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.

Wonderful holiday experience. Decorated beautifully for the holiday season. Menu options were delicious but choices were slim- with number of guests the regular menu would not be feasible for them to offer. Waiter was terrific and attentive. We will be back next year for sure!

The Holiday Pop-Up was so festive and perfectly decorated. It felt like an old school family restaurant overlayed with the most gorgeous Christmas decor. The food was delicious. Each of us had something different and were all thrilled with our dinners. The Martinis are not to be missed! Wonderful service as well.

Made this reservation in August - initially, it was to be my husband's birthday dinner, but was unable to get a reservation on the day - best I could get was 4:15pm on 12/3. Although the website said the restaurant opened at 4, doors were locked and not opened until 4:10ish. No big deal, although it was very cold. Once inside, we were seated promptly and our fabulous waiter came over quickly and took care of us the remainder of the night. Had the antipasto platter, which was perfect. Hubby opted for the chicken parmesan for his entree and I had the carbonara - both were excellent. Lovely decorations and great menu - a bit pricey, but so worth it.

We had high hopes, but they were dashed. The restaurant was decorated beautifully, but the issues began trying to find a place to park. We had a 4:00 seating, but ended up parking at the post office up the hill. Seating tool 10 minutes. We ordered drinks, my wife had a special hot cocoa drink for 21.00, which arrived cold. We sent it back 3 times to warm it up with no success. The wines were pricey, 19.00 for a pino Grigio, same for a super Tuscan. They were okay but not worth the money. The antipasto was okay, but again over priced, 1 artichoke, two pieces of salami, and two pieces of prosciutto. We ordered 4 different meals, all which arrived luke warm st best. The chicken, ziti, and broccoli was bitter. The chicken parm, looked like a tv dinner, my salmon was tasteless, and the carbonara was flat. For dessert we ordered the trio of cannoli, again overpriced, and marginal in taste. So overall, kudos for the decorations, our server was great, but everything else was not worth the price which was north of 250.00.

We so enjoyed the holiday lunch as a kick off to the holiday season. The decorations were amazing. We were concerned in advance we might be rushed based on the high demand and the volume of guests. However our server, Michelle, was terrific. She allowed us to enjoy our cocktails, take time between courses and just have a wonderful lunch. Our party enjoyed caesar salad, chicken parm, short ribs and delicious desserts. The martinis and special hot chocolate were also great.

Christmas City! Decorations were over the top! Great way to start the holiday season. Food was yummy, but understand that the food is prepared for the whole seating- a fixed price menu. No substitutions allowed, even for people with allergies.

I brought my mom, mother in law, and aunt here for lunch to see the Christmas decorations. We went for lunch. It was a pre-fix menu. I thought the food was sort of mass produced. The Caesar salad was soggy and our meals were all cold, they came right out too after we ordered. I don’t think it was worth $50 per head compared to other really good meals I have had locally but it was overall a nice experience for the decorations and experience. But I would not rush back.
