This place is a solid choice for Italian in the area. And since Yolanda’s closed they have the best local chicken parm heroes.

I’ve been coming to this establishment for over 50 years. Every time I’m in the city I come back. When it moved from his original location to the present location now which is directly across the street hands had changed. I still would come at least twice a month. Last night, the cook Ray was above and beyond exceptional. Please keep up the standard. The meal was fantastic. My veal & shrimp was cooked to perfection!!!!

I gotta say I was a little skeptical of it but they went above and beyond and really delivered the goods. The delivery man was nice and very personable. Their Margarita Pizza was top tier. Filling but light, it put me right into itis and I was out for the count. Best mozzarella and basil pizza I've tasted in the Bronx in a long time and worth a try. I will now be a faithful customer

After covid, a lot of people have stopped congregating and eating at restaurants. This place used to get packed, but people have decided to order their food. Either way, if you di ne in or order your food, the food is very good!!! I've been going there for the past 10 years and I have never gotten sick from their food! I like to order the chicken and shrimp sandwich but light on the tomatoe sauce! Boy oh boy is that filling and delicious!!

I don’t know if the owners are the same from the late 60s early 70s but I remember the spaghetti and meatballs were to die for as well as the lasagna and my dad’s favorite spaghetti and meat sauce. I also remember the veal Parmesan; outstanding. I grew up in the projects a block away until 1975. Venice Restaurant was a pure slice of Italy. I remember the owner and his wife; they loved my appetite! Good memories! I’m trying to get back to eat next year since I’m in California now. Thank You

Their pizza is some of my favorite for delivery but the delivery driver will always call you and ask you to come downstairs or outside to make the pick up. Frustrating, obviously no reason to tip them if they don’t even complete the service.

Disaster music! Plus some movie in an unknown language (on the last volume) with the volume up on the phone of the service staff!!! As for the menu! Pasta in Mosakhari! Which menu did I order, they br
I liked it a lot and not just because we share the same name but because the ambiance was so inviting.
I like the music they played too.
I had the chef salad, and it was just so fresh. Would definitely return.
