Best Holiday Pop-Up Bars Around Boston | Eater Boston

"On the South Shore, Italian restaurant the Venetian (owned by Eric Papachristos, who is also behind Boston restaurants Trade, Porto, and Saloniki) has decked out its dining room with thousands of sparkly holiday ornaments and festive greenery. Grab a drink, eat, and hang out amid the holiday cheer any night of the week — it’s open for dinner nightly, plus lunch on weekends, and the decor will stay up through January 31." - Celina Colby

**** Update. The restaurant reached out and we will revisit this review once we return to the Venetian****. We had been to the Venetian way back and loved it. We actually bought their sauce by the pint. We had not been there in quite some time and saw this holiday theme outside. We never go out for New Years. This was the first time in our 30 years of marriage. The inside was also decorated very nicely. Festive. Songs of Christmas throughout. Our Hostess was very nice and polite and were seated quite promptly for our 7:15 reservation. We started with two drinks and 3 appetizers. The arancini, meatballs and the garlic bread. The arancini were not very good. They had very little taste and being from an Italian family I have had them quite frequently both out and at family gatherings. The meatballs (3) were actually good. Shaved cheese sat upon the tops of them. The garlic knots were a horrible. Not one taste of garlic. They may as well have been plain bread that we paid for that came with a dipping cup of sauce which had very little taste as well. The Entrees. We both ordered the Chicken Parmesan and ordered another round of drinks to go with them. I got the Limoncello spritz which was very good. My wife ordered the Espresso Martini. Also good. HOWEVER, the entrees were and I am putting it nicely. Something that tasted as if it came out of a high school cafeteria. The chicken had NO taste. The breading was bland and the chicken was luke warm at best. That went for both our meals. We had been "pre-warned by our server that the reason for our dinner taking so long was because we were sandwiched between to big tables". The spaghetti was over cooked and mushy and luke warm. The sauce. No flavor! My wife saw the table behind us get served and their spaghetti was steaming hot. She could see the actual steam coming from the plate. They were also served bread. Something we did not get. After leaving spending over $200 for a dinner for 2. I would never recommend here. I am just being honest as I rarely leave poor reviews but you would do better at a chain restaurant.

We were very disappointed with the quality of food, with what the cook called a Greek salad- it probably costs $1 per person. Pasta was made with canned tomato sauce- totally bland. The only good thing was the desert. The atmosphere is not so bad but it costs $50+ per person! A poor waiter took all the insults directed to the owner and the cook. Sorry for the young man- but I felt I was robbed. Tips for the cook: Add oregano, basil, garlic, onion and pancetta to the sauces Greek salad: red onion, pepper, tomato, cucumber, large feta cheese pieces, oregano, basil, olive oil. NO LETTUCE, ever! My guess is the owner, the cook, the waiter don't have passport yet. My advise- Travel to Italy and research. It is not all about making profit of poor guests - your restaurant food was not made with love. Thank you.

Antipasto plate was delicious. Main course of chicken, broccoli, ziti was very bland. This was mentioned to the server who didn't seem concerned and/or care about the feedback provided. The holiday decorations were gorgeous. Very nicely done.

I frequent many fine restaurants from Federal Hill, to the Seaport. I went to the Venetian as a boy quite frequently, but hadn’t returned there in almost 20 years. Last year I stopped in and was amazed. It is By Far, my favorite restaurant to eat. Everything was delicious. The only draw back is how busy they are which is a great problem to have. I can’t say enough about it.

We were here during the Christmas Holiday Pop-up it was very busy, service was slow but no fault of the staff, just very busy. Our waiter Joseph was very good. There were 6 of us, 3 got the Short Ribs and throughly enjoyed then. My wife had the pumpkin ravioli and died over them, her words fabulous. My friend got the Sunday Gravy and somehow ate it all, and I had a chicken /eggplant parm combo which was also quite delicious.

I go every Christmas and it's always a grand experience. Phenomenal food, service, and atmosphere. Not to mention, one of the few restaurants that's not watering down drinks. A proper Italian restaurant through and through.

Went for the holiday popup. Service was fast. Our waitress Jane was amazing! Loved the decor. It made it very magical. Only thing that was interesting. We asked about 2 staff members to take a group picture of the table and they said they didn't have time. The third did.

My boyfriend and I wanted a nice date night location and we were absolutely blown away by every aspect of this dinning experience. The staff was so friendly, our waiter Anthony was so incredible and we had truly the most delicious meal that we have ever had in our lives! You could tell everything was made fresh, by hand, and full of love and passion. We took many moments of silence after each bite we had because of how blown away we were by what we were eating. We are not from the area, but we have already planned ways to return in the near future. We will defiantly be back!

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

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.

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...

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
