    The view was beautiful. I reserved a table while visiting Boston and noted that it was our anniversary and we requested a table by the window they sat us by the window. We ordered the tuna appetizer, which was very good and a decent option. Drinks were delicious. I had the short ribs and my husband had the veal Milanese. The Bread was also very good. Service was quick and we did not have to wait at all but staff were professional but not really made us feel welcomed. They were not friendly.

    Chicken Caprese and nice martini!

    Took my son here for his birthday, sat at the bar and had a great dinner! Megan was excellent serving us from the bar and made his little party a nice experience! Chicken Caprese and baked haddock were both tremendous. Always a great dining experience here. Love the staff.

    Excellent; the food, the atmosphere, the service, everything! A Boston-quality restaurant, right outside of the city with its own FREE parking lot and spectacular views of the Boston skyline. My husband and I came here on a double date with some friends. We started with some oysters, meatballs and shrimp cocktail. Oysters & shrimp cocktail were fresh and fantastic. Meatballs just melted in your mouth. For my entree, I ordered the pan-seared salmon. It was delicious! A large portion size topped with excellent pesto sauce and rice on the side. I ate the whole thing! I would definitely recommend checking this place out :)

    The food, service and ambience were all great. It's a bit loud in the restaurant but the food made it worth it as did the service. Wish I could recall our servers name because he deserves a shout out. Looking forward to going back again when I come to town.

    Only a little haddock left but lots of mashed potato and woody asparagus ends.
    Meg H.

    I ordered the baked haddock with asparagus and mashed potatoes. The haddock was overcooked and oily, even though I asked for it not to be heavy on the butter/oil. The potatoes tasted like instant potatoes. The asparagus was so woody that I could barely eat half of it. I do not recommend going here for the overpriced and poorly prepared food. The view is lovely though.

    We had the best foods and treats and the staff were all very attentive and polite! The table settings were tasteful and it made the atmosphere a perfect venue ! Very spacious and super clean and a very enjoyable time at this location! The spread of desserts was truly amazing ! Lots of details were definitely made it all worth while! The bartender made exceptional drinks and the evening flowed seamlessly! Great memories were made here!

    Front door to restaurant. Plenty of parking.

    Love this restaurant. What a view for starters. Nestled in a cute neighborhood in Dorchester, on the water, with lots of free parking. I stopped there after landing at Logan heading south. A great place to wait out rush hour traffic. I got the swordfish It was delicious. They allowed me to have just veggies with so it was a healthy entree. The bartender was very nice and took the time to introduce himself. Love it. Here's to many more visits to Venezia.

    Walked in on a Sat nite around 5. Sat at bar with 3 others. Barmaid very pleasant and helpful. Great view of water . Apps were eggplant lasagna , stuffed mushrooms and chicken bruschetta. All were very good. We got the specials. 2 orders of Rib Eye and stuffed shrimp. Both cooked to order ...other special for the nite was lobster and seafood over pasta with a cream sauce that I'm told was fantastic. A few martinis...one expresso and another pistachio after entrees with some tiramisu and Crème brûlée that was awesome. Overall a great experience.

    Five of us went here Saturday evening to celebrate a 60th birthday of a friend.. had a limo take us in and home so we could really enjoy our time out together. The birthday girl chose the restaurant and it did not disappoint. We had 3 different meals which all were very good. Their focaccia bread was without a doubt the best I ever have eaten. We ended up with cioppino which was crazy good..Chicken Limone was wonderful as was the veal Oscar. Our martinis were perfect and our server Chris was amazing.. We all had a great time and would go back in a minute.. Thank you to the staff for making our birthday celebration one to remember.

    I went here twice when I was in Boston. Both nights I sat at the bar and my bartenders were Sam and Chris. They were incredible. Service was immaculate, the food was incredible, and there was no fuss about my food allergies and preferences. They also remembered the event I had and asked me about it the second night. Everything felt very polished and warm. This is a great restaurant and I would come back for the food alone! The service is the cherry on top.

    Wondering if Venezia 'dresses-up' the restaurant for the Christmas holidays? Looking to dine out in December with a group of friends during the holidays, and looking for some fun and a little holiday glitz, maybe?

    Do they have a parking lot?

    Yes, huge parking lot and it's free :)

    How is the menu? And prices? And atmosphere?

