We are first time yelpers and we are being generous with two stars. We were fair there is my partner and I she will be adding things in Spanish. What we did is review our individual dishes,sides,drinks ambiance and service, we got 2 starts because drinks are over priced and food is just okay. Ambiance is great service could be better but hate to say we will not be returning. Es la primera vez que visitamos este lugar. Para ser un restaurante Los platillos que elegimos estuvieron Bien pero ningun sabor diferente a los demas lugares de comida rapida. Ofrecen una amplia varidad de cockteleria, pero su costo es elevado para la calidad . Ofrecen buen ambiente y su servicio puede mejorar. read more

On August 7th, our party of 4 fined in for a birthday celebration. Our server was Emma, who shared the chef's specials and the bass plate was exceptional in its taste and favor. The appetizer of cheese garlic bread was perfect with the marinara sauce. Definitely a place to visit if you want to have a spectacular meal with great customer service experience. read more

We were sat at a table. There's not much space in between each table so it feels like you are sitting on top of each other. The booths and the table/booths lining the perimeter looked more spacious and had good spacing in between them. Noise level fluctuates between not being able to hear my husband while we chatted to one or two conversations surrounding us. Ordered lemoncello and the eggplant parmesan with half marinara and half alfredo. The portion was very good, but I felt the amount of sauce was less. I didn't have enough sauce for every bite I had. Husband had sweet tea and veal parmesan and he enjoyed it a lot. Service was good, but a bit slow. She told us we would get bread, but it was served after the main course arrived. She refilled my water, but didn't refill his sweet tea until the check was ready. read more

Delicious dinner at Venezia Tratorria! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal including stuffed mushrooms, a salad, and pasta dishes. Our waitress was very kind and attentive, the restaurant is beautifully decorated and feels very on theme. Our one note would be the young bartender who spent a lot of her time and our meal time complaining to her coworkers behind the bar and in the office near the bar which was located very close to our table. This was a bit distracting, but does not affect our rating, just a note for management! Highly recommend stopping in for yourself! read more

You have to try the lasagna! Omg, it was so good! I grew up near an italian section of Chicago, and I know italian food very well. This place, here in Texas of all places, does it right! I was shocked but happy to know I have a new spot to go to for authentic Italian cuisine. Great experience, service was professional and friendly. Topped it off with a nice glass of wine, what a time yesterday. Excellent! read more

It was wonderful - delicious & fork tender meat, well-seasoned. Really well-thought out wine menu. Service was impeccable. Salads & bread were also delicious. You have to try this place out! Just as good as East Coast Italian restaurants. read more

We were headed out this direction and really wanted Italian food, so we took to Yelp and found Venezia -- and it did not disappoint! Prices are very reasonable, portions are large, and the staff is friendly and accommodating. Drinks were a little on the pricey side, so I passed this time, but I hope to come back during happy hour to try them. The restaurant has plenty of seating and a nice, casual yet chic atmosphere. Add it to the love list read more

So nice to have a finer dining option besides the Downtown area- great job to the team who put such care into this beautiful transformation of this location. We had a large group and they were accommodating. They have a large wine selection and nice cocktails. The meals were wonderful! Our group ordered a variety and were all very happy with our food. There are no plant based options. And the cheese forward vegetarian plates are a little heavy. I went with the Vodka Tortellini eating a bit of the chicken but focusing on the tortellini and sauce- delicious! My plate was way too big so I took home a hefty leftover portion. Also, highly recommend the broccoli yum. They serve bread before the meal and it was good. Our table ordered key lime pie dessert and we ooohhheed so much over dessert! Kind and patient staff round out a great experience. Pro tip: split a plate. They are seriously way too big. read more

We've been meaning to try this place for awhile, looking for the perfect Mom-and-Pop Italian restaurant in the area and Venezia Trattoria did not disappoint! The decor is very tasteful- almost can't believe the place is a refurbished Steak-and-Shake! Promptly greeted and seated, by a very personable server. The Bruschetta was light and tasty. We tried the Veal Parm and the.Tortellini Vodka and both were great looking and great tasting, in ample servings. We finished dinner with a slice of house-made amoretto cheesecake! All in all, a wonderful dining experience. We'll be back soon! read more

