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.

The food was delicious. We ordered risotto. Since it was Christmas, our time would be 1 hour and 30 minutes, which was great for two people. However, before we could even finish dinner, the waiter brought the bill and didn't even offer us dessert. I thought it was rude. The area around our table had an unpleasant smell. The Christmas decorations were ok.

Beautifully decorated for Christmas. The staff was prompt and attentive always there when needed but not bothersome. The food was delicious. Our server was very knowledgeable, friendly and kind. I’d highly recommend a trip here during the holidays to see the decorations and certainly anytime for a yummy meal.

We just had the most wonderful dinner at the venetian. The NY sirloin was cooked to perfection and the chicken marsala was amazing! Our waiter, Christian, was super nice, gave great suggestions about food, and checked in frequently to make sure everything was good. The restaurant was very busy but our food came out very fast considering! We truly enjoyed eating under the ornament/holiday filled restaurant.

Holiday pop up was pretty. Waiting outside for entry was chilly. Service wasn’t great which detracted from the experience. Overpriced for what it was.

My first time there with my family. We loved the decorations and the ambiance. The staff were very friendly, even the Grinch! My only complaint was we only had a select menu to choose from. I think that should have been disclosed when making the reservation. I traveled 1hr 20 minutes away. I would have loved to try my own selection from the full menu not only off of 5 dishes. But overall it was good.
