Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Love the feel inside this restaurant! Light music playing, everything is clean with Italy decor. The tv’s even have Italy views showing. The staff are wonderful! So pleasant and smiling! Food was so good! There is a lunch menu! We did ask for the menu as they had the dinner menus on the table. We ordered the breadsticks which came with 4 and marinara. These breadsticks are the best! Crispy outsides and soft insides! I didn’t know but we got 4 garlic knots with our 2 meals. These were tasty too! I got the baked Ziti and my husband got the Trio. We each added a meatball and sausage for $2 each. Everything was great! Definitely will be coming here more often."
"Came in here for dinner after a suggestion from Google's AI when i asked for highly rated places to eat. Was not disappointed. This place is not fancy, but the food was really good and our waiter was was super friendly. We had lasagna, spaghetti & meatballs and the pasta trio. All were tasty and the portions were huge! The garlic knots were great! Highly recommend the house made Italian dressing - it was reminiscent of the dressing at Dominic's years ago. We'll definitely be back."
"We had a reservation for 12 and they were all set for us. We actually ended up bringing 14 and they couldn’t have been nicer! They quickly accommodated us. It was my birthday and I’m 100% Italian. It was my first trip to Venecia and I can’t wait to return. We ALL loved the food. I had the chicken Marsala and it was fantastic! The garlic knots are incredibly good. I loved everything about this place! It’s simple decor and it’s delightful waitress and waiters. We’ll definitely be back!"
"My husband & me have our new ‘go to’ Italian restaurant. We tried it a couple months ago for the first time & went back again before this deep freeze. Looking forward to going again! Their food is delicious, large portions, and reasonable prices compared to other Italian restaurants. The staff is super nice, we didn’t have a wait & our food came out hot! If you haven’t tried this restaurant, I highly recommend you go!"
"Best pasta I’ve ever had. The waiter was lovely and overall great service. Will definitely be returning. The alfredo was very thick and creamy, yet packed full of flavor. The chicken was great quality and the garlic knots were delicious."
"Excellent authentic food! All the workers have an accent - which just attributes more to it's authenticity! The portions are very hefty. I've never seen a bigger calzone in my life. Prices are super reasonable, including pricing for kids meals. Love the atmosphere. It's cozy and peaceful. Love the ambient lighting & the soft Italian music in the background. I went on a Saturday evening, and there was no wait. Awesome thing too is that none of the patrons were on there phones (except a couple kids). People were talking to each other! Definitely a "hole in the wall" restaurant very worthy of checking out. Highly recommend."
"Bring your appetite, Amazon good! This was a hidden gem, so happy we found our new favorite Italian restaurant!"
"My husband, daughter and myself stopped in for dinner tonight and it was great. We got the shrimp linguine, Pasta trio & spaghetti and meatballs for our daughter (Her favorite) Also, the garlic cheese bread did not disappoint! All three dishes came out amazing, fresh and HOT . Our server (I’m so sorry I’m terrible with names) a young man with an accent was awesome and made sure everything was good the entire time we were there. We will be back again! 10000 percent recommend."