Delicious and friendly Found Venezia for Happy Hour and can't stop going for the smiling faces and some of the best Marsala I've ever had. Tuesday through Friday from 3-6 pop in for a glass of The Prisoner for $14, an order of the Baked Meatballs (2) $5, and the crab Stuffed Mushrooms (3) $7. Maybe 2 more glasses of wine. You'll find me sitting at the bar most places I visit so I can get to know the staff and their patrons. Allison is fantastic and the charming Tony will ensure you're attended to. The atmosphere is casual but you'll see and feel the subtle attention to details. It's relaxed with upscale Italian and wonderful staff. While I may not be "local" this has already become too of my Happy Hour list. Grazie mille! read more

First time coming here today. Very pleased with the whole experience! Service, setting and food! Chicken piccata and lasagna lunch specials were excellent. Perfect size portions.

Last night our family finished up an art activity in downtown McKinney. We were starving afterwards and I didn't think to make reservations on a Saturday night. We went to a few spots in downtown and there was an hour plus wait at 7:15pm everywhere. So I googled spots near by and this place popped up and we were semi close. I'm not going to lie my husband and I didn't have high expectations of this place; but we were grateful that they had tables available. We were instantly greeted upon arrival; the place was busy, we were sat within seconds. Our waitress was very sweet, juggling several tables, and doing a great job. They have a nice selection on the menu; we started out with the stuffed mushrooms and the baked meatballs. The mushrooms were really tasty, the meatballs were decent. We ordered the tortellini soup, it was good. My husband's dish was the best, he got the vodka tortellini; the pink sauce was really great. I got the chicken piccata and the kids got the lasagna and the cheese ravioli with alfredo. Everything came out rather quickly. Portions were good. And no one complained about the food taste wise. All in all it was a great experience. read more

Definitely try the Piccata or Marsala with your choice of protein. Lunch portions are amazing and come with a salad! Service is impeccable. Keep up the EXCELLENT work! read more

Arrived at lunch time and was surprised at how loud it was on a weekday. However, the experience over-weighed and was very pleased with the service and food. My husband ordered the Lazagna, which was a huge proportion, and I ordered spaghetti with meat sauce. So delicious! They include crispy salads served in chilled bowls and warm bread is generously served throughout the meal. Can't wait to bring my GF to check it out! read more

What a beautiful restaurant! The ambiance is chill, casual, but also very fancy feeling. we went for a chill lunch but I could see a beautiful date night there. The service was great. All the servers, the host and even the bar tender made sure our waters were full and we were satisfied. Now for the FOOD! They have gluten free pasta AND pizza!!! I am in heaven! The white pizza is amazing!!!!! I am so full after the side salad and HALF the lunch pizza. Can't wait for dinner leftovers! read more

Amazing food, great service and comfortable ambiance. Our party had a little bit of everything from pizza to pasta to salad and desserts! Everything was wonderful!! Highly recommend! read more

This place has quickly turned into a work day favorite. Everyone I've taken there has liked it. Everything we've had there has been delicious. My favorite so far is the lasagna. It is on the cheesier side but so, so good. I love that their lasagna and meatballs are made from beef. Most places use a beef and pork mix that we can't have because we don't eat pork. Their bread is good and they bring out already softened butter so you're not tearing the bread while you're trying to spread the butter. The chicken dish I had was delicious and moist. The service is next level. Every staff member we've encountered has been so good. They're all friendly, professional, and respectful. The ambiance is welcoming. I love what they did wit the bar area and the ceiling. They definitely catch your eye. They have great lunch specials that fill you up and are very well priced. It's a local, family owned business so definitely do check it out and support. read more

Love this place! Great food, great service! I would highly recommend! Try the lasagna with a nice glass of Prisoner!

Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo had absolutely no taste to it at all and the Tortellini with vodka sauce wasn't much better.

Food is always good as is the service. The host staff as well as servers are very professional and welcoming. Love that the owner makes the rounds and he is very friendly as well. One of our favorite places. read more

Tonight was our second time at Venezia Trattoria. The food was okay but the service was slow and our waitress made a comment when the servers arrived with our food that assured tonight is the last time I will ever come to this restaurant. Our waitress told the servers that the lasagna goes to the guy who looks like he ordered lasagna. What does that even mean? The owner did come by early in our meal to make sure everything was all right and maybe she didn't mean anything by her statement but it crossed the line for me. read more

