The chicken Jerusalem is my most favorite dish, I keep forgetting to take a picture before I’ve finished eating it! As well as, the Stuffed Mushrooms are literally THE BEST I’ve ever had, and I get that whenever I can at an Italian restaurant!

Blew my mind. I got Door Dash at 9 on a SUNDAY and just ordered one of the best tortellini dishes I’ve had being in Dallas. I am an Elite hairstylist at ULTA and this Hands Down made my night after a long shift on a Sunday. You def doing the Lords work 🙏🏼🫶🏻🤣🤍 thank you ☺️ IG:fallondidthat

Venezia’s is a true gem of an Italian restaurant. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed like family — not just by the wonderful staff, but also by the owners themselves, who clearly pour their heart into the place.
We started with the mozzarella sticks, which came out hot, crispy, and perfectly cheesy. The starter salad was surprisingly unique — fresh greens topped with grated mozzarella that really set the tone for the meal.
For mains, we tried the lobster ravioli, grilled chicken alfredo, and a large pepperoni and sausage pizza. Each dish had its own standout qualities — the pasta was rich and flavorful, the alfredo was creamy and comforting, and the pizza was everything you want in a classic pie: generous toppings, great crust, and plenty of flavor.
What really makes Venezia’s special, though, is the people. The owners go out of their way to connect with guests, and the young wait staff is attentive, polite, and always smiling. It’s rare to find a restaurant where the food and the service are equally outstanding, but Venezia’s absolutely delivers on both.
Highly recommend this spot for anyone who loves Italian food and values genuine hospitality. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to come back to again and again.
*** do NOT skip the dessert, they are simply amazing. We will do another review on the homemade desserts alone. ***

I was in the middle of running errands and decided I had to have food. No breakfast and 3:00 in the afternoon. Food was a necessity. Stopped in and had a meatball sub. The sub was really good and the service was excellent. Now I wish I had ordered a side with marinara to go with it. Hindsight!!

Stumbled upon this gem in Rockwall on our way to Allen—what a find! Cozy atmosphere, amazing music, and incredible food. The pepperoni stromboli and white sauce pizza were both phenomenal—fresh, flavorful, and nothing greasy. Friendly staff, tons of menu options, and desserts worth saving room for. Definitely coming back with family!

So sad they either changed cooks or changed the recipe for the chicken Alfredo. That use to be the best chicken Alfredo I ever had. Now it's not good at all
Wow! We were driving through Rockwall from church headed to Allen and found this gem!!! The inside of the restaurant is so cozy and inviting, the music selection incredible. I ordered the pepperoni stromboli and my husband ordered a white sauce pizza and we were so impressed. It is THE BEST stromboli I have ever eaten. The flavor, authenticity, attention to detail and real ingredients nothing tasted processed which is hard to find nowadays. That sluggish feeling you get from eating greasy fast food pizza is non-existent because they use quality ingredients. We will definitely be bringing our family back! The customer service is impeccable and there are so many menu options and dessert options. Thank you for making our date so memorable. ❤️

Atmosphere and service were great. It felt like a cozy family owned restaurant. The chicken rollatoni (spelling?) special was the highlight of the night. The other food was a little underwhelming, and the house dressing tasted like ketchup. Bread was very soft. I would go back and get that chicken rollatoni again, just skip the apps and dessert! Price was also very fair. We got apps, salad, entree for two, dessert, coffee, and a pizza to go for $88 before tip. It was easy to hold a conversation and I loved the feeling of community here. The clientele seems to be an older crowd. Lots of vegetarian options and food came out quick.

The Sea Bass is wonderful. It looks like a great setting for a small wedding.

My wife and I agree that this is the best, and our Italian restaurant, including many in Italy where we have dined. I believe that many of the wait staff actually prepare some of the food - at least, our waitress prepared our dessert - and she was quite happy that we loved every bit of it. I had the absolute best Chicken Picatta I’ve ever eaten, and my grandson (a regular there) always gets the Lobster Ravioli. Bruschetta was perfect, and my son in law and I “sopped up” every once of dressing with the garlic knots. The restaurant itself is very attractive, with subdued lighting and very nice framed artwork; my ONLY complaint was the TV set in the back room. It was not turned up, and was NOT a distraction to our dining and conversation.. but it just somehow did not fit in with the textured walls and fine art… sort of like wearing tennis shoes with a suit. If you are interested enough to look at Italian Restaurant reviews you really should try this one.

Wonderful place. Food, service, atmosphere, everything was just wonderful. A bit pricey but well worth it. Their desserts are incredible.
