I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are looking for Italian cuisine. Delicious food, descent wine list, romantic atmosphere! We came for dinner to celebrate my birthday. We got there kind of late for Denver... around 9:30 pm on Thursday... felt a little bit rushed, but it was understandable - they were about to close. We enjoyed a couple of bottles of wine, and a three course dinner. 5 stars!!!

As close as I have found to authentic NY Italian quality food. I have been to this Ristorante a few times and each time, my expectations have been more than satisfied. The pasta dishes have always tasted amazing. The bread is homemade and very good. If you can forget it is in a strip mall, you will be more than happy you entered! I have yet to have a bad eating experience here and the prices are affordable for the quantity you get. It was mobbed on a weekend night, so make sure you have reservation as well. Lunch is very easy to get a table though.

ONLY RACISTS EAT AT THIS PLACE. I witnessed something horrible at this place last night that was appalling. A party of approx 12 were seated in the bar area having a good time. Isn't that what you're suppose to do in a restaurant. Obviously, another patron did not think so. He had the audacity to verbally speak out to the party using fowl language and completely disrespecting the party. This idiot could have taken a different route of addressing his complaint by either asking the waiter or owner to ask the jolly party if they could tone it down. Then the owner insulted the party more by taking the side of the idiot. Did I mention that the majority of patrons were Caucasian, and the party of people were of mixed ethnicities. Aren't we in an age where same sex marriage is accepted, a school can have two homecoming queens, and people of all ethnicities can have a good time in a restaurant. I guess not at this place. What's makes it even sadder is that the owner is also a minority! Come on people, don't support this backwards ass place! And to the white racist piece of $&@?, you should be ashamed of yourself.

My family and I went here tonight and had a wonderful time. Our server, Victor, made this possible. Most of the food was wonderful. I wouldn't recommend the tuna carpaccio because it's rather tasteless and the rice came out lukewarm. However, our meals and desserts were wonderful. Considering how busy the restaurant was, I am absolutely amazed with the incredible service. The restaurant was very noisy and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with a hearing impairment (as one of our guests did). However, for anyone okay with the noise, I would highly recommend it. Again,I can't compliment Victor enough. If you request him, you will not be disappointed.

Highly recommend the sea bass and caprese salad with buffalo cheese. This place can match any of the best restaurants in los Angeles or Manhattan

Venice is absolutley incredible!!! I make sure to get there as much as possible. They have the most incredible Cioppino in Denver (and I am a Cioppino conneseur)! The management is wonderful and the waitstaff very pleasant. I usually go to the Holly location, but also enjoyed my one trip to the downtown Venice. I totally recommend!

Excellent food, very elegant, excellent waiter. I've been there several times, and always loved it. My only cautions, besides the slightly steep price, is that they tend to do the pasta and risotto too al-dente for my tastes: it tastes and feels a little raw in my mouth. But if you mention that to them, they take care of it and the flavors are wonderful.

We had a good but not outstanding experience at Venice. In summary: the quality of the food was good, the prices were a bit high, and the service was slow. We had an early 5:30 reservation and were the fourth table or so to be seated that evening. We were seated quickly, but without menus. The waiter asked us for drinks, but I didn't have the wine list. After getting our menus, I decided on a glass of Mosel riesling that was well priced at $7/pour. The apps seemed expensive, however, around a typical $12-$16 price point. I chose the mussels, which ended up being very good and served with a rich tomato sauce. After our starters came, however, the waiting began. I ordered the special gnocchi with lamb and mushroom sauce, my wife ordered a spicy shrimp pasta, and my daughters had the lobster ravioli and fettuccini alfredo. Now by this time the room was filling up, but we placed our entree orders when we ordered our apps and it still took a good 25 minutes from the time I finished my last mussel to the time my potato pasta showed up. At one point, our waiter said, "your food will be our in a few minutes" but it was still around 10 minutes when he came back with our plates. The girls' plates were all steaming hot, but my gnocchi was barely warm. The flavor was good at least. The best part of the experience was seeing a local restaurant that was absolutely packed on a Saturday night. This place has potential, if they can only manage time. When we left, there were people lined up out the door. No doubt, they could have turned our table over much earlier had they kept pace.

We were headed here for our company holiday lunch and after reading the reviews I was rather excited to experience good food, good atmosphere and an overall good experience. Boy was I set up for a disappointment. First off the wait staff is slow. We sat down and our drinks were ordered and after what seemed a long time the waiter returned asking if we were ready to order. Since we had no menus; that would be hard to do. After we received the menus he was back within 2 minutes asking again. Probably because the place was empty I initially thought we were subject to such attentive service. But that wasn't the case either as only food coming and order taking was the case. No refills, bread, water, etc... Appetizers seemed over priced, but we ordered two and were somewhat disappointed. The waiter described what each was, but upon tasting it was clear he was remiss in his descriptions. Two of us splurged and ordered the veal. It was luke warm when it arrived, and the small shaped mashed potato was cold. Veal by definition is a tender meat; but it was more like a chicken fried steak! The butter knife took some heavy use to cut through, it was tough and certainly not veal... The side of penne pomodoro, that was supposed to come with it arrived about 5 minutes after the initial meal, and was steaming hot. I have commented before about hot food, generally you want hot entrÃ©e's but there is a point where you wonder how they got it so hot. (Can you say microwave?) A small bowl of pena pasta that was so hot it steamed for over 5 minutes (we joked at the table taking bets how long it would stay steaming). Pasta sauce to my knowledge isn't cooked at a rolling boil is it? It was quite unfavorable and disappointing after you got over the initial mouth burn. Finally the garlic. I love garlic in my food, but WHOLE cloves hidden in your food? Several of us were quite taken aback by the discovery of these in our food. Overall disappointing, poor service and lack luster food for the prices.

Outstanding! The food was amazing and the service was good. We were greeted with champaign and a nice salmon appetizer as soon as we walked in the door. The owner helped us pick out a great bottle of wine. We will be back!

The best pasta in Denver, truly great sauces, and al dente preparation. Their salads are terrific, the spinach salad yummy. I had the flat noodles with mushrooms and Italian bacon in a cream/marinara sauce, it was incredible. The wine selection was very good. We were there on a buy night and still their service was stellar. Will go there many times more.

We have been to this WONDERFUL place a few times now and every time exceeds the last. The service is always top notch as well as the amazing italian food. This is how Italian should be done.

We celebrated our 33rd anniversary at this restaurant. We had a wonderful experience. From the hostess's greeting to the complimentary glasses of champagne at the end of our meal, all was perfect. The hostess was the right amount of friendly. The service was prompt, but not hurried. The drinks were generous. The martini was excellent. The food was delicious. To top it off, the restaurant is lovely. We wanted for nothing. We will happily recommend this restaurant to our friends.

Two Denver locations specialize in white tablecloth service and full course meals. A selection of tasting menus are available for indecisive diners. Given the preponderance of nice Italian restaurants in Denver, Venice is probably a bit overpriced.

Whenever I'm asked what my favorite restaurant is, this is my go-to response. Year after year it holds up. Try the Osso Bucco with whatever nice wine they recommend. Have the Limoncello aperitif. In a strip mall? Yes, a little odd. But after having the food, I truly don't care!

Its different than downtown-- I've written a review already on that one...but 1) the food is just better here. I'm not sure why, but it is. 2) the place is more personal. too. Everyone here is attentive, friendly, and extremely willing to bring you whatever you want. Wine, cocktails, after dinner drinks, salad, entrees, etc-- its all great. and its quick, and they bring you more until you are SO FULL that you have to essentially roll yourself out to the parking lot. I had great wine (they have a great big wine list), bread, a pear salad, chicken parmesan (a special Venice variety), a cappuccino, limoncello, peach-cello, and at this point, I'm not sure what else but it was all really amazing. The service, the food, the atmosphere, the staff-- its all topnotch. Oh, and there is a ton of free parking available too by the way. The only reason it isn't a 5- star for me is because I'm not sure I like the crowd...there were a few strange people there this evening...and not strange in an eclectic sort of way.... I also felt very young and more "hip" than the average diner. But what can I say-- we were in Greenwood Village. And yes, in a strip mall...

This place has an entirely different vibe than it's sister in LoDo. The space is chic and cozy, white banners swoon against the ceiling as Andrea Bocelli resonates throughout the room. The clientele is definitely older and it lacks the hipness the other embodies, but the food is still fantastic, service is spot on, and the environment is elegance elegance elegance. Also, they have a pear ravioli that the other menu does not...mmmmmmm. Wine list is decent, there are some yummy ones that are still affordable. The Carmel Road Pinot is one of my favorites!

We just don't get it. Other Yelp diners and our friends who joined us for lunch raved about Venice. That was not our experience. The food was entirely unremarkable and the service was equally bland. The meatballs were hard and dry and the lunch portion of the spaghetti was small. The salmon salad was bland - mixed baby greens, a couple slivers of zuchinni and salmon that was overdone. We had to ask for bread which also was hard and dry. It seemed to be an imposition on our waiter to proactively refill beverages. Overal it was a meh experience and one we will not repeat. I don't think our loyal friends will be back to Venice soon either.

Venice, Greenwood Village, seems more suited to group or account business than to individual dining. We dined there for the first time recently, midweek, and had a similar experience to Harvey L.: long waits after early arrival, good food but not great or gourmet, let alone organic, whole grain or otherwise health-conscious (no longer an extravagance!). This sort of advance is admittedly still not the rule, but most of us are tired of paying to search in vain for higher grade nutrition at restaurants. Expect high fat content here, by way of either meat or cheese in everything, incl. an otherwise nicely dressed salad. Appreciated decent artisan bread and fresh pasta (still oddly hard to find in many Denver Italian restaurants). We've eaten in big restaurant cities and know the difference. Venice is overpriced, overcrowded and deafeningly noisy. The bill came to over $100 for 1 cocktail, 2 glasses of wine, 2 salads and 2 ravioli plates (good, but lacking depth of stock flavor) and tip. This would be a perfect neighborhood eatery with fewer and smaller tables, and updated its approach to fresh, more vegetable-oriented, healthy well-made dishes (as one finds in Italy) at a more reasonable price.

This is some of the best Italian I have had since I left the East Coast 8 yrs ago. I lived in Boston and ate in the north end so I know Italian food! Plus I'm a Zappia! They are particularly great on Valentine's Day where the offer a fabulous menu for 2 that is like a little tour of Italy.

Been coming here for about 6 months now. Cant believe it took us this long to find this place. 5 star italian food and service. Christopher Robbins is the best waiter EVER. Treats you like your family. They also have a great bar while you wait for your table. Eating there again this Friday evening, cant wait.

This place is great for a nicer than usual business lunch (but still fast) or even a date night. The location is unexpected (stripmall, albeit a nice one)...but the service is great (if not a bit pretentious...they pushed their special steak menu at lunch). The portions are huge and the warm bread brought to the table before the meal is amazing. The presentation of each dish is pretty as well. Can't wait to go back & try their dinner.

