Venice kitchen is ALWAYS a great choice in my book! The soups, pastas and pizzas are all sooooo good! It's always a great vibe when you come. Especially if you can come on a beautiful sunny day and sit on their patio! The service is always great and pretty quick! (Which I appreciate the most) In the past, I've just gotten mimosas while brunching here (they're just so-so) but this last visit I had an espresso martini and that was the best choice to date! It was crafted beautifully and tasted even better. If you're visiting and considering visiting, just go! read more

I think we all know that Venice is that girl!!! I have never had a bad experience while dining here. We recently came in for a GirlsMas dinner in the private room. Peach Lemon drop: I dont know who was bartender that evening but omg the lemond drops were phenomenal. Perfectly made and the peach puree really is the perfect addition. Rasta Pasta: 101/10 as always Fav Appetizers: crawfish rolls and spinach and artichoke dip read more

Me and my wife stopped in for dinner. First thing first they dont do reservations, its first come first serve. I approached the desk out front and gave my name and number and was told it be 30 mins. It was actually about 35 mins before we got a table ready text. So we where seated and introduced to our waitress. She brought us waters and wasn't seen again for about 15 mins. Wifey was on the verge of us leaving before the waitress popped up again. We ordered an appy and wifey got a drink, so we could get the whole experience. We ordered Mozarella stick, a Strawberry Lemon Drop and I got a Modelo Negra.We skim the menu and I got a BBQ chicken pizza(I cant remember the name of it) and wifey did a BYO pizza(Pepperoni and Bacon). Wifey said the Lemon Drop was ok, and here pizza was heavily sauced which she didnt like much my BBQ was ok. The mozzarella sticks where "Trash Can", but the pizza we ordered weren't terrible. Very edible actually just not to die for to me. I would come here again if someone wanted to visted but not off of my own power tho. Overall experience was ok, the waitress was nice and drinks where ok. Mozzarella sticks Trash read more

I have heard a lot of good things about Venice Kitchen, so my friend and I decided to try it out. When we got to the restaurant, we just noticed how amazing-looking the place is. We were immediately seated at a table when we walked in in. Our waitress Nevaeh was amazing and took care of us. My friend ordered the Rasta Pasta and I ordered the Hog Wild Pizza. While we were waiting for our foods I just looked and noticed how clean the restaurant is. Once our foods arrive, I can't wait to dig in. The Pork Tenderlion on the pizza was just excellent. Also adding bacon and caramelized onions with it was just fabulous. I also tried a little bit of my friend Rasta Pasta and it was really good as well. read more

We went to Venice Kitchen for the first time tonight! It was busy and we did have a short wait, then were seated at the bar. We started with a classic Caesar salad and the veggie wings! The wings flavor was great especially paired with the house ranch. I got the Shell-A-Brate for my entree; I loved the two sauce combination, but I wish there had been a little less spinach in each shell. This restaurant seems great for a date night, girl dinner, or a family meal! I enjoyed the food and would eat it again but it did not wow me! read more

Venice Kitchen has quickly become one of my go-to spots since moving to Memphis. It's the perfect date night restaurant -- cozy, welcoming, and always consistent. Every time I've been, the service has been incredible. The staff go out of their way to make you feel taken care of, and the food is always fresh and delicious. What I really love is that it feels like a "nicer night out" without being overly upscale or intimidating. You get great quality dishes, a relaxed but elevated atmosphere, and a perfect setting whether you're on a date or just want to treat yourself to a good meal. If you're looking for a place that strikes the balance between casual and special, Venice Kitchen is it. Highly recommend! read more

I have been here about three times now and each time I have enjoyed my overall experience. Parking is in the back and a bit tight but manageable. You walk in and the restaurant gives off a nice vibe. It's mellow. So far with each visit the staff has been great and the management walking around fun and engaging. Drinks are on point and the food has been exceptional. The lasagna wasn't my favorite BUT it wasn't bad. I will forever order the spinach dip and mozzarella sticks. And my husband clearly loves the pizza cause that's all he ever orders. I will return again and again. So why only 4 stars?? It's great but not perfect. But definitely worth a visit. I've had better Italian in the city. But still a favorite casual fun spot I will continue to frequent. read more

