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.

I had been trying to make a reservation since last Christmas and was only able to do so after many attempts. Our reservation was for 5:30 PM, but we had to wait over 30 minutes for our table. The drinks arrived late, much after the appetizers. Although the server was friendly, there were mistakes with the delivery of the dishes. While the service overall was good, it did not meet the expectations set when making the reservation.

We went for the Holiday Pop Up and they did not disappoint! It was beautifully decorated for the Holidays! The food & the service were terrific! My daughter has a food allergy and not only did the server make sure all was good with what we ordered but the manager came over as well which we appreciated so much! Food was delicious! Great experience all around!

This was my 1st time and it did not disappoint! The service was wonderful it was so fun to go all decorated for Christmas and the music was great! From the calamari to the garlic knots to the apple sangria, the eggplant parm everything was delicious. We even got dessert drinks that came in mugs we got to take home. This was the best way to end the Christmas season and I can't wait to go back for another special occasion.

The Christmas decorations were great and totally worth the other non-satisfactory food experience we had. The service was surprisingly so bad! The plates were not cleared in the timely manner and when the new food was served we still had the starter plates on our table. It felt like they were tired and just wanted us to finish ASAP! We had to ask for a dessert menu when they brought us the check! The food was not that great. Chicken Alfredo and their Tiramisu was great but the soup and other pastas we tried were not that good. But the ambience and the festive designs is worth enduring the subpar food and service experience.

Did not have a good experience. The waitress was unpleasant and unattainable. I got an app of mozzarella sticks, which were not tasty at all. I got chicken parm for my dinner and it was terrible. The drinks were good and the place looked nice. Will not go back for the price we paid and what we got.

I went last year for my birthday dinner as well as this year. The food and service I received last year was 100 times better than this year. I along with my 7 guests did not enjoy our meals. Very disappointed with the kitchen staff. Consistency is key.

The food was delicious. We ordered risotto. Since it was Christmas, our time would be 1 hour and 30 minutes, which was great for two people. However, before we could even finish dinner, the waiter brought the bill and didn't even offer us dessert. I thought it was rude. The area around our table had an unpleasant smell. The Christmas decorations were ok.

We had the absolute BEST time! One of the best meals ever and an even better waitress, Deb! We will surely be back and will certainly ask to be served by her! Thank you all for a great night!