I went to Venice Ristorante for restaurant week in August. Pros: It wasn't very crowded, the service was exceptional, menu was fantastic Cons: food was just okay. Ever since I went to Hawaii and ate at an Italian restaurant there, my expectations are much, much higher. This place isn't bad but I was underwhelmed. The best thing I ate there was the parmesan bowl the caesar salad was in. The tiramasu was good too. I don't know if I'd eat here again for restaurant week. I've been here two other times and enjoyed my experience more.

Who would've thought that there was a gem of an Italian restaurant hidden in a strip mall in Greenwood Village?! We had a work lunch here last week, and I still can't stop thinking about their pastas! I will admit that the menu is a little overwhelming. They have a whole page of daily specials built into the menu - or maybe that's their way of getting you to try something new, by calling it a "special." Anyway, that part was a little weird and confusing...and it didn't help that it was in Italian, but whatevs. I settled on a sausage pasta with a spicy marsala sauce, and yummers! I ate the whole thing and loved every bit of it. We had a pretty big group, but I thought the servers were really attentive and they used some extra hands to bring all of our dishes out at the same time, which was nice. I could see this being a neat little place to come back to for a mid-week dinner to enjoy a glass of vino (or two) with some yummy Italian fare.

Wife and I love this place! Tonight we were waited on Lane who did a fabulous job; but when we do come we ask for Eddie. King of the Hill waiter-known Eddie for years. You can't go wrong with anything here, food, service, atmosphere-what else do you need?! Food was fantastic!

Stellar food. Probably the best Italian food I've ever had. Their focus on seafood is mind blowing. I never thought I'd eat such great seafood in the middle of the States! Our server, Hugo, was hospitable and really knew his stuff. He can tell you what part of Italy each wine is from, as well as describe the menu offerings perfectly. I started with their salad, which was light and refreshing (probably due to cucumber) and gets an A+ for presentation. As an entree, I went with one of their many specials, the Cioppino - a seafood medley sitting in the most flavorful stew I've ever had. Not salty, great consistency.... it was just perfect. I skipped dessert, but did have a glass of limoncello and a cup of coffee. The limoncello was a perfect ending to an epic meal. My only regret was that I did not eat here again during my week long trip to Denver. If you are in the area, please do me a favor: eat here, take an enticing picture, and let me know so I can drool and become insanely jealous.

Food was amazing, one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had. Great atmosphere and really friendly staff. Only issue was that our table for two was too narrow, it barely fit our appetizer! Also wish they had more beer, but that's just a personal preference. Price was amazing for such a nice place, will definitely go back, but will ask for wider table

I went here with a group for dinner. I was not overly impressed with too many aspects of the restaurant. The hostess seemed a bit confused. Our server was a friendly old gentleman, but he had a nasty habit of disappearing for lengthy periods of time, not refilling water glasses, etc. The server who we did succeed in flagging down to fill water glasses managed to spill water over the sides of the glasses (and not just a little bit) in 4 out of 5 pours (which is pretty impressive in its own horrible way). I ordered the overpriced Caesar salad as a starter. This is romaine lettuce, homemade grissini, fried capers and shaved parmesan cheese tossed with homemade Caesar dressing; served on a parmesan basket. The dressing (the most important part of the dish, was rather bland. The parmesan tuile "bowl" was dense and extremely salty. For my main course, I went with Ravioli di Salsiccia (Homemade round ravioli filled with spicy Italian sausage, ricotta and parmesan; fresh tomatoes, sausage and wine sauce). This was six modest, under-filled, and rather tough ravioli. The sauce was okay. But it basically just tasted of pork and lots of salt. My meal, with tax and tip, was around $40. For this price, I expect much better food and service.

I have a love-hate relationship with this place. Love: we keep coming back because it is hands down the best food in our area of town. The pasta choices are always great, the meats are delicious, sauces are homemade delicious. The wait staff is experienced and pleasant. Hate: we would not even think of coming here without a reservation, which we typically make online via open table. The problem occurs when we arrive on time, but consistently have to wait 25-60 minutes to be seated. What good is a reservation? Also it is so noisy inside the packed restaurant that one must shout across the table to hear those sitting feet away. Congestion at the bar is so bad that it reminds me of an overpacked elevator with everyone holding a drink. These experiences have been consistent over our last 10 visits here, so I think it is fair to take my rating down a couple notches.

I have had the pleasure of eating at the DTC location and the downtown location. Props to downtown but the DTC location blows it out of the water. I had the same thing at both locations. The absolutely delicious fish stew. Its a robust tomato broth with clams, different fish, shrimp and calamari. The staff is super profesh and are always on hand for whatever you need. I will always recommend this place to anyone looking for a special delicious dinner that won't put you in the red. Go here!!! If its good enough for Peyton Manning, its good enough for you! (He goes here a lot!)

First off, I'd like to say that my fiance and I are big fans of the Venice downtown and like to take out of town company here for a nice meal. However, we've recently moved to the Tech Center and since it's the sister restaurant, we assumed that we'd have the same experience. Far from it. I'd also like to point out that part of this is very much my fault. My sister, visiting from out of town, and I had spent the day bridesmaid dress shopping. I have a fracture in a joint in my lower back and too much movement causes extreme discomfort. By the time we got home, I was bedridden. Determined not to ruin the night and cancel dinner, I decided to take a muscle relaxer before heading out, so that I could walk. I knew the meds would do the trick and thinking that I'd be balancing their potency with a heavy Italian meal, I thought it was the perfect solution. We arrived at 6:50 pm and had a 7 pm reservation. I was starting to feel queezy and dopey at about 7:10 (after waiting 20 minutes for our reservation). My sister went up to the counter to inquire about our table and was told that no one had yet left. However, a large homecoming party had come in and been seated as well as several regulars while we waited. By 7:20, I stumbled up to the host desk myself, queezy and dizzy due to the pain meds and told them that I had taken some medication that required food and that we had been waiting over 30 minutes for our table. I was told the same thing as my sister and not even offered a bread basket or appetizer at the bar (had I been more alert, I would have asked). Finally, at 7:40 after FIFTY minutes of waiting for our reservation, we cancelled and walked out. This is disgusting service and ruined what could have been a really lovely evening. I will never dine here, or rather ATTEMPT to dine here again.

This place was amazing! We were so pleased to be out of town and treated with such good manners from our server, Chris! The food was spectacular and the atmosphere was as good as it gets. We had a very large party which was accommodated greatly, we were walked through the menu and dishes as a group and one by one.

Kristen W.

Truly elegant and always delicious Italian fare. The service is impeccable and the simpler dishes are where this place shines. Simple pomodoro sauce exudes flavor and antipasto tray is delicious. The Cioppino is savory and the lobster ravioli sinful. Always a pleasure to visit the Greenwood Village location!

The food was delicious at Venice. If you like good Italian - give this place a try. 3 stars because of service. Wait staff was rude and had zero flexibility. There were at least 3 people that I saw while we ate there that had a server either spill water on, spill dishes on or even get hit in the head by a sever walking by. The employees did not look like they wanted to work there at all. Go for the food, but don't expect the service to match.

1 of 3 best Italian restaurants in Denver area. Its a sister of Chianti Restaurant in DTC. I had the chilean sea bass entree, Burratta caprese, and tiramisu. Great wine selection. Burrata "anything" is a favorite of mine. Venice's was creamy and delectable. The sea bass is simply amazing. I cannot describe it without doing it injustice. Its the second time I've ordered it, in the last year. Its moist, flaky, flavorful, and heaven.

Five stars for the food, one star for the service. Overall maybe two stars. My girlfriend and I have eaten here many times before and we have always enjoyed it. On this particular night the restaurant was very busy, but manageable. We were seated promptly at 8 o'clock, our reservation time, which was surprising given the fact that the restaurant was, as I said, packed. Our server really didn't pay much attention to us from the outset, as it took half an hour for us to get a bottle of wine and our salads came out at 9:00pm, a full hour after we were seated. This seems a bit excessive, even in a busy restaurant. He was having a great time with some of the other tables, however, chatting up a storm and having a grand old time with them. We were left to swing in the breeze. Thanks, buddy. The rest of the meal went better, but I never felt that we were really cared for as we have been in the past. To add insult to injury my credit card was charged twice. It's always a real treat to have to call the credit card company to straighten out someone else's mistake. Thanks, server guy, for this early Christmas gift! I'll give the restaurant a pass this time (not our server), as they were busy, but I'm not sure I will go back anytime soon. Advice to our server and all other servers like him: People are less interested in you and your personal opinions than they are in the service, the food, the ambiance, and the overall experience.

Great service and great food. Good attention to detail from the minute we were greeted by the hostess to the thank you with a warm handshake by the manager on our way out. Everything was perfect. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and made appropriate recommendations in both food and wine. The food was very good and the service pace was just right. Not too slow and not too rushed. We were pleasantly surprised when the waiter brought the chilled bottle at the end of our meal. I don't want to give up any more details. Will go back again for sure and I strongly recommend for a date night or a special evening with friends.

My wife and I are fairly regular diners at Venice. I would say that we have been there over 40 times in the past 5 years. The main reasons we come back time after time is due to the service and consistency! Nunzio (the GM that typically greets you at the door) always makes us feel welcome, and brings a ton of energy to the restaurant. The food is probably the best Italian food in Denver. Everything is made fresh (especially the pasta), and they rotate the specials on a regular basis to feature different flavors throughout the year. The owner/chef Alessandro Carollo produces truly authentic flavors from his home country. Our favorite menu items: Cioppino, Wild Boar Tagliatelle, the Sea Bass, and of course the Osso Buco (if it's on the menu that day). They have an excellent wine selection, along with educated servers. They seldom turnover staff which says a lot about their culture and focus. I highly recommend getting reservations before arrival. They are usually very busy, and you will typically experience a pretty long wait if you just walk in.

It's a pretty cool place to hang out for dinner. Their caesar was excellent n it came with an awesome cheese cracker. Their lamb was cooked to perfection with a light sauce. My entrÃ©e unfortunately was not as great. My lobster ravioli was undercooked leaving the pasta hard. The ice cream was good n simple. All n all it was not bad but nothing was good.

My husband and I and another couple ate at Venice for New Year's Eve. We had a 6:30 reservation and were seated right away. The rest of the evening didn't go quite so well. The waiter we had was a bit flippant when we asked about a drinks menu. Told us it was a full bar with typical drinks. Not very helpful. Ordered Calamari as an appetizer which was brought to us by someone other than our waiter. The calamari arrived but without the marinara sauce it comes with, so we had to wait for several minutes for that. Our waiter was not attentive at all, and probably didn't even know we had to wait on the sauce. The dish was average, at best. We all ordered a pasta dish, and I must say they were all very tasty. Our waiter disappeared and returned much later to see if we wanted dessert. The tables were on top of each other and it got very noisy as the evening progressed; we could barely hear each other at our own table. We were expecting much better service at what would be considered a fine restaurant. Needless to say, we were all quite disappointed.

Amazing food! I have been trying to find a great Italian restaurant since relocating to Denver and this place is it. Our server was extremely helpful going through the wine list and providing true, honest recommendations. Between the four of us we all got something different and we all loved our food. The buffalo mozarella was the best I have ever had, as with the fetuccini alfredo. Make sure to make reservations ahead of time as it can get pretty busy, especially on a weekend night. I highly recommend that you try this place!

Martine S.

