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 holiday menu only a few basic options. This is fine for adults but in order to reserve for the holiday experience we had to pay $50 pp for the 3 course meal. This included my 3 year old who only ate plain pasta. My 6 year old at least sampled most of the options. The tiramisu was the highlight. We get that they need to make money but it would be wiser to make it more family friendly as far as the menu goes seeing as last year we enjoyed it so much (when we had an option of menus). Next year we will just go to Lucca. It seems like a lot of other restaurants have stepped up their holiday game so I don’t know it’s worth the price. Also, at the end of the meal you get an envelope with an incentive to come back again (soon). You aren’t allowed to open the envelope before use. Spoiler alert it’s a $5 coupon. Overall it’s esthetically appealing but underwhelming. I feel bad the waitstaff has to answer the questions of bewildered guests.

The decorations were really pretty but unfortunately you have to pay 50/person even when you have small children. The menu is only a few options with no modifications allowed so my 5 year old had nothing to eat and we still had to pay $50 for her. Something to know before you book as we would not have if we knew this. Our waiter was not friendly either. We felt rushed and they even cleared our drinks before we finished them. I do not like to write a bad review but we looked forward to this lunch for so long and it was a let down. Online looks like a “must do” but it really is not.

I have now had two reservations this holiday season and both experiences were amazing! We were seated right away at the time we came in for our reservation. Did not have to wait too long for a table at all. The staff was all very friendly. The food was also very good! We even drove 50 minutes to get there. We were very impressed. Definitely will return next year.

We went to the holiday pop up for the second year in a row. Last year the kids were cranky, one of the entrees was meh and it was not a great experience. We thought it was a fluke and decided to try again since the christmas ambience is so lovely. We waited 25min for our waitress to even acknowledge us and instead of a Christmas welcome we got a quick “what can I get you.” The appetizer came 50min after being seated and entrees took 1.25 hours to arrive. The restaurant was extremely loud. I think the combination of noise and waiting is what broke the kids and made for a miserable experience. When we asked the waitress to check on the kids’ entrees she was obviously annoyed and it poisoned the rest of our interactions. Parents beware - this is more of a date night, drink at the bar sort of place. Food is hit or miss but maybe worth a chance at the holidays IF YOU’RE KID FREE.

What a nice festive evening with friends. Service was attentive, professional and friendly. The meal was served at a good pace. No rushing. Parmigiana, carbonna and Sunday gravy all were delicious and all had leftovers to bring home. The ambience was very festive and made for a nice before the holiday dinner. So glad I was able to get a reservation. It was worth the hour drive for such a nice evening.

We enjoyed it but some of the tables a close together so it didn't feel as intimate. We had to wait about 25 min despite having a reservation. The service and food was good though.
