The Soda Fountain of Venice Reviews
Great food and great service. This restaurant has a vintage diner feel and even has old fashioned sodas.
The best pizza I ever ate and excellent service
Worst service ever! Server took our order and never checked on us. She was not kind in the slightest. Can’t even get a refill at the bar. Our food order was wrong but nobody ever checked on us and when I tried to get her attention or go up to the bar I was ignored completely. Server couldn’t even take the time to bring us our bill. Asked the hostess/food runner for it and still waited 30 mins just for a cook to come bring our bill. Felt like we were held hostage honestly....read full review

The Soda Fountain of Venice is a welcoming spot for a quick lunch or a leisurely meal. The friendly and attentive servers go above and beyond to ensure customers have everything they need. The menu offers a wide variety of options, including great salads, pizza, Sammy's, and ice cream, as well as a selection of beer. The garlic knots are a highly recommended treat. Customers have enjoyed simple meals like BLT sandwiches served with homemade chips, which are always well-prepared and nicely presented. The restaurant has a nostalgic feel, with some reviews noting that it is an old place in need of a makeover, especially the ladies restroom, which desperately needs a remodel due to cleanliness issues. Despite this, the food remains good, with pizza being especially praised for its freshness and taste. The staff often work hard alone, with one person managing both front and serving duties, yet they stay friendly and cheerful, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The location is easy to access with street parking and shared parking lots nearby, though wheelchair accessibility is limited to outside dining and public restrooms in the parking lots. Customers appreciate the decor and overall atmosphere, and many express their love for the place, returning year after year. The restaurant continues to be a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike.