The establishment is fantastic, the food excellent, the atmosphere exciting, the service from one waiter in particular (Chris Sr.) is HORRIFIC and that is putting it mildly. That one person has single handedly ruined more $150 meals for me than I care to count going back five years. He is a Misogynist, condescending, nasty old geezer who does not belong anywhere near a female customer. I finally broke down after last nights episode and called the establishment and told them I was letting this goofball have it on the internet and that I would sing his name from the rafters of the internet and anybody who would listen. I will continue to dine at Venice but I will NEVER EVER sit in this goofballs section again! EVER.

Venice is my favorite restaurant in Denver, but only Venice in Greenwood Village. There is a Venice down town and Chiantis also near DTC which are owned by the same owners and the food is superb at all of them along with the service. Although I will say the vibe at Venice in Greenwood Village is VERY different and a much better experience with a wonderful atmosphere. The food is also excellent along with the service. Triple thumbs up to the bartenders here who work super hard and make exquisite drinks while offering wonderful service and entertainment to guests at the bar. You will not find true Italian food with the service they offer here anywhere else in Denver or even Colorado. Must try!

We had our office Holiday luncheon at this location. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding, particularly with over 30 people in our party. I had the salmon with potatoes and spinach and it was delicious and cooked perfectly. The wine was delicious. My boss enjoyed our experience so much that we decided to book next year's holiday luncheon here.

We love this place! The best Italian food in Denver. Their food is always spectacular. We usually order one of the veal dishes. The nutella dessert is guaranteed to give you a foodgasm. The servers have been adequate in our opinion, and management has bent over backwards to be pleasant on more than one occasion. I will agree with other reviewers about the noise level being way too loud, and advise you to make a reservation.

I came her for a date night with the hubby, it was mediocre to say the least. We have gone to chianti several times and this was so disappointing in comparison to there.

Very nice Italian restaurant in an unassuming strip-mall in Greenwood Village. I've been here several times and have yet to be disappointed . The service has always been personal and friendly with that "old country" family Italian feel, the food has always been done perfectly and the portion sizes are generous. With apologies to all you PETA advocates out there: the veal scallopini is fantastic and I think the best offering on the menu. I have not spent a lot of time in Italy, but Venice certainly seems to rise to the top in the Denver area as far as a good pick for a genuine feeling and tasting Italian restaurant. Don't let the fact that this place just looks like an insurance agency from the outside turn you off. It's a gem and I haven't found any Italian in Denver that I have enjoyed more.

Reservations are absolutely meaningless at this place. We made reservations for dinner and showed up 5 minutes early, only to be told that they were running a little behind. A little turned in to 40 minutes, before the hostess called us to take us to our table. Only to find that the guy in the suit (Nunzio according to the pictures here) had decided that we weren't good enough for that table. He had someone else he wanted to seat there. When I asked him whey they bothered to take our reservation tonight, his response was: "I didn't take your reservation." I've dined at the downtown location a lot as I work very close by, and the food is great, but after this evening, I will never spend another dime at Venice. Based on my experience and the other reviews, this sounds like a place that caters to its regulars to an extreme. So, unless you're one of them, in which case you're probably not looking on yelp for reviews, STAY AWAY!!

Really nice experience in the middle of a strip mall. Once inside, you can forget all about it. Great service from professional waiters (not just someone putting themselves through school). The food was amazing. I had the Branzino special. For your sake, I hope they have it when you go; it was phenomenal. My wife's Ravioli Arogosto was also good, but the Branzino was amazing. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that the sauces, although they tasted great, appeared to use some thickener, which I really didn't care for. Maybe using some pasta water instead of corn starch or cream of tartar would work (I have no idea if that's what they used, but it's my guess as an amateur cook). Bravo! Will definitely be back here!

THE SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE!!! I have been to Venice before so I thought that this would be a nice place to celebrate a friends 92nd birthday. We arrived and the hostess was very nice and then from that point on it went down hill. The waiter always seemed in a hurray and he was always looking at other tables. He was very short with us, and honestly what was the rush since the restaurant was not packed. The only saving grace was that the food was good. I don't know if I would go back because the service was so bad. We did get a complimentary dessert to celebrate the birthday, but even then, the waiter was too busy to engage with us. It is sad that a bad experience can make you not want to go back to a restaurant.

First class service, ready to please! Slight problems with execution were resolved to our satisfaction. Having spent the Valentines week away from my sweetie, the night I returned made it up to her with a table at Venice, the original outlet of fine Italian restaurants in Denver. I remember when the original Venice was in a tiny hole in the wall now occupied by their sister restaurant, Chianti. This location has a traditional feel, but it's not quiet. The buzz created by couples and small groups adds to the flavor. Our server, Luis, was very attentive at first, but felt us two love birds should be left alone to gaze upon each other. Toward the end of our meal, this turned into a slight liability, as we were ready to settle up & leave, but Luis was hard to find. Once we were seated, two types of bread, water, and Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinegar dip was set. Our meal started with a nice glass of Chianti, paired to our Bufala Caprese appetizer, a tower of two types of Tomato layered with silky & smooth Buffalo Mozzarella. Around the plate was pesto and fresh basil leaves. Ripping the leaves, and additing to the stack gave this appetizer an excellent, complex flavor. For my main course, I went with the basic spaghetti & meatballs. Although the pasta was cooked perfectly, the meatballs were not very warm. Girlfriend had the Eggplant Ravioli, which she raved over, stating it was one of the best meals she'd had in a long time. Finding our server to rectify my problem was difficult. However, once we go his attention, he more than made up for it by offering dessert and a split of prosecco. Very nice ending to a wonderful meal!

Continue to make this one of our regular favs because they continue to deserve it. The back of the house, Chef Gabriel, has elevated the cuisine to superior. They will always customize my dishes to meet my healthy requests (high maintenance) and they still come out gourmet level. Rod the Bartender is one of the best in the biz and is amazing at handling the incredibly busy and popular crowd with ease. What makes this place even higher level, continues to be front of the house veteran, Nunzio Marino. What a pro. We go there and feel warm and welcomed, observe his top notch attention to detail, and as a bonus get to practice our italian while trying a variety of wines.

So I went here with a few friends to celebrate their recent marriage. I made a reservation using the Yelp app and under special comments I wrote "Have a special dessert prepared because they recently got married". We get there at 7 and the host was fairly rude, not even making eye contact while doing something behind the podium and pointedly saying "hang on one minute!!!". Eventually he asks why I'm standing there in front of him in the same tone and I tell him I have a reservation for 3 at 7pm. He manages to find it after a minute and takes us to the table. In the short walk he manages to forget who I am and has to ask again, this time kind of mumbling like he's embarrassed so I can't hear him over the odd assortment of blaring music and a TV set to ESPN. He gets snippy when I politely ask him what he just said and manage to tell him who I am before he hurries off. Our waiter arrives literally 5 seconds later and opens with "anything else besides water to drink" even though we just sat down and was handed our menus. Seriously, we haven't even had time to take off our coats and get settled, let alone look at any sort of menu. We tell him we're good for now and he hurries off in a huff too. We manage to order a few drinks, which he gets wrong before hurrying off again and ignoring one of my friends who was trying to order something. We would've called after him, but I think yelling "Hey you waiter with the glasses come back" might have been slightly inappropriate. He comes back later on, but it's obvious he's trying to get to each of his tables as fast as possible by rapidly looking at us and asking us what we want. I feel oddly pressured to order something just to get him to leave. Eventually, the night dies down and everything seems to slow down and he does become more personable and even kind of funny, but does that really excuse how you acted when you first came to us? The food was excellent though, so hats off to the chef. They were out of a few desserts which was fairly annoying. Oh and that special message I had written out didn't even really matter as it was never acknowledge. If I had to guess I'd say the busier it was there, the more hectic and chaotic everyone acted in the place, but once it calmed down it was pretty decent. So if you're thinking about going, try to pick a slow night so you'll get decent service and great food. Unless all you want is great food and lackluster service, but then I could happily suggest a few places for you if that's the case. Oh and it's super loud in this place. Like have to yell across the table to be heard by your other friends loud.

I called this place my kitchen when I worked and lived in the area many years ago. I had lunch here almost everyday. Everything was delicious. My favorite was the butternut ravioli with fried sage leaves. My second favorite was the seafood linguini. I'm unsure if it is still owned my the same people which is why they received four stars. The employees back then were terrific.

I expected better. I 'may' try this place again but I'm not sure since it was so disappointing. The reviews of this place are high - unfortunately like most Yelp reviews they are nearly useless. "Great place" is NOT A REVIEW - don't bother rating the place if you will do this. Here's how its done gang... Bang for the Buck: 2/5 for the reasons below Decor: 4/5 Nothing unique but simple and nicely done Ambiance: 3/5 Would be 4 but this place is packed in. No privacy, very due to a full room of customers eating / talking all at once. Service: 2/5 Bread came out 20 minutes after we were seated. Side dishes came out 5-10 minutes after the main entree. Food Quality: 5/5 I felt the quality was high and the care taken to prepare everything was excellent Food Quantity: 3/5 portion sizes for the prices were about right. The veal was small on the Veal Osso Bucco Food Flavor: 3/5 This is a mixed bag. Read the experience below to see exactly why Food Uniqueness & Creativity: 3/5 The dishes looked pretty normal for a place like this. I did not see anything that looked unique Last Experience... 01-28-2013 Veal Osso Bucco 1/5 The server highly recommended the Veal Osso Bucco. Said "It is off the charts"... hell no, it is totally on the charts and not even near the top. It was properly cooked (not over/under done) but the sauce was bland, one dimensional and I felt like I was eating veggie stew. The thing was SMOTHERED in a bunch of diced carrots and what not in a thick stew gravy. To make it worse it 95% covered the risotto so the risotto was now stew with rice. HORRIBLE ***stay away from this dish unless you want lamb & veggie stew! House salad 4/5 good flavor for the dressing, basic bag-o-greens, good portion, the cucumber bowl was nice Fettuccine Alfredo 3/5 pasta was done perfectly, sauce has a light but nice flavor. would have liked the sauce to be a bit thicker... I felt like it was a pasta soup. Bread with Oil & Vinegar 3/5 They said it was baked in house. Nice soft bread with a rustica crust. Enjoyable. They provide plain oil & vinegar with it - Lame. Add some spices or something.

I've had the pleasure of dining here for lunch a handful of times. Let's get past the cons: strip mall location, tables are too close together, and no happy hour (ok, that's just a personal con!!), and their horrific after dinner mints that taste like black licorice. But when the food comes...ah, the food...you forget all of that. The bread smells and tastes amazing- though I had to refrain from this course the last time I was there- it still entices with its aroma and the lovely olive oil and balsamic dish accompanies. In the past I have tried the wild boar pasta- delicious, the butternut squash ravioli- exquisite, and the salmon salad-outstanding! Yesterday the chef offered to make a special marsala sauce to accommodate gluten free. I thought that was amazing! However, I ended up opting for the salmon salad. I know you're thinking- an Italian restaurant? Why get a salad? Let me tell you a little something about this salad. The dressing is deliciously amazing. It's then topped with tomatoes and avocado and a balsamic soaked zucchini. The salmon is perfectly cooked and topped with a lovely basil cream sauce. It's just incredible. Even my non-salad eating husband said, "I would order that!" I think that says it all.

