    Clam Chowder

    Lunch is no different from dinner in that this Lil, cozy and intimate, upscale restaurant has 100% exceptional service throughout the house, an incredible menu with options for all palettes, relaxing atmosphere where you will not feel rushed and magnificent meals and desserts no matter your taste! Don't miss out on a hotel restaurant that is head and shoulders above the rest!

    Fantastic giant pounded out breaded juicy veal parmigiana. Delicious tuna tartare on crispy-outside, soft risotto inside crostini. Calamari is lightly crispy and comes with clearly homemade marinara and tasty garlic aioli. The truffle scalloped potatoes come in a brick. A soft, tasty truffle essenced brick of potatoes. Unique and delicious. Great bar service from John as well.

    We have been to several restaurants that are classed as 5 star but IL Venetian has to take the steak. From Madison our server all the way down to the coat check everything was top notch and i could ramble on but if given the choice for a free four course meal i would take IL Venetian over The Marble Room and we have been to both place

    Beautiful interior

    From the time we entered this lovely restaurant, service was attentive! The beautiful decor has an old school charm of elegance. We dined early and glad we did as we had a waiter all to ourselves! I enjoyed the Verona cocktail with house bread with flavorful Olive oil! I decided to try the Veal stuffed Agnolotti pasta as I had never heard of this dish. No apps or salad for me as I wanted to be able to finish my dinner. I truly enjoyed my pasta, but after a bite of the veal chop and potato, I decided that this is what I would order if I return to dine at Il Venetian! It was that delish and I would give it a a 5 on the Yummos scale! It was that delish! So well executed except for being a little more done than medium rare. Still the meat was oh so tender and paired perfectly with the potato! I couldn't finish my pasta, but enjoyed an espresso martini! I was convinced I needed to try a dessert and ordered Alberto's Tiramisu. Our waiter surprised me with a Crème Brulee. Both were delicious and my only regret is that I couldn't finish it all! Very enjoyable dinner and will definitely return!

    The staff was really nice. The place is cute. I tried the drink called the vendetta. I didn't get a picture of it, but it was pretty good. I also had a glass of Pinot noir. For dinner I got the fillet which was cooked to perfect perfection. Definitely would try this place again.

    No resting on laurels here with Chef Leandro... food and cocktails remain top notch - spontaneously popped in for a quick bite on a Friday early in the holiday seasons... in spite of the packed schedule they were able to accommodate us at the bar (which we had requested)... Parker crafts excellent cocktails - I had their seasonal Negroni with fig-infused gin... complements the Campari perfectly. Engaging, funny guy too who knows how to juggle multiple balls behind the bar from patrons and the servers' orders. Super vibrant evening in full holiday mode! Great experience will definitely be back soon!

    You're in for a treat here. All of their food was incredible, their simple pastas are to die for! Service is impeccable and the ambiance is perfect for date night!

    Let's start out talking about the ambiance, and how it was perfect. It made me feel like I was in an establishment that has been around for years and years and was great not over the top. The food was amazing we tried 3 different main dishes an appetizer and some desert and couldn't have been more satisfied. But the main winner of the night was the service. The manager and our server were the BEST!! 20 out of 10 will always recommend this restaurant and anytime I am in Cleveland I will make it a point to go!

    Tiramisu
    Mary P.

    Absolutely worth the return visit! We came back for the second time and were able to book a reservation the same day with no problem. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the hosts who even welcomed us back -- such a thoughtful touch! This time around, we tried the calamari, the pork chop, and the pasta with mushrooms. Everything was delicious, but the pork chop stole the show -- it was divine! Huge portion, juicy and flavorful, with cheese that oozes out in the best way. I'll definitely be ordering that again. To top it off, our server surprised us with complimentary chocolate cake to thank us for coming back. We also ordered The crème brûlée - was my absolute favorite -- perfectly crisp on top with that satisfying sugar crack, and the custard was creamy and just the right amount of sweet. So, so good! The ambiance is just as impressive -- elegant lighting and soaring high ceilings give it a spacious, upscale feel. And the service? Still top-tier. Attentive, friendly, and genuine from start to finish. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in town. We're so glad we came back!

    The filet
    Tom C.

    What a beautiful restaurant. I mean just gorgeous. The service was impeccable. The food was delicious. I got the filet and it was perfectly cooked. The wine and the beer was yummy. We went here for dinner and highly recommend. No complaints at all! Will return!

    Amazing service. Top notch food. Delicious cocktails. Our server was helpful in letting us know which dishes provided large portions. Everyone was attentive. 4 stars instead of 5 for inconsistent portion sizes. My husband got the agnolotta pasta, which was a super teeny tiny portion...appetizer-like. While fantastically delicious, it was too small as an entree so we switched meals as mine, the seafood spaghetti, was ginormous. If he had known, he'd have ordered a secondi piatti. A little more communication on the dish sizes is warranted. Like I said, the waiter did indicate the larger portioned dishes, but maybe should have likewise mentioned the small ones. I also didn't like being forced to order our entire meal at once. It sort of took away from the fancy ambiance a bit and I felt a little rushed. I like to pace my meals as I see fit. Otherwise, a truly delicious and romantic experience. Just double check the portion sizes with your server when ordering.

    Rigatoni & Meatballs
    Jerry K.

    Late evening dinner in my hotel at the restaurant bar. Quick and friendly service. Good prices on bourbon pours. Delicious meatballs in Rigatoni with pork and sausage. Very nice!

    Lanetria R.

    A delight! The ambiance the music the staff the food. 10/10 I was so surprised every dish was out the park. I've been twice this week already and will be back soon. The beef carpaccio was one of the most divine things I've had in a while. Visit John at the bar for a good time.

This is a wine tasting bar where you can sample several wines (pour them yourself), buy a glass or bottle and also order some light food such as a cheese and meat board. I visited with a friend, Olga, in April 2023 and we had a lovely time chatting on the comfortable chairs or sofas. On the day we visited, Wyne Tasting Bar collaborated with Paint Nail Salon. On that day, anyone who purchased a drink or snack could get their nails painted for free so that was fun to experience especially since I haven't been to Paint Nail Bar before. We also got to purchase a $5 glass of mimosas as part of this Paint Nail Bar collaboration. I visited specifically to get my nails painted for free but I stayed to enjoy this business. While I didn't have a glass of wine, there are plenty of drink options to choose from so I'm sure you'll find one that you love. Since I don't drink (hardly), I won't be back here anytime soon but if you love wine then come and support this small business. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 47/150 total reviews in 2024 - 697 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 29 June 2024

FOOD -- I ordered the Slow Braised Pork ($22) which includes sweet potato gnocchi, fennel, crispy sage, and apple cider glaze. This was a delicious and very hearty meal. I hardly eat pork so I'm glad that I enjoyed the dish. The sweet potato gnocchi was perfectly paired with the pork. Everything in the dish just blended well together. All my friends enjoyed their food too, from the meatballs, calamari, burger with fries, ratatouille, and more. I nibbled on a few of them and loved it especially the wagyu meatballs. The food was all full of flavour. Service was nice all afternoon as the server came to check on us a few times including refilling our water glasses. MINI GOLF -- Head downstairs to play some games. You pay a fee and are then given score sheets. A friend's friend had surprisingly paid for all of us and I had no idea until the next day (for some reason I thought the mini golf was included in the lunch cost...LOL). Each golf game has a different course with some being more challenging than others. I recommend Birdietown Mini Golf and Lounge for a fun day of mini golf plus lunch.

Not a traditional seating, it was very comfy with one side being a booth and the otherwise having two comfy lounge chairs. I ordered the chicken sandwich, which was large and delicious.
