   Very good classic Italian. Service was good, but maybe a little too quick. Main dishes were delivered before we finished our appetizer plates. Not really enough time for a second glass of wine, which I probably would have gotten. Very good main portions (too good for my waist).

   Went in for late lunch early dinner to celebrate my Mom’s birthday - we had a wonderful time! Service was top-notch, above and beyond. I want to go back and try more things on the menu. Thank you for making it such a great time for my Mom!

   Perfection as we met the Manager and he seated the 3 of us. He was fun, passionate and I can tell the employees highly respect him. Our food was delicious and Im Italian so thumbs up! We had drinks, unique appetizers, beautiful salad to the amazing Main entrees of Sage Ravioli's, Gorgonzola cheese sauce pasta and Sea bass etc. WOW it was top notch and fun even at 9pm. Hats off to the chef!

   Fabulous delicious meal with excellent service (like in the good OL’ days). Wonderful place for my dad’s birthday dinner, complete with birthday dessert tray and a glass of Prosecco on the house! We felt special and everyone in the family kept saying how wonderful this restaurant is! Many thanks for a wonderful celebration. My only criticism/suggestion is to have environmentally-friendly to-go boxes (like cardboard).

   Venice is a wonderful restaurant, and the staff is incredibly attentive. The prices are a little high, but the food is good. It's very noisy, however. My waiter and I had a difficult time hearing each other and it was also hard to carry on a conversation at our table of four. I would recommend Venice. A good time to go might be before or after the dinner rush for a quieter evening of dining.

   This is a lovely place but we happened to be there during a busy time, and it seemed a bit understaffed as we there were many, many lulls in our meal in which we were waiting for water, drinks, the check, etc.

    My wife and adult daughter share a birthday, which we celebrated at Venice. The melanzana (eggplant) appetizer was a bit underwhelming, but our entrees were splendid. In particular, the wild boar ragu, which you don't see much in the US, was outstanding. Service was brisk and congenial. Despite having reservations in the bar, the hostess was able to seat us us in the dining room. All in all, highly recommended!

    As usual restaurant Venice does not disappoint. Received a warm welcome from Nunzio and felt right at home. Menu is varied and the food was terrific. Glad there is also a Venice restaurant out in Greenwood Village as that is close to our home. Go without hesitation.

    This restaurant has great food, and our crowd (of 8) have eaten there a few times. The food is always excellent, and usually the service is too. Last night our experience was terrible. We ordered a couple of cocktails, a bottle of wine, and appetizers. The appetizers came before the wine, then we didn't even get the cocktails until the appetizer was almost finished...and we had to ask the waiter for them; he didn't even notice that they hadn't been served. THEN, the dinners arrived before staff cleared our appetizer and bread plates, so it was a major scramble to find places to pile up dishes and trays in order to fit our dinner plates on the table. It was ridiculous.

    Made a reservation on Open Table for 7 waited in the lobby for 20 minutes to be placed at a seat by the outside door between two large loud parties. Horrible seat that was available when we walked in but they eventually just put us there after 25 minutes because nothing else became available, despite our reservation on the app. Servers could barely get through the tables, the door opened and closed all night, cold and loud! Not a fan of this app based on the seating situation. Not a great experience

    What a great restaurant downtown. I found Venice R. On Google Maps when the restaurants my friend recommended were full. The ratings were good and the restaurant was a complete 5 Star experience. The staff was welcoming, not too loud and had a great evening with a girlfriend. Matt, our server was AMAZING! The food made me want to come back and try a dozen other meals. Definitely want to come back on a date night with my husband or anyone visiting. Thank you.

    We had an amazing dining experience. The food was incredible. Our server was fantastic, she was very familiar with the menu and made some excellent reccomendations. The manager on duty stopped by our table on a few occasions and was very personable and entertaining. This was not my first time here and it will not be my last.

    Venice is our favorite restaurant for visiting family members! We started with exquisite Tuscan wine and the perfect martini. The appetizer was the veal meatballs covered with gorgonzola and parmesan cheese in spicy Arrabiata sauce -- so delicious! Entrees included Scampi Pomodoro E Menta: linguine tossed with jumbo prawns, cherry tomatoes, mint, and chardonnay wine sauce -- my favorite. My husband chose Ravioli Salsiccia E Porcini: Homemade ravioli filled with spicy Italian sausage, ricotta, porcini mushrooms, parmesan, served in a porcini mushroom and wine sauce including tomatoes and sausage. My husband's daughter chose her favorite Rigatoni Pollo e Funghi; the sauce is divine. My visiting sister chose the Linguine con Frutti di Mare -- such a variety of delicious seafood! For dessert, we enjoyed the beautifully presented Canollis. Venice always provides warm, welcoming service in an elegant setting. It's simply the best!

    The food was good however my tortellini di zucca was a touch bland and my date’s risotto was undercooked. It is also extremely loud which makes conversation very difficult. I would recommend and Olán to go again though.

    Overall we enjoyed things, but we had a relatively bad experience. We were sat for our 8:00 reservation around 8:50, and this was only after asking the host for an update and the host realized I was no longer on the list. The host did not even acknowledge the delay, any mistakes, etc. but merely said “I got you”. We then we’re quickly sat at a makeshift table that was clearly pulled from a larger table—our table was pushed against cabinets in the server side of the room, so everything was very awkward and our table was crooked throughout as the edges were against cabinet handles. Food, wine, and our server Sean were all great. But overall it was disappointing as the Manager never came to our table to acknowledge things, even after making direct eye contact with him 5 feet away from our table as he comped an upgraded wine bottle for the large party next to us. He would clearly know we were out of place—other servers had funny looks throughout as they were surprised to see a table where we were placed. To take it a step further, the Manager was offering free Prosecco glasses to another waiting party in the lobby who had been there for 5-10 minutes, but did not even look at us. What’s the point of a reservation if we still have to wait 50 minutes to be sat? We received entrees almost 2 hours from our original reservation time and this we were out much later than anticipated. This was disappointing for a Friday night at a restaurant we were excited to try, so we will be eating elsewhere before considering coming back.
