ever!! The cappuccino was elegantly stenciled and accompanied by a biscotto. Our server was sweet but there were a few details overlooked or not anticipated that other servers were providing in full view (which is why 4 stars). The large salad was served without serving utensils (had to ask), no grated cheese nor ground pepper was offered (had to ask), and we were the only table whose takeaway boxes were not in a branded paper shopping bag to carry away. Not trying to be a sniveling ageist, but perhaps it was that our younger server may not have realized or even considered the details that many older diners come to expect at higher priced establishments. Terrific food served in an ambiance of good cheer. I look forward to returning.

This is one of my favorite restaurants now for Italian food in the area. The service is always great and the dishes are usually good. I was not a fan of the garlic knots, these appeared to be fried and were puffy. The Seafood Fra Diavolo was great and came out really hot. There was a good ratio of seafood that had mostly shrimp and mussels with the pasta cooked perfectly.

We visited The Venetian during their Christmas pop up. The ambiance was beautiful and very festive with ornaments, garland and lights covering the ceilings. The service was excellent. Reservations were required and times sold out entire month of December so it was very busy. We had 4 adults and a child dining. They were quick to bring his food first so he didn't have to wait to eat. Always a great idea if you are dining with little ones. Their cocktails were good and they had a large variety to choose from. I had lasagna and it was very good.

Went there to enjoy the holiday decorations We didn't have a reservation and knew I had to get there early to get a seat at the bar! I arrive with my mom at 3:40 and stood outside to get a seat. The decorations are well done, and you feel happy walking in We sat at the bar. The bartender was kind, attentive, and had a smile on her face!!! The food was ok! I think there is better on the south shore. Dessert was great & espresso martini was top notch

Thank you for a wonderful Easter Dinner Experience! The best service, old school ambiance everything was right on you made our day ! Just look at my pics the food was authentic with hand made pasta and sauce ! Chef Paul made out Tiramisu Table Side just amazing and delicious! Thank You!

Wish I could do half a star here. Jazzy red atmosphere with a lively bar evoking a neighborhood spot in Brooklyn. Went once and the food was amazing. It suddenly fell off about 6 months ago. Pasta is oily and the sauce bland. Searching for flavor in the Chicken Marsala. Button not porcini mushrooms, and the sauce had been so cooked out you could barely taste the essence of wine from Marsala or anywhere else. Not normally this harsh, but they can do better. Service is timely and polite, but even the servers seemed skeptical of the menu.

4 of us went to have dinner last night. At best all 4 meals were labeled as 'Eh nothing great'. My pesto pasta was served as a congealed lump of pasta.. I had to cut chunks of pasta to eat it(shouldve sent is back) My bro in law had the chicken Parm- Fair to middlin at best he said.. SIL had the scallops..another 'EH' reaction.. my wife had the orrochiette - the sausage was hard - the sauce was watery and flavorless. We won't be back.. Nice atmosphere - fair service and high prices are not my idea of a nice night out at a local establishment!. 2 stars at best!

The Venetian is the definition of a classic Italian family, eatery, with beautiful red leather booth, and a comfortable open dining room. The service is world class. The decor is warm, cozy, Italian Renaissance. It is very uplifting to be in the establishment. It warms your heart to see the portions haven't changed in over 40 years or however the heck long this place has been in business. The Venetian is not only a staple of Weymouth, but it is a staple of the South Shore. Everybody knows about it and everybody's been there at least once in their lifetime. And there's a good reason why. They have high caliber, delicious food, and the cost is reasonable, though, I did feel like they ripped me off on a side of scallops to accompany a carbonara entrée. They charged a ridiculous amount of money 4 scallops how, $16. Shame on them. Their spaghetti carbonara is one of the most non-traditional I've ever had. It's more like a Alfredo. The pasta was unfortunately overcooked. You really cannot mess that up. If you are going to call yourself a true Italian restaurant, every single piece of pasta that leaves your kitchen needs to be al dente. I do not want overcooked pasta, however the flavor was impressive. They did not slide you on the cheese. The best thing you can order from here is the chicken Parm. I love that meal. Their desserts are next level. If you have a birthday, this is the place to celebrate it. The carrot cake is world famous.

The holiday pop up was a lot of fun for the festive atmosphere and Christmas music. I was disappointed to book months in advance and requested booth seating to celebrate our engagement. We were brought to sit at a small table near the bar. I asked if we could wait for another table when the hostess told me in a tone that "it could take a long time are you really sure you want to wait". We decided to take the seat since it was already 8pm. Seconds after we sat down she sat one later reservation than ours at a quiet, larger table, out of the bar area. Our waitress was great to help make up for the experience we had with the hostess. The food was average at best. My chicken parm needed salt and the breading to be crispy rather than soggy.