I love love love Venice Kitchen. It's one of my favorite spots to get dinner in Memphis. We got the S5, crawfish egg rolls, and chicken tacos this time. The S5 is a unique and delicious pizza creation. The crawfish egg rolls are creamy, perfectly seasoned, and stuffed with just the right amount of crawfish. I like to get the house salad with lemon vinaigrette to feel healthy lol. The staff is always friendly and the restaurant is a beautiful casual dining spot. Other things I'd recommend: the lemon drop, southern Cobb salad, creole delight pasta, and fried chicken chipotle tacos. You really can't go wrong with much here. read more

Zero stars if I could. This was by far one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. I ordered through Uber Eats. The app showed the food was ready, yet when I arrived I waited an additional 20 minutes, providing my name multiple times. When I was finally handed the bag, the employee even confirmed my name -- Malcolm -- and still gave me someone else's order. I didn't discover the mistake until I got home, after a 25-minute drive. When I called the restaurant, their first "solution" was for me to drive another 25 minutes back so they could remake the food. Completely unacceptable. I asked for a refund instead. What happened next made things worse: - I was placed on hold twice for over 10 minutes - Hung up on during one of the calls - front desk then ask to take my name and number to have the manager call me back. Not only was my time wasted (over an hour and a half total), but another customer was also impacted since they gave the wrong food to two different people. The lack of accountability, urgency, or basic customer service was shocking. Mistakes happen. Failure to fix them does not have to. The manager's inability to resolve a simple issue turned a bad mistake into a terrible experience. read more

This place is very overhyped. This was my first time hear and I was excited to try it. I wanted to start with something you shouldn't mess up which was the mozzarella sticks and even tho they look good. The breaded was either seasoned weird or the oil was really old. Not sure which. I got a mocktail mojito which was really tasty 10/10. For my entree I got the chicken parm with a side ceaser salad. But the parm was more like flakes instead of melted cheese. Wasn't a fan. But wasn't nasty. While sitting at the bar I witnessed this encounter between a customer and manager. And the manger was not friendly or helpful at all. She was kinda rude in the tone she was talking in and wasn't giving great solutions on helping the customer. Would I be back probably not. read more

Unfortunately, the deliciousness of the food is not the same since they removed the words "Old" and "Pizza" from their name. The prices increased, but the food got worse. When I took that Salmon Caesar photo, I still loved it here. The salmon now has a burnt flavor and drab taste. The deviled eggs are watery, but taste good. I'm not sure if watery is the word, because I believe it's just that there is too much olive oil drizzled on top. I think I will just have to pass from now on. read more

Venice Kitchen - Caesar Salad with Grilled Salmon - Pizza Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Very good food and reasonably priced. inside vibe and patio are both nice. lots of different things on the menu i'd love to try

I went to dine in last week and had a delightful time. Food was delicious and fresh and the ambiance was pleasant - not too loud. One odd things was a female server who kept yelling and dancing/twerking in the back area - she was so loud that I wondered if she was drunk lol. Our server was also amazing. I felt inspired to get this beautiful salad again so I ordered it yesterday and it was my first and only meal of the day. I immediately knew something was off, the cucumbers tasted like soap and it looked nothing like what's pictured - it was just thrown together. I took all The cucumbers out and tried eating a few bites and got violently sick and am still sick now. My guess - someone didn't wash their hands or something was wrong with the prep- no gloves or something. I know these are the risks with eating out but this really sucks. It was a waste of money but now I also have food poisoning from a salad in my attempt to try to eat healthier. I hope management sees this and really makes sure the staff is practicing safe prep for delivery orders, especially during lunch rush. read more

Ok first off not sure how the driveway parking thing works, but paintings and signs would be a good investment .. Overall love the interior, seats are a little close but that just means you get to meet you neighbor... and try their food!! Service was great and not over bearing and well that's what you need! I nabbed the salmon Caeser and it didn't hit the bucket for me but when you get down to it, the salmon was a bit over done but the seasoning on it was actually pretty good. Ok off night but if your are gonna make fresh salad make sure the dressing is their to give it a kick. My friend nabbed the lasagna and said it was a hit so I didn't kill the stars. It looked legit and I probably should have started there. Looking forward to coming back to see if they can get that last star! read more

