    Fried shrimp
    Ashley H.

    I'd honestly give this place four for both food and location! It's situated right on the boardwalk with a beautiful view. All our food was delicious and portions were pretty big. I did feel the price was decently high but we were there during spring break. It was the service that killed this place. We waited like 30 minutes for our sister to return no one could find him. He just disappeared so we were left waiting. Also the bathrooms needed some cleaning. But the ambiance and food were great!

    WORST $100 for 2 12' pizzas and a pasta Host was smoking a cigar, one thing is to have to deal with that from another guest but coming a "high end place" themself.. very unfortunate. We had a pregnant person and 2 babies at our table. Our table ordered 2 pizzas and they came out AFTER 1 person ordering the pasta FINISHED. & there was 2 whole different parties of 2 next to us that ordered and finished before we got our pizza. I understand busy days happen but when I ask the person who took our order who was possibly the manager, no apologies.. just EXCUSES. "Pizza is different than the kitchen" "the table next to you ordered different things" blah blah blah... all I take from that is poor management in the back. It doesn't take that long for small pizzas to be made, and if it did a sincere apology would have been better. Waiter never checked on us for any refills. All our 4 cups were empty. I asked for an extra plate, it never came. AND WHEN THE BILL CAME TIP WAS INCLUDED. BYEEEE. Don't fall for the trendy tictok videos. Take your money elsewhere. This place suckkkkkkkksss.

    Much smaller in person. Alfredo noodles and a tiny piece of chicken that was cut up in tiny pieces for another $12.

    I honestly wanted to give them a one star but gave them a 2 star because at least on staff member was nice. The food tasted like it came out of a can. The restaurant was messy and no one checked on us to see if we needed anything. The food portion is really small. It came with a tiny piece of bread. What a disappointment this place is. A real waste of money. We paid $45 for this tiny plate and ended up going somewhere else for some real food. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

    GORGEOUS AND AMAZING FOOD!!!

    The owner who is the host is just wonderful! His friendly personality and wonderful hospitality are what make this restaurant so wonderful. never had service as good as right here at Venice on Hollywood on the boardwalk! Beachfront, Best food, Best service! 10/10 recommend book the reservation!!!

    Chill beach vibes, cool staff and the food is decent. A calm spot to grab breakfast and enjoy the ocean

    pizza

    Tonight we came in looking for some good italian food. the host was super convincing which made us skeptical why he was over selling the food. EVERYTHING tasted like it was frozen and out of a can. not one thing was good what so ever. the service was fine nice enough servers. WOULD NEVERRRR RECOMMEND

    The focaccia??? drier than the Sahara desert

    Not worth it don't come here.. better off going to the 7eleven sure the bathroom is cleaner, between every single drink tasting like the same exact dirty glass the pizza was over cooked and under cooked at the same time. Good luck dodging the termites need to reevaluate the situation as the owner was the one to approach us and lure us in thanks for the nice attitude and personality but wow should have just went to Wawa or anywhere else avoid at all cost do not get a drink unless you wanna pay for a full glass on the table

    Fried cod with fried mussels and fried shrimp it taste like a tempura batter. It was really good in light and fluffy.
    Chef Pedro R.

    So i was walking on the board walk and little older gentleman stopped me and offered to show me the menu.. My wife and i agreed lets try it We went in sat down ordered the fried calamari with fried muscle and fried shrimp it was ok not bad oi just wasn't really craving for seafood my wife really enjoyed it Spaghetti Bolognese that really was really good that hit the spot The atmosphere of the place very lively very entertaining laid-back it's always like the place is just perfect after we eat. Just sit back and have a few mixed drinks and talk to friends and have a good time. The atmosphere was so friendly was great. I would definitely recommend this place. All the waitresses and waiters very helpful the service the front of the house was just perfect. The front of the house workers are excellent workers. My waiter Miguel was one of the best he really was attentive. He was uniform clean. He was very prompt. Very polite spoke like a true educated man. Communication skills are highly appreciated very friendly man. But I've noticed about all the employees is the show concern about how their guest enjoyed the food? I gotta tell you I did enjoy the food. It was great. They really took a lot of pride in this place. I must've been asked. How was the food from three different staff members in front of the house that really shows pride I respect that as a chef. If you wanna have some good food, sit down and enjoy the atmosphere the beautiful view of the ocean the lights the people in just a very healthy, wonderful lively environment. This is it. I wanna thank Miguel for being a wonderful waiter. Great job Miguel!!! be proud. I hope business owners recognizes your great work and effort in your dedication and your hard work that you put into your job Respectfully yours truly CHEF P RAMOS

    Strawberry & TUNA TARTAR
    Harry A.

