Always pleasant...find the bar quieter than the big room. Pizza Pasta or salads always good. Service always amiable and respectful...

First time visit would have imagined the server being more welcoming as we'd never been. After mentioning being our first time she says oh great and leaves it at that. Well geez thanks for the warm welcome lol. Overall the food wasn't bad. The crawfish rolls were pretty good minus the bacon. Creole delight was not what I was expecting but not bad. Lacked a little in flavor for my liking but decent. Wish it were spicier less peppers. Would I return or recommend this restaurant yes! I'd try some different food as what we had wasn't my fav. read more

I frequent this place a lot! My food is usually always good! Yesterday I ordered 2 salads after contemplating on where I wanted to get fresh lettuce from!! Upon entering and telling them I had an online order, the girl at the counter was looking very confused and acting as if she didn't wanna give me my salads! OK no biggie because the service is usually good! So I didn't let it bother me as much! Upon getting home and seeing my salad, majority of the lettuce was BROWN!! So I didn't eat it at all! Wasted my money. read more

The food and service is great. But I went to get lunch here today and literally every other person that walked in reeked of weed. Normally I'm not this type of Karen but as someone who is sober and is in a 12 step program this was very triggering. The women's bathroom reeked of weed. I'm all for people doing their thing but Jesus Christ spray some perfume or hit a pen. You don't need to ruin everyone's appetite so your food tastes better. My food literally tasting of weed bc that's all you smell. Do better Venice read more

Menu was very Italian southern fusion. The salmon salad was huge. They had a variety of pizzas including different cheeses like fontina, which I loved. My husband enjoyed his pasta and the modern atmosphere. read more

This place was decent..... The Chicken Feta wasn't hot, but it was fast. Pizzas and other items ordered by the family didn't get very good reviews either. The inside was bright white and it hurt my eyes! I liked the rustic look of the "Old Venice" before renaming as Venice Kitchen - it made me feel comfortable. Service was friendly. I would give it a 3 and a half stars if I could. read more

Judge me all you want, but I don't come here for the pizza. Dare I say this? I have never had it! I am addicted to their grilled chicken cobb salad with the blush vinaigrette dressing. My love affair with this salad is at least 5 years strong. The atmosphere is open and inviting. I love sitting on patio during fall and spring weather. Need to get a little work done? Hit the bar and sit at a topper. The ONLY reason why I didn't rate this a five star is because I've never had a pizza from this establishment. I am certain that those looking at these reviews are going to want my perspective on pizza not a salad! In fairness when my friends come with me they all get pizza and love it! read more

My dad paid for a meal for six people and he didn't get his meal until me and my daughter were finished

The crawfish roll is really good. Ultimate lemon drop cocktail soooo good. Veggie wings are delicious. Just wished the cauliflower was a little smaller. We sat outside since it's fking 70 degrees on December 30. Bartender was our server and was very polite and attentive. read more

Food was great as always, friendly service, quick seating and all around enjoyable experience!

So it's the first time I came to Venice Kitchen with my family and it's a beautiful restaurant. I would definitely recommend the Italian restaurant. The food is so delicious. read more

Extremely loud, casual dining. Drinks were tasty. Service was just okay, nothing exciting. Food was good. But again, very casual. Parking is VERY limited. Outdoor seating is limited (despite their being open tables). read more

Met some coworkers for a birthday celebration on Aug 30. I was pleased with the atmosphere although the high ceilings made hearing group conversation a little more work for me. I had a glass of the fume blanc and a glass of the Riesling - both were delicious. I selected white wines since I had studied the menu beforehand and knew I wanted the buffalo chicken sandwich. I don't get out much these days and I was craving hot chicken something fierce. It was a perfect match (me and the chicken ... as well as the chicken and wine). Will be back. Told my husband about it.. maybe a date in my future. read more

