This place was highly recommended by some locals. They take reservations, but we walked in and were seated right away. We both had the specials for dinner. Also we tried the Caparese Salad and it was great (we use to live in Naples, Italy and had the fresh stuff all the time). The bill was pricey, but well worth it, plus we had a bottle of wine. I would recommend this place to everyone.

My husband and I recently moved to the area and decided to see what the city had to offer. We checked out the menu and decided Cafe Venice was definitely a place to try on our list. I think we just found our favorite restaurant in town!!! Tried the Seafood Ragout, the Grilled Romaine Salad, and the Broman Cab wine ....at our server Michelle's recommendation. I can't wait to go again and try something else--they have it all....Duck, Lamb, Ossobucco, Veal, Tuna, Salmon....Simply the best! The food and service outdo anything we have found in Venice.....and they take reservations. Everyone is friendly, the place is cute and classy with white linen table cloths, and I even noticed that the waitstaff knew the customer's names and watched them hug and catch up..so they must have a lot of regular clientele.....I think it's Venice's little hidden secret. Definitely a must eat destination! Pricier than some places-but worth it--good until the last morsel, and not a waste of money when you go someplace else and are merely left content. This place is awesome! MotherOfWill |
