    If you want to eat Italian in Downtown Cleveland Il Venetian is outstanding, great ambiance and service we had the Buffalo Mozzarella, chicken breast and home made ravioli stuffed with lobster and crab. All excellent.

    Outstanding cocktail (The Statler), housemade pasta (Rigatoni with 18 hour braised meat sauce) and Tiramisu served in a moka pot. Truly one of the best Italian restaurants complete with beautiful decor, exceptional service and conveniently located in the Marriott.

    You must dine at Venetian for the very finest Cleveland has to offer. To celebrate a 60th birthday, I chose Venetian as the restaurant for this notable Birthday. To start, we shared their delicious eggplant rotini and the best New England clam chowder I've ever had. My dinner entree was lobster & crab ravioli, which was utterly scrumptious, while the Birthday Girl enjoyed a fillet. The waitress brought us out gelato desert and a cannoli a bite with a candle to celebrate the special occasion. The service last night was the best I've had in years, especially our superb waitress. Bravo for a fine dining experience!

    my wife had the veal shank, which was OK. It could’ve fed three people. It should’ve been a smaller portion size. I had the pasta with veal, which was just OK. It was swimming and butter and the pasta was mushy. The service was fantastic. The ambience was very nice

    I dined at Il Venetian tonight with my son and husband for the birthday celebration. Food was unbelievable and we had three desserts for free which we didn’t expect to receive. It was the best birthday dinner and we won’t forget it. Definitely we will go back to this restaurant for more wonderful memories. Thank you, Il Venetian!!!!
