Engagement

Went during Boston Restaurant week. Rather quiet due to late lunch. Always wonderful food. I ordered off R.W. menu,wife off standard lunch. This way we split app and dessert. Had shrimp scampi- excellent- too much pasta to finish. Wife had haddock which also was excellent- baby potatoes/ fresh green beans. Eggplant app was fantastic and easily split for two. Lava cake dessert was also a hit. Between the Boston / water views you can’t go wrong. Service as always was great. Visit quite often mostly for lunch. You have to be familiar with the area- could be a tough find for out of towners. Lounge and live music is great.

Always a great meal and exceptional service!

FABULOUS AND DELICIOUS!
Setting gorgeous!!
Loved it..had a delicious time!!

Excellent views of the south Boston harbor, elegant dining room and superb menu options. We enjoyed fantastic food and service.

Went for my birthday celebration. This place reminded me of being on the Royal Caribbean cruise ship where everyone is over 65! What water views?! Waiting staff was overwhelmed and took forever to take our order. Complimentary bread was cold and stale. Food was sub par and wine list was quite mediocre. Way overpriced for below average food & service. Would not return.

Venezia is such beautiful restaurant. I definitely need to visit during the warmer months to really get the waterfront experience.

The service was great. My water glass stayed full. The bread basket had delicious seasoned bread served with olive oil, garlic cloves and vinegar.

We ate from the Dine Out Boston menu. We both had the meatballs for our appetizer. There were 3 large meatballs per order. They were delicious.

I ordered the shrimp with pasta entrée. I enjoyed it. My husband had the pork tenderloin. He loved the cabbage with raisins. I tasted it and it was delicious. His pork needed some sort of sauce. So he ended up asking for some A-1.

We both ordered the chocolate lava cake for dessert. It came with a scoop of ice cream. It tasted good. But isn't a lava cake supposed to have a chocolatey liquid center? That's my only complaint about the dessert.

Overall I enjoyed my meal. I love the restaurant. And I will definitely return.

Perfect experience

Upscale yet comfortable, fabulous authentic Italian food, impeccable service with lovely views. Will definitely return!!

From the staff to the meal everything was perfect!

Fantastic service from Edwing.
Great food
I really enjoyed coming here everybody is very friendly

We had a wonderful meal, top notch service and very reasonable prices. We love this place

Beautiful views of Boston and the harbor. Food was very good but noise level was a bit too much!

Exceptional service, great good, nice atmosphere. Noisy and hard to have a conversation even at a small 4 person table but other than that it was a perfect evening.

We were a party of six and everyone thought the food quality was 5 stars as was the service. The table we sat at was round and a bit small for six people. The restaurant was busy which is always a good sign but with the tables clustered close together the ambient noise was at a level such that conversation around the table was difficult. Still, we would definitely go back again.

I did not like having a small round table connected to a rectangular table crammed against a textured glass wall for a party off 7. Once you were seated you couldn't move. Also had to walk around another patron's table to get to the round table. Makes me wonder if the closeness of the tables to each other is up to fire code and capacity limits. Food was great per usual

Waiter seemed to have trouble understanding English. Very frustrating.

Great restaurant- hadn’t been in a long time. Stopped by the winery first for a fund raiser which was a lot of fun. Great seats and view, quality food, Dave was a wonderful server and prices are reasonable. Worth the funky ride in!

Have not dined here in many years and now wonder what took us so long to return. Great food, superb service and a wonderful view over the water. Will plan to go back soon.

When my husband and I plan a "Date night," we choose the Venezia. The location overlooks the water and the view of the city, especially at dusk and evening, is beautiful.

The service is always excellent and so is the food!

Food was excellent. It is a bit expensive but par for the course when comparing Boston area restaurants. Will definitely go back.

The food was Ok, nice selection, but somewhat lacking in execution. Nice setting, but very noisy. Service was fine.

Excellent food and atmosphere!
Beautiful view of Boston.

Took a friend there for her birthday. I had lobster Alfredo. It was delicious and they are not stingy with the lobster. Also got eggplant lasagna and I would get it again.

I’ve lived here for 3 years and just discovered this restaurant what a diamond in the rough.
Service was excellent!!!! Drinks were divine. The food was delicious. In thinking this will be my new once a week place to go.
Love the ambiance ❤️
I’m dining there tonight can’t wait.

We went to check out the wedding venue, which we loved. Had dinner with friends and was sent out a dessert by the wedding coordinator. It was a tremendous meal. This was my second time eating here and I was highly impressed both times. A+

Dining with a beautiful view of the Boston skyline, excellent service, and the food is top-notch. Phenomenal value for the price! We’ll be back soon.

My husband and i really enjoyed our valentine's day Dinner . Everything was wonderful

We were seated around a corner near the bathroom with no water view. The waiter was ok. When we told him our daughter was married there 10 years ago he didn’t seem to care

Person seating didn’t seem to know about reservations. Probably filling in for someone.

The wait staff is always friendly.
The food is very good.
My server "gato" is amazing .
Great view overlooking the Boston Harbor

The food was very good, the steaks were huge portions and the shoreline view was nice. Nice restaurant tucked away. I would recommend going there for dinner.

Food and svc superb

I had not been to Venezia in ages and while on a recent visit to Boston decided to celebrate family birthdays there. The clams casino was not as good as it use to be but the rest of the meal was delicious! Service was prompt and accurate.

Everything about this restaurant was perfect. Food was amazing and service was impeccable. Cant wait to go back!

Overall great experience with great food and service

In our experience, Venezia is consistently excellent. Last night my husband and I happened to be celebrating our mutual birthday. As frequent guests, however, we do not need a special reason to enjoy the atmosphere and delicious food. It was our good fortune to be served by Dave last night. He knows our likes and dislikes and never misses on a recommendation from the menu or specials we might enjoy. You do not have to be a familiar face to warrant special treatment. As you watch Dave move from table to table, you realize he serves everyone with the same excellence.

It was a slow night at the restaurant but the few tables that were there, conversation was fairly loud. I think it is because they sat all the tables close together by the windows so everyone can have a "view". The food was okay but not great. I had the risotto which was bland but my husband's dish was too salty. Perhaps it was just an off night for the chef. The service was excellent though. The staff were very attentive. We may give this place another try but likely not in the immediate future.

It was a pretty good location in terms of waterfront real estate but not much else was great about it. The food was okay. The service was okay. We were seated at a table with nearly no lighting. Honestly, it was a little over priced.

Excellent. Everything was perfect!
