    We enjoyed another lovely dinner at Venice. The service, food & wine are all outstanding. The gracious, welcoming manner of Aldo, the manager, just makes the evening special! We love sharing the beef carpaccio appetizer, which is just the right size for the 2 of us. For entrees we had the lasagna and sausage ravioli. Our favorite server moved on as manager of Alessandro's other restaurant in DTC, Chianti, but we very much liked the server we had this night. Giancarlo's wine pairing with our dinner was excellent, as always.

    Our server was a female and she was very attentive and friendly. We ate chicken Marsala and salmon with stuffed shrimp ( one of the specials offered that night). The food was outstanding! One of our favorite places to dine when we come to Denver.
