   The best part was the view! The food was good , don’t get me wrong but the service was just so- so. Waited at least 10 minutes to place order for food after having our drinks. The bread was never replenished and it was not very good. The pasta was great, didn’t offer any cheese though. Is that passé now?! Coffee was mediocre. Better places to visit in Boston.

   I wouldn’t go back on Mother’s day again. The appetizers and meal must have been pre-cooked. When we ordered the apps, they were on our table in under 3 minutes and our entrees were on on the table under 8 mins. It seemed like it was speed dating. We were done in less than 40 minutes. The salmon was chewy.

   As it was Mother's Day, the dining room was loud and crowded yet am glad to see people aupporting local restaurants. Food was great although portions a bit smaller - still delicious!

   You will never go wrong eating at Venezia. Food is always fresh and delicious. Wait staff very professionally courteous. If you go there enough as I do they get to know you and conduct thenselves in a more personal way eg Nice to see you again. How are you doing today.

   The food was tasty and I’m glad they offered the Mother’s Day brunch. The service wasn’t good and our waiter did the bare minimum. When we got our bill, they added 18% gratuity which shouldn’t be the case since we were a party of 4 and I would have given 10%.

   Surf and turf was pretty good! I wish it was a whole lobster tail rather than a small lobster casserole because it was on the higher end price wise.

    First of all no parking available light completely full. Handicap spots were taken by people with no handicap plates or visual cards. There was plenty of food but not a lot of flavor. The two best items of our meal or the Caesar salad and the banana bread pudding. Overall was not that bad of an experience food needs to be flavored up and spiced up and definitely need to do something about parking especially handicap.

    We had a birthday reservation which wasn’t acknowledged at all. The salad was very good. Everything else was unfortunately poor. Good atmosphere but if your looking to go somewhere for your birthday, I sadly wouldn’t recommend.

    The place offers beautiful views of Boston and the water. But the food leaves so much to desire for The mussels were unhealthily large and in a sauce which offered little flavor. The Veal Procini was inedible and felt like stale meat. The shrimp scampi needed so much more lemon .. a key ingredient for the scampi I wish the place lived up to its hype

    Venezia’s has been our go-to restaurant for every special occasion for years. The food is consistently great, the view can’t be beat and atmosphere is just right for a romantic dinner. However, for this anniversary dinner my husband and I can not rate the overall experience with 5 stars. Our server made many mistakes with our order. First, he brought our appetizer (we were sharing) and our salads at the exact same time. Next, we had ordered a pasta course to share which should have been followed by our 2 entrees but he brought all 3 meals at the same time. We had to take the pasta course to go so our entrees would not get cold. For a dinner that cost us $200 (we had drinks) these mistakes are unacceptable. They could have at least given us the pasta dish for free or at the very least a free glass of wine.

    Lunch was delicious, the wait service was exceptional. I took my 90+year old mom and a friend for lunch and they loved it! No stairs, beautiful view varied lunch menu. Everything was perfect. The waiter could not have been more attentive and patient. Wish I could recall his name to recognize his service.

    It was Easter and very busy. My companion asked for scallops instead of lobster in his dish. We had the last reservation of the night so the kitchen should have been accommodating. The table next to us got it. This is the second time we have been told they couldn’t switch out an item. Last time it was broccoli and asparagus.

    Overall it was a very good dining experience, great view, excellent food & wine. But due to the fact that it was Easter Sunday, it was extremely noisy in the smaller room. It’s no one‘s fault, but we were yelling across the table in order to hear each other through first part of meal. But it eventually cleared out and got better. We still love it there!!

    A lovely night out celebrating our daughter’s 20th birthday. We chose it because it was close to Umass Boston. We were very pleased because The food & service was very good. I had the shrimp scallop and mushroom risotto. It was excellent. Desserts were good too. Lots of parking and the water view was lovely.

    We liked what we had a week ago for dinner, so we returned this past Sunday, for another excellent meal. This time we had a beautiful view of the Boston skyline. We learned that Venezia has a scratch kitchen, so my wife, who has a gluten intolerance, was delighted. We had the calamari appetizer and the chef prepared it in a Sautee. She was able to exchange carbs with vegetables. Kudos to Venezia!

    Typically one of our favorite places to dine. The hosts, bartenders, our server & server assistants were outstanding. We had the best water view. Thank you for a great table! Our drinks were great. The food was mediocre at best. Dishes were once flavorful were rather bland & the muscles were not fresh. We even had a couple of bad muscles in the batch. We hope the food quality & flavor improves to what it once was on our next trip to the restaurant.