    Very varied menu - Italian and you can view menu on the website. The restaurant is on water which is nice and plenty of parking. Nice atmosphere and prices are comparable to other restaurants in the area.

    Good drinks and service, no outside food…read more I have been coming to Nashoba Valley Winery for years now. They have a spectacular variety of wines, liquors and beers to choose from. Their beverage offerings really run the gamut, and are worth stopping in to peruse. I particularly like the fruit wine here, and always make it a point to get a bottle. Their property is very large and has planted vines and fruit trees on the farm. In the store you will find their products, a bar, and a restaurant. They also have a huge event space and tasting room that demonstrates some very nice wood beam construction. They offer glasses and bottles as well as guided tastings, and another tasting system where you buy tokens that can be exchanged at different rates for a taste of one of their products. This system can be frustrating and a bit disjointed (lots of getting up and down and exchanging tokens). They do allow you to buy more tokens to try more drinks, and you even get to keep your glass! Service is wonderful as always. The staff are very attentive and kind to the visitors. I will comment that Nashoba does not allow outside food. This can be very disappointing if you plan on bringing your own charcuterie. They do offer food on a limited menu. This can be disappointing for picky eaters, but they do try to offer a variety of items for everyone to enjoy. Definitely make a trip out here for some delicious drinks!!

I was pleasantly surpirsed to get seated with no reservation for a party of 2. I do recommend having a reservation though as it can get busy. The atmosphere is great for people who like sitting outdoors on a nice day as there are a ton of tables with umbrellas to keep people cool. You are able to scan a QR code to order anything off the menu and the service is great as the staff brings you the drinks to your table. For food they will text you when to pick up from kiosk. As for the drinks my friend and I both got the sangria, raspberry bellini, and fall sampler. All of the drinks were really refreshing and worth the price. The charcuterie and pretzel bites we got were also great for a nice winery day and the menu is pretty expansive so I want to try some other items in future visits. There were a lot of bees at some of the tables near where I sat and they often crowed the drinks and food so that it something to note. I definitely plan to come back next summer!

He is the dodgiest businessman I've ever encountered, to the point where I feel obligated to write my first Yelp review. I do not like sharing negative information but this treatment pushed me to share my experience so that it won't happen to anyone else. To reserve a tour, you first have to pay a deposit at the time of booking (fair enough) but then you have to pay in full for each person ($70/pp) the week before the tour. The owner, Joe, also encouraged me to pay for gratuity for each person ahead of the tour but at least I didn't do that piece on my credit card. So before even setting foot on this tour, I paid $840 for a party of 12. As luck would have it, our tour date was the weekend of Winter Storm Riley, that super windy Nor'easter/ Bombogenesis! We had friends joining from out of town who couldn't make it due to canceled flights and power outages. I got in touch with Joe the morning of our tour and told him 3 people couldn't join us (which later turned into 4 ppl), could he please help us out so we didn't have to pay in full for everyone who wasn't able to attend due to extreme weather and got the response of "Hey no problem! I will look when I get home... I'm already down here setting up.. so just come have a good time! :-)" Foolishly, I thought this meant he would help us out. I was wrong. Although Joe was at the restaurants before, during and after our tour, and had them rearrange the place settings to be set-up for our smaller group, he claimed there was nothing he could do about the extra $280 I had paid. I talked about this with him at the end of the tour (he awkwardly showed up at our last stop and took over for our much more personable tour guide) and he kept telling me that he would look into when he got home on his computer but there was nothing he could do now. While we were standing in the restaurant. Read: I don't want you to stiff us on the tip. (I did still tip our tour guide.) So the next day I followed up with him and asked for an update on the extra $280 I paid and was told he was working with the restaurants to see if he could get a refund for what he paid. When I reminded him he had told me this would be "no problem", he ended the email by saying "So I'm working with the locations to see if I can retrieve money back so I need some time. I promise I will do my best to help you out." I wrote to him and asked for another update yesterday, 7 days after our tour, before I wrote any reviews. No response. After not hearing back from Joe, who had told me he was "working with the locations", I decided to call one of the locations. Guess what? Joe had never contacted them. The owner was very sorry to hear this and said of course he would have helped out. He even kindly offered us free food the next time we go in since, as he said, we were getting "a sh!tty deal". The restaurants were great. Once caught in this lie, Joe told me there was nothing he could do about a refund but he offered me another wine tour. Riiiiight. A few ways Joe could have made this less painful of an experience was (1) not to lie repeatedly about helping me out with a refund. Why string me along? (2) given us something for the $280 I paid. If nothing else, give us the wine that I had pre-paid for, or the small bites at the restaurants. Just as a good business gesture of "Hey I'm sorry so many friends couldn't make it due to the insane weather and you have to eat the costs...here's an extra _ANYTHING_ for your trouble!" He had enough time to tell the restaurants our group size was smaller, just not enough to return some of the extra money he pocketed, so we paid the extra money for absolutely nothing. For $840 we got: 3 stops at restaurants basically next door to each other (Area Four, Lion's Tail, Fuji) At Area Four: 1 bottle of red, 1 bottle of white (retails for $19.99) poured amongst 9 people (incl tour guide) plus two small cheese flatbreads At Lion's Tail: 1 bottle of red and 1 bottle of white poured amongst 9 and two meat/cheese boards (several vegetarians on our tour but you don't get asked about the food that's been pre-arranged) At Fuji: 1 bottle of wine and 1 of champagne poured amongst 10 people (owner, Joe, jumped in here) plus edamame and spicy tuna rolls for the table (again, many didn't eat these) In summary, we paid $840 for 6 bottles of wine plus nibbles from the host kitchens that many wouldn't eat, and got lied to by the owner for a week until he gave up the lie and told me he has a no refund policy. It was painful. Please don't make the same mistake!