    Huge shout out to Hector who recommended this place. I've passed by this restaurant dozens of times and we finally had the opportunity to experience it. The menu leaned more towards Italian cousins.... Obviously it's called Venice , Duhhhhh. He he he We really enjoyed the ambience here. Phenomenal e sitting out front on the Hollywood beach strip. The drinks are delicious, the tuna tar tar was fresh and very satisfying. Had to cut our lunch short , but we definitely will return soon and recommend Venice to anyone wondering if it's worth a shot. Totally worth it.

    Great morning views from the boardwalk - we enjoyed our breakfast. Our waitress was very nice and we were served quickly. Clean and nice beach vibes.

    So glad we went here for dinner! Service, atmosphere, food, and cocktails were all incredible. We spoke to the owner Christopher the day before coming and what a kind person! We had the meat lover's pizza and penne alla vodka and they couldn't have been better. Location right off the boardwalk. Must go at night for the ambiance!

    Rachel J.

    The ambiance is so wonderful being right on the beach under the stars! Very magical! The food had extremely tasteful selections, yet everything we tried was PARTIALLY phenomenal. I tried the tuna tartar and it was exceptional, the only thing that dragged this dish down was it being served with tortilla chips. That's not a good combination. Something that is thinner and more airy would have elevated this dish. We also tried the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and it was so creamy and flavorful! The only downside was that the chicken was soooooooo dry. I was disappointed by how much I payed for dry as chicken. Maybe you should use chicken thigh instead, it tends to stay more moist. The service was terrible. I had to ask another server to fill up our water and wasn't inclined to tip at all. This place had the potential to be INCREDIBLE yet they fell short on every dish, including the margarita.

    Pizza and drinks!
    Wendy H.

    Great service!!! The pizza was amazing and we had BOGO drinks - right on the beach with a fun vibe. Love the boardwalk too.

We seated at the front table since we were a larger party. It was hard to hear people talking. I felt like I was competing with the music speaker above us. We started with cocktails which were good. I got the limoncello martini. The basil made it really "earthy" and if ordering again, I'd skip. I wasn't too hungry so we did family style and shared. My favorite dish was the meatball and the sausage dish. I had higher expectations for the chicken parm. The arancini tasted a little burnt. That was my first time having it so I was surprised when I saw it basically looked like a meatball. Overall, a great night with friends. The pistachio cake was delicious!!

My wife and I dine here regularly, and every visit feels like coming home. The genuine hospitality and personal attention from the staff are what keep us coming back time and time again. The food is consistently outstanding. Whether we're trying a new dish or ordering one of our favorites, every meal is prepared with care, quality ingredients, and incredible attention to detail. You can tell there is a passion for great food behind everything that comes out of the kitchen. The bar program deserves special recognition as well. The bartenders work with fresh ingredients and premium spirits, and you can taste the difference immediately. Every cocktail is balanced, flavorful, and thoughtfully crafted rather than simply poured. It's clear they take as much pride in the drinks as the kitchen does in the food. The service team is equally impressive. The waitstaff is always friendly, attentive, and accommodating without ever making you feel rushed. They genuinely want you to enjoy your experience and go out of their way to make every visit memorable. The atmosphere is another reason this place stands out. The music is always perfectly curated, creating the ideal backdrop for an intimate dinner, date night, or evening out with friends. It strikes that rare balance of being lively and energetic while still allowing for conversation. What truly separates this restaurant from others is the sense of community. It's one of the few places where you're greeted with a hug when you arrive and often another when you leave. That level of warmth and authenticity simply can't be manufactured. If you're anywhere near South Florida, it's absolutely worth making the trip to Hollywood for an unforgettable dining experience. And whatever you do, don't leave without ordering the focaccia bread. It may sound simple, but it's one of the stars of the menu--fresh, flavorful, perfectly prepared, and the ideal way to start an exceptional meal. This is more than just a restaurant; it's a place where great food, great people, and great memories come together.

Tables are not scrunched together so you have room to talk privately. A big bar upon entry is perfect for drinks or dining. The servers are nicely dressed like a fine dining restaurant with manners to complement. Richard was our waiter and he exuded professionalism. I once took a friend here for a birthday dinner. We had drinks upstairs on the rooftop overlooking Young Circle and then descended to the lobby for our dinner in the nice air conditioned dining room. The food is very good. I've tried everything- pasta, fish, flatbreads, mozzarella bar, veal. It's always delicious and the prices are fair. The salads are fresh. Portions are satisfying. I love the fact that you can order pasta in a half portion if you want. The wine list is superb and again prices are not bad. Tonight we had a Justin Cabernet from Paso Robbles.

The vibes were amazing, the food was mouth watering, and service was outstanding. This second time, last night, was almost as amazing as the first time, minus our server being terrible. They even had a saxophone player which they didn't have last time so that was cool, but he never came up to our table. Everything I've ate and drank here has been amazing, and all the people I've introduced to it have also fallen in love. Will definitely be back yet again.
