Great food great atmosphere I highly recommend the steak to drink a Shirley temple but you can't go wrong with the deviled eggs neither

The food, wait staff and ambiance was simply amazing. Did I mention the great food! I loved every minute of it.

Venice is a nice Italian restaurant. I don't believe the sauces are especially unique, but if you're looking for good quality and consistency, Venice is a great place. read more

By far, one of my favorite places to eat. Once you go, you'll want to return within the same week (I've did this on multiple occasions ). I hate to have a bad meal. This time I had the Crabby Crawdaddy Pizza (which I get almost every time) and it is consistently perfect!!!! My friend had the Chicken Parmesan. And the bar, read more

Food is always good and I love the atmosphere. I had great service and good drinks. Would recommend every time

The food and atmosphere was great but the service needs a lot of work. The waiters were young and inexperienced and we could hear them talking and cursing behind the curtain. No one there to reprimand them. This place is too good to have service like that. read more

Food quality has diminished greatly and there is NO customer service. I've been patronizing this restaurant for years and have never had anything negative to say, but I recently received the worst meal I could've asked for. I placed my order on UberEats for the Creole Pasta, Crawfish Eggrolls, and Spinach Dip. The special instructions for the Creole Pasta were ignored, I asked for penne pasta, but received fettuccine noodles instead. Nothing I ordered was cooked thoroughly. The sausage and shrimp in the pasta dish were not cooked, maybe just heated. There was barely any sauce in the pasta. It seemed like none of the ingredients were cooked together, but just thrown quickly together to create a dish. The noodles weren't even cooked thoroughly. The crawfish eggrolls were not even browned on the outside, nor were they crispy. I had to recook them in my airfryer to make them edible. The spinach dip was good enough, but came with very few chips because of the way the restaurant chose to package the to-go order. I normally don't complain, but I think it's ridiculous to pay so much for food for NONE of it to seem to be cooked thoroughly. My meal was delivered super fast, seemed rushed through to me. I contacted UberEats, they didn't seem to care since I received my order. I contacted the restaurant and spoke to a server who did confirm that they were indeed very busy. I explained the situation and my issue was passed along to the manager to call back. I waited for over and hour then called back. I got the same server, he explained that they were still very busy. He indicated that the manager was not calling back and said there was nothing that could've been done since the orde was placed through UberEats. I'm not convinced this is the case since I still hadn't eaten ANY of my food at the time of my phone call. I'm grossly disappointed at the quality of the food that Venice Kitchen chose to send out of their establishment. The lack of customer service and concern demonstrates how much they care about the people patronizing the business. Busy is not an excuse for pumping out thrown together dishes. How about if the volume picks up too much, just turn OFF UberEats for the evening and focus on in-store business? That sounds reasonable instead of rushing out food to the people ordering from delivery services. I'm not sure if this place us under new management, but something had changed for the worst. I would've felt better if someone had at least tried to resolve my issue by calling back. I received no acknowledgement at all. I won't be dining in or ordering anything in the future. read more

This was my first time at Venice Kitchen and I went there to meet a friend and colleague. Addie was our server and she was great!!! Very attentive, polite, got the order right, checked on us at the right time, and made sure we had everything we needed! Thank you Addie!! We started our meal with an order of the spinach & artichoke dip which is served with bread . . . It was very very good. I ordered a glass of red wine and my friend ordered a lemon drop martini. Cheers!! We enjoyed the atmosphere and talked, caught up, and laughed! For our entree we ordered the grilled salmon with potatoes and mango avocado salsa . . . It was soooo good . . . It's one of those dishes that you just keep ordering when you go back, because it is that good!! As the night progressed a table got pretty loud, and Addie as well as the manager apologized. The manager asked the table to quiet it down . . . I truly liked the way the manager and staff handled it. Thank you so much!! I enjoyed my evening and will be back. I recommend Venice Kitchen!! read more

We are a family of 5 and came in early on a Friday night- 5:10 pm. The bar was relatively full but the restaurant only had a few tables filled. We were told that we had to cram in a 4 top because even though they had a larger table for 8, we didn't have enough people to sit at that table. So we have to cram 5 meals, 5 people at a 4 person table because you want to wait for a bigger table? How about pull some tables together? When we left, they had just sat the 8 top table, so it sat empty the entire time we were there. I love this place- but honestly we probably won't be back. read more

The service was fantastic and the food came out in time. It was delicious and we enjoyed our time. This is such a cute spot in the area.