The winery is open 12-4 on weekends and allows you to bring in your own food, which was the perfect way for us to enjoy some local wine in a beautiful setting. There is seating inside the house, outside on a covered patio area, and they have tables scattered across the lawn so there are many options to pick from. We each decided on a wine flight before selecting some bottles and paired it with the snack trays we brought from home and we enjoyed a relaxing afternoon together on the grounds of this vineyard. One thing to note, the road to the winery is very narrow so they employ a metered light system at the beginning of the road. It's important to wait for the red light to turn off before driving down the narrow stretch. The person in front of me didn't do this and ended up having to back up (reverse) down a narrow and winding path to allow the incoming cars (who had the right of way) through. For visitors with mobility needs, there is a grass parking lot and lots of cobblestones and lose rock to navigate during your time here, so be mindful of that. There are a few stairs in order to gain entry into the house to shop/select the wines and the bathroom is not wheelchair accessible.

Obviously, there is more to the new renovated location of La Cantina than this saying but I will say I was pretty impressed when I saw it and knew I had to add it to my review. Let's just say it is pretty accurate. We did leave as friends since we made a few at the bar and then some. Just saying! La Cantina winery in Franklin, MA used to be a small wine bar that offered wine tasting flights and minimal food. BUT, now it is in a stunning new location (not far from their old stomping grounds). Fun Fact: It used to be a Mechanic garage. Well, wait until you see how it has turned from fixing cars to wine making and tasting. YOU HAVE GOT TO COME HERE! Parking is easy with plenty of spots. They have a lot of room at their gorgeous bar, but they also have high tops and tables for families or a large group. And, they host events here too; birthday parties, bridal showers, and anything in between, this place is it. I actually want to hold one of my milestone birthday parties here but well keep the number a secret for now. Service: Alana was our bartender and she was wonderful. Always asking us what we needed and how were doing. You don't get this upscale service any where else. And, when I wanted another sample of something she gave it to me without a fuss. Always with a smile on her face, she was the best. Wine: They have an excellent wine menu to choose from and they offer flights for about $25 pp. Flights are the best way to try multiple wines. I personally loved most of the red wines with Petit Sirah being my favorite. My husband loved their Barbera! I did sample their Sauv Blanc too which was nice but it was too cold to have a full pour. Food: Their menu is great with a ton of options from charcuterie, to tapas and some entrees. I will say some of their items can get expensive but definitely worth it. We started with a few cheeses and prosciutto. Then we ordered one of their popular pizzas called La Cantina. Everything was fresh, made in house with their beautiful pizza oven right smack in the middle of the bar. You have got to see this thing, its huge! Overall: If I could give this place 10 stars I would. We had the best time and we can't wait to go back. Franklin is not far from where we live but still a good 30 minute drive and also not far from the Wrentham outlets. We didn't have to make a reservation for a Sunday afternoon but I bet Saturdays can get pretty busy. I just loved everything about this wine bar and I know you will too! Cheers~
