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

Food was fantastic Service was on top of everything and they were very busy The ambiance was truly lovely just like the company I had. 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

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

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

Food is good. Parking is horrible. Service is always timely & courteous. The environment is cool. I prefer the bar area.

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. They even make mocktails so the kids didn't feel left out with cute drinks. All over, a great experience and will definitely be our regular spot read more

Service was fast and friendly. Food was delicious! The only thing I would prob do differently next time is to just get regular pasta instead of the chicken Alfredo that comes with the chicken Parmesan. I felt like it had too much flavor. The mozzarella sticks were so so good! And the spinach artichoke dip was also nicely cooked. I do really like this place. And would recommend. read more

The name of this restaurant is slightly deceiving. While they do have some Venetian dishes, the menu sways from Creole to Italian to American fare. We started with the crab gumbo and crawfish rolls. Dinner varied from make-your-own pastas with Rosa sauce, burrata and fettuccini to Creole delight (but we subbed the pasta out for mashed potatoes instead). The chef said he had never done it before but it came out so well, they might add it to the menu. The manager and the server were good and this place is always busy. Parking is tight and the atmosphere is lively, but the friendliness pays off. 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

Met up with the gals for lunch/brunch. I started off with a cup of java since I needed a shot of energy. Good cup of coffee. It was hot and strong but quite flavorful. I arrived early and enjoyed my cup of joe. I was looking over the menu while awaiting my friends to arrive. I did take note that the parking lot can be hard to maneuver. The majority of the parking is in the rear of the restaurant and it is definitely a potential traffic jam waiting to happen. Made a note to perhaps arrive earlier for lunch next time. I ordered the Thai chicken salad. The salad itself was made up of a variety of salad greens, carrots, chow mein noodles and a dressing that had a nice spicy bite to it. My chicken was the highlight. It was seasoned well and had a wonderful flavor. My friends ordered pizza and pasta dishes. A couple of the ladies had adult beverages that were a little on the pricey side but had a good taste. Each of them enjoyed their entrees. Our experience would have been a five star rating but our server was having a bad day or something. I asked for my salad dressing to be placed on the side but it was placed all over my salad. That could have been a kitchen mistake but not if the server wrote it down incorrectly. I am not sure. He was forgetful and did not bring much needed items when we asked for a straw, water, cokes, etc. He was on his way to bring us an item we had waited for and then he stopped at the table next to us knowing we were waiting. My friend had to go get her own straw. He was cordial but not as attentive as we would have liked. We did not call for the manager but maybe we should have. All in all we had a good time and the food was pretty good. I may return but will ask for another server. The prices were affordable. 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

They have wonderful salads. The wait wasn't too long. I really enjoyed my meal. Our group ordered Thai Chicken salad. I like the lemon herb dressing. read more

Okay now, Venice Kitchen I love yall. BUT charging $1.25 to add red onion to a salad and $0.50 for an extra dressing was not on my bingo card. I've ordered this salad multiple times this same way and never got charged until I got it to go. Maybe I've been lucky BUT for $1.25 I should've gotten the entire red onion. read more

This is for my server Sarah H I informed her that my chicken was too salty. She didn't even respond however she just walked off. She came back and waited on my guess that was at the table. She asked did we want a refill on our drinks I asked how much she never answered but my guess did. I told Sarah yes I would like a refill however she only brought my guess a refill. Sarah never asked would I like anything else concerning my food. When it was time to pay she stated I took the chicken off. She took my plate and that was it. It was the attitude and the horrible customer service for me My guess was wondering why the lack of customer service. We all politely paid for our food and thank her and left. I wasn't going to leave a review but since I was left on hold then why not. read more

Food was good. No, better than good. Food was stupendous. Had a sam which and the wife had some pasta something or other. Spinach and artichoke dip for appetizer. All were crowd favorites (except the crowd was just us! ) Would highly recommend coming here on a sunny afternoon in March with the wife. read more

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

Best mozzarella sticks hands down! I had chicken Alfredo and my husband had chicken parmigiana. We both really enjoyed our food

Everything was amazing!! Highly recommend the chicken parmesan and the meatballs as an appetizer. It was extremely busy when we arrived, but only a 10-15 minute wait for two people. Very calming environment with the dim lighting and music isn't too loud. read more

I've only dined in person a few times but mainly get my orders Togo. This time a fried suggested to meet for lunch and we sat in the bar area (1st for me). She was encountered by a rude hosted (Caucasian guy with glasses), needless to say she sat herself. Our waitress Sarah was either overwhelmed or new, I can't say. She was not very attentive and for the amount items we ordered (a waitress dream as we're not needed) she was lackthereof. My friend ordered a martini and I ordered a salad, easy pesy. She never checked on us, asked if we needed anything else, she walked past us more than several times. We had to ask her for the check. I can't say it was strange perhaps her normal behavior or perhaps she thought we wouldn't tip due to our order. I don't want to speculate; however, is she's the waitress in the future, I'd sit elsewhere or ask for a different server. Let's just say, I'll stick to my online orders. read more