Nice restaurant with solid food, but somewhat pretentious pricing and average service. I went here recently for a business dinner and enjoyed the veal scallopini -- well prepared and nicely sized. I also had the Caesar salad in a flaky bread bowl, and that was good also. Nothing outstanding, but all of the food items were very good. Wine was somewhat overpriced for the labels I saw (Cline Zin at $10 a glass). Service was generally attentive, but there were some gaps in coverage and slight problems with delivery (for a group of 6, some folks were left waiting for a minute or two while the rest of us had food). This kind of thing is fine if you're at Chili's, but at a $25/entree place, this is the difference between a 4 and a 5 star rating (for me at least). Overall, the pricing struck me as a little bit out of kilter with the quality of the food and the service, but the food was good enough for me to want to return. May not be my favorite Italian restaurant ever, but it's good and one of the best I've found in the area.

Venice was really good! The atmosphere is a little weird being that it is in a strip mall but once inside it is pretty cozy. Great wine list and the food is just phenomenal! Service was pretty good, the host seemed a little confused about everything and wasn't super friendly. Our table was also teeny tiny but we managed. Even with a few little things off (ambience and such), the food is just so good we will be back!

My husband and I love our evenings at Venice and it's so nice to have it close to our Tech Center home. Our favorite spot is the bar and especially a table by the fireplace on a cold, snowy night. I love the folks that run this little spot -- so kind, considerate and eager to please. My absolute favorite dish is the wild boar pasta -- full of stick-to-your-bones flavor and a winter favorite. They also make a great vodka martini complete with blue-cheese olives. And I know this is a minor thing but I really love their bread basket -- they feature different types of bread, savory bread sticks and flat breads crusted with spices. We love their Tech Center sister, Chianti as well but it's a much smaller spot with no bar through they do serve wine and spirits. If you don't like sitting at a bar and prefer table service, Chianti will serve your Italian fix equally well.

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST UNLESS YOU ARE A RACIST!!!! Took my team - consisting of Nurse Managers/Business Administrators- to a team building event sponsored by the company we work for. We traveled from Los Angeles and Orange County to Denver for a training at the Inverness hotel. This establishment was recommended by hotel concierge and DaVita event coordinator. My assistant booked the reservation for dinner last night as a culminating celebration of our team's accomplishment. After ordering drinks, appetizers and dinner, we went about our business - talking and laughing. One of our core values was fun and we were living it. I asked the waiter if laughing and being merry is okay and he said it was acceptable since we were seated in the bar area - away from the main dining room. Before dinner was served, one of the customers shouted at my team disrespectfully and blurted " you (expletive) get the (expletive) out of here! This is a fine establishment!" The manager sided with this crude patron and we were asked to leave. This restaurant could have easily made $2000 tonight from our bill but instead catered to this person. This was clearly racially motivated. Other large groups in the main dining hall were as loud if not louder and my diverse group was the only group getting kicked out of the restaurant. As I asked for the bill, the owner said, do not pay for the bill. Well, since we ate the appetizers, I asked to pay for what we consumed. I stayed until the bill was handed to me. While waiting, the bartender called the police "since we didn't want to leave". One of the other costumers told me that I was a BITCH and to "get the (expletive) out of my area! You don't belong here!!!!!!" I paid for the bill and gave the server 20% tip. Left the place in a huff, for fear of being accused of anything else since the bartender called the police. NEVER in my entire life that I have been kicked out of a restaurant in California where I live or other states/countries I have traveled to! We conduct ourselves in a professional manner and truly appalled that this establishment harbors bigots and condones their behavior!!!!!!!!!!

I tried several appetizers and tastes from many entrees and the food was flawless. Hearty, well-executed Italian classics is what Venice does best. Prices are on the higher end, but you definitely get what you pay for. I highly recommend the veal osso bucco. It's simply amazing and will have you fantasizing about it for days after. We came with a large, boisterous group of 16 and the staff was able to accommodate us perfectly. The dining room was packed for a Saturday night, so you'll need to make reservations ahead of time. The perfect restaurant for any special occasion.

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants, but this last time was dreadful, from the rude hostess to the watery Alfredo sauce. The hostess took 5 minutes to show up. 3 different waiters saw me and wandered off (it was a tuesday night, they were not busy). When the hostess finally arrived she ignored me for several minutes. Finally she looked up an just stared at me. I asked her if I could eat and she just have me a blank stare like she had never seen a lone diner before. Then she asked if it was just me with a tone of incredulity. I asked the waiter to recommend a good Chianti. He just read the wine list and said well there's this or that one. The glass I randomly chose had no flavor. They did switch it out for another red blend which was nice but why was that other one even on the menu. For that matter, why is the wine list 10 pages long and include Australian, Spanish and Argentinian wines? I remember loving the fettuccine al pollo. It had so much flavor. Not this time. It was watery an flavorless. I doused it in pepper just so I could taste something. Oh and if your going to take a stab at conversational Italian, learn that grazzi means thank you.

Umm, this place is wonderful. I only ordered an entree to go but when I went in, I got a good look at the place and it is super nice inside. I ordered a squash ravioli which was delicious (a bit too sweet if you are not into that). It was nearing the line of tasting like a dessert but I still loved it. I plan to go back and dine in some day. It's pricey but seems to match the taste.

This is an excellent Italian restaurant choice in the upscale Denver suburb of Greenwood Village. Here, amidst the sponged faux terra cotta walls with muraled scenes from Italy, and the draped linen ceiling fabric to lower the high ceiling into a cozy, romantic space, with Andrea Bocelli arias driftig over the speakers, and business casual dressed tech execs and baby boomer professionals and medical care specialists with their dirty blonde trophy wives, is a great Italian ristorante with great food, a large range of true Italian selections, and great service. It has been open about 7 years in a brick built mall of convenience shops for the upper middle class. They have an extensive standard menu of 3 or 4 pages of great italian antipasto, insalatas. pesce, carne, primi piatti, and secondi piatti, but they also have a daily special menu with fresh selections in all categories. We came about 9:00pm on a Thursday (they serve dinners until 9:30 weekedays) and jumped right into my New York Italian dining partner and my favorites: Carpaccio and Caprese appetizers. Venice offers 3 different Carpaccios, and we got the middle one with arugula and truffle oil mixed with the paper thin filet mignon, capers, olive oil, dry parmesan slices and freshground pepper. ($13.95). The mozzarella bufala Caprese was stacked high with toimato slices, huge fresh basil leaves, and drizzled with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and fresh ground pepper. ($9.95) We ordered 2 today's pasta specials: Orrechiette con Salsiccia e Broccolini - ear shaped pasta sauted with italian sausage, broccoli, garlic, chili flakes, white wine, and a touch of marinara. ($16.95) Tagliatelle alla Boscaiola - imported Italaian ham sauteed with mushrroms, sweet peas, and cream, and finished with a touch of marinara tossed with egg noodle pasta and finished with parmesan cheese (($16.95) Dessert, of which they have about a dozen choices, was creme brulee topped with a strawberry and powdered sugar. Food and service were both great, and we had a great time talking about my friend's childhood growing up with the Italian "family" in Brooklyn New York over this wonderful dinner.

We dined at Venice Ristorante Italiano in Greenwood Village, CO on Wednesday, August 13, 2014. There were four of us. We all had some variation of the veal dishes, salads, and sides of vegetables and pasta. Three of us had a Produttori Barbaresco wine and one had a Chardonnay. The entire meal, for all four of us, was spectacular in very way. The veal, all agreed, was very flavorful and tender (a rarity in the Denver area). Pastas were perfect and served quite hot. Salads were fresh and creative in their presentation. Our waiter was Fiorenzo - - we plan to request him again next time we go. Fiorenzo is pure European meaning he takes his role as a waiter very seriously and clearly views it as a profession. He was superb from the beginning through the end of the meal. Always there, always attentive, but never too much. What a great meal!

I had lunch with a friend here last week and we really, really enjoyed it. It's in a weird location--in a strip mall but you really forget about that as soon as you go inside. It's very tastefully decorated and the food was very good. I have also eaten at their sister restaurant, Chianti, and found Venice to be superior. Everything, starting with the bread, was extremely fresh. We split a caesar salad and had entrees of ravioli stuffed with spicy sausage and spinach and then bolognese. The sauces are excellent and the pasta is homemade. A word of caution, not meant as a criticism: the pace is very leisurely, so if you are on bided time for lunch, keep that in mind. The service was fantastic and attentive. We definitely plan on returning!

Everything you want a restaurant to be! And definitely what you imagine a good Italian restaurant to be. This place is always, always bustling, but somehow they always get you right in. Service is wonderful--kind, knowledgeable, not pushy in the least. I ordered a marsala dish off the specials menu and it was out of this world, my husband had homemade ravioli, again off the specials menu, and he's still raving. The waiter brought us Limoncello! Just a wonderful place to spend a Friday or Saturday night, you'll come home happy.

Manager is really a nice guy. But check your bill. Nothing wrong with covering yourself and making sure you have the correct bill and have been charged for the correct items and keep the receipt! I just trusted the waiter and added tip. When I got my statement it was a very different amount. I'd thrown away the receipt. But both the bill and tip were higher. Someone changed the tip amount. Of course I have no way to prove this a month later, but I mentioned it to a friend and she told me they left their credit card by mistake and the waiter signed her husband's name and added a 20% tip. I think the restaurant has an honestly issue with their wait staff. Doesn't mean the whole crew is bad.

Ate here while traveling for work. If you are staying in or near the Inverness hotel in Englewood this place is just 7 minutes away. Excellent staff, atmosphere and amazing italian food. I had the vegetarian ravioli dish and it was quite delicious. Everyone in my party was very pleased with the food. The m a i t r e d' / manager came by to check on us and was very courteous (and damn was he well dressed). You can see his photo in the pix associated with this Yelp profile. Highly recommended.

Linguini Alfredo is fantastic. Osso buco is very tasty and tender. Appetizers are nice except for overcooked calamari. Salads are drowned in balsamic so be careful. Service is immaculate.

