Venezia's ... a true gem! You'll want to add this little cafe to your list of favorites! We are new to the area, and simply love everything about it! It is a family owned / staffed business! The food is fresh, hot, flavorful, and there is a variety to satisfy your tastebuds! From the garlic bread (add tomatoes too, mmmm) appetizer to the chefs favorite and every pasta & pizza selection on the menu, you won't be disappointed! Desserts? I'm glad you asked... you'll have a hard time selecting from an incredible list ... tiramisu, cheesecake, key lime pie, pumpkin pie... and more, mmmm you can't go wrong! It's a very quaint place with a nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and tons of regulars! That alone tells you a lot... when a restaurant keeps people (like us) coming back, you know they're doing something right! Oh, BYOB Yes, Bring your own bottle, they're happy to uncork your bottle and provide glasses! Who does that any more? Dine in, delivery or take out ... this place will satisfy your hunger and make you smile! read more

Ordered delivery. Large pie with garlic and onion and extra sauce. There may be garlic on it but I can't really detect it. They use chopped onions. I wasn't bad but wasn't great either. Just average. The mushrooms were just OK. Not a lot of flavor in the creamy sauce. Same with the pasta. Not a lot of flavor and not at all spicy considering it's supposed to be fra diavlo. read more

Food is not good at all. I got the chicken Marcella. It barely had any sauce. The noodles were super super soft had way too much black pepper and just bad quality overall it just tasted like chicken broth. I end up throwing it out. I didn't eat it. read more

I wish that I had pictures to share, but we always devour the food as soon as we get it. For the times that I have ordered UberEats from this place, here are my favorite things: calamari, side of meatballs, and meat lovers pizza add mushrooms. You can't go wrong. Their red sauce has great flavor and they give you bang for your buck on toppings. If you need a pizza fix for a Friday night staying in, I highly recommend. read more

Food was incredible! Our server was very attentive and kind. Love that's it's BYOB. We don't know that before we went but we did notice multiple people bringing their own bottles of wine and the servers opening and pouring it for the patrons. read more

The best pasta I've ever had that was made by someone else. I was blown away. I got to meet Mandy, and she was so personable and a great host. Definitely will come back again. read more

Very good, family run restaurant. Menu has something for everyone with a very diverse menu. My personal favorite is the Sea Bass. If you like seafood, you cannot go wrong with this entree. Very friendly spot with attentive service. The desserts are not to be missed-especially the house made pies! Try this spot. You will not be disappointed! read more

Venezia Pizza Cafe - Sea Bass - Italian Near Me - Richardson, Texas

6/23/23: Been wanting to visit for a while. Glad we finally did. The restaurant is very clean, and is much larger inside, than it appears from the outside. There is plenty of seating, and there is a section for private parties. Sofia was our hostess, and she was great. We had the Chicken fettuccini alfredo and the Stromboli meat lovers. Sofia offered an extensive list of deserts, and we took the Amaretto cheesecake to go. This is a BYOB restaurant. There were a couple of large parties, and while there was lively conversation, we were able to hear each other at our table. From ordering to our food arriving, there wasn't a long wait. The food was pretty good. We would visit again, especially, since it's close by. read more

I have to admit that Venezia's pies are superior, especially the Sicilian pies. However, if you order one on Uber Eats, it always, always, always shows up with the box smashed in and the cheese all embedded in the box. Until y'all fix the issues with the darned box, no more orders from us. I've thrown away $120 worth of pizza at this point. It's just pointless. Please fix the boxes issue! read more

The aroma of the bruschetta was phenomenal! The lobster ravioli was very tasty and creamy I had to lick the plate clean. Tiramisu was slightly frozen(Im not entirely sure if this is how tiramisu is usually served) but still tasted amazing. The complimentary bread served with salad and marinara sauce weren't so great. The marinara sauce tasted like ketchup and bread was ok. Food was a little overpriced! Otherwise, the service was amazing! Waiters and managers were kind. The restaurant interior has a very beautiful Italian theme. This is an authentic family owned restaurant which has been in business for +10 years. If you're in Dallas I suggest you go check this place out! read more

Just had lunch at this place. First the service was super slow considering there were only us two and one more table with four. About lunch, we ordered off the lunch menu, or so we thought, but were charged the dinner price. Instead of one meal at $10.99, Manicotti and other at $11.99, Lasagna we were both charged $16.99. We had to wait so long to get one to go box and check I didn't realize the over charge till we had left. To top everything else off the food was just so so. Not bad but didn't have a lot of taste. Won't be back. read more

The Chilean sea bass is wonderful! Service is great. Nice quite location with local traffic

Absolutely disgusting and mediocre food. Gave me food poisoning instantly. I ordered the Tortellini Vodka Pasta and Garlic bread (literally $4.99 for mold, just keep reading) on UberEats. Not to mention my entire order was just wrapped in foil half open. I mean I trust my driver to not do anything to it, but come on! You need to wrap it up safely and securely for the driver. I used to do UberEats and it's a hassle when someone's food spills in your car. The pasta was so salty as if someone dumped an entire jar of salt in there. The serving size was also of a child's, I guess they confused my order with the kid's menu. I didn't notice the mold at first on the bread but I took a few bites and was suspicious, but then I thought it's just my imagination. Then I kept tasting the mold and it all went down hill from there. Mind you I paid $ for this bread, it wasn't complimentary. Now I can't stop running to the bathroom. I really do not recommend this place unless you love getting sick. Save yourself the trouble and make pasta at home. read more

This is BEST Italian food around AND the service is top notch! Highly, highly recommend!!!