Always a great place to either dine in, great patio or get take out. Sunday brunch menu is really good and their lunch and dinner menu is well beyond just Italian. One of my favorite dishes is their Cuban sandwich. Good selection at the bar as well. read more

I really appreciate this laid back and yet clean and well maintained restaurant. It's not outstanding, but I've always enjoyed my food here. The service has consistently been good. The food comes out quickly and is appropriately hot. I really have to try their pizza because I have a couple pasta dishes here I really like (Godfather pasta, manicotti.) Spinach artichoke dip is a must! The drinks are pretty great too! read more

I never write reviews, but I couldn't not!!! The service was amazing! Our waitress Jenni was so welcoming and accommodating! We have two kids and sometimes kids can be hard! She was amazing to us and them! The food was literally the BEST! They have everything, but we had chicken parm with Alfredo and marinara, lasagna, and build your own pasta with Alfredo. We started with the cheese sticks which were also AMAZING! Don't walk, RUN!!! We are from out of town, but we will be back!!!! read more

super cutie patootie interior and patio seating. fast service and friendly staff. food was so good.

Another great meal at Venice Kitchen! From the always fantastic hospitality shown to us by the manager, Leenie, to the quick service and seating by Nicole, followed by fantastic table service by our server, Tiffani, everything was top notch! And, the food was also great! Highly recommend this #LOCAL joint whenever you're craving great food and great service!! read more

The food here is absolutely delicious. We have never been disappointed. I would only recommend the bartender smile every once in a while. Barring that, the drinks are yummy! read more

Food is definitely better since the remodel and management change. The overall experience was amazing and I loved the atmosphere and service. Highly recommend!!!!! read more

On mondays the veggie wings taste bad Please please pleaseee don't order veggie wings on mondays

Wow. This place has been transformed from a dated pizza parlor into a clean, fresh casual Italian eatery. The space isn't all that's new. Host and servers in matching uniforms provide spot-on service. And the food was excellent. For lunch, I tried the Cuban sandwich with fries. Both were good. My companion had the burger, served on a brioche bun with cheese and bacon. We will be back to try the Sunday brunch and drink specials. Overall, a welcomed surprise! Kudos for the refresh in both decor and food! read more

Love the spinach dip, but you have changed the bread with chips. PLEASE Bring back the bread for the dip. We love the bread. The food and service are excellent! read more

Wonderful food and even better customer service! Claire was an absolute pleasure, a breath of fresh air, especially in the times where good customer service is a dying art. Any time I'm in town and stop by Venice Kitchen, I will be requesting her and only her. read more

Pizza is the best!! When dining in the food arrived quickly. The restaurant it's self is nice and clean.

We stopped in the other day for a late afternoon meal. The atmosphere was odd. Literally waited for 3-4 minutes before anyone walked up to serve us. I mean, they saw us...they just didn't come over to say anything. Really remembering how the food tasted when it was Old Venice Pizza, we waited. Once seated, the service was good, the good was really good too. The layout and look of the interior was even an improvement from the way it used to be. That being said, I miss the menu from Old Venice Pizza. I could put my finger on it. It's just that something is different about the place m. Not a negative way, just a lateral change. Usually when a place does a name change and a complete overhaul, it's going to be for the better. I'm not sure this was for the better. At least it wasn't for the worse. We'll have to come back and try it again. If you haven't been here before, by all means, stop in and grab dinner. See what you think. They're worth trying for sure! read more

I said I was temporarily taking a star away. Now I'm giving it back. You know I have a love/hate relationship with Old Venice. My wife picked up two carbonaras and a pizza Friday night. I love the pizza but that carbonara hits the spot every single time! Of course I am still mad about the Sunday buffet. read more

Delicious food, excellent service. I really appreciated the environment too. I've come here on numerous occasions.

