So we just walked in, and the host was kind enough to let us sit at the little bar area near the window. I like their ordering system. You have many options --- go up to the cash register and order there, order from the server who comes by your table (or in our case, bar), or use your phone by scanning the QR code. And if you use your phone, each person in your party can do it themselves on their own phone. Regardless, it all gets added to the same order for the same table. Pretty slick. At the end, when it comes time to pay, the app lets you split the check however you want, and you can even see the name of the person that ordered each item. The food was incredible. It's not cheap, and the portions are a little smaller than some might expect at an Italian restaurant. But for us, it was filling enough. I personally had the raviolo, which was delicious. Little did I know that in Italian, "raviolo" is singular while "ravioli" is plural. So I got one giant raviolo on my plate (see picture). I didn't care much for the runny egg yolk on top, but it was as advertised on the menu. All the other food orders were amazing, especially the desserts. I'd definitely come back once my food budget resets.

On our first visit, we tried the pizza, calamari, and mozzarella sticks, and everything was fresh, delicious, and perfectly prepared. When we returned with friends, I had the meat lasagna, a salad with Italian dressing, and the calamari again. The lasagna was outstanding--rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The menu is extensive, with plenty of choices for everyone, and the quality of the food truly stands out. Venecia made my retirement celebration even more special with amazing food and a wonderful dining experience. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Venecia Italian Restaurant!

100th REVIEW And what better way to celebrate this Yelp…read moremilestone than at an Italian restaurant? As someone with family from New York and New Jersey, I take Italian food very seriously. I am always suspicious of the authenticity Italian restaurants in the Midwest, especially when some places by me claim that Ragu is their "house recipe." However, I was pleasantly surprised by Tony's in Dayton! As soon as I saw the statue of a chef and plastic grapes in the entryway, I knew Tony's was the real deal. I came with a group of 10, and the waiters were able to accommodate us into one large table in the back of the dining room. The dining room itself is decorated like a charming alleyway in the streets of Rome, with some decorations looking straight out of Nonna's kitchen. We were served drinks right when we sat down, and I noticed on the menu that there was an impressive selection of IPAs and wine. Our waiter was kind enough to bring someone in our party a "sample" of beer when he was deciding between two drinks. Of course, no Italian dinner is complete without garlic bread, and Tony's garlic cheesy bread was a hit with the whole table! I couldn't get enough of it. For dinner, I enjoyed the ravioli, which was served on a plate that was bigger than my head! The sauce was flavorful with a hint of crushed red pepper, and the ravioli themselves were thick and fluffy. I loved every bite! Unfortunately, not everyone liked their dinners as much as I did. My sister said her Alfredo sauce "tasted like nothing," and I saw from across the table that my mother's baked ziti was burnt. One thing I did appreciate about Tony's was the prices. For just $13.50, I got a full plate of ravioli, plus a side salad and garlic bread! I was very impressed with that deal.

Parking was easy along the road downtown but my app made it a bit hard to find. It shares space with le Torte Dolci bakery. I ordered the margarita sandwich (I think that's the name) on focaccia. It was delicious and didn't make a mess like others I've had elsewhere. Everything was fresh. There were several other sandwiches I would've liked to try, I may need a return trip! The pastries on display were tempting and of course I ended up with a donut for my son as well. I wish I had more time as the area is trendy with several cute shops. Again, return trip!