The crawfish rolls were AMAZING!! The bartender drinks were perfect, I hate I cant remember her name but it was during lunch hours. Sophisticated yet relaxing vibe. I would definitely come back to sit at the bar and eat appetizers or recommend for a business lunch or dinner. Other diners close by had salads and they looked nice sized so that's another option... the mighty meaty pizza was delicious, I ate half the individual pizza then and had enough left over for that evening. read more

We were in town for a graduation and received a recommendation to eat here. Let's just say it did not disappoint! Absolutely delicious in addition to great service. The Crawfish Rolls were loved by our table mates. The ambiance is upscale casual. The Pasta Maria was definitely a favorite but the Chicken Parm was also amazing. If you're in the area we highly recommend checking it out! read more

I went here for the very first time one Saturday evening. It was not very busy but the atmosphere was inviting. It didn't have a fancy feel so you could dress up or down. I ordered the Creole Delight. I loved it. My friend had a cobb salad and said it was also very good. Our server was very helpful and attentive. read more

Venice Kitchen - Shell-A-Brate Spinach - Pizza Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

One of my favorite restaurants, & they never disappoint. I typically order the Great White, but I opted for the Margherita with added shrimp. I also had the spinach & artichoke dip which was delectable. My pizza was fresh, with the perfect amount of mozzarella cheese making the best cheese pull. My waitress was attentive, and food was served quickly. Highly recommend this place for a quiet solo date or small group gathering. read more

While in town, I went to Venice Kitchen with my parents for lunch. It has an adorable inside set up that feels like it would be great for an intimate dinner date. For lunch, it was just us and one other table so it was nice and quiet and our waitress was readily available for anything we might need. I guess it is a little more of a high scale restaurant because we all felt that the pricing was a little high for a lunch setting. My mom wanted to order a drink, but it more expensive than the food would be which was a bit much for just lunch. We were there on a Friday, so I decided to take advantage of their special for the day and got the Bacon Cheeseburger pizza. It was unlike any pizza I have ever eaten before, but in a good way. It tasted just like a cheeseburger! read more

So in love with this plate. It was plated so well. The crawfish sauce on top was just mouthwatering. So creamy and smooth and just complimented the other sides on the plate. Now one thing that may bother some people is how the steak may come out. I ordered my steak to be medium well and it came out at medium rare. BUT it also does say next to it in parentheses that they are unsure if anything above a medium well will be able to be cooked. I personally did enjoy it A LOT. The service was good, the setting itself. 10/10 read more

Venice Kitchen - Frenchman St. Filet - Pizza Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I decided after a long hiatus from Old Venice, I would make a visit today.  I didn't realize that it had a makeover becoming "Venice Kitchen".  I have to say that the overall experience was an upgrade from my visits made at least two years ago.    AMBIANCE: You expect to see the same place that you avoided before... but you walk in to a transformation.  The décor is a bit more modern and clean now.  The wood accents are still there, but painted in white.  The paintings are no longer all along the walls, instead, there are mirrors in the biggest canvas of the restaurant and the rest is left bare. They have new lighting fixtures which are very nice and clean like the rest of the décor.  It just feels a lot more open than it used to.  Major improvement. FOOD: I looked over the menu and there were really nice additions made to the menu.  One of my favorites, the Crawfish Rolls, were delicious.  The rolls weren't heavy with the breading and the filling was amazing.  I thought that I would be missing out on the mozzarella sticks just ordering the rolls.  I was proven wrong.  The filling give you a sense of cheese in the sauce and the dipping sauce that they have as the pairing is very nice.  I decided to be healthy today and order the salad as my main course and it was amazing.  The avocado was just right !  I tried the champagne vinaigrette.  I rather use the balsamic since the champagne was just a little bit bitter with lack of sweetness to it.  I did have one take away.  The bruschetta... they changed the bruschetta.  Before, you would have at least four slices of thinly sliced toasted bread with diced tomato, goat cheese, with a nicely mixed balsamic that was rich and dark.  It was amazing.  Well, ordered their new "Salmon bruschetta".  It was two very thick slices of bread with shredded chunks of salmon on top with what appeared to be an aioli cream sauce on top with capers.  I wasn't really happy with this update.  I took one bite and immediately felt like I was eating an open-faced salmon sandwich.   It was not nearly what I expected.  The toast was very soft, as you'd expect since it is so thick.  I think that "sandwich" should be somewhere in the description for this item so that people know clearly, what they are in for. STAFF: You walk in seeing a staff in their uniform all black and the first person at the door is full of energy, ready to seat you.  Once seated, Samantha was our waitress.  You could tell that she was new but she is so polite.  Of course, it was heart wrenching to tell her that we didn't want the bruschetta but she took it well.  The manager, on the other hand, may not have been so thrilled.  He decided to come out and ask us what was wrong with the item and I explained it calmly.  Of course, giving bad news isn't going to be accepted with a smile and cheer.  He did everything he could, seeing if my friend who ordered the item would like to swap it out for something else (mind you this is a 12 dollar appetizer).  I think by how the conversation made her feel uncomfortable, she decided that she rather just take a discount off her ticket for the item. Didn't want to chance that someone may be unhappy in the kitchen over the send back. As great as the food was, the encounter made me a little uncomfortable with coming back myself. The way he came out from the back, you'd think I was being a...rude customer (can't use curse words) smh.    Now the spinach dip never disappoints but unfortunately I decided not to try any pizza. If I do decide to go back anytime soon... the crawfish rolls will definitely be my go to hands down. I'll keep you posted read more

