Partners, Eric Papachristos and Chef Paul King have brought The Venetian back to its glory days. Chef Paul focuses on the classics of neighborhood Italian American cuisine, homemade pasta, steaks & chops straight from the butcher, Craft cocktails, and an impressive Italian & American wine list. A fresh renovation has brought 1950’s elegance of black tin-ceilings, red leather tufted booths, and chandeliers to the South Shore.The Venetian – A Weymouth Tradition, Reimagined.

Parking was the only issue. The parking lot was crowded and people were not patient waiting for people to maneuver the tight spaces.

We dine at the Venetian outside of holiday pop up. The food is good for the price. The holiday pop up is spectacular. Both in September and last night we noted extensive wait times, to be seated (having reservations), greater than 30 min to receive initial beverage. Wait time kept us from ordering another beverage or dessert. And the desserts are delicious so I was disappointed. The food was delicious with no problems. Our server was friendly but scarce.

Mid. I guess any mediocre restaurant can just put up a ridiculous amount of Christmas decorations and become a destination. The food doesn’t have to be good. Go with your friends for a martini and an app. Enjoy the Christmas vibes. Just don’t have high expectations for the food or service.

This was our first visit to The Venetian and it did not disappoint. We visited for the holiday pop-up and what an outstanding job they do decorating. The food was amazing. We enjoyed the antipasto plate and crab cakes to start. Entrees were the rigatoni alla vodka, Sunday Gravy, the cod loin snd casarecce. The four of us all shared and all choices were equally delicious. A complimentary crème brûlée was given to our birthday boy. Quite tasty. However, the staff is what puts this place over the top for us. Everyone was pleasant and personable and made it a great couple of hours. Thank you to our server Deborah who matched our vibe. Love when a server does that. We’ll be back. Thank you!
