“Real Italians, real homemade food with tomatoes imported from Italy. The real deal here and so far the best Italian food in Venice. Sorry downtown spots, La Botte in strip mall is awesome. The gnocchi was so perfect the sauce and lasagna was great. The veal was great, the eggplant appetizer was so wonderful. Don't miss this place when in Venice“

“My husband and I had a wonderful dinner at Lucarellis recently. Everything was perfect...our waiter, Hunter, was personable, knowledgeable, and provided excellent service. I appreciated the pacing of our meal. We did not feel rushed as had been the case at another "highly rated" Italian eatery in downtown Venice the other night. We both enjoyed our Ceasar salads and entrees. My husband's seafood dish was delicious; my lasagna with meatball was fantastic. Generous portion of gelato and biscotti capped off a great meal. All in all a very enjoyable and relaxing dining experience!“

“Sat outside with my pups and atmosphere was pretty cool for the area...alot of hustle n bustle. Let me just say this, by the end of the meal, I've never trusted a waiters suggestion more in my life than I did here ? seriously his descriptions took the words right out of my mouth. He has a gift! Started with the vegan pizza with impossible sausage ? WoOoOoW so yummy. (I'm picky with pizza also) ? then per our waiters suggestion had the Fiocchi Di Pera. Which is a pasta filled with a blend of four cheeses and pear in a truffle cream sauce. Probably one of my favorite pasta dishes I've ever had. The pear really set this dish off, the perfect amount of subtle sweetness. Had the tiramisu to finish the meal, which was alright, would not order this dessert again. The tiramisu had too much cream without enough lady fingers or coffee flavor.. went against our waiters' recommendation, so lesson learned. All n all I LOVED this meal and experience. Can't wait to come back.“

My wife then also took me to bingo night on Wednesday and that was great. Also. They're sign out on the road. Doesn't do them justice because the place is very nice inside. Definitely worth a try.

“We were at a special Christmas event with another couple. The music was good and fun. The food was ok. They had a lot of people in the event room. Very crowded. We had to get our drinks at the bar as waitstaff were very busy. Same with our meals. Had to speak to someone to come take our order. Minimal food. Limited to 4 choices. Anther year I would suggest they not pack the room quite as much.“

“Bravissimo. First, get captured by the dreamy, delish Italiano autentico pizza with exacting pleasurable proportions of crispy, cheesy, and crusty. You’ll note and savor the quality of the obviously fresh toppings. In total every dish on the intelligent menu is a riff of the chef’s inspiration — prepared, presented and plated with a finesse. The superb and well-selected top-shelf bar and tasteful complex drinks will nail you. Decor and ambiance is artsy/earthy and leans romantic and seductive. Taste of Italy offers a refined rustic dining experience with a subtle decadence you will love.“

“The one that I went to had a girl in the back with her kid while she works in the front and leaves her kid in a playpen in the back and you can see him and hear him yelling and screaming. I saw him from Afar and he's no more than 2 years old, and it's sad because. The woman that is, his mother is even bossing. Some other guy around in there saying go give him some thing to eat when it's her own child and he looks at me and it's like she talking about She's crazy. It's not even my kid. And she's yelling at me like this. This is not the first time that I have been in there. This is probably the third time and every time I've been in there. I have seen this kid in there and heard him. Yelling or crying or throwing his tablet. It is not a place for a child while you are at work and you put him in the back. And people can still see him not cool he's not any older than Two years old this is Atrocious and completely unsanitary and insanely sad and the mother. The mother seriously a mother seriously needs to be recognized.“
