    Appetizers (carpaccio, gamberi) where excellent. Chicken parm came out less than warm, veal parmigiana was not hot and undercooked. Pancetta potatoes were cold

    An exceptional experience for my team of 8 for a nice business meal! The venue is beautiful and decorations well thought out, the menu provides a range of options for a variety of diets and preferences, and the drinks were delicious. Personally very fond of the calamari, the team raved about the meatballs, and my pasta with mushrooms was out of this world. If I'm ever back in Cleveland, I will happily return to Il Venetian!

    This was our first time dining at Il Venetian, it won’t be the last. We really enjoyed the experience. The food was excellent, but even better than the food was the service and pacing of the meal. Unlike almost everywhere else we go, there was no rush, we had time between courses, it was a truly relaxing enjoyable experience. I highly recommend taking your significant other on a date here, loved it. Oh yeah, don’t skip dessert, delicious. Tiramisu was tremendous. Shout out to our waiter, Jesus, amazing, thank you!
