Neighbourhood gem

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.

So disappointed in last night’s dinner, the Chicken Marsala was awful (prior to last night thought they had one of the best) so watery you needed a straw. My husband had the Sunday Gravy which came out barely warm. It is very evident that the staff are frazzled and the kitchen is overwhelmed during the holiday decor months. Hope things return to normal in January.

We were excited to get in for the holiday decor! The music wasn't on Besides decorations there was zero atmosphere and we were a party of 6! The ceiling is decorated and a tree in the room We ate in. Our server lacked any skill and didn't care at all that we were there. Very disappointed in the lack of professionalism on the service part! Bartender was great ~ our meal took forever - we were an 815 Resy.

A friend of mine made a reservation back in September for a party of eight, and we were all looking forward to it. However, just one week before the date, they received a cancellation notice from the restaurant with no explanation. Despite having both the confirmation and cancellation emails as proof, the restaurant is now denying they canceled the reservation and claiming they are fully booked that evening. This is incredibly unprofessional, especially considering the reservation was made months in advance.

Was the last reservation of the night and felt rushed to leave and staff were annoyed that we were still eating as it got closer to closing time. Food had burnt taste to it that was so bad I sent meal back, which is not something I ever normally do.
