The ambiance is "warm and inviting," perfect for special occasions. Guests rave about the "extensive wine selection" and house-made pasta. Some noted noise levels and service inconsistencies, but overall, it's "highly recommended."

Venice has always been one of my all time favorites in Denver, but our experience last night took that appreciation for your staff even further. Luis made our birthday girl feel extremely special, he was so informative about the wine list, as well as the menu. I loved that he offered his personal insight of his favorite dishes and what he suggested. With our appetizers he brought us an extra marinara sauce that wasn’t on the menu. He made sure sharing food was super easy by always bringing extra plates and utensils. The most special part was when our birthday girl went to the bathroom, Luis came over to let us know he had a special surprise for her. Once dinner was over he presented her with a beautiful platter of his favorite desserts you all offer. It was such a special night that we won’t forget, thank you Luis for really elevating our experience and making the night what it was ❤️ Keep Luis at all cost, best server we have ever had at Venice!!!!!

My husband had the perfect Ketel One Martini. My super Tuscan was amazing! Two of us chose the Ravioli Salsiccia (homemade ravioli filled with spicy Italian sausage, ricotta, porcini mushrooms, and parmesan cheese served in a wine sauce of porcini mushrooms, fresh tomatoes, and spicy Italian sausage). It's a family favorite! I chose from the list of evening specials. I selected the Ravioli di Gamberi e Granchio. The dish included flavorful shrimp served on homemade ravioli filled with crabmeat and cheese in a light, delicious lobster sauce! The exquisite dessert was served in a martini glass with whipped cream and fresh strawberries, accompanied by a pirouette cookie. The service was excellent. The ambiance is beautiful -- upscale but so comfortable and welcoming. The best place for a celebration of any kind!

The food was delicious! and the waiter Georgia did an amazing job helping us with everything we needed, and recommended the plates we got. Which I now highly recommend getting the Ravioli Di Salsiccia. Food was amazing, service was amazing and so was the environment. My wife and I look forward to coming back!