Looking for a place between pricey and cheap to have Birthday dinner for a new friend. I found Venice Ristorante Italiano and was very excited. I made reservations for dinner the morning of for 5:30 on a Saturday. We arrived and were greeted immediately and sat in a back room with only four total tables. Loved this since it was freezing and this room was as far away from the front door as you can get, very nice on their part. This place is gorgeous and represents such a classy atmosphere. Our server was Joey D. and he was fabulous. One person at our table mentioned being a little cold at the beginning of the meal (absolutely freezing outside). Joey D. brought over a warm napkin on a plate for her to warm up. Would another place do something like this? I don't think so, this was above and beyond. Joey D. asked us why we were there and we mentioned it was celebrating a Birthday. He offered up some complimentary champagne to celebrate. This was a very nice touch for the experience. So let me tell you about the food. At the end of our meal he even treated the table to small tastes of Lemoncello. Warm Bread Basket - Three different types with Olive Oil and Balsamic Champagne - Sweet and a perfect start to a Birthday dinner recommend by Joey D. House Salads - Wrapped with thinly slice cucumbers, arugula, walnuts, goat cheese and balanced perfectly Homemade Egg Noodles with Pulled Wild Boar - Pasta was aldente and the wild boar was tender and paired perfectly with the root vegetables and sauce. Special Seafood Dish - Every type of seafood possible, calamari, shrimp, mussels, and sea bass in a complimentary sauce - this is a great deal and if you're a seafood lover this dish is for you. Italian Sausage Ravioli - Beautiful plate and seasoned with love. Tiramisu - Wonderful plating and delicate Italian dessert Chocolate Hazelnut Crepes - Excellent flavor, only suggestion is that there was too much chocolate hazelnut spread, the amount of spread needs to be cut in half Lemon and Lime scented Custard - Wonderful flavors The menu is diverse so you can come as many times as you desire and get something different. The service is Four Seasons standard. Always there when needed without having to ask. Even saw the owner checking to make sure we were doing well. We talked for a long bit after we finished our meal and didn't feel rushed at all while chit chatting away. The only little quip to the evening was the woman refilling our water was in way too much of a rush, almost everytime she refilled our water she spilled water and ice cubes all over the table. The first time we overlooked it, but the third time we were thinking please slow down and actually aim for the glasses please. That may have taken off a half star but the service and food won us over to complete the experience at a full 5 stars!

Everything that I had was just wonderful. The Burrata and Prosciutto was the best I've ever had, just perfect. The bread is fresh and warm, crusty on the outside and soft in the center. The ravioli was cooked al dente and was very yummy. My husband's chicken was tender and tasty too. Gnocci was not on the menu and that made me a little sad. We also shared a bottle of wine and some fabulous tiramisu. It was a wonderful experience all around, the waitstaff was friendly and attentive. I would for sure come back for a special occassion!

This is the first "nice" restaurant my wife and I have gone to since moving to Colorado, and we were very pleased with our dinner there on a Thursday night. It's a little unusual to have a semi-fancy restaurant in a strip mall, but at least it means parking is easy! From start to finish, we had a wonderful evening at Venice. We made a reservation online with OpenTable and showed up 15 minutes early but were seated without any trouble. The ambiance was very pleasant - somewhat upscale, but not pretentious. We saw plenty of diners in jeans, but they fit right in with folks in blazers. Our waiter seemed to be actually Italian, and he was extremely friendly and helpful. As for the meal, we ordered a couple of glasses of red wine from their extensive wine list, and started with their Venezia appetizer sampler. The marinara sauce that came with the calamari in the sampler was especially good! We enjoyed the calamari, bruschetta, artichoke hearts, prosciutto and especially the tomato-basil-mozzarella slices. The crab cakes weren't great - a bit dry and too spicy - but the appetizer sampler was way more than enough (okay, too much) for the two of us. Next, we split the pear salad, which was plenty large enough for the two of us. The pears, greens and dressing worked well together. I personally liked the cheese on the salad, though it was too strong for my wife. For entrees, we both chose ravioli - sausage for me, butternut squash for her. I'd say the sausage ravioli was only okay, but the butternut squash was fantastic! They were both cooked al dente, which actually tasted slightly undercooked to me at first, but I think they were served exactly as intended. Of course, we couldn't leave without trying dessert - probably a bad decision for the waistline, since we were so full, but how could we resist? The tiramisu was all right, but actually a little disappointing. We also had the crepes filled with Nutella - now that's what I'm talking about! Oh, so good. They were served with some gelato that the menu said would be vanilla, but I'm pretty sure it was almond. It went very well with the warm crepes. So, while things weren't absolutely perfect, we had a wonderful time and a delicious meal and left stuffed to the gills. I've love to go back with a slightly larger group so that we could eat all of the appetizer platter!

Not enough great things can be said about this establishment. Great food, great service, and great drinks in a very unpretentious atmosphere where you truly feel valued as a guest!! I will be back and bring as many people that I can to show off this treasure to! This place is truly a who's who of the well known of Denver, from Peyton Manning to the heads of industry.

WAIT and WAIT and WAIT.... We dined at Venice with another couple who has visited previously. Even though we had a reservation, we had to wait to be seated for 20 minutes. The hostess staff was kind enough to serve all the waiting patrons prosecco while we waited. The food was great start to finish. Our waiter was courteous and knowledgeable about the menu but the service was slow throughout the entire night. We waited what seemed like forever for our drinks, salads, entrees, and desserts. Apparently, this is the first time the other couple had experienced such service. The staff did not seem to find anything out of the ordinary with it, though, never apologizing or mentioning it. We may be back if we find ourselves with a LONG night to kill and limitless patience.

Classy Italian restaurant witha comfortable atmosphere, helpful and attentive staff, and delicious authentic food. It's always a bit of a treat to come to Venice for dinner, but you'll often need reservations to do so: I've seen this place filled to capacity on the most random nights. I usually order one of the antipasti platters because they're well done and filled with a diverse array of delectable goodies. The menu has an extensive selection of meat dishes, with each type of meat having several different preparations. I would generally jump at the opportunity to have so many carnivorous options but at Venice (and most Italian restaurants), I tend to order a pasta dish. At Venice, my favorite is a spicy sausage tomato sauce. It's so good...you can really taste the ingredients and they all taste fresh. Most importantly, the sauce is finished with a bit of cream, which gives it this amazing velvety texture in your mouth, perfectly complementing the spicy sausage and tomatoes. Finished with a healthy pile of freshly grated parmiggiano reggiano, this dish is buonissimo!

Their description states first class Italian cuisine....which is pretty true. The food is very good. The service needs improvement, from the hostess to the table to the management addressing concerns. We had a reservation last night at 7pm. Upon check in at 6:55 we were told it would be "a few minutes." WE WERE SEATED AT 7:53! Almost an hour late! And not once were we addressed to clarify the delay. What was the point of a reservation? If we were even 20 minutes late, our reservation would have been void. The hostesses were less than friendly, almost inconvenienced, and didn't thank us for our patience when dropping us at our table - FINALLY! The server was not made aware of our delay so never even mentioned it. And the worst part, MANAGEMENT NEVER STOPPED BY OUR TABLE or personally apologized for the inconvenience! We were amazed at the level of disrespect toward customers. The service has been the one poor experience at Venice, either being acceptable or poor, never excellent. It's unfortunate that when a customer waits an hour for their reservation made weeks in advance, no one can take the time to apologize and address the matter.

I went there with my wife and 3 kids a few hours ago expecting something a little above average. I usually don't write reviews, but I really thought it was worth this time... The service provided by our server Alberto was awesome! He helped my kids chosing something from the regular menu, and the kids loved it! My wife and I chose the following from the 5280 Restaurant Week's menu: - 1st course: Calamaretti Fritti al Pesto (me) / Calamaretti Fritti al Pesto (wife) - 2nd course: Veal scaloppini with sautÃ©ed with wild mushrooms in a Marsala wine sauce (me) / Polletto ai Carciofini e Capperi (wife) -3rd course: Tiramisu (me) / Original cheesecake drizzled with fresh strawberry sauce (wife) I've never tasted better Italian food than this! It was delicious!!!

Wow what a diamond in the rough... I mean who thought there were actually creative delicious restaurants in the heart of suburbia. Maybe it won't be so bad moving down to the tech center hmm. Pulling up to the restaurant I was a little hesitant, I mean there is a grocery store in the same parking lot, but as soon as I walked in that all changed. It was a wonderful atmosphere with regal drapery coming down from the ceiling that accented the lofted ceilings. The staff was very friendly and seemed to get excited when I whispered the secret of my girlfriends b-day to the waiter. Well enough with the small talk I know you really want to hear about the goods. I personally can tell if an italian restaurant is good right off the bat, its all about the bread. Let me tell you this bread was perfect, just the right texture of the crust and perfect body. We started off with bruscetta and a split cesar salad. The tomatoes on the bruscetta were very refreshing and the cesar dressing was not overpowering. Next we moved on to lobster stuffed ravioli which thank goodness did not have an overly creamy sauce. My girlfriend had the chicken marsala... wow this was absolutely delicious which is saying a lot considering I am more of a pasta man. I will definitely be returning here. Enjoy

Wonderful classy Itialian restaurant in Colorado. The Calamaretti Fritti e Zucchine Fritte was a wonderful take on the traditional dish with a light crispy batter and a spicy sauce. The atmosphere was nice and service was excellent. The Ravioli di Gamberi was good but a little dry which was an unfortunate surprise for a meal that was otherwise perfect.

I went to Venice Ristorante for restaurant week in August. Pros: It wasn't very crowded, the service was exceptional, menu was fantastic Cons: food was just okay. Ever since I went to Hawaii and ate at an Italian restaurant there, my expectations are much, much higher. This place isn't bad but I was underwhelmed. The best thing I ate there was the parmesan bowl the caesar salad was in. The tiramasu was good too. I don't know if I'd eat here again for restaurant week. I've been here two other times and enjoyed my experience more.

Been coming here for about 6 months now. Cant believe it took us this long to find this place. 5 star italian food and service. Christopher Robbins is the best waiter EVER.

This place is great for a nicer than usual business lunch (but still fast) or even a date night. The location is unexpected (stripmall, albeit a nice one)...but the service is great (if not a bit pretentious...they pushed their special steak menu at lunch). The portions are huge and the warm bread brought to the table before the meal is amazing. The presentation of each dish is pretty as well. Can't wait to go back & try their dinner.

Who would've thought that there was a gem of an Italian restaurant hidden in a strip mall in Greenwood Village?! We had a work lunch here last week, and I still can't stop thinking about their pastas! I will admit that the menu is a little overwhelming. They have a whole page of daily specials built into the menu - or maybe that's their way of getting you to try something new, by calling it a "special." Anyway, that part was a little weird and confusing...and it didn't help that it was in Italian, but whatevs. I settled on a sausage pasta with a spicy marsala sauce, and yummers! I ate the whole thing and loved every bit of it. We had a pretty big group, but I thought the servers were really attentive and they used some extra hands to bring all of our dishes out at the same time, which was nice. I could see this being a neat little place to come back to for a mid-week dinner to enjoy a glass of vino (or two) with some yummy Italian fare.

Wife and I love this place! Tonight we were waited on Lane who did a fabulous job; but when we do come we ask for Eddie. King of the Hill waiter-known Eddie for years. You can't go wrong with anything here, food, service, atmosphere-what else do you need?! Food was fantastic!

Stellar food. Probably the best Italian food I've ever had. Their focus on seafood is mind blowing. I never thought I'd eat such great seafood in the middle of the States! Our server, Hugo, was hospitable and really knew his stuff. He can tell you what part of Italy each wine is from, as well as describe the menu offerings perfectly. I started with their salad, which was light and refreshing (probably due to cucumber) and gets an A+ for presentation. As an entree, I went with one of their many specials, the Cioppino - a seafood medley sitting in the most flavorful stew I've ever had. Not salty, great consistency.... it was just perfect. I skipped dessert, but did have a glass of limoncello and a cup of coffee. The limoncello was a perfect ending to an epic meal. My only regret was that I did not eat here again during my week long trip to Denver. If you are in the area, please do me a favor: eat here, take an enticing picture, and let me know so I can drool and become insanely jealous.

