Worst “Italian” meal i’ve ever had!! We were celebrating our son’s 21st birthday and it was his choice. I think Olive Garden would’ve been a better choice! My food was cold, The mushrooms on my food were undercooked, and the crab meat was ice cold! My friend Could not even cut her eggplant with a fork! My husband ordered his ribeye medium rare, and it came out sizzling What she was happy about, but once it stop sizzling, it was like shoe leather it completely turned into a done overcooked piece of leather! I will say the best thing that we had was the Italian salad and I don’t know how you can screw that up unless you put French dressing on it! We were totally disappointed and I do not know who’s running the place anymore, but I’ve been there many times It’s never been this horrific!!! Like I said, Olive Garden would’ve served better “Italian” Food than this dump

We got a little taste of everything. Pizza, spaghetti with Italian sausage, fettuccine alfredo. We'll start with the highs and go to the lows. The pizza was fine. The spaghetti tastes old, like the sauce was made days ago and been reheated one too many times. The fettuccine alfredo was awful. Had no taste of cheese. No taste of Romano or parmesan. Just cream and fettuccine noodles. And the service the waiter we had, seemed like he had somewhere else to be. I love Italian food. I love Italian restaurants and this one I will not be back. I recommend you skip over this one.

Honestly, I think we went in with our expectations a little too high. The wait was about 45 minutes on a Saturday night- not too bad. We got seated and it took ten minutes to get water. The server looked like he clearly didn’t want to be there lol. Waiting for food took a long time. The cheese bread was really good. The top half of the Caesar salad was decent until you got to the bottom it was extra saucy. The chicken parm came out a long while later. It was extra dry in a large pool of sauce. The Supreme with the dill cream sauce was basically inedible. The spaghetti was coated in tomato water and was crunchy, but not in an al dente kind of way. In total we were there for nearly two hours. Veneseeya later and we’re not coming back.

Hardly ever leave bad reviews, but I must in this case for visitors. Waited an hour for our food. Son said he was “waiting for the Roman Empire to return” it took so long. Steak had a burned residue (they never asked me how I wanted it cooked BTW) son’s pasta with meatballs was like “chef boyardee spaghettos” and I am hoping my wife’s shrimp pasta doesn’t do her in (looked nasty and she said it was awful) Could get five to six meals at McDonalds for the value.

I had the Fish Cynthia and it was delicious. Everyone in our party of 5 enjoyed their food. When many restaurant around town are hurting, Venezia was packed! We had a reservation for 5 at 6:00 PM. We got there on time and had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. There were so many people standing around waiting for a table that the wait staff had to keep excusing themselves to walk around. So too busy for my liking, but Five Stars for the food.

Big disappointment!!! Went because of the reviews but I will not go back! This can’t be the same restaurant that has these great reviews. Took 45 minutes to get our appetizers while the two tables next to us got theirs way before us and they were seated 20 min after us!! It’s seemed as the waitress forgot to put our order in. She disappeared for at least 30 min. Food was inedible! Chicken Marsala was bitter and spaghetti and meatballs were cold and sauce tasted like straight out of a can!! The service being terrible just made the dinner even worse. We had to get another waiter to get the check for us. Wasted time and money!!!!! Never again. Not worth it at all. You’ll do better going to McDonald’s!

Just had the best ribeye in the city. I asked them to cook my ribeye in olive oil and medium well. I didn’t expect it to me this good. When my food got to the table, my ribeye was sizzling hard for 5 mins. See the video yourself. It was cooked really well and tasted so amazing. I really enjoyed every bite of this ribeye.Dietary restrictions: They respected my wishes to use olive oil in my dishes.

This place is a hidden gem! We went here to celebrate our Anniversary & it did not disappoint. Cozy with romantic lighting, great music going on in the background. Waitress was friendly and offered great suggestions for our 1st time. Started with fried calamari. Surprisingly, they had amazing steak & crab cakes. I enjoyed eggplant parmesan stacked like lasagna. We ate too much & still had food to take home.

The food was very good and lots of it, however my baked ziti was only hot on the ends. If ordering a small salad, you may want to share it was pretty large. We ordered garlic bread with our meal but didn't get it until after we were through eating, and only after asking again. The server seemed overwhelmed and didn't offer any drinks after the first round.

One of my new favorite spots in the city. Went with my wife for our anniversary dinner. Food was exceptional! Some of the best garlic bread I’ve ever had! I cannot remember our server’s name but he was amazing and took great care of us.
