The Venetian Weymouth

This was our first time at The Venetian. We had wanted to come on my birthday on 12/7 and thought you could JUST walk in that day!. so I went online on 12/2 and was able to make a reservation for a Sunday 1/14 2:00 for my party. We were greeted and seated upon arrival. Our server Emily was very nice. The decorations were beautiful. In fact, on the way out, I posed with one of the polar bears that I named PETE. We will definitely be back !!!!

Originally wanted to visit in December as I have heard and seen a lot on the news and Facebook. I settled for January. And decorations were still up. I was celebrating a friends birthday a few days early and decided to treat her. Our waitress was Livia, sweet girl. However, we were seated and were sitting for about 15 minutes before she came over. I did get up and went to the hostess to inquire about. She did not go over the specials with us, nor did she bring bread to the table. We found out about later, as a new party was being seated behind us. We were looking forward to having a homemade pasta. The food was OK, sauce, very bland... No flavor. The calamari appetizer was great. The big chocolate cake was gigantic. And my friend is going to enjoy it for a week. I had tiramisu, which I found to be too sweet and did not finish... Which never happens. The decorations were beautiful but the rest of our experience did not meet our expectations as it appeared to be a high end Italian restaurant with those prices. Quality just wasn't there.

We have been waiting for a reservation to become available for a couple months. Finally we found out about an opening and grabbed it. Although we worried our expectations might be too high we were absolutely not disappointed. Drinks, apps, meal was great! Highly recommend the garlic knots! Wow. They were amazing! Our server, Octavia was professional, attentive and warm striking the perfect balance between serving us and allowing us to really enjoy the experience and take our time. The decor was beautiful. We can't wait to go back!

The Christmas experience (even after Christmas was so nice. We went with our 3 kids (10 years old, 2 year old, and 4 month old . The restaurant was EXTREMELY accommodating. The food was much better than anything I've had in the North End. The Chef came out to check on our meals- which doesn't happen at most restaurants (and he actually seemed to care!! . I wish we didn't live so far away or I'd be visiting more often!

Everything was outstanding! On time reservation, excellent service, delicious meals, appetizers dessert. Only complaint was -The bruschetta was sparse Excellent presentation decor