Food was amazing, one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had. Great atmosphere and really friendly staff. Only issue was that our table for two was too narrow, it barely fit our appetizer! Also wish they had more beer, but that's just a personal preference. Price was amazing for such a nice place, will definitely go back, but will ask for wider table

I went here with a group for dinner. I was not overly impressed with too many aspects of the restaurant. The hostess seemed a bit confused. Our server was a friendly old gentleman, but he had a nasty habit of disappearing for lengthy periods of time, not refilling water glasses, etc. The server who we did succeed in flagging down to fill water glasses managed to spill water over the sides of the glasses (and not just a little bit) in 4 out of 5 pours (which is pretty impressive in its own horrible way). I ordered the overpriced Caesar salad as a starter. This is romaine lettuce, homemade grissini, fried capers and shaved parmesan cheese tossed with homemade Caesar dressing; served on a parmesan basket. The dressing (the most important part of the dish, was rather bland. The parmesan tuile "bowl" was dense and extremely salty. For my main course, I went with Ravioli di Salsiccia (Homemade round ravioli filled with spicy Italian sausage, ricotta and parmesan; fresh tomatoes, sausage and wine sauce). This was six modest, under-filled, and rather tough ravioli. The sauce was okay. But it basically just tasted of pork and lots of salt. My meal, with tax and tip, was around $40. For this price, I expect much better food and service.

I have a love-hate relationship with this place. Love: we keep coming back because it is hands down the best food in our area of town. The pasta choices are always great, the meats are delicious, sauces are homemade delicious. The wait staff is experienced and pleasant. Hate: we would not even think of coming here without a reservation, which we typically make online via open table. The problem occurs when we arrive on time, but consistently have to wait 25-60 minutes to be seated. What good is a reservation? Also it is so noisy inside the packed restaurant that one must shout across the table to hear those sitting feet away. Congestion at the bar is so bad that it reminds me of an overpacked elevator with everyone holding a drink. These experiences have been consistent over our last 10 visits here, so I think it is fair to take my rating down a couple notches.

I have had the pleasure of eating at the DTC location and the downtown location. Props to downtown but the DTC location blows it out of the water. I had the same thing at both locations. The absolutely delicious fish stew. Its a robust tomato broth with clams, different fish, shrimp and calamari. The staff is super profesh and are always on hand for whatever you need. I will always recommend this place to anyone looking for a special delicious dinner that won't put you in the red. Go here!!! If its good enough for Peyton Manning, its good enough for you! (He goes here a lot!)

First off, I'd like to say that my fiance and I are big fans of the Venice downtown and like to take out of town company here for a nice meal. However, we've recently moved to the Tech Center and since it's the sister restaurant, we assumed that we'd have the same experience. Far from it. I'd also like to point out that part of this is very much my fault. My sister, visiting from out of town, and I had spent the day bridesmaid dress shopping. I have a fracture in a joint in my lower back and too much movement causes extreme discomfort. By the time we got home, I was bedridden. Determined not to ruin the night and cancel dinner, I decided to take a muscle relaxer before heading out, so that I could walk. I knew the meds would do the trick and thinking that I'd be balancing their potency with a heavy Italian meal, I thought it was the perfect solution. We arrived at 6:50 pm and had a 7 pm reservation. I was starting to feel queezy and dopey at about 7:10 (after waiting 20 minutes for our reservation). My sister went up to the counter to inquire about our table and was told that no one had yet left. However, a large homecoming party had come in and been seated as well as several regulars while we waited. By 7:20, I stumbled up to the host desk myself, queezy and dizzy due to the pain meds and told them that I had taken some medication that required food and that we had been waiting over 30 minutes for our table. I was told the same thing as my sister and not even offered a bread basket or appetizer at the bar (had I been more alert, I would have asked). Finally, at 7:40 after FIFTY minutes of waiting for our reservation, we cancelled and walked out. This is disgusting service and ruined what could have been a really lovely evening. I will never dine here, or rather ATTEMPT to dine here again.

This place was amazing! We were so pleased to be out of town and treated with such good manners from our server, Chris! The food was spectacular and the atmosphere was as good as it gets. We had a very large party which was accommodated greatly, we were walked through the menu and dishes as a group and one by one.

Truly elegant and always delicious Italian fare. The service is impeccable and the simpler dishes are where this place shines. Simple pomodoro sauce exudes flavor and antipasto tray is delicious. The Cioppino is savory and the lobster ravioli sinful. Always a pleasure to visit the Greenwood Village location!

The food was delicious at Venice. If you like good Italian - give this place a try. 3 stars because of service. Wait staff was rude and had zero flexibility. There were at least 3 people that I saw while we ate there that had a server either spill water on, spill dishes on or even get hit in the head by a sever walking by. The employees did not look like they wanted to work there at all. Go for the food, but don't expect the service to match.

1 of 3 best Italian restaurants in Denver area. Its a sister of Chianti Restaurant in DTC. I had the chilean sea bass entree, Burratta caprese, and tiramisu. Great wine selection. Burrata "anything" is a favorite of mine. Venice's was creamy and delectable. The sea bass is simply amazing. I cannot describe it without doing it injustice. Its the second time I've ordered it, in the last year. Its moist, flaky, flavorful, and heaven.

Five stars for the food, one star for the service. Overall maybe two stars. My girlfriend and I have eaten here many times before and we have always enjoyed it. On this particular night the restaurant was very busy, but manageable. We were seated promptly at 8 o'clock, our reservation time, which was surprising given the fact that the restaurant was, as I said, packed. Our server really didn't pay much attention to us from the outset, as it took half an hour for us to get a bottle of wine and our salads came out at 9:00pm, a full hour after we were seated. This seems a bit excessive, even in a busy restaurant. He was having a great time with some of the other tables, however, chatting up a storm and having a grand old time with them. We were left to swing in the breeze. Thanks, buddy. The rest of the meal went better, but I never felt that we were really cared for as we have been in the past. To add insult to injury my credit card was charged twice. It's always a real treat to have to call the credit card company to straighten out someone else's mistake. Thanks, server guy, for this early Christmas gift! I'll give the restaurant a pass this time (not our server), as they were busy, but I'm not sure I will go back anytime soon. Advice to our server and all other servers like him: People are less interested in you and your personal opinions than they are in the service, the food, the ambiance, and the overall experience.

Great service and great food. Good attention to detail from the minute we were greeted by the hostess to the thank you with a warm handshake by the manager on our way out. Everything was perfect. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and made appropriate recommendations in both food and wine. The food was very good and the service pace was just right. Not too slow and not too rushed. We were pleasantly surprised when the waiter brought the chilled bottle at the end of our meal. I don't want to give up any more details. Will go back again for sure and I strongly recommend for a date night or a special evening with friends.

My wife and I are fairly regular diners at Venice. I would say that we have been there over 40 times in the past 5 years. The main reasons we come back time after time is due to the service and consistency! Nunzio (the GM that typically greets you at the door) always makes us feel welcome, and brings a ton of energy to the restaurant. The food is probably the best Italian food in Denver. Everything is made fresh (especially the pasta), and they rotate the specials on a regular basis to feature different flavors throughout the year. The owner/chef Alessandro Carollo produces truly authentic flavors from his home country. Our favorite menu items: Cioppino, Wild Boar Tagliatelle, the Sea Bass, and of course the Osso Buco (if it's on the menu that day). They have an excellent wine selection, along with educated servers. They seldom turnover staff which says a lot about their culture and focus. I highly recommend getting reservations before arrival. They are usually very busy, and you will typically experience a pretty long wait if you just walk in.

It's a pretty cool place to hang out for dinner. Their caesar was excellent n it came with an awesome cheese cracker. Their lamb was cooked to perfection with a light sauce. My entrÃ©e unfortunately was not as great. My lobster ravioli was undercooked leaving the pasta hard. The ice cream was good n simple. All n all it was not bad but nothing was good.

My husband and I and another couple ate at Venice for New Year's Eve. We had a 6:30 reservation and were seated right away. The rest of the evening didn't go quite so well. The waiter we had was a bit flippant when we asked about a drinks menu. Told us it was a full bar with typical drinks. Not very helpful. Ordered Calamari as an appetizer which was brought to us by someone other than our waiter. The calamari arrived but without the marinara sauce it comes with, so we had to wait for several minutes for that. Our waiter was not attentive at all, and probably didn't even know we had to wait on the sauce. The dish was average, at best. We all ordered a pasta dish, and I must say they were all very tasty. Our waiter disappeared and returned much later to see if we wanted dessert. The tables were on top of each other and it got very noisy as the evening progressed; we could barely hear each other at our own table. We were expecting much better service at what would be considered a fine restaurant. Needless to say, we were all quite disappointed.

Amazing food! I have been trying to find a great Italian restaurant since relocating to Denver and this place is it. Our server was extremely helpful going through the wine list and providing true, honest recommendations. Between the four of us we all got something different and we all loved our food. The buffalo mozarella was the best I have ever had, as with the fetuccini alfredo. Make sure to make reservations ahead of time as it can get pretty busy, especially on a weekend night. I highly recommend that you try this place!

Martine S.

The establishment is fantastic, the food excellent, the atmosphere exciting, the service from one waiter in particular (Chris Sr.) is HORRIFIC and that is putting it mildly. That one person has single handedly ruined more $150 meals for me than I care to count going back five years. He is a Misogynist, condescending, nasty old geezer who does not belong anywhere near a female customer. I finally broke down after last nights episode and called the establishment and told them I was letting this goofball have it on the internet and that I would sing his name from the rafters of the internet and anybody who would listen. I will continue to dine at Venice but I will NEVER EVER sit in this goofballs section again! EVER.

Venice is my favorite restaurant in Denver, but only Venice in Greenwood Village. There is a Venice down town and Chiantis also near DTC which are owned by the same owners and the food is superb at all of them along with the service. Although I will say the vibe at Venice in Greenwood Village is VERY different and a much better experience with a wonderful atmosphere. The food is also excellent along with the service. Triple thumbs up to the bartenders here who work super hard and make exquisite drinks while offering wonderful service and entertainment to guests at the bar. You will not find true Italian food with the service they offer here anywhere else in Denver or even Colorado. Must try!

We had our office Holiday luncheon at this location. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding, particularly with over 30 people in our party. I had the salmon with potatoes and spinach and it was delicious and cooked perfectly. The wine was delicious. My boss enjoyed our experience so much that we decided to book next year's holiday luncheon here.

We love this place! The best Italian food in Denver. Their food is always spectacular. We usually order one of the veal dishes. The nutella dessert is guaranteed to give you a foodgasm. The servers have been adequate in our opinion, and management has bent over backwards to be pleasant on more than one occasion. I will agree with other reviewers about the noise level being way too loud, and advise you to make a reservation.

I came her for a date night with the hubby, it was mediocre to say the least. We have gone to chianti several times and this was so disappointing in comparison to there. I know it's the same company but venices menu is from the 80s and just not fantastic italian food. Chianti will be our only choice from here on...

