    A favorite ... both for family and business occasions. Minor difficulties with language with staff but otherwise consummate sommelier and wait-staff attention and delicious alternatives across 3 courses.

    The atmosphere was nice and somewhat elegant. As one customer nearby said “granite tables and no tablecloths “ which was fine. The service was good and what you’d expect in a more upscale restaurant. My partner had lobster ravioli with shrimp in some type of lobster sauce that looked more like a tomato gravy. It was bland and I’m not sure how to describe the ravioli but I did not care for it. The lasagna was ordered. It looked very overcooked. The comment on that one was the dish was very rich. I had Frutta de Mar with linguine. It was Ok. I felt the wine was overpriced and overall although dinner was good I was a bit disappointed. It was still a nice evening out with friends from out of town .

    We originally made a reservation for my bday dinner for 11 people. There was no problem doing so the day before. Day of our number changed and also no problem. Laurie was our server and such a sweetheart. The ambiance was perfect and cozy. We ordered the calamari to share and was amazing! I got the ravioli w the Gorgonzola cream sauce!! Highly recommend and prices were great! We were celebrating 2 of our bdays and Laurie and the manager brought us each a champagne. Then later a Lemon Chelo along w an amazing desert to share. All around was such an enjoyable time!! My only advice is get rid of the Yankee candle in the bathroom! Lol. Can’t wait to go back again!!!

    What an amazing restaurant, especially for the price! I've paid way more at other restaurants and gotten worse service and worse food. We came here for my wife's birthday and Cheleena (I am so sorry if I'm spelling that wrong) went above and beyond to make sure it was a special night. The person at the front desk and the manager were also very helpful as well. As for the food, WOW. We had the charcuterie, filet mignon, and ravioli. All of the above were perfect. We did not leave any for left overs, let alone even a speck on our plate. The only thing I will say is that it was a bit loud in our section, but other than that the ambience was great and hey, who doesn't love an excuse to get closer to talk to your significant other or a date? Definitely an easy 5 stars and a STRONG recommendation from me.

    My food at Venice was excellent and my server was good, albeit a little slow at times. The main issue I had was that the prices on the menu did not match up with the prices on the bill when I paid. One of the glasses of wine I ordered was $3 more on the bill than the menu and the dessert item I had was $1 more. This wasn't a big deal since it was only a few dollars different, but I think it's unprofessional that they didn't have these marked properly on the menu. Otherwise, I'd definitely recommend Venice and the food is amazing!

    I had a reservation for 20 people but they were super they took 30 minutes longer to sit us down but we were a big party but they brought us complimentary wine for our wait time. Service was super nice ! He made sure to explain everything to us and also give us advice on wines complementing the food.

    Great location but difficult to find parking. Delicious food---some unusual options We were disappointed that we came for Denver Restaurant Week and they did not seem to have anything special for this occasion even though they were listed as a Denver Restaurant Week restaurant. The Maitre D' was hovering over the table next to ours--talking quite loudly---bringing this couple wine samples and dessert samples, and never made contact with us one time. Food was good, though,and service pleasant..

    We went before the Springsteen concert and they had some challenges. Some tech thing was down and it was crazy crowded. 20 minute wait past our reservation time, another 10-15 minutes before the waiter arrived. But once we told him we were on a tight schedule, he made sure to speed things up tho we did have to ask twice for bread - but it was delicious when it finally arrived.

    We were looking for a restaurant that would be able to handle a party of 14 on short notice and Venice was able to accommodate us. The waitress, Natalia, was awesome and was great with drinks, ordering, and in being accommodating for late arrivals. One member of our party had a birthday, and they brought out a great dessert with candles for a surprise and a happy birthday song. A great night for everyone in our party.

    Amazing dining experience. The restaurant made our anniversary so special. We had an amazing waiter, host and manager of the restaurant take the time to get to know us and make recommendations. A few of the staff also are either from Italy or speak Italian. One of the best meals we had in Denver and highly recommend anyone else looking for a special, romantic evening! Thank you again.
