The food was decent and the service was good, the atmosphere was fairly dismal, with bright led lighting glaring in places. If they turned off all led lights and left the others on it would feel much better. Also, the gray color felt cold. A really good design consultant could do wonders to the place!

It's one of the best in Humboldt County. Friendly staff, clean environment, lovely setting. Might have benefitted from some string-and-bow music, or harp/dulcimer.

Arrived on a Sunday at 530. We were quoted a 30-minute wait so we decided to wait at the bar and have some drinks in the meantime. Around 6:15. The bartender told us our table was about to be ready and they would come get us. 10 minutes later. No one has come to get us. One of us goes to check in with the hostess. She rudely says that after 15 minutes they give our table away since they were unable to contact us. They never once called the number that we left for them and we were sitting at their bar in plain sight. The group they gave our table away to was also sitting at the bar right next to us. The bartenders were lovely and very nice. They made sure to check in on us multiple times while we waited for the table. After being seated at the table, the waitress arrived to take drink orders ironically and appetizer orders. Our appetizers came out really quickly but we did have to ask for bread three times. After the appetizer course. We waited an hour for our entrees. One of the items came out wrong and had to be sent back. Two of the pasta dishes were undercooked, one of which being completely inedible. The pizza however was just fine. During this experience we were polite to the waitress since she was not a part of the waiting process, but we all noticed the looks we were getting from the rest of the staff as if we had done something wrong for waiting over an hour for our table. Can say will not be going back anytime soon. Seeing as and how the service and wait time was not worth the quality of food. The drinks and bartenders however were worth it. But not enough to make me go back. Start to finish. We spent 2 and 1/2 hours in the establishment as we left around 8:00 p.m..

Service was very friendly and food was pretty good, but we weren’t blown away. For $30+ a plate the pasta should really come with at least a side salad. Also, they only give you two tiny pieces of bread and if you want more you have to pay per person. I guess maybe I’m just spoiled by how Mazzottis used to have endless bread and a side salad included with their meals. After spending over $100 for two dinners and two drinks, we left without any leftovers and still a little hungry. We will give it another shot some time but as of right now it’s not somewhere we would frequent like we had hoped it would be.

I felt it overpriced. I just wanted to take the kids out to dinner for their birthday. Dinner, drinks, and desert took us for over $450. The food and service was good but not worth what they are asking. Serving time was way too long, almost an hour. $57 for Alfredo and steak was the special, which they didn't tell us the price, my bad for mot asking. And the tip was automatically charged because our 11 yr made the 6th person. Sorry , but we won't be back.

This month I have experienced their food and service twice, both times I have been disappointed, the dishes I have tried include the shrimp scampi, chicken piccata, risotto farmers market, steak fritters; and a few appetizers. Overall the meats in the dishes have been prepared nicely with methods that allow you to enjoy the taste of the meat itself. As for all of the accompanying foods brought with my meals they have all lacked flavor in my opinion and have been very greasy. Sad husk of pre-covid mazzottis unfortunately

The Shrimp in the scampi was way to salty and a little over cooked the pasta was cooked good. The chicken in the marcella was over cooked but the sauce was good. The vegetables that came with it had an inconsistent cook, some of it was black some wasn't cooked much. The wedge salad was good. And the calamari was over cooked but not bad. The service timing was way off.

We are visiting from San Francisco and were brought here by friends who are local. The food and wine was very good and the atmosphere was lovely. The restaurant is very busy, but the service kept up. I had the wedge salad and the eggplant parmigiana. The wedge was up to the standard I've come to expect from this most American of salads and made with delicious homemade blue cheese dressing The eggplant was deep fried to a nice crisp and served into a mild tomato sauce. Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely!
Came into town for my daughter birthday dinner was not a good experience sat there 30 minutes before ww got are drinks and calamari the calamari was cold and not good ,the waitress said bread was coming out of oven, it wasn't just plain French roll style bread, option olive garden is way better, sorry

We were looking for Mazotti's after being recommended it at Humboldt Mercantile, and discovered that it is now Venicia! We happened to be there during their soft opening, and the team did amazingly for presumably being new staff and a new menu. We didn't have any hiccups. It's not cheap -- an entree, non-alcoholic drink, and tip will run you about $50pp, but we liked everything we got. The hibiscus ginger iced tea was AMAZING and the special butter that came with the complimentary bread was really good too. We got the chicken parmesan and chicken piccata. My friend had a hard time cutting the chicken for the piccata, but didn't have any complaints when eating it. She only wished that it had been plated with the chicken next to the pasta instead of on top, but that's a super easy thing to change on your own. The portions were perfect, to me -- not so much I felt uncomfortable, but it didn't leave me wanting more. If I could do anything differently, I would probably box up some of my main course so I could order dessert. I overheard the manager, who was making her rounds to all of the tables, say that there were two flavors of ice cream and an espresso crême brulée, which sounded amazing. They have a great selection of drinks, too, with a full bar in addition to an espresso machine. The bar area is really nice and would be perfect for hanging out and just getting drinks. They had two big screen TVs on the walls by the bar and what looked like a fireplace, but they weren't on.

I suggest that you create some great signature salads and a home made Italian salad dressing and that would top off your other very good main dishes. My farm fresh salad was plain and not so fresh. I returned it.