Very nice Italian restaurant in an unassuming strip-mall in Greenwood Village. I've been here several times and have yet to be disappointed . The service has always been personal and friendly with that "old country" family Italian feel, the food has always been done perfectly and the portion sizes are generous. With apologies to all you PETA advocates out there: the veal scallopini is fantastic and I think the best offering on the menu. I have not spent a lot of time in Italy, but Venice certainly seems to rise to the top in the Denver area as far as a good pick for a genuine feeling and tasting Italian restaurant. Don't let the fact that this place just looks like an insurance agency from the outside turn you off. It's a gem and I haven't found any Italian in Denver that I have enjoyed more.

Reservations are absolutely meaningless at this place. We made reservations for dinner and showed up 5 minutes early, only to be told that they were running a little behind. A little turned in to 40 minutes, before the hostess called us to take us to our table. Only to find that the guy in the suit (Nunzio according to the pictures here) had decided that we weren't good enough for that table. He had someone else he wanted to seat there. When I asked him whey they bothered to take our reservation tonight, his response was: "I didn't take your reservation." I've dined at the downtown location a lot as I work very close by, and the food is great, but after this evening, I will never spend another dime at Venice. Based on my experience and the other reviews, this sounds like a place that caters to its regulars to an extreme. So, unless you're one of them, in which case you're probably not looking on yelp for reviews, STAY AWAY!!

Really nice experience in the middle of a strip mall. Once inside, you can forget all about it. Great service from professional waiters (not just someone putting themselves through school). The food was amazing. I had the Branzino special. For your sake, I hope they have it when you go; it was phenomenal. My wife's Ravioli Arogosto was also good, but the Branzino was amazing. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that the sauces, although they tasted great, appeared to use some thickener, which I really didn't care for. Maybe using some pasta water instead of corn starch or cream of tartar would work (I have no idea if that's what they used, but it's my guess as an amateur cook). Bravo! Will definitely be back here!

THE SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE!!! I have been to Venice before so I thought that this would be a nice place to celebrate a friends 92nd birthday. We arrived and the hostess was very nice and then from that point on it went down hill. The waiter always seemed in a hurray and he was always looking at other tables. He was very short with us, and honestly what was the rush since the restaurant was not packed. The only saving grace was that the food was good. I don't know if I would go back because the service was so bad. We did get a complimentary dessert to celebrate the birthday, but even then, the waiter was too busy to engage with us. It is sad that a bad experience can make you not want to go back to a restaurant.

First class service, ready to please! Slight problems with execution were resolved to our satisfaction. Having spent the Valentines week away from my sweetie, the night I returned made it up to her with a table at Venice, the original outlet of fine Italian restaurants in Denver. I remember when the original Venice was in a tiny hole in the wall now occupied by their sister restaurant, Chianti. This location has a traditional feel, but it's not quiet. The buzz created by couples and small groups adds to the flavor. Our server, Luis, was very attentive at first, but felt us two love birds should be left alone to gaze upon each other. Toward the end of our meal, this turned into a slight liability, as we were ready to settle up & leave, but Luis was hard to find. Once we were seated, two types of bread, water, and Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinegar dip was set. Our meal started with a nice glass of Chianti, paired to our Bufala Caprese appetizer, a tower of two types of Tomato layered with silky & smooth Buffalo Mozzarella. Around the plate was pesto and fresh basil leaves. Ripping the leaves, and additing to the stack gave this appetizer an excellent, complex flavor. For my main course, I went with the basic spaghetti & meatballs. Although the pasta was cooked perfectly, the meatballs were not very warm. Girlfriend had the Eggplant Ravioli, which she raved over, stating it was one of the best meals she'd had in a long time. Finding our server to rectify my problem was difficult. However, once we go his attention, he more than made up for it by offering dessert and a split of prosecco. Very nice ending to a wonderful meal!

I called this place my kitchen when I worked and lived in the area many years ago. I had lunch here almost everyday. Everything was delicious. My favorite was the butternut ravioli with fried sage leaves. My second favorite was the seafood linguini. I'm unsure if it is still owned my the same people which is why they received four stars. The employees back then were terrific.

Nice restaurant with solid food, but somewhat pretentious pricing and average service. I went here recently for a business dinner and enjoyed the veal scallopini -- well prepared and nicely sized. I also had the Caesar salad in a flaky bread bowl, and that was good also. Nothing outstanding, but all of the food items were very good. Wine was somewhat overpriced for the labels I saw (Cline Zin at $10 a glass). Service was generally attentive, but there were some gaps in coverage and slight problems with delivery (for a group of 6, some folks were left waiting for a minute or two while the rest of us had food). This kind of thing is fine if you're at Chili's, but at a $25/entree place, this is the difference between a 4 and a 5 star rating (for me at least). Overall, the pricing struck me as a little bit out of kilter with the quality of the food and the service, but the food was good enough for me to want to return. May not be my favorite Italian restaurant ever, but it's good and one of the best I've found in the area.

So I went here with a few friends to celebrate their recent marriage. I made a reservation using the Yelp app and under special comments I wrote "Have a special dessert prepared because they recently got married". We get there at 7 and the host was fairly rude, not even making eye contact while doing something behind the podium and pointedly saying "hang on one minute!!!". Eventually he asks why I'm standing there in front of him in the same tone and I tell him I have a reservation for 3 at 7pm. He manages to find it after a minute and takes us to the table. In the short walk he manages to forget who I am and has to ask again, this time kind of mumbling like he's embarrassed so I can't hear him over the odd assortment of blaring music and a TV set to ESPN. He gets snippy when I politely ask him what he just said and manage to tell him who I am before he hurries off. Our waiter arrives literally 5 seconds later and opens with "anything else besides water to drink" even though we just sat down and was handed our menus. Seriously, we haven't even had time to take off our coats and get settled, let alone look at any sort of menu. We tell him we're good for now and he hurries off in a huff too. We manage to order a few drinks, which he gets wrong before hurrying off again and ignoring one of my friends who was trying to order something. We would've called after him, but I think yelling "Hey you waiter with the glasses come back" might have been slightly inappropriate. He comes back later on, but it's obvious he's trying to get to each of his tables as fast as possible by rapidly looking at us and asking us what we want. I feel oddly pressured to order something just to get him to leave. Eventually, the night dies down and everything seems to slow down and he does become more personable and even kind of funny, but does that really excuse how you acted when you first came to us? The food was excellent though, so hats off to the chef. They were out of a few desserts which was fairly annoying. Oh and that special message I had written out didn't even really matter as it was never acknowledge. If I had to guess I'd say the busier it was there, the more hectic and chaotic everyone acted in the place, but once it calmed down it was pretty decent. So if you're thinking about going, try to pick a slow night so you'll get decent service and great food. Unless all you want is great food and lackluster service, but then I could happily suggest a few places for you if that's the case. Oh and it's super loud in this place. Like have to yell across the table to be heard by your other friends loud.

Venice was really good! The atmosphere is a little weird being that it is in a strip mall but once inside it is pretty cozy. Great wine list and the food is just phenomenal! Service was pretty good, the host seemed a little confused about everything and wasn't super friendly. Our table was also teeny tiny but we managed. Even with a few little things off (ambience and such), the food is just so good we will be back!

I expected better. I 'may' try this place again but I'm not sure since it was so disappointing. The reviews of this place are high - unfortunately like most Yelp reviews they are nearly useless. "Great place" is NOT A REVIEW - don't bother rating the place if you will do this. Here's how its done gang... Bang for the Buck: 2/5 for the reasons below Decor: 4/5 Nothing unique but simple and nicely done Ambiance: 3/5 Would be 4 but this place is packed in. No privacy, very due to a full room of customers eating / talking all at once. Service: 2/5 Bread came out 20 minutes after we were seated. Side dishes came out 5-10 minutes after the main entree. Food Quality: 5/5 I felt the quality was high and the care taken to prepare everything was excellent Food Quantity: 3/5 portion sizes for the prices were about right. The veal was small on the Veal Osso Bucco Food Flavor: 3/5 This is a mixed bag. Read the experience below to see exactly why Food Uniqueness & Creativity: 3/5 The dishes looked pretty normal for a place like this. I did not see anything that looked unique Last Experience... 01-28-2013 Veal Osso Bucco 1/5 The server highly recommended the Veal Osso Bucco. Said "It is off the charts"... hell no, it is totally on the charts and not even near the top. It was properly cooked (not over/under done) but the sauce was bland, one dimensional and I felt like I was eating veggie stew. The thing was SMOTHERED in a bunch of diced carrots and what not in a thick stew gravy. To make it worse it 95% covered the risotto so the risotto was now stew with rice. HORRIBLE ***stay away from this dish unless you want lamb & veggie stew! House salad 4/5 good flavor for the dressing, basic bag-o-greens, good portion, the cucumber bowl was nice Fettuccine Alfredo 3/5 pasta was done perfectly, sauce has a light but nice flavor. would have liked the sauce to be a bit thicker... I felt like it was a pasta soup. Bread with Oil & Vinegar 3/5 They said it was baked in house. Nice soft bread with a rustica crust. Enjoyable. They provide plain oil & vinegar with it - Lame. Add some spices or something.

I've had the pleasure of dining here for lunch a handful of times. Let's get past the cons: strip mall location, tables are too close together, and no happy hour (ok, that's just a personal con!!), and their horrific after dinner mints that taste like black licorice. But when the food comes...ah, the food...you forget all of that. The bread smells and tastes amazing- though I had to refrain from this course the last time I was there- it still entices with its aroma and the lovely olive oil and balsamic dish accompanies. In the past I have tried the wild boar pasta- delicious, the butternut squash ravioli- exquisite, and the salmon salad-outstanding! Yesterday the chef offered to make a special marsala sauce to accommodate gluten free. I thought that was amazing! However, I ended up opting for the salmon salad. I know you're thinking- an Italian restaurant? Why get a salad? Let me tell you a little something about this salad. The dressing is deliciously amazing. It's then topped with tomatoes and avocado and a balsamic soaked zucchini. The salmon is perfectly cooked and topped with a lovely basil cream sauce. It's just incredible. Even my non-salad eating husband said, "I would order that!" I think that says it all.

My husband and I love our evenings at Venice and it's so nice to have it close to our Tech Center home. Our favorite spot is the bar and especially a table by the fireplace on a cold, snowy night. I love the folks that run this little spot -- so kind, considerate and eager to please. My absolute favorite dish is the wild boar pasta -- full of stick-to-your-bones flavor and a winter favorite. They also make a great vodka martini complete with blue-cheese olives. And I know this is a minor thing but I really love their bread basket -- they feature different types of bread, savory bread sticks and flat breads crusted with spices. We love their Tech Center sister, Chianti as well but it's a much smaller spot with no bar through they do serve wine and spirits. If you don't like sitting at a bar and prefer table service, Chianti will serve your Italian fix equally well.

