This review is for the Greenwood Village location (Venice Ristorante Italiano) This business has three locations with three slightly different names: Venice Ristorante & Wine Bar (in Downtown Denver), the Venice Ristorante Italiano (in Greenwood Village/the DTC) and Chianti Ristorante Italiano (near the Cherry Creek Reservoir). My wife and I went out to eat on Thursday (Apr 12, 2024) to a new restaurant we've never been to before; the Venice Ristorante & Wine Bar, located in Greenwood Village, Colorado. My wife made the reservation using the OpenTable app. It wasn't a special occasion for us, we like to go out to eat every other Thursday, and try out new restaurants. This review took up more time/space/words than Yelp would allow, but they allow me to upload photos. There were two photos I was planning to attach (will attach), but my review was too lengthy for the space allowed (maximum of 5,000 characters), so I've screen captured the review and attached it as a separate document. I've rated my review '1 Star' - If you'd like to read the review, and understand the reasons why, please see the 'fullreview_12apr2024.png' attachment. Essentially, this restaurant needs to move to a new location if they wish to serve customers appropriately. Additionally, you may also be interested to learn why I posted this review on Yelp, as opposed to OpenTable... The answer to that question might help explain why the restaurant has such a high rating on 'OpenTable' (and other review sites?). Denver area Diners

The service and food was spectacular. The management made us feel like we were family.
Authentic Italian food. Great wine selection. Great service. The decoration and ambiance is perfect. One of few top spots for Italian food in the Denver metro area.
Had an excellent dinner at this restaurant - highly recommend! James was professional, knowledgeable, and he made the experience exceptional.

The Venice Italian Restaurant is a must visit. The menu is loaded with amazing options and the Venice team is attentive and friendly. I enjoyed the Pappardelle con Cinghiale and tiramisu, while other members of our party loved the Bolognese and Lasagne. Reservations are easy through the online portal. Enjoy!

this place is awful. the staff is mean, especially the management. Greatly overpriced, and I have no desire to be treated poorly. Suggest a better place, like Arbys'Parking: forget it

This restaurant is stunning! From the decor to the food and the service! We where treated like long lost family and had the absolute best time. For the experience and the food this restaurant is well priced. I recommend the ravioli made with the butternut squash, so good! This was an experience us folks from Kansas won't soon forget and if we are ever back in Denver we will return! Thank you for creating such a warm and inviting place! God Bless!

They were really hopping but didn't miss a beat. The appetizer, entrees, wine and dessert were all delightful, as was the service (as always)! The sommelier and server gave us some wonderful suggestions. We'll be back soon!
Went to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Venice is our favorite restaurant by far. Last nite was the best. Giancarlo the manager always greets us -Mainly Rose because she is Italian-I’m Irish and have no credibility at all. The food was grand and Chris our waiter and Lucas the Bus guy -Also a favorite or Roses went out of the way to give us a grand meal. Finished off with a great dessert and a wonderful conversation with Giancarlo who shared with us that he just became an American citizen. Just a great evening.

Got take out. The pasta was delicious, perfectly cooked. The bread - a true measure of a restaurant - was wonderful. Salad was fresh and interesting. We will certainly be back.