There is something to be said for location because that seems to be the only reason I ever come here. I'm constantly annoyed by how expensive the drinks are ($10 for a prosecco split?! Are you kidding me? Other places it is $5) and how uninteresting the food is. The fried cheese literally tastes like the ones you buy from the freezer section and so does everything else you order. Therefore, I hardly ever eat here...this is strictly a drinking spot for me and my friends even though they are "known" for their pizza. That being said, it is right by my house...you can get a high table by the bar 90% of the time...they stay open late all week...and one of my favorite bartenders works there. Therefore, they get 3 stars. I just wish I didn't want to scream every time I look at my bar tab. Definitely not a cheap drinking spot, but a safe bet. read more

Lasagna was magnificent! Ambiance was nice. Staff were friendly. Definitely will be going back!

Good food, nice aesthetic and great wait staff, plus reasonable prices. Very very nice.

One word to describe the meal I had here- "Delicious". I had the rasta pasta which is a penne pasta dish with grilled chicken, red bell peppers, green bell peppers, onions and topped with a caribbean jerk cream pasta. I added shrimp which doesn't typically come with the original pasta dish. The service was good and would recommend this place for lunch and their brunch. read more

Came here with my Fiancé for Valentine's Day and it was amazing! I have driven past this place so many times and haven't ever tried it. I've also been craving some good Italian food that I just can't seem to find anywhere in Memphis. But we did at Venice! I definitely recommend this place!! Starting out, just walking through the door I loved the atmosphere and the way it looked inside. Very friendly staff as well. We chose to sit in the bar area. Our server/bartender was amazing (Jatiyah, I believe) Started with bloody Mary's and crawfish rolls for an appetizer. Those were so good!Followed by what she recommended, a cocktail called Down the Stretch. If you're a bourbon fan I suggest it as well, it's amazing. For entrees my fiancé ordered the filet Oscar which I believe is only offered at brunch. Let me say, that was one of the best filets I've ever tried. And I opted for Alfredo of course. It was delicious, best I've had in Memphis. All in all this experience was the perfect way to spend Valentine's brunch with my fiancé. And as we were walking out the door the sweet host/manager gave me a rose! We loved the experience and will be going back! read more

I had a WONDERFUL experience last night! I sat myself at the bar. The bartender made me a drink that wasn't on the menu, a Cosmopolitan. He made sure I was taken care of. I ordered my Great White shark pizza. Hot fresh out of the oven with fresh ingredients! I'm very please with the service from my handsome bartender, my cosmo, and my food! Will definitely be back for another drink! read more

Just stopped here for drinks and an app pre-birthday celebration and I have to say they have one of the best spinach and artichoke dips I have ever had! It comes out steaming hot, (more cheese than veggies - WIN!) And served with crostini's instead of that dumb pita bread, or chips you usually get stuck with. We also had come champagne splits at $10 bucks that were great. The service here is friendly and down to earth. The atmosphere looks like a typical Italian chain. We sat at the bar ate, drank, and had a blast! read more

CHANGED THE GAME ON SUNDAY BRUNCH! Over the years, I've only eaten here 2 other times. Then I came with friends last Sunday for brunch & it was a pleasant surprise! This was no Shoney's buffet! In addition to the typical bacon, sausage, grits, biscuits, etc -enjoy made-to-order omelettes and waffles with your choice of toppings. Meat lovers will be content with yummy beef brisket. And don't worry, there's still pizza. But what set this brunch apart was a large selection of dishes & sides -many were veggies (like a yummy squash casserole.) Even the coffee was enjoyable -a smooth, nutty brew. And now the BIG SHOCKER: It was ONLY $15!!! Only negative: It was quite busy & I didn't see our waitress much. She did mention that the previous Sunday was much busier! I'm sure I didn't need more than 2 cups of coffee, anyway. Also, we didn't notice that a child in our large group was charged full price until we left, but that was our fault. Confession: I was tempted to keep this amazing treat a secret -but I'd like to see their business grow. Not sure, but I think Sunday brunch ends at 2pm, so don't be late! You'll thank me later! read more