I've been wanting to try this restaurant and I'm happy I finally did. The service was good and the food was excellent we loved both dishes. The salad that came with it was very basic, the portions seem smaller than most Italian restaurants but was filling. The food was really good, I can't wait to try other dishes. This place will be a regular go to for me. read more

Usually very good. But today I ordered my favorite dish there - the chefs special and it was not so special. Maybe a new chef ? The Brandy appetizer only had 4 pieces of sausage in it - they skimped on the amount read more

Good food, great people and you can bring a bottle of your favorite wine! We have been going to Venezia's for many years and it is always a pleasure! read more

Great pizza ! I haven't tried anything else but the place is really nice to dine in. Nice people too.

Lasagna was 1 inch wide over cooked noodles with paste of what looked like brown sludge..I suppose it was supposed to be meat. Wife had manicotti and it looked identical to my dish, covers in tasteless red sauce and cheap cheese. We had tried place place a few times... We have now decided not to waste money on bad food anymore. I rarely feel that ripped off ...they made the cut. Drive to the Olive Garden.... read more

Great food at a great price. I like the BYOB aspect and I love the vodka sauce also the pizza is great!

Great food, great service. Even with take out they treat you well. Never had any issues, knock on wood. read more

Let me be clear... EVERYTHING here is good... no... great! Had some leftovers from a friend and immediately visited the next day. Didn't regret eating here and the dining experience is fantastic. Great for the family and/or a nice, relaxing date night read more

Food service pizza was very good and just as we ordered service was excellent as young man who took care of us told us about Venezia as this was our first visit read more

Food is usually pretty good but this time it wasn't the best. Stromboli was not very good and the pasta was not the best. They were better in the past and maybe better eating at the restaurant. I will try it again in the future but was disappointed this time around. read more

Great service, great pizza, great atmosphere. If you want a smaller atmosphere and authentic pizza this is the place. Also the BYOB is great in many ways as you can imagine. We would come back and try the pasta dishes for sure. Food is worth more than what you pay. I don't write many reviews but this was worth my time to write. read more

Nice atmosphere at this family owned restaurant. Variety of dishes. All are good. Love their rolls too!

I have been searching for a good pizza place since moving to Dallas and felt like I haven't had a ton of luck. Came across Venezia's and was not disappointed. The pizza was delicious and cheesy. There was not too much or too little sauce like a lot of restaurants do it. The crust was tasty and satisfying. I would highly recommend this place. read more

We tried the pizza, and didn't care for it. We called, and owner was beyond helpful and amazing! We decided to order again, but this time tried the lunch pasta menu!!! Okay, let me just say, AMAZING food! It was perfect, delicious, and they were quick to deliver. I highly recommend them, and we will order from them again! read more

Great food and service. The Veal Marsala was very tasty. Cozy neighborhood restaurant.

Did carry out from Venezia and they have amazing choices to offer for vegetarians. Don't miss their fettuccine Alfredo and vodka sauce that's tad bit spicy. The house bread and salad fills you up completely. Definitely a winner and my to go place in Murphy for Italian food. read more

Went here and met a friend for lunch. Great service. Had a pizza. Really enjoyed the crust and sauce! (I feel that's a make it or break it for pizza). Quiet and clean. Will go again to try other items on the menu. read more

We have been eating here for years and the service is great and the Chicken Piccata is amazing! I love that is is family owned and operated It is also BYOB!! read more

Usually love this place for delivery. Today it took an hour and a half after we ordered and was cold when it got here. Epic fail.

Have gotten to-go orders here a few times during COVID-19. Great pizza and pasta dishes. Very happy. Friendly service along with good prices. The sausage and green olive pizza is what separates Venezia from the others. Try it. Let me also add that the orders are ready during the time they say, typically within 15 minutes. Go check them out! read more

1st time trying this place I'm a Chicago native so I typically know good pizza. This pizza was just ok scale of 1-10 about a "6" my pizza arrived cold, the calamari was not cooked all the way. I spent 29.95$ so for that price I'd expect something really good. The crust tasted a bit like cardboard I just wish I could find some really good pizza very disappointed. read more

We love this place which is a neighborhood gem. The family owned restaurant has great food, clean great ambiance and excellent service. The o era personally make sure of that! By the way being a good bottle of red (or whatever you prefer) to pair their delicious food. It is BYOB! read more
