Finally made it in after finding out about this restaurant. Was greeted when walked in and told I could sit wherever I wanted. Inside was clean and organized. Drinks were quickly brought out along with some fresh buttered knots. They were excellent. I ordered the chicken parmigiana. It was delicious. Chicken was tender and flavorful. Spaghetti was cooked perfectly. Sauce was great too. The food was very reasonably priced and service was exceptional. Fantastic experience from a little hidden gem. Can't wait to come back and try something else. read more

Venecia - Chicken Parmigiana - Italian Near Me - Farmersville, Texas

We love the food at Venecia. We haven't had a bad dish yet. And the staff is always gracious and punctual. I like the fact it's BYOB and I can bring my own wine and they will open it and provide glasses. read more

Decent Italian in a small town strip mall. Came in at 9pm'ish on Friday night, we were seated immediately. Drinks and garlic bread were quick to follow. Menu is extensive with pizza, sandwiches, baked pasta, sauced pasta and desserts. We went with a loaded Stromboli and chicken piccata. Food arrived fast and hot. Only down side of the piccata was chicken still had that piece of tendon attached. Stromboli was tasty and packed with veggies. Service was excellent. We'll be back. read more

Food was awesome service was amazing. We had the seafood combo and the manicotti alla pana they were delicious

Great local pizza place. Friendly staff, plenty of tables. Service is quick and attentive. The pizzas do not disappoint and they bring you fresh garlic rolls. Supposedly they have the best bread pudding around (trying to stay away from dessert). The interior is a bit dated, but clean. Give it a try if you are near Farmersville and craving a good pizza.

Venecia - Venecia Special, Stromboli (with just pepperoni) and garlic rolls - Italian Near Me - Farmersville, Texas

On our way to stay locally for a few days, we were both hungry. I suggested we call Venecia from the car as we were coming to Farmersville. They quickly took our large pizza with mushrooms and black olives order and 25 minutes later we pulled in. Right on time! Quickly paid for and left with the pizza. Got home and now we know why Venecia is known as the best pizza in Farmersville, because it IS! Very tasty! We had the remainder of the pizza the next day and it reheated perfectly. Next time we will try the Pesto Pizza as that looks tasty!! Great service and what can be tight parking if/when busy. read more

Tried Venecia for the first time tonight! 5 Pretty busy for a Wednesday night and the staff were great (kept drinks filled and rolls coming.) Our food also came out quickly being so busy along with take out orders. Super cute little place, very cozy. I got the fettuccini alfredo, so good and plenty of sauce (I hate dry pasta). My husband got the chicken pesto, he's already talking about coming back for dinner this weekend to get it again because it was so good haha. Our son got the kids pizza with pepperoni. Huge portion which was great, absolutely loved it. For dessert (to-go) we got the cheesecake and the chocolate mousse cake. Both were delicious. Highly recommend this place, definitely will be back again (very soon)! read more

Love this local restaurant! Great food, exceptional service and prices are reasonable! Extra large party room to use at no extra charge! I love this place if it's just me or family and friends! Feels like home! read more

The whole setup is disappointing. Have eaten here twice. The food was ok the first time but not the second. I don't understand how this family Thats running it doesn't seem to care a bit about customer service. The only female waitress barely speaks and couldn't care less if you were there. No personality. The other guys speak foreign language to each other constantly and also don't care about business. Never returning. Weird setup. read more

The pastas and house salad dressing are great, but my family despised the pizza. The service wasn't exactly friendly (I've been there three times with the same server) but it was efficient and we did not lack for anything. Definitely worth a visit- especially the lobster ravioli! read more

Ok I'm from south Louisiana and their claim of having the best bread pudding was laughable to me until I actually tried it. It is amazing I can't say it's the best but I will say it's in the top 3 I've ever had and I've had it a thousand times are more in my life. All their food I've had is great. read more

Love these guys. Food is always excellent and homemade, and owner goes above and beyond to nake his customers happy. The Italian rolls with marinara is a favorite. read more

This was the BEST Italian food we have had in a long time! The flavors...omg! You can really tell that they take their time and put a great amount of pride into each dish. This is our new go to place for all things of the Italian delicacies. read more

I recently had lunch here. They offer lunch specials as well as a full menu. The rolls are perfect, nice crust on the exterior, warm and soft on the inside. I had the stuffed mushroom appetizer. They were very flavorful, you could taste the crab meat in each bite. The Pasta Combo lunch special included a salad. I opted for the house dressing which was a delicious tomato vinaigrette. The pasta combo was a great choice as I was able to sample the lasagna, manicotti and cannelloni. Loaded with cheese, meat and sauce. It's worth the drive and scenic as you cross Lake Lavon on 380. I highly recommend it! read more

Such a great Italian restaurant! This was my first time here and I will always come back when I'm in the area. The hostess was great. The garlic knots were beyond fresh and soft. The garlic oil was a huge potion and so flavorful. The lasagna was the BEST I've ever had!! You truly tasted every layer. The baked ziti and meatballs were heavy. The pasta was cooked perfectly! A must try!! read more

