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 restaurant was decorated for the holidays and was very festive. The cocktails were very good. I feel terrible having to write the following, but, the food was disappointing. The pasta in my Carbonara was like mush….overcooked would be an understatement. It was all clumped together. The water that the pasta was cooked in was not salted and the spaghetti or whatever it actually was…..was exceptionally bland. The chicken Marsala entree was also bland. I don’t think the chicken was actually cooked in the Marsala but seemed to be added later. The pasta also was very bland (not salted). We did not order any desserts.

Brought my two young boys as a celebration for the start of Christmas vacation. Such a great experience for them. They are 6 and 4 and were blown away and our waitress was fantastic. Looking forward to making this a yearly tradition with them!

Just FYI for anyone who can snag a last min. Lunch reservation (basically the only ones available) they have a prefix menu that you are forced to order from. No substitutes, not even any exceptions for children (I’m taking noodles with butter (that I offered to butter myself). We brought our two kids in order to get a nice lunch with the ambiance, and they couldn’t eat anything besides bread, butter, and dessert. All the food was sub par, VFW style, pre cooked slop. We all barely ate. At $50 a person (not including tip) I would have expected a bit more. They rush people in and out, just trying to get to the next reservation. I thought it was going to be a special meal that we could enjoy with the kiddos, I was very disappointed. I will say the staff was very nice. My recommendation is to skip the food and sit at the bar with your significant other, grab a drink, and enjoy the view, at least that you won’t regret!

The food at the Venetian was ok, not excellent as expected. ( and as in the past) Minimal sauce on our entrees. Very quick service like we were being rushed. Server was pleasant and good. However , she did not ask if we wanted dessert or anything else, she just brought the check. We were seated very close to other patrons and the seats were sunken in and uncomfortable. Decorations were lovely but overall not worth it.