I usually order to-go, but the food is really good. The Chicken Parmigiana is spectacular in my opinion. It's a bit pricey when you add a side salad, but the quality is there for sure. Restaurant does give off good vibes though. One day, we'll actually dine in; hopefully, in the near future. read more

My! My! My... I was visiting from California (Los Angeles) and came here for Sunday Brunch, what amazing food! The service was amazing and the food was even better. I had the shrimp with grits, they accommodated my request to have the shrimp on the side with no problem. I love seafood but have to change up my diet a lil and with the shrimp removed from my meal I was hoping to not be disappointed and baby, I was not. The grits were creamy, smooth no lumps and the gravy and fresh veggies were a great compliment to the dish. Completely delicious!!! Forgot to take a picture because I just couldn't stop eating. The lemon drop drink was great too!!! Eat here! read more

On December 15, around 6:50 pm, this exchange happened. I ordered my usual entree, the Frenchmen St. Filet. Every time I have ordered this in the past, the sauce always smothered my plate, which I love. Knowing this and knowing how much I enjoy the sauce, I asked for extra sauce on the side. When my to-go order came out, there was a minimal amount of sauce on my filet. The hostess stated that I would be charged for the extra sauce-- this confused me because they didn't even provide the usual amount of sauce I've ALWAYS received with my order. I asked to speak with the manager, and the manager came out immediately defensive. I showed him my plate and stated that this isn't even the standard amount of sauce that comes on it. He went back and forth with me on this. He even said they scaled back on the sauce for a more portioned meal. If I was informed beforehand (perhaps when I was placing my order), I could have decided to continue with my order as is, agree to the extra charge for added sauce, or not place the order at all. I was not informed of this change until I was told I'd be charged for more sauce. I ultimately requested my money back for my entree and said I would keep the other entree ordered for my friend. The manager was disrespectful and started bringing up all the starving people globally and why I was wrong for returning my entree. He even took it a step further to the point where he said, "well, if you return one entree, you'll need to return the other entree too." I did without hesitation! This manager acted like he was punishing me, when in fact, he lost a long time customer, who plans to spread this message across all my networks. I will never patronize Venice Kitchen. The customer service was HORRIBLE, and the lack of transparency blindsided me and turned an already stressful evening worse. read more

We love the food! It is consistent and great quality. I only wish that they would do away with their happy hour. It makes it impossible to get a seat at the bar at a reasonable dinner time and it gets unbearably loud as well as overcrowded. We hope that this would change, as the restaurant is busy enough without offering a happy hour. Thank you! read more

This place was absolutely amazing can't wait to come back. The drinks are incredible the service is fantastic.

We'll be back! read more

Overall great experience here. The parking lot is typically congested and the location is a little weird getting in and out of but once you're inside everything is comfortable. I like this place because they have a good variety of options for vegetarians, but the vibe isn't stuffy. It's delicious options for everyone. If you don't get the spinach dip and bread, you've seriously missed out. I ordered the veggie pesto pizza on cauliflower crust. Don't underestimate the cauliflower crust, they do a great job ensuring its crispy. I also enjoyed the veggie Buffalo wings. They did not disappoint! My party shared the brownie dessert. It was just ok. The brownie was kind of crispy but it satisfied my sweet tooth. The service overall was good. The servers were polite and to be honest we overstayed our welcome so they handled that well. I also had a lemon drop martini. Great lunch/dinner place and it's kid friendly. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while. The food was good. We started with the deviled eggs. My daughter had the Pasta Maria, and I had Creole Delight. The eggs were good, nothing to rave about but good. I really enjoyed my pasta. It had a nice mix of flavors. My daughter enjoyed her food as well. Service was good. The server had good timing for checking up on us. As others mentioned, the ambiance is comfortable. I had a Stella with my food. D had water. Total bill was $51. We will come back. read more
