    Hog Wild Pizza
    Jordon B.

    I have heard a lot of good things about Venice Kitchen, so my friend and I decided to try it out. When we got to the restaurant, we just noticed how amazing-looking the place is. We were immediately seated at a table when we walked in in. Our waitress Nevaeh was amazing and took care of us. My friend ordered the Rasta Pasta and I ordered the Hog Wild Pizza. While we were waiting for our foods I just looked and noticed how clean the restaurant is. Once our foods arrive, I can't wait to dig in. The Pork Tenderlion on the pizza was just excellent. Also adding bacon and caramelized onions with it was just fabulous. I also tried a little bit of my friend Rasta Pasta and it was really good as well.

    I think we all know that Venice is that girl!!! I have never had a bad experience while dining here. We recently came in for a GirlsMas dinner in the private room. Peach Lemon drop: I dont know who was bartender that evening but omg the lemond drops were phenomenal. Perfectly made and the peach puree really is the perfect addition. Rasta Pasta: 101/10 as always Fav Appetizers: crawfish rolls and spinach and artichoke dip

    Shell-A-Brate Spinach
    Allison S.

    We went to Venice Kitchen for the first time tonight! It was busy and we did have a short wait, then were seated at the bar. We started with a classic Caesar salad and the veggie wings! The wings flavor was great especially paired with the house ranch. I got the Shell-A-Brate for my entree; I loved the two sauce combination, but I wish there had been a little less spinach in each shell. This restaurant seems great for a date night, girl dinner, or a family meal! I enjoyed the food and would eat it again but it did not wow me!

    BBQ Chicken Pizza
    Jeremy H.

    Me and my wife stopped in for dinner. First thing first they dont do reservations, its first come first serve. I approached the desk out front and gave my name and number and was told it be 30 mins. It was actually about 35 mins before we got a table ready text. So we where seated and introduced to our waitress. She brought us waters and wasn't seen again for about 15 mins. Wifey was on the verge of us leaving before the waitress popped up again. We ordered an appy and wifey got a drink, so we could get the whole experience. We ordered Mozarella stick, a Strawberry Lemon Drop and I got a Modelo Negra.We skim the menu and I got a BBQ chicken pizza(I cant remember the name of it) and wifey did a BYO pizza(Pepperoni and Bacon). Wifey said the Lemon Drop was ok, and here pizza was heavily sauced which she didnt like much my BBQ was ok. The mozzarella sticks where "Trash Can", but the pizza we ordered weren't terrible. Very edible actually just not to die for to me. I would come here again if someone wanted to visted but not off of my own power tho. Overall experience was ok, the waitress was nice and drinks where ok. Mozzarella sticks Trash

    Rasta Pasta

    My second time here and I'm thinking I need to visit more often! Food was delicious and service was great! Will definitely be back soon.

    Venice Kitchen has quickly become one of my go-to spots since moving to Memphis. It's the perfect date night restaurant -- cozy, welcoming, and always consistent. Every time I've been, the service has been incredible. The staff go out of their way to make you feel taken care of, and the food is always fresh and delicious. What I really love is that it feels like a "nicer night out" without being overly upscale or intimidating. You get great quality dishes, a relaxed but elevated atmosphere, and a perfect setting whether you're on a date or just want to treat yourself to a good meal. If you're looking for a place that strikes the balance between casual and special, Venice Kitchen is it. Highly recommend!

    Creole Delight
    Welexi H.

    I'm never disappointed at Venice Kitchen. The service is always pleasant, the food is hot and fresh and I always have a good time. I ordered the spinach dip, loaded fries and the creole delight pasta. Those are my go to meals when I go. Never disappointed.

    It's pretty consistent. The menu offers decent Italian dishes and pizza. The cheese stick are off the charts. Service is usually pretty good, casual place to dine.

    Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
    Sara T.