I have been training as an over the road truck driver for the last week and had to take my DOT required reset (basically I cannot move the truck for 34 hours) in this small town in TX. Needless to say, the nearby "real food" options were few and far between. I took an uber 6 miles to this little Italian restaurant in a strip mall. My expectations were not high at all -- 'anything has to be better than a gas station burrito' I thought to myself When I got here I was greeted by a friendly staff and warm, welcoming atmosphere. Let me tell you I was blown away at the quality of the food! I have had the pleasure of spending a month backpacking in Italy, and this food hold up to some of the best meals I had in Tuscany! Absolutely delicious! A little treasure in small town texas . Thank you for giving me life after a long, hard week of driving. read more

Food is great and the service is unbeatable. They even serve gluten free pasta. Stop by and give it a try!

I visited Venecia today during lunch. Wow! This family-owned restaurant has delicious food and is affordably priced. Definitely get the salad with the house dressing -- their house dressing is unique and one of the better dressings I have had in awhile. I also recommend the Pasta Combo. The Pasta Combo comes with Manicotti, Lasagna and Cannelloni. Be sure to visit during lunch hours to get their lunch specials. read more

What a meal! This is definitely a hidden "Mom & Pop" gem. Located just off 380-E in Farmersville, Venecia may appear like a hole-in-the-wall that offers nothing, but if you thought that you'd be OH-SO wrong! Their prices are startling and competitive, and the portions are ample and filling. I ordered a cheese tortellini and cream sauce dish with a side of three meatballs. Meanwhile, my wife was all over a spicy shrimp linguine with mushrooms and onions. Deliciousness to the MAX! read more

Found out about this restaurant while doing some contract work in Princeton. They told me this was one of the best local Italian restaurants around. They were telling the truth. The restaurant is run by two gentleman from Italy and the food shows. My friend and I called in our orders as we had to get back to work. They had tons of lunch specials and I decided to get their lasagna and a side of broccoli and my friend got the baked ziti. The lasagna smelled amazing. I opened up my box and was surprised to find a lovely long piece of lasagna covered with cheese, medium thick sauce with beef and red pepper. The sauce just melts in your mouth and has a nice hint of spice! The bread that came with the lasagna was so warm and flakey. I dipped the bread in the sauce and it was just amazing! I had to stop myself from eating everything at once. I so wish that Venecia was closer to me as I would go every week--it is just that good!! read more

We have been here several times and have enjoyed it each time, the best Italian restaurant in Princeton/Farmersville area!!!! Bring your own wine, no corkage fees!!!!! We are going to ask if we can bring our own vegan cheese next time... read more

This place is Amazing. My favorite is the Shrimp Diablo. Chefs Kiss for that dish. Service is amazing as well. It is very welcoming. Friendly staff. For dessert we always get the Tirimisu. Oh and the garlic bread is also amazing. Give it a try. You will not be disappointed. read more

Was excited to try a new place but so disappointed. I don't understand how these places get such high scores unless it's just all friends of the owners. Got the Venecia special pizza and Philly cheese steak sub. They weren't bad but just so bland, no seasoning. Won't be back. read more

Exceptional food, exceptional service, exceptional EVERYTHING! My company orders catering for 100 people at least once a week from Venecia. The food is flavorful, fresh, and abundant! Jorge and Fidi always take such great care of us and make sure we are happy and full! I highly recommend eating at Venecia's!!! read more

Everything we ordered was very salty and oily, especially the minestrone. The rolls were decent. Customer service over the phone was dry, but in person was much better. No eating utensils were put in the bag for the to-go order. Our order: Spaghetti and Meatballs Buttered Noodles (they gave us dry noodles) Minestrone read more

We visited this place on a Thursday evening around 7 pm and when we first walked in, there was maybe one or two other tables but within a few minutes, the entire place was full. I believe the place only had one waiter during this time and she did well considering she was working a lot of tables. We ordered the olive oil and garlic appetizer which I do not recommend. It was 'ok' at best but just not what I expected and just over priced at $3.99 IMO. For the table, we ordered three different entrees of which I ordered the chicken marsala. It was good although pieces of the chicken had a bit of a strange flavor of gasoline or something. I can't really explain it but regardless, it was ok. The other two entrees were enjoyed by my family. Overall, I'm giving this place four stars as it is above average (3 star restaurants in my review scale) and will likely return again in the future. read more

Great food and service! The spaghetti and meat sauce was the best I've had at a restaurant in years.

It was just okay. The food was okay but the second time we ate there my plate was a little on the cold side. The service was just okay but nothing special about this restaurant. read more

This is a very nice restaurant. The only problem was they were extremely busy and they were shorthanded. The food was delicious. No complaints on the food. The rolls were amazing also. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and we will be coming back. read more

Fettuccine Alfredo was runny and had no taste. Meatballs are not fresh made. Lasagna was salty. Maybe was a bad day In The kitchen or I'm just simply picky being Italian and knowing great taste for the cuisine. But for those that want fast food Italian and don't care, this is your place. read more