Excellent food. Casual and friendly atmosphere. 1950's music was a very nice touch. I have eaten there several times and have never been disappointed.

The Venetian did a fantastic job decorating for the holidays. You could feel the Christmas spirit alive and well as soon as you walked into the restaurant the restaurant was absolutely packed, including the bar area and the dining area with back-to-back reservations. The food itself was fantastic, including the appetizers, dinner and dessert, the only drawback which I think is due to the business of the restaurant this time of year, was the service team was a little slow. But overall would recommend to anyone if you are able to get a reservation to enjoy these beautiful decorations

Could be better. Or maybe my hopes were too high... I came here with a friend for dinner during the week. We started with the arancini. They were a bit dry/bland and needed the sauce for flavor but overall they were okay. I liked the gooey cheese in the middle. For my entree, I ordered the eggplant parm. The homemade pasta and sauce were fantastic. However, the eggplant was soggy. I was expecting it to be crispier. I'm glad it was smothered in cheese which made it edible. For dessert, we shared the tiramisu. It was good but forgettable; nothing special about it that would make me come back for more. The thing working against this restaurant is that there is stiff competition in the area. I can think of two other Italian restaurants near by that have much better food in my opinion. Overall the food here was just okay, but I think you can get more bang for your buck elsewhere...

This place was great when the new owners took over, but now the prices have increased so much it's not worth going.

Janine was very nice, allowing me to sit even though my guest wasn't arriving for another 20 minutes. Liv was our waitress. She was phenomenal. The boy that delivered the food was also very accommodating. I ordered the seafood fradiola-it was amazing!! See picture. My daughter ordered chicken Marsala and chicken tenders. Food was delicious! Quiet, peaceful atmosphere with Christmas music playing.

I am giving three stars. We have been here a hand full of times. Most recently this past Friday. We were very satisfied with the food in the past. However, not so much this time. In the past, we would begin with splitting one of their salads. When the waiter brought it out, I did a double take, commented to my other half that they have cut the salad in half and she agreed. The waiter was raving about their seafood, so I order the seared scallops and she ordered the eggplant parm. Both meals were at best, average. I'm wondering if there has been a change in chef; however, that does not explain the half size salad. I'm not sure we will return. They're so many other great options on the south shore for great food.

We went to the holiday pop up at the end of January and we really liked it. It was actually the first time we tried the new Venetian since the remodel. We will be back.

Decided to come here for the holiday decor/ environment but was surprised by how good the food was as well. We loved everything we ordered- Tuscan chicken wings, fettuccine Alfredo, chicken marsala and seafood fra diovolo. Good portion sizes except for the fettuccine Alfredo. We had reservations at 9pm and was seated within 5 minutes of arrival The waitress was kind and attentive. We would definitely return even without the holiday decorations

We dined at The Venetian on Thursday night. We had been seeing the restaurant featured in numerous local newscasts so we wanted to check it out! The decor and atmosphere was festive and fun. The food was great! We had the fried mozzarella appetizer and it was delicious. We each had a couple of the Roman Cosmo's and they were tasty and perfectly strong and balanced! Our waitress Mia was top notch! She was attentive and patient with us as we navigated the menu. I ordered the chicken Alfredo dinner and it was delicious! My partner had the Orecchiette dish and he really enjoyed it. The portion sizes were generous and both of us took leftovers home. I highly recommend checking out The Venetian if you are ever in the Weymouth area! We will be back!

Great service, great drinks and home made pasta. What more could you ask for? We get take out a lot but eating in the restaurant takes it to the next level. Great vibe great people. Can't wait to go back and get more chicken parm and another affogato martini

The food was outstanding! The drinks were on point and the service was great (Jan was our waitress). It's always a good sign when you pull in and the parking lot was full. It was very festive (Christmas decor from the ceiling). Definitely coming back.

We love the atmosphere, and all the Christmas lights and trees hanging up until at least February. The staff is really really nice and they make great drinks. The food is excellent. I had the eggplant appetizer a few times along with some other dishes. It's always consistent and good the place is clean and the staff is lovely. I would definitely recommend coming here.

Had a great Valentine's Day experience here. It's a big restaurant with many rooms, but they recommended reservations even on weekdays (not just on holidays). Our server was so nice. She was so busy and working at top speed but still polite and good to each table. The food was so good! Big portions of pasta with the pasta cooked Al dente how I like. They gave us a rose on Valentine's Day which was a great touch. We will definitely come back here.

