“This is my first time going and it was great experience. The waitstaff were quick and helpful and the food was amazing. Everything tasted like it was made in house. The restaurant was clean and there was plenty of parking downtown. I will definitely be returning here in the future to try the other menu items.”
— Jacob Rhodes★★★★★
“I used Venecia's for catering of a wake with only a few days notice to feed 100 people. The delivery was at exactly the time we specified and the food was amazing and organized. It exceeded all my expectations and I would recommend them for catering to anyone. Even if I had a family dinner, I would gladly order a family tray. The rolls and dipping sauce were surprisingly the best part. We ordered the lasagna tray, Lobster ravioli, chicken fettuccini alfredo and tortellini with vodka sauce as our trays and each were amazing.”
— Lindsey Tolson★★★★★
“Nice selection of lunch specials. Miranda, our waitress was very friendly and professional. Our entrées were hot and delicious. I highly recommend ordering a dish of garlic and oil which to dip the warm bread. The background music was very pleasant and allowed for easy table conversation.”
— Keith Proctor★★★★★
“This is a great restaurant. Well worth the short drive from Longview. It is better than any Italian restaurant in Longview. We ordered the Calamari, Veal Piccata, and the Lobster Ravioli with pink sauce. Everything was excellent and cooked to perfection. If you haven’t tried it, you should.”
