The restaurant I thought I was going to was a quaint exquisite out of way place. the restaurant I ate with my family last night was a modern brick construction (looked like a super market). the acoustics were terrible and to get to the deck must have been an after thought. the food was excellent I could detect a shortage of qualified help. the staff that poured the water her mind was not on the job and the waiter had too many tables

Stehani was our server and she was spot on. Everything was timed perfectly. Will definitely be returning for this incredible outdoor dining experience. Bravo Venezia!!

Father's day dinner was more than I'd hoped it would be. A beautiful day weather-wise was ended with a waterfront view that was spectacular. The prime rib special was enjoyed by my husband, and the filet mignon was perfection! We consider this our "secret" dining place, as we only come here for a romantic night out. This is truly a special place to enjoy food perfectly prepared, beautiful views and friendly service.

The restaurant is really nice and the food is amazing(especially the short ribs),I will recommend this restaurant at 100%.

Tucked away in Boston close to the harbour, wonderful atmosphere. Beautiful indoor dining currently.

Delicious food. First time there. Will definitely be back again!!!

Very elegant in the inside and outside. The outside has an amazing water view

Everything about Venezia was beautiful 10/10!

Gorgeous night and service was great

We sat outside and it was very nice. Inside was a bit noisy. I wish the restaurant would add or change the menu. Im not a big fish person and their was not a lit that appealed to me. It seems like the menu has been the same for years. The prices are a bit high for Dorchester but it is close and the food is pretty good but I wouldn’t travel from a long distance to go here.

I always experience excellent service and food that is presented beautifully and is always delicious. So happy to have Venezia close by. Thank

Love Venezia! Outdoor dining was perfect -weather was beautiful, spectacular views of Boston skyline! Food was good, service was awesome. I didn't give food five stars because the Sicilian Seafood Salad had canned tuna. Not exactly what my guest was hoping for sitting on the waterfront. The wait staff was very attentive and service was never delayed. My party came in a little late, after 2pm for lunch. We were treated so kind, with no concerns of time.
Looking forward to coming again soon!

Couldn’t haven’t enjoyed the view and food more. Will be back

Chicken Francese was tremendous!

Went there to celebrate a birthday but no acknowledgement nor candle during dessert. 😞

We sat outside which was very nice. The food was good as usual. We were so happy to be back after such a long covid time.
I realize it may be hard to get qualified help, but our server was not up to your high standards, although with some training she could be.

The wait staff was non intrusive but attentive. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and never felt rushed. The food was delicious
.

The service was excellent, the food was wonderful and an amazing view. I have always had wonderful experiences here and I would recommend it.

Food and service is good. Noise level is very loud.

Had a great time tonight celebrating our friend's birthday!

Venezia NEVER disappoints. My favorite place. Seated immediately at very busy time. Inside not near window but still a nice view. After 10 minutes with bread and olive oil a man walked over and said a window seat opened up and wanted to know if we would like it. NEVER has that happened before. OF COURSE awe did. They make our calamari the way we like it without batter. We both had the specials, his was prime rib and blackened shrimp and I the lobster shrimp white wine sauce over homemade noodles was to die for. We both had no left overs and still managed to share the triple. Hi plate cake my favorite over the molten cake….service was wonderful. The only complaint and I hate mentioning it but I wish they would do something about the noise level. When it is busy it is always like that an disturbing which is why we like outside but it was raining. I think it’s the acoustics in the room but we can hear every laughter at every table like they were screaming especially from the corners. Oh and let me comment about the view…the best of Boston without having to go to Boston. Love that sunset over the gas tanks…very nostalgic…love it there.❤️❤️❤️💐

Venezia used to be our favorite restaurant. My husband and I went for years before and after we were married. We were disappointed that the menu had changed my husbands favorite veal dish was taken off the menu. Also it was extremely loud they kept making room for more tables. This is just after reopening we were packed like sardines. Anyway, it has changed and it’s not the place to go for a nice, quiet dinner for two. My opinion.

Noise level was particularly high on this day, as there was a baby shower and another party on either side of our dining area. Even so, food was good, and both service and the view were great!

Food was sooo good! Definitely will be going again!

Anniversary

Terrific service, food and views of Boston. It was our anniversary and they couldn’t have been nicer. Gerald was an excellent waiter!
Very unique experience. Definitely recommend Venezia, it a hidden gem! ❤️

The food here leaves a lot to be desired. For the price, the flavor and the quality of the meal was not up to what I thought it should be. Seafood risotto was poorly seasoned and poorly presented. The indoor seating was not well spaced nor well ventilated, and the noise was ridiculous especially from the large party that was seated in the main dining area.

We made a reservation for outside to celebrate a special occasion. When we checked in they told us that “open table had over reserved outside” and we could either wait an undetermined amount of time or sit inside. While the whole reason we chose this spot was to sit outside by the water, we ended up inside in the air conditioning and my partner had goosebumps. The food was alright. The waiter that we had was very good. On the whole, one negative review will have no effect on Venezia - they were busy the entire time. That said, if you’re looking to celebrate something and want it to be special, choose somewhere else. These folks don’t care.

It was my Dads birthday and I heard such good things about your restaurant. So I wanted to give it a try. I was very disappointed. My husband ordered the restaurant special and the steak was tasteless and the vegetables was not cooked, my Dad ordered the Shrimp Scampi it is ridiculous what you charge for a plate to only get 2 pieces of shrimp and I ordered the steak with the twice baked potato and the spinach, there was nothing in my baked potato and no flavoring on the steak, it tasted gamey.

I was truly disappointed!!!!

Venezia is a beautiful picturesque spot for great food. The menu is smaller and has nice variety. Food is delicious and view is wonderful. Can be a bit noisy when full but not something that bothered our table of six. Great wait staff. Fabulous scallops and short ribs - swordfish special WAS special. Always a great meal with great service.

Excellent time. Fantastic food. All around top notch.

Ate outside on fantastic evening. Staff were very accommodating, great location, great food, great staff!

It was good and very conducive for business meal/special occasions.

Darrio was a fabulous waiter. The food was outstanding.

This was the first time my wife ate INDOORS since pandemic. She was a little nervous.
The professionalism of the Venezia staff made the dinner a wonderful experience.

Service was great, food was delicious,if not pricey! Ambiance very nice. We had a table by a window on the water. But, noise level was pretty loud.

One of our favorites, but disappointed to see the veal dishes absent from the limited menu. Hope they are brought back now things are returning to pre pandemic levels.

Diverse and delicious menu with excellent service.

Wonderful family birthday dinner. Ordered a cake and it was perfect! Server was fantastic!!!

A wonderful setting and the food was delicious! I highly recommend the Venezia.