Took my mom & SIL mom for dinner. It was good everyone said they enjoyed their meal. My hubb and I are looking forward to go back for a date night

I've had the pleasure of dining in many fine restaurants over the years. Several of them had Michelin stars. The short rib ragu with gnocchi, which I had a few days ago in this restaurant, would have done any of those Michelin starred restaurants proud. Complex array of meaty and aromatic flavors. World class. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and hardworking. The Sam Adams seasonal draft and friendly bar crowd made the 30 minute Friday night wait a pleasure.

I loved The Venetian. I feel like I stepped into the Rat Pack era, great ambiance! The service was great and I had a delicious meal. Looking forward to my next dinner.

Food is delicious, pasta is outstanding. Overall I'm torn because the place is nice, staff is friendly and attentive, etc. However, the prices are kinda high. Around $30 for a plate of pasta is a little pricy, even though the portions are larger. I think if it was 20 or under it would be better value, especially since you'll likely want to add either chicken or meatballs to some dishes and they cost extra.

Had a great dinner on a Saturday night with a friend Loved the atmosphere - hadn't been there in many years It was nice to see the bar full of happy customers and as our night went on the place filled up The waitstaff was fantastic I tried the orchette dinner and loved it Just wanted more broc rab but that's because I like it so much

Service was great. The coffee was great. The 20 oz bone-in pork was the best meal I've had in years.

Ordered takeout tonight and was greatly disappointed. The garlic knots were chewy like they had been microwaved, when the last time we ordered them they had a great crust with the perfect amount of garlicy cheesy oil none of which these had. Our pasta was super overcooked in both the chicken parm and chicken broccoli Alfredo, on the verge of being mushy pasta and the Alfredo sauce was runny and watered down. Certainly not the Saturday night dinner we expected. I hate to say it but I don't think we will be returning after this visit.

Went tonight after seeing all the buzz on their holiday decorations It was nice but in my opinion more isn't always better. Now for the food.... I know it was busy but I like flavor in my food. Chicken Marsala was tasteless. Limited sauce The eggplant parmigiana tasted like Ragu bottled sauce was used. I really wanted to like it here but for the price I expected a more upscale experience -food with flavor. Not a lot to ask Service was ok. We got to go boxes delivered without delay even while we were still eating our entrees Probably won't be going back decorations or not.

Top notch food and service. Loved bringing family from out of state here for a great Italian meal.

Prices outrageous!... Foods different than the original owners....The old-school neighborhood restaurant feeling gone! $50 for a ribeye steak?...smh

I ordered the Veal chop parmigiana, it was enough for two. The side of fettuccine, made on site was phenomenal, it was cooked to perfection and very delicious. The sauce was light, flavorful and non acidic. I totally love the garlic knots. Chef Paul King came out to speak with us, he was delightful and very interested in our thoughts. Chef fully explained the cooking principle of using a chop as opposed to hip or shoulder meat, chops are not tough at all, tasty and soft. I would order this again. The service, was excellent.

Food was great, service was great, the Christmas decor was still up so that was lovely. Definitely would recommend and would definitely go again.

The atmosphere is nice and festive but that is the only positive thing I could say about this place. The food was incredibly bland and unappetizing, the service was a joke. Probably the worst food we ever had and ridiculously overpriced. Would not recommend to anyone and will definitely not come back! We really wanted to like this place due to the festive look and the ambiance but they really made it impossible.

Came on a Monday night, mainly to see the beautiful Holiday Pop decor! Food was okay for the price. Mussels were delicious! Service was great, our waitress was nice and quick to check on drink refills

Beware. Incredibly unorganized management and FOH staff. Had a reservation for 13 people booked weeks in advance, only to arrive and be told they had no record of a reservation. This was after calling to confirm twice in the weeks leading up.

We had another wonderful experience last night at the Venetian! The bartender Sam was great, very attentive. The food was amazing. I had the chicken Marsala over homemade rigatoni cooked perfectly. Hubby had steak with mashed and I ate half his mashed and some steak. Delicious! No reservations needed, sat at the bar. The restaurant is pretty in a classic way. Lots of free parking. From someone who came here often as a kid for pizza with my family (best pizza ever!) now we bring our family here for great dinners. Don't miss this place!

The Christmas ambiance was greatly executed and thoroughly enjoyed. Sangria was delicious! Our waiter Christian was wonderful. Carbonara was a tad bit salty. Braised beef was wonderful and chicken parm was also yummy. They have nice big portions. Not pictured but best part to end the dinner was their tiramisu. We'll definitely be back again soon
