    Margherita Pizza

    I love happy hour at Venice. Jennifer is the bartender, she is so accommodating and kind. She gets to know your name and makes you feel special and welcome. The food and drink deals are good, and tasty. I love the Cesar Salad, The Meatballs, and The Pizza. Not to mention the house bread. I plan to return, and bring my friends!

    Throwback Thursday? Who says time travel is merely science fiction. One you walk through the front door of the Venice Restaurant, you are transported to a different era, perhaps the 1980s. The Venice reminds me of Italian restaurants I used to frequent in my youth, though they were missing the white tablecloths, and large bread basket with bread sticks. Otherwise the menu, the décor, the black waitress uniforms and lighting was a trip back in time, and not necessarily in a great way. We chose this restaurant because it was convenient to our hotel, and after a long day at Block Island, we wanted to grab a quick dinner. We were forewarned by the three star Yelp rating that the venue would be iffy. And my fellow Yelpers were right on, though the food on this visit only warranted two stars. We ordered: * Calamari * Ravioli (with Bolognese sauce) * House salad The calamari was rubbery, a little fishy and generally unappealing. The ravioli was prepared too al dente, the edges were hard, though the center of the ravioli was good and the Bolognese sauce was fine, standard fare. The house salad was fine, the lettuce was fresh and the blue cheese on the side was also fine. The bread was slightly warm, not especially tasty. Our waitress (Sam?), was excellent, cheerful, professional and prompt. Service was excellent throughout our meal. Would we return? Not unless we had to, or we were compelled by exhaustion.

    Of all the places in Weaterly RI, we chose thisnreataurant to have dinner in. Its a holiday weekend. Okay, They were busy I get it. But rude, pushed off, abruptly shut down during an order. Waited over an hour for a glass of wine and then when I asked again was told they were busy and dont have enough help, as ro explain why I dont have my wine yet instead of just getting the F'ing wine. Other locals came in and got the Kings treatment so they were not "that" busy. I could go on but I wont. I will simply say this was my 8th and final time eating here. Do yourselves a favor and stay away. Avoid at all costs!

    Could be a great place if they hired a real chef. Hospitality is great but no chef. Pay a real chef. 90,000 a year and the place would rock.

    This pizza spot has been my family's go-to since I was in high school, and coming back home for a…read morevisit meant we had to order from here. The nostalgia was real, and I was hoping the food would still taste like it used to -- and it totally delivered. We got a large Meat Mania pizza, a small buffalo chicken pizza, and 6 garlic knots. The Meat Mania was packed with all the classic meats and had a great ratio of toppings to cheese. The buffalo chicken pizza had a nice balance of spice and tang -- not overwhelming, just right. The garlic knots were more on the well-done side this time, so they were a bit chewy and harder to tear apart than usual, but they still had a rich buttery garlic flavor that paired really well with the pizza. I wouldn't say they were perfect this time, but I still enjoyed them. Everything tasted just like I remembered -- the kind of comfort food that hits different when you haven't had it in years. If they keep up this level of quality, I'll keep coming back every time I visit home.

Definitely worth the price. The free bread rolls were good, I almost wish they had more seasoning or flavor though. The fettuccine Alfredo had fresh broccoli in it and was delicious. Also got penne vodka which was good as well, not too strongly flavored and cooked just right for firmness. The waitress was nice and checked in as well. We will stop again next year!

The ambiance of the restaurant is great, very warm rustic feel and I loved the look of the big windows at the back of the dining room with the springtime trees in bloom outside. Started with some cocktails and warm bread with olive oil. We decided on a margherita pizza to split as an appetizer along with some Parmesan fries. My boyfriend got gnocchi for his entree while I got eggplant Parmesan. Boyfriend really loved his gnocchi, he commented on how soft and pillowy it was and finished the whole bowl; he also gave me a bite of it and can also concur that the quality of the gnocchi they use is great. My eggplant parm was pretty good; not my favorite one that I've ever had, but still good. It's also a very sizable portion so I had plenty to take home. The pizza was probably the highlight of the meal for me, absolutely delicious and would definitely return for that pizza alone. We got a dessert special to go, and they also offer complimentary limoncello shots to finish off your time there. To top it all off, the service here was personable, attentive and overall excellent. This is definitely a place for us to always keep on our radar whenever we're in the area.

Ordering was very easy online, even though the prices seemed a bit high. We ordered $109 worth of food...Arancini ($16), garlic bread with cheese($16), Penne al Vodka with sautéed chicken($32), and the Alfredo with chicken cutlet($38). I was expecting a lot for prices like these. The Arancini were 5 pieces the size of golf balls and the flavor was ok, not worth $16, out garlic bread with cheese ($16) was left out of our order, the penne vodka with sautéed chicken ($32) was dry and there were 5 small pieces of chicken, and the baked penne chicken Alfredo had broken sauce, full of grease and almost inedible...I threw out most of it. I expected so much more from this establishment. The parking lot was packed and parking just to get takeout was challenging, but the food and prices were amazingly disappointing. We may try their pizza to see if that is any better, but I would not recommend the pasta dishes. I can see charging g prices like that if the pasta was homemade, but even that is a stretch. 3 stars is generous