Venice Kitchen, is hands down one of the best restaurants in the Memphis area if you like authentic food. Even if you just want something on the lighter side like a Cobb Salad. I personally have tried many different things on the menu, and every single one has been amazing. The service is always great, and the ambiance is more of a semi/business casual vibe. Overall 10/10 P.S: Their cocktail drinks are pretty good to. read more

Service was great , we both got the creole delight and it was a 10/10, full of flavor

We got there right at 11am when they opened and there was a line to get in the door. We were immediately seated. We ordered cocktails and placed an order for the crawfish rolls. They are always good. We ordered breakfast tacos (yummy), enchiladas (delicious) and French toast (amazing). I love French toast and order it just about everywhere. This ranks up there with the top 2!!! It was thick brioche bread served with powered sugar and crème brûlée sauce and berries. It was soooo good. The toast was cooked to perfection. The sauce was delicious. I give this French a 12 out of 10!!! It was that good!!! The restaurant filled up very quickly on Sunday morning. I suspect there was a lot of brunching going on but you can also order from their regular menu. read more

Sat down with my coworkers for lunch. I got the crabby crawdads pizza on cauliflower dough. It was delicious and the cauliflower dough was crispy like a regular dough not soggy like most. We shared some spinach dip with chips and bread both of which were warm and fresh. I'd definitely come again. My coworkers enjoyed their salmon salad and lasagna. They weren't the biggest fans of the fried chicken chipotle tacos mainly because it wasn't what they expected rather than the quality of the food read more

Food, service ambience all 10/10. Israel was a great server and the manager Rory was so accommodating and friendly! All of our food was delicious. The holiday cocktails were also great.

Love Venice, kitchen. The food and the service parking is always difficult, but it's still worth it will be back soon.

The food is delicious. The patio is ideal. The staff know the menu and make sure your order is in asap.

I love ordering the mozzarella sticks here! They're always so cheesy and they are a big order so several people can easily share this appetizer. We sat on the patio which had some rotating fans and that was really nice so we did not get too hot! The service was perfect. Our waitress was "B" and she had our food and drinks out quickly, she was attentive, and made sure to keep asking us if we needed anything. We told her we had a book club meeting across the street and she kept us fed and taken care of until it was time to go. read more

We stopped in on a Saturday night and had about a 25 minute wait. The place was busy and pretty loud, but you can tell that the place is well liked. Our server was very attendant helpful. The crawfish egg rolls were AMAZING!!! We tried three different pizzas and all were good, but nothing spectacular. I was super excited about the crabby crawled pizza because they said that it is similar to the crawfish egg rolls, but I was disappointed when my pizza came with ice cold crab chunks thrown on the top. Probably would not order that again. If we go back, we will give the pasta a try as it looked really good at the tables around us. read more

the veggie wings here are always top tier! i believe they recently changed the breading recipe but the crunch still lasts and the cauliflower is tender and seasoned under it. the daily lunch deals and brunch on sundays sets this restaurant apart! the service here is always great just be sure to know their busy times because there can be a wait sometimes. there's enough space in the restaurant to feel like you're just alone with your party or a part of the energy in the bar area! read more

This may seem an unfair review since it was a very expensive delivery order and not eat in, although the delivery service food used to be good. And still should be if the restaurant is good. Today I ordered the pesto penne pasta with a side of sautéed spinach. The spinach had a strong flavor like it was sautéed in old grease and took several squeezes of fresh lemon juice to make it edible. The pasta itself was cooked nicely. The sauce was just barely edible only after I added store bought basil paste to it. The pesto had zero garlic flavor and there was very little sauce at all. No discernible parm flavor either. This will likely be my last order from there since my past few orders have been less than great, altho not as bad as this. I'll add that I have undergone several surgeries over the past couple of years and have been unable to cook for myself. But no more pasta for me until I'm back in the kitchen. read more
