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.

Great meal. We loved the holiday decorations. We were seated on the bar side but it wasn't too loud which can sometimes be the case.

Food came out cold, however, the waiter took care of that right away. We kindly ask just to heat in microwave but he brought us a whole new meal. The food was excellent! Amazing service! Can’t wait to go back again! Great experience!!!!

Pretty decorations were not worth a $300 bill for a lousy lunch. It's a nice scam. The service was great, and we supported a local business but I'll never go back. I feel like i got conned.

We had Anthony as our server and he was fantastic! I have been there a few times this season and Anthony was the most attentive! Would definitely recommend going and getting the chicken Alfredo or the pork chop, but if you get yourself sat in Anthony’s section consider yourself lucky!! He made our Christmas Eve reservation that much more special! Thanks Anthony!

The Holiday Popup was amazing. The service and food were so good. The ambiance alone made it worth the cost.

The restaurant was beautifully decorated. We had a reservation and were promptly seated. The food was good, but choices of value items were limited. We had a difficult time finding the details of the menu that would be offered during their Christmas Dinner Experience so we were unsure what to expect. Good overall experience.

Go for the ambiance and not the food. Our reservation was at 4:15 and they just opened at 4:00. Chicken parmigiana was cold and wet and greasy not the Italian Chicken Parm I am use to. My husband had the same meal and only ate a few bites, we should’ve had it taken off our bill but we were too embarrassed to ask. We definitely will not be going back there.

The holiday menu only a few basic options. This is fine for adults but in order to reserve for the holiday experience we had to pay $50 pp for the 3 course meal. This included my 3 year old who only ate plain pasta. My 6 year old at least sampled most of the options. The tiramisu was the highlight. We get that they need to make money but it would be wiser to make it more family friendly as far as the menu goes seeing as last year we enjoyed it so much (when we had an option of menus). Next year we will just go to Lucca. It seems like a lot of other restaurants have stepped up their holiday game so I don’t know it’s worth the price. Also, at the end of the meal you get an envelope with an incentive to come back again (soon). You aren’t allowed to open the envelope before use. Spoiler alert it’s a $5 coupon. Overall it’s esthetically appealing but underwhelming. I feel bad the waitstaff has to answer the questions of bewildered guests.
