    Food leave is low because we finally tried your veal parmigiana. Wow, sorry, but not a good dish, the quality of the veal was very poor. The Branzino special was great.

    My wife and I had not eaten at Venezia's for a long while and decided to go there last minute. We expected that we would enjoy the food and ambience, and that parking would be easy. As we are now elderly, each of those factors mattered. Happy, we were not disappointed on any count. We left delighted, and fully, having topped the meal off with tiramisu. Having visited Venesia over many years, we reminisced over the boat that used to be at the dock as we tried to remember if it was just for desserts and cocktails, are were our memories just fooling us. By all measures, we were pleased and will dine again soon at Venezia. Barry

    Service was good. Tartar/avacado app was great as was main of sea food medley. but the sauce on my veal porcine was watery and barely stuck to my pasta. And I think an Italian restaurant should have at least one pasta with meatballs or sausage with red sauce plate. Ambience is nice. Friendly crowd, Nice service .Spectacular view. Only negative was it was very loud. We could not bring elderly friends there and have a conversation. overall we liked it a lot and will happily return. But only with friends who have perfect hearing. thanks.

    Waiter was great. Great ambience and view Swordfish was thin and dry - overcooked Short ribs tasted nothing like expected = sweet barbecue sauce taste Dessert - molten chocolate was excellent but menu said that it came with vanilla ice cream - it was actually banana - yuck. They did comp us for that! Overall was hoping for better quality food to go with higher prices!
