They had amazing eggplant parmesan the last time I was there, but unfortunately, I read their website and drove all the way there from out of town only to see a note on the door and darkened windows.

Got carryout Baked Spaghetti via Grubhub. It was very dry. There was barely any cheese on top and tomato sauce was out of balance.Would not try again.

Been a long time since I've been here but it's still an amazing and friendly place.our waitress answered all and any questions.The food was great and the drinks were too.

Great food and atmosphere. Had a date here. Didn't realize they had a live band that Friday evening so it was a pleasant surprise ? I forgot my takeout container but my fault. Parking could be better, but it's doable.

Great portion for the price. The food was good but I sauce was not what I expected. The red sauce was over powered by what I think was wine. Wine is a great way to cut the acidity in the sauce but in moderation. The meatballs were very good, I do recommend them.

The food at the Venice is and always has been delicious! For an appetizer we had breaded mushrooms and they were yummy. For main entrees we had a sausage roll and a meat lovers Italian style pizza and it was a ton of food and was fabulous! They didn't have any servers on the floor yet so the bartender waited on us. We were in the dining room and she was at the bar where she couldn't see us so the service was a little slow but she was friendly. We will be back soon!

First of all, the bartender, who also answered my phone call for the carry out order, was so friendly and nice. Her name was Joyce. Said pizza would be done in about 25 minutes, took a little longer. Cost for a large cheese was $15.64, definitely not the cheapest in Fort Wayne, but not a bank breaker either.Place was a little dingy, but it's a bar, so.Pizza review: Pretty good pizza. I asked for a large 14" cheese, done. They delivered, but not actually lol. Crust had that good crunch to it and held the pizza up, while also having good flavor. Underside was surprisingly plain, usually being this toasted they are a little dark on the bottom. Cheese tasted good, with heavy tones of toasted mozzarella. Seasoning, as seen on top of the cheese were strong, leading with basil and oregano? Sauce had a semi sweet taste up front, but mellows down into more of a classic pizza sauce flavor... could have had a touch more sauce, pizza just seemed a touch dry. Overall, Joyce, the bar, the pizza, 7.1? Good pizza, great bartender.

Wow! Was my first time visiting this restaurant and was more than pleased with the food. When looking at the building from outside I thought it was going to be another freezer to microwave Italian eatery, Boy was I wrong! Everything tasted authentic and our server Sue was great! The bartender also deserves a shout out for the old fashioned which she nailed 100%.The food was great and the portions were filling, we all had to get doggy bags.If you need good food and good drinks you can't go wrong with The Venice.

The place was so good that I went two days in a row . Loved the food and the vibe . It's very fancy yet historical in a way !

Visited the Venice a couple of weeks ago during Savor Fort Wayne. We intended on getting on of the Savor menu meals but after seeing another visitor's dinner, decided on pizza and were not disappointed! The pizza was fast, hot and tasted great! Next time we're trying the deep dish though.Loved the unique wall murals and the extremely friendly staff!
The staff was great, but the beer on tap was not that cold. Check your temp on beer cooler. And the food was not great, i would say ok. I THINK the cheese on the pizza was frozen, tasted very old.

Really good, kind, attentive service. Nice environment. A little noisy, but I am one that is affected easily by noise. Food was so very good.

I have never been to this restaurant before but absolutely enjoyed myself and loved the eggplant parm pizza, it was fantastic and will definitely come back to try that again with some other great dishes. Would definitely recommend, plus it wasn't crowded on a Friday night and the wait staff was so nice and friendly
