    Service and food were extraordinary! My husband had the seafood with pasta and I had the mushroom ravioli. We also had the veal meatballs for an appetizer and tiramisu for dessert. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of their offerings. This is now our go to for Italian!

    Best Happy Hour in Denver! We're Happy Hour "regulars" for many reasons. We love the welcoming ambiance the minute we come in the door! The Happy Hour cocktails and wine served by Dennis and team are the best! My Super Tuscan is especially tasty. The authentic Italian small plates menu has everything from salads and charcuterie to pastas, chicken, and veal dishes. The portions are more than ample! We chose the Rigatoni Con Salsiccia e Porcini -- a family favorite. We love the spicy Italian sausage and sauce. We also chose the Tortellini di Zucca (delicious pasta filled with roasted butternut squash, walnuts and parmesan cheese in a marinara vellutata sauce). One of my favorites is the Pollo Piccata (a generous and tender portion of chicken with capers and roasted garlic in a lemon chardonnay wine sauce)! The accompanying fresh vegetables were so flavorful. Come in for Happy Hour and You'll come back for dinner! The bar is fun and lively. The dining room is upscale and comfortable! Italy without the plane ticket!!

    Best Birthday Celebration! Venice is our favorite place to celebrate family birthdays! You feel like you have stepped into the warmth of Italy when you come in the door. The cocktails, served by Dennis and team, are perfect. The wine selection is amazing! The delicious and authentic Italian food is so flavorful and delicious. In addition to our favorites, there are always new specials to enjoy. To start, we enjoyed our favorite Veal Meatballs with gorgonzola and parmesan cheese in spicy Arrabiata sauce and Mozarella Caprese (vine-ripened tomatoes with fresh mozzarella, basil and olives). Our entrees were outstanding --Fettucine Alfredo Con Pollo and Cioppino. The Cioppino's spicy broth included mussels, shrimp, calamari, fish, and clams! It's my favorite! The desserts were beautifully presented and delicious! The entire staff is attentive and welcoming. Michael's service was superb! The ambiance is upscale, but very comfortable. We love Venice!

    As always the service was top notch. Va bene! Georgia was awesome and sweet and such a good server. And Nunzio and Paco are always a treat. Georgia made us feel welcome and treated us like royalty. 10/10 recommend.
