The food is amazing the atmosphere it's beautiful. I'm not a big fan of Italian food. This restaurant has changed my mind. The food is delicious. I had the ribeye, medium rare. It was savory and tender. My son had the lasagna. It was so amazing that he ate the huge piece in it's entirety. For appetizers we had eggplant sticks and garlic bread. Both were freshly made, not frozen, and scrumptious.

No one greeted us upon entry and there was a since of "what are they doing here" from the patrons eating there with the stares we received. Nevertheless we found seating at the bar and the food and wine was awesome. There was an older gentleman sitting next to us and he talked to us most of our stay. He was very nice, he said he came there often and always sits at the bar. He mentioned he had everything on the menu except the Veal Pontchartrain which is what my girlfriend was eating lol. Overall we had a good experience and we will most likely return.

The food at Venezia's never disappoints. The service was a little slow. Waited 20 minutes before we got a menu. We weren't in a hurry but we were bringing food back to someone at home. I had the Supreme with chicken. The chicken is topped with shrimp and crawfish. The dill cream sauce is to die for. You get a side of pasta and you can pick the sauce. I recommend the Alfredo because I think it would go best with the dill cream.

Summary: This place is bada$$. I tried going to the restaurant last Thursday after grad school, but the place was packed. I just assumed it was because it was a restaurant in New Orleans so, therefore, people come in regardless. After dining with them tonight, however, I realize that there is a reason so many people flock to this restaurant. The restaurant itself is an older, darker, typical Italian restaurant complete with red and white checkered tablecloths and a busy yet still atmospheric environment. The employees were all dressed well and everyone was diligently working. I decided to call in and have my name added to the waitlist so that I wouldn't miss out like I did last week. I am in school for hotel, resort, and tourism management so I understand how important customer service and hospitality is. That being said, V host I spoke with was very friendly and, for once, I actually lucked out eating alone because there was a small table near the bar available without a wait. He even approached me after my meal, address me by my name, and asked what I thought of the meal as well as the experience. That is a 100% PRO move right there. My server was absolutely incredible. I eat at restaurants multiple times daily and have a pretty good idea what good customer service skills are at this point. This gentleman not only met my expectations, but exceeded them. He said he had been working at the restaurant for 15 years and I could definitely tell. His experience and knowledge was impeccable as he recommended multiple items and even explained a little bit of background about the restaurant. I decided to order veal cannelloni, which was one of his recommendations. It absolutely did not disappoint. The way he described it was perfect when he said that it was, "a smaller portion compared to other items on the menu, but still very rich and filling." I can say without a doubt that it was the best veal I've ever eaten and this certainly isn't my first time having a dish like that. I forgot to order garlic bread when my entree came out and he was able to round some up for me in no time. I'm really big on customer service and having a high-functioning waitstaff; these folks are absolutely killing it by being prompt, polite, and efficient. The menu prices are surprisingly affordable considering the high quality food and service that you receive. I definitely found myself leaving more than a 20% standard tip. This restaurant is perfect for any occasion whether it is eating alone, bringing a date, or even for a birthday celebration like someone was having tonight in the back. If you're in New Orleans and looking for some quality authentic Italian, then I highly recommend Venezia.

We’ve dined here routinely (not weekly but routinely) since 1981. Now that we are In our retirement years and on a fixed income along with recent inflationary increases, our “Venezia Fix” is beginning to now coming to an end. Tonight (and after asking our waiter about it), we find a non-cash charge is being added to the tab. Had we known beforehand (even ordering), we either would have picked another restaurant, our done one drink round less. In the future, we will now be asking when making reservations anywhere, if other restaurants are doing the same. Cash May we’ll be the only way to beat restaurants doing “pass throughs” rather than accepting credit cards as a part of doing business. Be warned. Venezia did not display this change in doing business. One doesn’t find out until the bill has dropped. CHECK YOUR BILL AND COMPLAIN AS WE DID! In the past this would have been a 5 star review. Not tonight. The pleasure of dining out has left a bad taste in our mouths. This local isn’t as bullish on this local business and when the family comes in town in the future, there will be other local favorites we’ll now be supporting.

The food was amazing and so was the service. We had the ribeye, cannelloni and calamari and it was all excellent. We will be back next with our friends next week.