By way of location...Venezia is very close to Trader Joe's and across the street from Dutch Bros. Tonight we dined at Venezia and everyone was so friendly and smiling, you can tell they hire nice people to work here and that they love their jobs. Favorites tonight were the Tortellini Vodka, Manicotti, and Chicken Parm. Normally one might see one hostess and then the waitstaff but here I bet we interacted with 10 people. Even when we were leaving all three of the hostesses were gracious and thanking us for coming in. Definitely coming back here soon!! read more

Service was outstanding! Our server came by the table multiple times to ensure our food came out well, and was on the ball with remember condiments and specific substitutions and additions we had requested. The atmosphere was great, playing true Italian hits, beautiful decor, and the perfect noise level to enjoy without struggling to hear your guests. Food was equally as amazing. We had an array of different entrees and appetizers. The highlight for me was the Veal and Tortellini Vodka. Both dishes were a step above if comparing to local competition. Desserts were good, but not anything I'd rave about. I felt the creme brûlée had too much sugar on the top for my liking. Overall, the experience we had here was amazing and this initial visit will definitely have us returning very soon. Thank you for a great night! read more

Last Wednesday we went to Venezia Trattoria for the 3rd time and I'm not sure if we will go back again or not. The first two times were excellent in every way - the wait staff was attentive, cordial, and appropriate for the price point of the food. The food on both prior visits was exceptional - my spouse and child both had the Fettuccini Alfredo with chicken (both visits - they loved it so much the first time the wanted it again) while I chose the Chef's Special both times. The pasta, sauce, and protein all tasted as though they were made fresh with quality ingredients by a trained chef. This recent visit was vastly different: the service was the same, but the food tasted as though the owners had decided to severely cut costs by swapping out all of the house-made items with frozen or pre-packaged slop. Olive Garden tastes better than what we got this time. And when we asked for some parmesan cheese, we were brought one of those little round shakers of store-bought white sawdust that pizza parlors keep on their tables. read more

We went in January for my mom's birthday and the owner and staff were amazing. The following month I made reservations to celebrate my birthday with my girlfriends and the atmosphere was completely different. Nothing special and the service was average. I'm not sure what happened...so sad. read more

I love that they have tinted windows and it's not glaring bright inside. My only complaint about my visit is the chairs are a little uncomfortable. The food and service were excellent. We had some tap beer, mozz sticks, and the fettuccini alfredo with chicken. They came with salad and the plates were chilled and it was a nice way to start the meal. The mozz sticks weren't special, but the alfredo was made with love and was very creamy and delicate. The noodles didn't look hand made but they weren't bad and were better than what you get at olive garden. The chicken was also cooked well and not too dry. Their lemoncello cake is also great. I look forward to going back. There was no wait to get in and we were served immediately. read more

Service is very friendly and attentive. Lunch menu is available on the weekend. Ambience is nice. Chicken piccata and chicken Marsala are both really good. Chicken is tender. Escargot is just okay. Sauce is way too lemon heavy. Will definitely return and highly recommend. read more

My husband and I went Saturday night for a nice Italian dinner. The service was terrific, our waitress was very attentive and personable. We were seated right away at a nice table I loved that it was quiet enough that you could have a conversation and hear each other. I hate it when a restaurant is so loud that you can't hear yourself think. I ordered the chicken Jerusalem and my husband got the veal parm. Both were delicious and we had leftovers to take home. After dinner we were talking with our waitress, she asked if we wanted dessert. We were so full that we said no, she said her mother makes all of the different crème brûlée desserts. It's is our weakness, so we shared. It was definitely worth every bite. We'll be back soon. read more

Have only tried their supreme pizza so far and the crust is one of the best - quality ingredients that puts American pizza brands to shame!

This is a hidden gem! The service had quick refills and great recommendations. I had the Tortellini Michael Angelo, and my husband had the Eggplant Parm. Both dishes were amazing. We sat at a booth so the ambiance of the restaurant was quiet and calm. We skipped appetizers so we could have dessert. Off-menu they offered espresso crème brûlée. Man it was awesome! The food was top notch! read more

We have been there three times and every time the food was very good. The service was great and the servers were friendly.

They were open when most were closed on Christmas Eve. So, we really appreciated that. Service was great even though they were starting to close up. Sauces were quite thick. Maybe because it was the end of the day? Decor is very nice. Definitely worth a second visit. read more

Terrible customer service. Owner was very rude to all of us. Our company will never come to this place. We now know why the place was pretty empty. We Do not recommend this place at all. read more
