About the restaurant

In May 2021, this 40year-old-neighborhood gem on a hill underwent a full renovation. Venetian Palace is now sporting new digs with crisp modern decor and an expanded wine list. The impetus for the revamp was new ownership. Yes, the rumors are true... Valentino’s Restaurant Group which began in NE Baltimore city has now come to Harford County!

The food is better than ever, with highlights being the seafood pasta, the jumbo lump crab cakes, the grilled lamb chops, artisan handhelds, and the breakfast choices served all day. Whether you are dining in or picking up carry-out do not forget the dessert!

Come as you are, the staff is knowledgeable and ready to serve. We also offer our entire menu for carryout. For your convenience, The Venetian Italian Eatery has teamed with Doordash, GrubHub & Uber Eats.

Buon appetito!

Overall, it was a decent place to eat and we enjoyed the food. It was a little crowded for Father's Day, and waiter came to the table long after we were seated, but after that, it was pretty smooth sailing.

Service was less than desirable as it took lots of time to get drinks and food. Food was very good.

About the restaurant

If our elaborate two-story design, casual atmosphere, and great service don't tempt you to visit us, our delicious menu will. From traditional homemade lasagna, to our savory lobster tetrazzini, or premium veal saltimbocca, everyone will find a favorite here. Enjoy a great meal while you watch scenes form the Italian Country Side on our Humongous projector screen, largest movie screen of any local restaurant. Or perhaps you prefer to dine in one of our private rooms, perfect for presentation, birthdays, rehearsal diners, anniversaries, etc.

Also, Liberatore's Lounge is a classy place to catch live local music, unwind with a drink (FYI: Best Martini Bar), or catch your favorite game on one of our 7 large screen TVs. While lounging, enjoy our Lite fare Menu or any items from our full menu, but make sure you do not miss our Happy Hour Promotions M-F 4-7 pm.

Whether with family or friends, come and treat yourself to an evening full of flavor and style.

We had a great time at red brick. Our waitress, Selma, was super. She was pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable. She took great care of us. The food was very good and we were sitting outside as the weather was marvelous. The noise level was ok as the restaurant is near an open public area. The only downside but was still OK. The beer was great and the prices are descent. Nice place to meet and eat with friends. I highly recommend it.

Food was great. Chips and salsa amazing. Server was attentive. Unfortunately went on one on the hottest days this summer and the air conditioning in restaurant could not keep up. We felt badly for the servers who were working hard.