    This was my first time here, even though I past by quite often. My daughter took me for Mothers Day this past Saturday. We had a small wait which was great considering it was Mother's Day weekend and lots of graduations. Everyone was friendly and our waiter(Prince) explained everything and keep checking that we were good despite it being very busy. We got the crawfish rolls, mozzarella sticks, deviled eggs, southern Cobb salad, my daughter got the bacon cheeseburger pizza, the chicken fettuccine and I got the mighty meat. The stars were definitely the egg rolls, the salad and the pizzas. The salad was huge and fresh, the egg rolls were so tasty and I don't like crawfish and the dipping sauce. The pizza was chewy crunchy in all the right ways and all the toppings were fresh and delicious. The deviled eggs needed a touch of sweetness that's just my history talking, still very good. I will definitely be back. It's not a big restaurant but felt big in a good way, we weren't on top of each other. It was very welcoming.

    Dined on a Saturday at 3. The parking lot was picked but we were seated immediately. The food was great, the drinks were great, our waiter DJ was great! Will continue to support

    Classic Lemondrop
    Tommie B.

    I love love love Venice Kitchen. It's one of my favorite spots to get dinner in Memphis. We got the S5, crawfish egg rolls, and chicken tacos this time. The S5 is a unique and delicious pizza creation. The crawfish egg rolls are creamy, perfectly seasoned, and stuffed with just the right amount of crawfish. I like to get the house salad with lemon vinaigrette to feel healthy lol. The staff is always friendly and the restaurant is a beautiful casual dining spot. Other things I'd recommend: the lemon drop, southern Cobb salad, creole delight pasta, and fried chicken chipotle tacos. You really can't go wrong with much here.

    This place is very overhyped. This was my first time hear and I was excited to try it. I wanted to start with something you shouldn't mess up which was the mozzarella sticks and even tho they look good. The breaded was either seasoned weird or the oil was really old. Not sure which. I got a mocktail mojito which was really tasty 10/10. For my entree I got the chicken parm with a side ceaser salad. But the parm was more like flakes instead of melted cheese. Wasn't a fan. But wasn't nasty. While sitting at the bar I witnessed this encounter between a customer and manager. And the manger was not friendly or helpful at all. She was kinda rude in the tone she was talking in and wasn't giving great solutions on helping the customer. Would I be back probably not.

    Caesar Salad with Grilled Salmon
    Kontji A.

    Unfortunately, the deliciousness of the food is not the same since they removed the words "Old" and "Pizza" from their name. The prices increased, but the food got worse. When I took that Salmon Caesar photo, I still loved it here. The salmon now has a burnt flavor and drab taste. The deviled eggs are watery, but taste good. I'm not sure if watery is the word, because I believe it's just that there is too much olive oil drizzled on top. I think I will just have to pass from now on.

    Straight-up comfort food perfection. Everything on this plate was --crispy bacon, perfectly cooked…read moreeggs, hash browns with that just-right crunch, and the biscuits & gravy? Elite. Absolute main-character energy. Portions were generous, flavors were on point, and nothing felt rushed or sloppy. On top of that, the service was top-tier--friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. This is the kind of breakfast that fixes your mood and makes you plan your next visit before you even leave. 10/10, would demolish again

    Man, the menu at Elwood's Shack is huge--almost overwhelming on a first visit. Thankfully, right…read morewhen I walked in, someone pointed me in the right direction and said, "If you're trying to decide, go with the Redheaded Stepchild." I took the advice, and I'm really glad I did. It was fantastic--stacked with pulled pork, smoked sausage, and beef brisket, all topped with slaw and BBQ sauce on a bun. I also tried a bite of the barbecue bologna, which is a thick-cut slice served on white bread, and that didn't disappoint either. Inside gets pretty smoky, so you'll probably prefer sitting outside. Luckily, there are plenty of picnic tables and seating areas to choose from. I didn't catch the name of the guy who helped me, but he was friendly, energetic, and made the whole experience even better. Overall, a really enjoyable visit.
