Little Venetian

Food, especially the meat lasagna, is stellar! Please create a multigrain bread as not everyone can eat white plain bread! A variety of bread in the free basket is essential! Such a waste when many can’t eat your bread.
Pick up to go & order the full size as is worth it & 2-3 days of lasagna! Phenomenal
The dining area needs to be updated and renovated asap! Creative a Venice vibe & you will see sales rocket & expand.
I venture you have the usual customers and aren’t expanding or people go once in a great while or just pick up.
Please please please update ! We would frequent as the ambiance is sterile and outdated and not welcoming. There are no rich Italian colors or aesthetic appeal.
If you can add gelato in many flavors, even better! Mancini’s at the St. Fair has a gelato section & is wonderful! A nice edition with a renovation! Spice the place up! A Venice mural perhaps? Love the order & be seated! Clever! Lattes, cappuccino? Guess didn’t notice if you have those. Kick it up! I bet your loyal base with being friends of friends etc! Even more youth! 👍✅ Iced coffee too!
Lasagna best ever in Metro!

Ordered fried chicken and spaghetti special. The chicken tasted bad. Waitress asked how my meal was and I told her. She took a wing I didn’t eat back to the cook. He said it had stayed in the grease too long and was overcooked. They comped me with a desert I didn’t want. No refund for the meal the cook said was bad. Will not go back.

I just ordered a take-out “Lent Dinner from Little Venetian” AND IT WAS MORE THAN SPECTACULAR!!! It was gigantic portions of Fried Walleye filet, buttered Mash Potatoes, Tasty green beans that Honestly tasted like they were just picked from the garden, Tartar Sauce and butter and some Italian Bread!!! I swear to God it was the best tasting Walleye Dinner I have EVER EATEN, and I’ve eaten a lot over the years, my Favorite Fish!!! I enjoyed a cold glass House Moscato Wine, and now I’m completely satisfied with enough to enjoy a Walleye lunch or dinner with my leftovers!!! The service was fast and friendly and the waitress made me feel right at home!!!
Thank you Little Venetian which is a mini of the old and famous Venetian Inn formerly located on Rice St. in St. Paul! Even the cook is from Mama and Pappa Vitale which is nationally known for its goodness, kindness, exemplary service and Italian and American cuisine beyond compare! (My only regret was not taking a photo of the dinner I devoured!
Thank you So Much!!!

Does not respect diversity, equity, and inclusion. That’s anti-American and goes against the core of this country’s values. I will not support any business owners who does not respect presence of differences in dimensions of human identity. HARD PASS. I’ll find somewhere else!

We found this place on Google just searching for Italian food. It was about a 30 min drive for us. It's in a strip mall and the atmosphere is no frills. It's a little weird when you go in and order as you go to the register and order homw cooked food. So there are no servers but they will bus the tables . That is how we met the owner. She was a very nice lady and stopped and talked with us about the history of the restaurant and that her dad makes the bakery items. We had the spagethii and lasanag and a special pasta of the day. They did give free bread which all restaurant should do! We had some side salads which was not bad. We also got one of the upside down pineapple cake ...very good. If you are in the area check it out for sure!

Some of the best Italian food in Minnesota! With family recipes brought over from Italy nearly a century ago, it's hard to beat the tastes of Little Venetian. The service was just as great as the food. I'll definitely be back again!
