Service was great and so was entertainment. Food was ok I was not impressed.

Ordered: Taste of Italy (lasagna, chicken parmesan, fettuccine alfredo, garlic bread…cheese bread…house salad)Price: Great for speed, serving size. Overpriced for flavor.Delivered: within 45 minutes using Door DashTemp: very hot and well packagedServing size: Enough for one person to eat 3 meals.Flavor: Disappointing. Bland. No flavor. Tastes like bland tomato sauce. Needs more garlic and Italian SeasoningsReturn: Likely not if they do not spice it up.

The food was phenomenal! The service was very good (minus the fact that our server seemed to be overwhelmed and two other workers sat around and did nothing). I would have given 5 star review, but for some reason everyone in our group got their food 30 minutes before the hubs and I got ours. We all ordered at the same time. We had to get ours to-go because of other engagements that night. We literally got our food as we were needing to walk out the door (running late). We were a little bothered that we spent so much money on food we were going to have to wait a couple hours to eat. Server was busy and didn't get management involved. We finally got home heated it up in the oven (it was packed in oven safe dishes and warmed up very nicely considering it was in the fridge for about and about 2 hours). Very tasty food! I will go back and give a second chance at some point. I sure hope we have better luck next time!

Don't, just don't. I have never in my life taken one bite of food and just had to leave. We ended up cutting our losses, paying and heading to a real Italian place downtown.

This is a great little spot on historic 6th street featuring excellent authentic Italian food and the gifted singing of Anthony Zelante - who is also a fantastic chef! If you like a lite, fresh dish packed full of flavor, ask for "Tony's Special" and Anthony will pause his singing and go cook your meal. Just a very nice experience that we thoroughly enjoyed. Anthony's wonderful baritone singing is courtesy of tips. So please reward him generously via Venmo while you enjoy your meal.

We had a great meal, and dining experience. The weekend singer was a wonderful touch!

A quaint little restaurant in a converted gas station in the old Rte 66 district. I like Italian food accompanied by a glass of wine and Venezia didn't let me down. The food, house wine and service were all superb. We look forward to our next meal there.

The food was under salted. There were two waitresses but only one was actually working, leading to slow service and dirty tables everywhere. I felt bad for the one waitress that was literally bussing and serving every table while the other waitress had one table and she was flirting with him the entire time. She even ended up sitting down and flirting with him foe the entirety of our meal. I mean, do what you gotta do but it made service soooo sloooow. On top of that, like I said, the food was barely mediocre. Undercooked rolls, under salted sauce. At least the chicken was cooked all the way through... I think. Anyways, it wasn't the worst place ever but it also was just below mediocre as far as food and service is concerned

With all the online love I was excited to try Venezia. I was sorely disappointed on my visit. Everything was undercooked to the point of being inedible. The sauces, meat, and pasta all tasted like canned/packaged/premade products. Service was fine.

Such a great atmosphere and an absolute jukebox of an owner. Seafood combo was wonderful. It comes highly recommended!
This place has the best Italian cuisine I've personally ever had. Definitely the best in Amarillo. Go enjoy this place and give them your business so we don't lose such an amazing Italian Restaurant!! Seriously, go today!

Wonderful mom and pop Italian place downtown in the Route 66 district. Nice ambience and quality ingredients combine with fair prices to create a perfect choice for lunch or dinner for two on a budget.

First off, im from New York so i have high expectations. The pizza is definitely New York style. The crust is crispy, thin and has a good chew. But i would have appreciated a bit more sauce and cheese. My brother ordered the tour of Italy; which included the smallest piece of lasagna you could imagine, but it was delicious! Fettuccine alfredo, obviously homemade with real cream; yum! And chicken parmesan, which is what i also ordered as my entree. The chicken parmesan was a good portion, but I'm pretty sure was a frozen product. Still tasty though. We were told the meatballs were homemade, but i would bet you almost anything they were store bought/frozen also. Eggplant parmesan was delicious. Sliced thin and tasted fresh. Covered in what tasted like homemade marinara. The food overall was good, just think if they took the time to make everything fresh in house, could be amazing.

I made an order for pickup. I was told to give them 30 minutes. Arrived 30 min later and they had forgotten to print the order and give it to the cook. Had to wait 30 additional minutes to get my food. No apologies or offer to make it right. This is my first time trying this place, very disappointed. Beware of pickup or delivery ordering at this establishment.

Nice humble little spot. Honestly felt very authentic to me. It's not dressed up, it's all about the food and the food was fantastic. Our waiter was awesome, as well.
