I had the Fish Cynthia and it was delicious. Everyone in our party of 5 enjoyed their food. When many restaurant around town are hurting, Venezia was packed! We had a reservation for 5 at 6:00 PM. We got there on time and had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. There were so many people standing around waiting for a table that the wait staff had to keep excusing themselves to walk around. So too busy for my liking, but Five Stars for the food.

Big disappointment!!! Went because of the reviews but I will not go back! This can’t be the same restaurant that has these great reviews. Took 45 minutes to get our appetizers while the two tables next to us got theirs way before us and they were seated 20 min after us!! It’s seemed as the waitress forgot to put our order in. She disappeared for at least 30 min. Food was inedible! Chicken Marsala was bitter and spaghetti and meatballs were cold and sauce tasted like straight out of a can!! The service being terrible just made the dinner even worse. We had to get another waiter to get the check for us. Wasted time and money!!!!! Never again. Not worth it at all. You’ll do better going to McDonald’s!

Just had the best ribeye in the city. I asked them to cook my ribeye in olive oil and medium well. I didn’t expect it to me this good. When my food got to the table, my ribeye was sizzling hard for 5 mins. See the video yourself. It was cooked really well and tasted so amazing. I really enjoyed every bite of this ribeye.Dietary restrictions: They respected my wishes to use olive oil in my dishes.

This place is a hidden gem! We went here to celebrate our Anniversary & it did not disappoint. Cozy with romantic lighting, great music going on in the background. Waitress was friendly and offered great suggestions for our 1st time. Started with fried calamari. Surprisingly, they had amazing steak & crab cakes. I enjoyed eggplant parmesan stacked like lasagna. We ate too much & still had food to take home.

The food was very good and lots of it, however my baked ziti was only hot on the ends. If ordering a small salad, you may want to share it was pretty large. We ordered garlic bread with our meal but didn't get it until after we were through eating, and only after asking again. The server seemed overwhelmed and didn't offer any drinks after the first round.

One of my new favorite spots in the city. Went with my wife for our anniversary dinner. Food was exceptional! Some of the best garlic bread I’ve ever had! I cannot remember our server’s name but he was amazing and took great care of us.

We were recommended this restaurant and as it’s our first time here. We looked at the reviews and they seemed about good so we arrived there and walked in and as soon as we did, we were IGNORED. I’m sorry, I thought this was a damn restaurant, not a place where you just stand there and look stupid, waiting to be seated. There was an old women that had grey-white hair who would just look at us with a nasty stare , and a man with a slick back (outdated hair style) who wouldn’t talk or respond to my father saying excuse me to try to get him to get us seated . The man with the slick back, told my elderly father “one minute” in really broken, bad Spanish, while we were clearly speaking English, very ignorant and racist. Apparently this restaurant is family owned since the 1950 or around that time, I would think with that much years of experience and customers you would train your staff to have respect and BASIC manners but clearly we missed that step. Please save yourMoney and go somewhere else.

Classic New Orleans style Italian spot. Great atmosphere for a cute date night. Food was great but, like a lot of places, they decreased the serving size and increased the price.
