Cafe Venice Restaurant and Bar

Tucked in with other shops on and around Venice Ave. Busy place with a lot of seating options and a bar. Good wine selection, plus a full bar. Food is generous and well done.

Went for Anniversary and had to ask for butter for bread. Not served cocktails for over 35 minutes after seated while tables around seated later were served. Waiter suggested chicken dish which was very dry and hard, but everyone else enjoyed their meals. Prob won't be back.

Pricey. Good but ...

Bartender is arrogant and picks and chooses who to get good service. The food is overpriced and average at best

I came here with my family on Christmas eve, expecting good food and service like every year but this year was different, the food was not that great, and service was so slow, I had to wait 1 hour and 45 minutes for my not so great food, also why did it take so long to get the check, we waited so long that I didn't even get a second drink.

One of my favorite places on the Island, Food, Drinks and overall employees are outstanding. Fabulous...

Bad service we didn’t get our meal after 45 minutes because the table next to us got our meal so another 30 minutes later we got ours and our server said oh well it went to another table never checked on us at all I would understand if they were too busy but 1:00 not busy at all will never return! And we had reservations!

Was there a week ago at bar. Service great , turkey club was ok but turkey seemed boarder line old. Mushy kind of jelly. Seems like good turkey if fresh. Went today, 3 of us , had Chicken club, clam chowder and 2 chicken mozzarella sandwiches. All great service, bloody marys ,and sandwiches. Chowder good , a bit salty. Lovals would definitely return.

We passed by here last Thursday after dinner at another restaurant and were so attracted by the beautiful singing that we had to have another drink at the bistro bar…

This Thursday we reserved a table in advance and listened to Nick's Italian songs in the tavern again while trying the food in the tavern.

Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna is so delicious;

Served with Seaweed Salad, Beets and Guacamole was fresh and delicious, with a wonderful combination of food variety and color..

It happened to be Halloween night, it was so exciting, with singing and dancing, delicious food...an unforgettable and happy night.

We attend the Trivia every Wednesday night. We always get Katie as our server. She is the most efficient, pleasant and accomodating server we have come upon. Always smiling, never gets overwhelmed. She is an an absolute pleasure to deal with!!!

The service was outstanding. The array of different appetizers we had were delicious. My only disappointment was that they changed the recipe for the Pumpkin Martini this year. It was inferior to the recipe I have enjoyed over the past 6-7 fall seasons.

Pretty darn good! Both filet and salmon.
Salad substitute for green beans was not very good.

Nice Italian restaurant in the old Venice with live music. Perfect location in restaurants and shops area with convenient large free parking lot.
Restaurant has life music with a list of artists and dates on their website.
Perfect food. We had buffalo cauliflower and burrata. It was great to start. Steak and brased beef was perfectly cooked. And of course, any food is better with entertainment.
