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.

Excellent ambiance for the holidays. Restaurant was decorated amazingly well and was the reason we wanted to try it. I will say that it was unbelievably expensive for Italian food…$50pp for a 3 course price fix menu. Food was good but not outstanding. It was more expensive than the North End. We had the chicken parm and the Bolognese. Again definitely not food worth $50 pp. sorry to say. And the “ sauce” was bitter. Service was outstanding.

The Venetian Holiday Pop-Up was beautiful and the food was great as always. However...tables were too close in our dining area, our salad had NO dressing, they only offered one type pasta with the meals, and we felt rushed. Our server was great but he had too many customers assigned to him. I'm glad we had this experience but once was enough. There are other restaurants decked out for Christmas at better prices and relaxed atmosphere.

Wait time was short. Server was excellent and timed everything well. The dessert took long and the top of crème brûlée was not torched like pudding with sprinkle sugar. Very festive.

Although the holiday installations were beautiful, the food was very bland. The drinks were also not well made.

The food was NOT good. How does an Italian place make bad pasta? It was gummy and seemed reheated. My guess is they are stretched beyond their capacity. It's too bad because we went twice last year, once during the holidays and once in the spring. Both times were excellent. Is it festive, yes. That's the only positive I can say right now. Even the drinks were bad(overly sweet and bitter at the same time). I'm sad and I truly hope they get it together as we would love to keep supporting a local restaurant but won't be back unless we start hearing the food is as good as it used to be.