We ate here end of October (I'm late getting my review in). Second time eating here. Delicious! It was a nice night so we ate outside. We got the veggie wings (fried cauliflower in buffalo sauce). Huge order! Super yum. We all got individual pizzas big enough for 2-3 servings. Good service and great Italian. read more

Little hidden gem! I drive by this place every day and never noticed it until I was looking for it specifically. We've eaten here twice now and I will definitely be back. Solid Italian food with fantastic service and great ambiance. Perfect for a date night or just a casual lunch. Chicken parm was delicious!!!! read more

Such an underrated spot!! Food is really good and always consistent - even with Togo orders. The owners are so nice and give back to the city!! read more

We had brunch with Travis as our server! He was on point! Our food came out in a timely matter. Took into consideration the order the food came out keeping in mind my cranky two year old! The food was good as always! The waffles were melt in your mouth perfect! French toast looked great! We had plenty of left overs and we were so full! My espresso martini was just the kicker I needed our plates were bussed at the perfect time and our check and to go boxes came out right on time! This is our fourth Mother's Day at Venice kitchen and we will def be back next year 10/10 recommend and ask for Travis he's the best! read more

Limited parking spots in the front but plenty of spots in the back. This place has great value and is very casual. It feels like a laid back spot for good drinks and food but not pricey or formal. This time I ordered the Rasta Pasta and it was good. Creamy jerk seasoning with chicken and sausage. Next time I will come when it is not so busy. read more

My friend and I are at the establishment today. The service was ok and it wasn't until the manager asked us to leave because there were people waiting and that we had been there for almost three hours. I spent 100.00 there and this was just for me. He had the nerve to ask two African American Women to leave. read more

Excellent pizza to go. Both were well prepared and loaded with ingredients. Properly cooked. Overall delicious. Ready at appointed time.

Beautiful restaurant, the look and vibe of the place is good. Parking is located in the back of the building btw. The service was good, very attentive and the servers knew the menu well. Now on to the food.... It's soooo good. Get the crawfish appetizer if you enjoy variations on egg rolls. I got the S5 pizza and my cousin got the creole pasta excellent! And so was the Italian lemon cake! I docked a star because the drinks were not good, my NY had too much red wine. And my cousin had a curated cocktail and it wasn't good either. But other than that a solid showing, I would go again. read more

Dinner on a Friday night with friends. Our wait time for seating was acceptable. All enjoyed the ambience, our waiter Travis was pleasant & courteous and above all we enjoyed the food and alcohol service. Plan to visit in the future read more

We went to Venice to celebrate my dad's birthday. Although they don't allow parties over 8, the host still accommodated us and made sure we could sit in very close proximity to each other. We ordered the crawfish eggrolls & spinach dip as starters, both were delicious. One of the bartenders was our waitress and she was super nice. I asked for a modified version of on of their cocktails and when she realized it was made wrong, she immediately remade it! I had the creole delight as my entree and it was so good! Glad I had the chance to visit while I was in town. read more

Usually get our order to go for dinner since I work nearby. We absolutely love their pizza. Always order the deluxe. We also order a side salad with the peanut dressing...it's incredibly good. The chicken tacos are also really good as well as the cajun pasta. Haven't been disappointed in anything we have ordered. read more

My party of 12 were there this past Sunday and were refused service for 2 members of our party. They seated 5 of us, but when the remaining 7 came 5 of them could be seated but the other 2 had to walk back to the front and wait to be escorted back to a table (there were only 3 empty tables left). The manager was called and he upheld what the waiter said. It was 1:15 and they closed at 3:00 on Sundays, maybe that was the problem. We took our business to Olive Garden and were prompted serviced. Piss poor experience!!! read more

This place never disappoints! Went here to celebrate my 50th birthday because it's one of my favorite Memphis restaurants! Had lunch on a weekday- no wait for a table. I love everything I've ever eaten here! Salads- especially! But the appetizers are a special treat - unique options and large appetizers portion sizes!! Outside patio seating available and a bar too!! Five stars for me! read more

Overall food flavor was good but little salty. ~ The fries had a garlic flavor but with all the on adds it was a little too much and was also oily. The Rasta Pasta was also good, but again also salty and super oily unless you like that kind of stuff. Side note~ I added the pepper flakes, I always like to add some spice to my food. Last the pizza, I'll just say you're better off going to a pizza parlor read more

I have not been to VK since they remodeled the restaurant. I must say I was so impressed with the new look! It was my husband's first time. Judging by the smile on his face, his appreciation for the amount of craw fish in his pasta and the taste. I would say we'll be back lol. Sydney was our server. She could have warned us that the strawberry cake and lemon cake we ordered would leave us CRAVING for MORE!! My visit was a wonderful end to my birthday! I'm not waiting for my bday, June 22nd to come back! Especially for cake!! read more
