    Hog Wild Pizza
    Jordon B.

    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.

    BBQ Chicken Pizza
    Jeremy H.

    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

    Shell-A-Brate Spinach
    Allison S.

    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!

    Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
    Sara T.

    This was my first time here, even though I past by quite often. My daughter took me for Mothers Day this past Saturday. We had a small wait which was great considering it was Mother's Day weekend and lots of graduations. Everyone was friendly and our waiter(Prince) explained everything and keep checking that we were good despite it being very busy. We got the crawfish rolls, mozzarella sticks, deviled eggs, southern Cobb salad, my daughter got the bacon cheeseburger pizza, the chicken fettuccine and I got the mighty meat. The stars were definitely the egg rolls, the salad and the pizzas. The salad was huge and fresh, the egg rolls were so tasty and I don't like crawfish and the dipping sauce. The pizza was chewy crunchy in all the right ways and all the toppings were fresh and delicious. The deviled eggs needed a touch of sweetness that's just my history talking, still very good. I will definitely be back. It's not a big restaurant but felt big in a good way, we weren't on top of each other. It was very welcoming.

    I'm never disappointed at Venice Kitchen. The service is always pleasant, the food is hot and fresh and I always have a good time. I ordered the spinach dip, loaded fries and the creole delight pasta. Those are my go to meals when I go. Never disappointed.

    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!

    It's pretty consistent. The menu offers decent Italian dishes and pizza. The cheese stick are off the charts. Service is usually pretty good, casual place to dine.

    Dined on a Saturday at 3. The parking lot was picked but we were seated immediately. The food was great, the drinks were great, our waiter DJ was great! Will continue to support

    Classic Lemondrop
    Tommie B.

    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.

    Breanna T.

    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.

    Caesar Salad with Grilled Salmon
    Kontji A.

    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.

    Southern Cobb
    Serendipity T.

    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.

    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!

    I had an absolutely awesome meal at Amerigo! First visit at this location. I made a reservation and…read morewaited only about five minutes before being seated. The Italian bread with herbs was delicious, and every appetizer we tried -- from the cheese fritters to the calamari -- was excellent. I chose the smoked chicken ravioli for my entrée, and it was truly delectable. We finished dinner with key lime pie for dessert, and it was mmm good. Overall, the meal was fabulous. My only complaint was the air-conditioning, which felt brutally cold at times. Thankfully it wasn't on continuously, but I couldn't help wondering -- why is the AC blasting on a cold January night? Our server was excellent as well. A+!

Our waiter, Jason, was very attentive throughout the evening and made sure we had everything we needed. We started with drinks, and I ordered the blueberry tequila sour -- twice! They were very good. I ended the night with a French 75, which was also delicious. For appetizers, our table ordered a wide variety including cheese fritters, calamari, crab cakes, artichoke dip, and mussels. Most of the appetizers were enjoyable, especially the crab cakes, which were my personal favorite. The only disappointment was the calamari, which lacked flavor, had a rubbery texture, and even the marinara sauce was bland. After filling up on appetizers, I skipped an entrée and ordered another round of crab cakes instead. While they were excellent, they were served over a bed of pinto beans mixed with salad, which felt like an odd pairing. There are definitely better side options that could complement the dish. Overall, the food was about a 7/10, service was a solid 9/10 (though drinks took a little longer than expected), and the ambiance was pleasantly low-lit without feeling overly formal. It's a family-friendly spot with a welcoming atmosphere, and I'd definitely consider returning for future special occasions.

Overall it was a bit of a mixed bag, but ultimately it was mostly a good experience. The room was nice - open space, dimly lit, enough for a cool spot for a date night. Our waitress was also the hostess - not sure if they were understaffed or that's just how it goes there. But for the most part she was fine. Had a bit of a "whatever" attitude but was nice. There were times where we couldn't track her down so we needed to ask other staff for things. The main "negative" aspect of our night (to jump ahead a bit) was when we got the check. It was noticeably more expensive than expected. I typically do a good job having a roundabout idea of what we're spending when we order, so I knew something was up. It wasn't until after we asked for an itemized copy of the receipt (that we had to ask someone else for), that we saw that she included gratuity in the total without saying anything about it. I'm glad I noticed because I could have easily given double gratuity without even knowing I was doing so. I was a bit frustrated with that aspect of the experience. The food was mostly good. We ordered the bbq shrimp as an appetizer - their creole bbq sauce was AMAZING! I couldn't get enough. I got their smash burger as an entree. Not the best burger I've ever had but it was definitely pretty good. My wife got the bolognese which had absolutely too much pepper. It was mostly all you could taste in each bite. All in all, it was a decent experience. I think I'll head back the next time I'm in the area for some more bbq shrimp... maybe get a couple orders to go :)
