We had the worst service and food here on New Year’s Eve 12/31/2025. We had given this place another chance and again they fell way short and absolutely did nothing to try and make it better. We would not recommend. We had a party of 13. Bartenders were terrible the manager was awful and waitstaff was unorganized. Food came out and was not worthy of eating.

Hidden gem! The homemade ravioli was delish! Very relaxing (and close) alternative to the beach craziness….also this dessert drink! Affogato! Soooo good! Waitress was a doll! Ooo! And $1 oysters 4-6 …..

The buck a shuck is a complete scam. They split their oysters in half to cut on costs. It is very obvious. Would not go back.

Food and drink was outrageously and disgustingly priced for what you order. 5 mediocore scallops for $32 served over bed of crunchy, hard to choke down risotto.

Don't eat here unless you have a lot of money to spend and still want to be hungry afterwards. Theres better seafood literally anywhere else around.

The absolute worst chicken parm sub I've ever had only reason why they get a 2 star is the bartender was friendly. Absolute worst food in the area

For the price of this restaurant I really expected more.
First, it took 20 minutes of calling to get someone to answer the phone to make a reservation. the online reservation (on their own website) said online reservation wasn’t supported.

Then when we get there is took another 20 minutes for us to even be acknowledged and seated. While I recognize its prime tourist season, it was not busy at the restaurant. A few full tables but no where near capacity.

Then when we ordered the server was short, bordering on rude. I asked for a gin and tonic and asked what gin they had. “What do you want and I’ll tell you if we have it” 😳 ok then.

My wife and I ordered scallops and salmon over risotto and veggies. It was not risotto. It was watery rice and microwaved corn cubes. To say it was not appetizing would be an understatement.

Our friends ordered the ravioli and it came with 6…I am not kidding….6 smaller than the palm of your hand ravioli. It didn’t even come with a sauce.

Absolutely do not recommend eating here. Save your money and go literally anywhere else.

Took a quick overnight trip to RI and had an amazing meal here. The service was great, the food was absolutely delicious and the prices were unbeatable. I would recommend Venice to anyone looking for a relaxing meal with excellent staff!

We ordered drinks and dinner. Bread came out with the salads we ordered, the bread was stale, and the salad was good. I ordered Seafood Fra Diavlo, the Seafood and sauce were good, the pasta had a strange texture and taste. The other dinners at the table were acceptable “ nothing to write home about”. The atmosphere is pretty typical of the area, however, the table was small and cramped to have four adults seated at it. The service was not what it should be, the waitress did apologize for her lack of attentiveness. If you are looking for a special place to take your friends or partner, Venice Restaurant isn’t it!