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST UNLESS YOU ARE A RACIST!!!! Took my team - consisting of Nurse Managers/Business Administrators- to a team building event sponsored by the company we work for. We traveled from Los Angeles and Orange County to Denver for a training at the Inverness hotel. This establishment was recommended by hotel concierge and DaVita event coordinator. My assistant booked the reservation for dinner last night as a culminating celebration of our team's accomplishment. After ordering drinks, appetizers and dinner, we went about our business - talking and laughing. One of our core values was fun and we were living it. I asked the waiter if laughing and being merry is okay and he said it was acceptable since we were seated in the bar area - away from the main dining room. Before dinner was served, one of the customers shouted at my team disrespectfully and blurted " you (expletive) get the (expletive) out of here! This is a fine establishment!" The manager sided with this crude patron and we were asked to leave. This restaurant could have easily made $2000 tonight from our bill but instead catered to this person. This was clearly racially motivated. Other large groups in the main dining hall were as loud if not louder and my diverse group was the only group getting kicked out of the restaurant. As I asked for the bill, the owner said, do not pay for the bill. Well, since we ate the appetizers, I asked to pay for what we consumed. I stayed until the bill was handed to me. While waiting, the bartender called the police "since we didn't want to leave". One of the other costumers told me that I was a BITCH and to "get the (expletive) out of my area! You don't belong here!!!!!!" I paid for the bill and gave the server 20% tip. Left the place in a huff, for fear of being accused of anything else since the bartender called the police. NEVER in my entire life that I have been kicked out of a restaurant in California where I live or other states/countries I have traveled to! We conduct ourselves in a professional manner and truly appalled that this establishment harbors bigots and condones their behavior!!!!!!!!!!

First 5 I've ever given. Best Italian we've ever had. Service was impeccable. We were beginning to this Denver was a barren restaurant wasteland until this find.

I tried several appetizers and tastes from many entrees and the food was flawless. Hearty, well-executed Italian classics is what Venice does best. Prices are on the higher end, but you definitely get what you pay for. I highly recommend the veal osso bucco. It's simply amazing and will have you fantasizing about it for days after. We came with a large, boisterous group of 16 and the staff was able to accommodate us perfectly. The dining room was packed for a Saturday night, so you'll need to make reservations ahead of time. The perfect restaurant for any special occasion.

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants, but this last time was dreadful, from the rude hostess to the watery Alfredo sauce. The hostess took 5 minutes to show up. 3 different waiters saw me and wandered off (it was a tuesday night, they were not busy). When the hostess finally arrived she ignored me for several minutes. Finally she looked up an just stared at me. I asked her if I could eat and she just have me a blank stare like she had never seen a lone diner before. Then she asked if it was just me with a tone of incredulity. I asked the waiter to recommend a good Chianti. He just read the wine list and said well there's this or that one. The glass I randomly chose had no flavor. They did switch it out for another red blend which was nice but why was that other one even on the menu. For that matter, why is the wine list 10 pages long and include Australian, Spanish and Argentinian wines? I remember loving the fettuccine al pollo. It had so much flavor. Not this time. It was watery an flavorless. I doused it in pepper just so I could taste something. Oh and if your going to take a stab at conversational Italian, learn that grazzi means thank you.

Simply the best Italian restaurant in the south metro area. Good device and great food. Ask for a window table.

Umm, this place is wonderful. I only ordered an entree to go but when I went in, I got a good look at the place and it is super nice inside. I ordered a squash ravioli which was delicious (a bit too sweet if you are not into that). It was nearing the line of tasting like a dessert but I still loved it. I plan to go back and dine in some day. It's pricey but seems to match the taste.

Ate here while traveling for work. If you are staying in or near the Inverness hotel in Englewood this place is just 7 minutes away. Excellent staff, atmosphere and amazing italian food. I had the vegetarian ravioli dish and it was quite delicious. Everyone in my party was very pleased with the food. The m a i t r e d' / manager came by to check on us and was very courteous (and damn was he well dressed). You can see his photo in the pix associated with this Yelp profile. Highly recommended.

Linguini Alfredo is fantastic. Osso buco is very tasty and tender. Appetizers are nice except for overcooked calamari. Salads are drowned in balsamic so be careful. Service is immaculate.

This is an excellent Italian restaurant choice in the upscale Denver suburb of Greenwood Village. Here, amidst the sponged faux terra cotta walls with muraled scenes from Italy, and the draped linen ceiling fabric to lower the high ceiling into a cozy, romantic space, with Andrea Bocelli arias driftig over the speakers, and business casual dressed tech execs and baby boomer professionals and medical care specialists with their dirty blonde trophy wives, is a great Italian ristorante with great food, a large range of true Italian selections, and great service. It has been open about 7 years in a brick built mall of convenience shops for the upper middle class. They have an extensive standard menu of 3 or 4 pages of great italian antipasto, insalatas. pesce, carne, primi piatti, and secondi piatti, but they also have a daily special menu with fresh selections in all categories. We came about 9:00pm on a Thursday (they serve dinners until 9:30 weekedays) and jumped right into my New York Italian dining partner and my favorites: Carpaccio and Caprese appetizers. Venice offers 3 different Carpaccios, and we got the middle one with arugula and truffle oil mixed with the paper thin filet mignon, capers, olive oil, dry parmesan slices and freshground pepper. ($13.95). The mozzarella bufala Caprese was stacked high with toimato slices, huge fresh basil leaves, and drizzled with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and fresh ground pepper. ($9.95) We ordered 2 today's pasta specials: Orrechiette con Salsiccia e Broccolini - ear shaped pasta sauted with italian sausage, broccoli, garlic, chili flakes, white wine, and a touch of marinara. ($16.95) Tagliatelle alla Boscaiola - imported Italaian ham sauteed with mushrroms, sweet peas, and cream, and finished with a touch of marinara tossed with egg noodle pasta and finished with parmesan cheese (($16.95) Dessert, of which they have about a dozen choices, was creme brulee topped with a strawberry and powdered sugar. Food and service were both great, and we had a great time talking about my friend's childhood growing up with the Italian "family" in Brooklyn New York over this wonderful dinner.

We dined at Venice Ristorante Italiano in Greenwood Village, CO on Wednesday, August 13, 2014. There were four of us. We all had some variation of the veal dishes, salads, and sides of vegetables and pasta. Three of us had a Produttori Barbaresco wine and one had a Chardonnay. The entire meal, for all four of us, was spectacular in very way. The veal, all agreed, was very flavorful and tender (a rarity in the Denver area). Pastas were perfect and served quite hot. Salads were fresh and creative in their presentation. Our waiter was Fiorenzo - - we plan to request him again next time we go. Fiorenzo is pure European meaning he takes his role as a waiter very seriously and clearly views it as a profession. He was superb from the beginning through the end of the meal. Always there, always attentive, but never too much. What a great meal!

I had lunch with a friend here last week and we really, really enjoyed it. It's in a weird location--in a strip mall but you really forget about that as soon as you go inside. It's very tastefully decorated and the food was very good. I have also eaten at their sister restaurant, Chianti, and found Venice to be superior. Everything, starting with the bread, was extremely fresh. We split a caesar salad and had entrees of ravioli stuffed with spicy sausage and spinach and then bolognese. The sauces are excellent and the pasta is homemade. A word of caution, not meant as a criticism: the pace is very leisurely, so if you are on bided time for lunch, keep that in mind. The service was fantastic and attentive. We definitely plan on returning!

Everything you want a restaurant to be! And definitely what you imagine a good Italian restaurant to be. This place is always, always bustling, but somehow they always get you right in. Service is wonderful--kind, knowledgeable, not pushy in the least. I ordered a marsala dish off the specials menu and it was out of this world, my husband had homemade ravioli, again off the specials menu, and he's still raving. The waiter brought us Limoncello! Just a wonderful place to spend a Friday or Saturday night, you'll come home happy.

Manager is really a nice guy. But check your bill. Nothing wrong with covering yourself and making sure you have the correct bill and have been charged for the correct items and keep the receipt! I just trusted the waiter and added tip. When I got my statement it was a very different amount. I'd thrown away the receipt. But both the bill and tip were higher. Someone changed the tip amount. Of course I have no way to prove this a month later, but I mentioned it to a friend and she told me they left their credit card by mistake and the waiter signed her husband's name and added a 20% tip. I think the restaurant has an honestly issue with their wait staff. Doesn't mean the whole crew is bad.

Continue to make this one of our regular favs because they continue to deserve it. The back of the house, Chef Gabriel, has elevated the cuisine to superior. They will always customize my dishes to meet my healthy requests (high maintenance) and they still come out gourmet level. Rod the Bartender is one of the best in the biz and is amazing at handling the incredibly busy and popular crowd with ease. What makes this place even higher level, continues to be front of the house veteran, Nunzio Marino. What a pro. We go there and feel warm and welcomed, observe his top notch attention to detail, and as a bonus get to practice our italian while trying a variety of wines.

Looking for a place between pricey and cheap to have Birthday dinner for a new friend. I found Venice Ristorante Italiano and was very excited. I made reservations for dinner the morning of for 5:30 on a Saturday. We arrived and were greeted immediately and sat in a back room with only four total tables. Loved this since it was freezing and this room was as far away from the front door as you can get, very nice on their part. This place is gorgeous and represents such a classy atmosphere. Our server was Joey D. and he was fabulous. One person at our table mentioned being a little cold at the beginning of the meal (absolutely freezing outside). Joey D. brought over a warm napkin on a plate for her to warm up. Would another place do something like this? I don't think so, this was above and beyond. Joey D. asked us why we were there and we mentioned it was celebrating a Birthday. He offered up some complimentary champagne to celebrate. This was a very nice touch for the experience. So let me tell you about the food. At the end of our meal he even treated the table to small tastes of Lemoncello. Warm Bread Basket - Three different types with Olive Oil and Balsamic Champagne - Sweet and a perfect start to a Birthday dinner recommend by Joey D. House Salads - Wrapped with thinly slice cucumbers, arugula, walnuts, goat cheese and balanced perfectly Homemade Egg Noodles with Pulled Wild Boar - Pasta was aldente and the wild boar was tender and paired perfectly with the root vegetables and sauce. Special Seafood Dish - Every type of seafood possible, calamari, shrimp, mussels, and sea bass in a complimentary sauce - this is a great deal and if you're a seafood lover this dish is for you. Italian Sausage Ravioli - Beautiful plate and seasoned with love. Tiramisu - Wonderful plating and delicate Italian dessert Chocolate Hazelnut Crepes - Excellent flavor, only suggestion is that there was too much chocolate hazelnut spread, the amount of spread needs to be cut in half Lemon and Lime scented Custard - Wonderful flavors The menu is diverse so you can come as many times as you desire and get something different. The service is Four Seasons standard. Always there when needed without having to ask. Even saw the owner checking to make sure we were doing well. We talked for a long bit after we finished our meal and didn't feel rushed at all while chit chatting away. The only little quip to the evening was the woman refilling our water was in way too much of a rush, almost everytime she refilled our water she spilled water and ice cubes all over the table. The first time we overlooked it, but the third time we were thinking please slow down and actually aim for the glasses please. That may have taken off a half star but the service and food won us over to complete the experience at a full 5 stars!

Everything that I had was just wonderful. The Burrata and Prosciutto was the best I've ever had, just perfect. The bread is fresh and warm, crusty on the outside and soft in the center. The ravioli was cooked al dente and was very yummy. My husband's chicken was tender and tasty too. Gnocci was not on the menu and that made me a little sad. We also shared a bottle of wine and some fabulous tiramisu. It was a wonderful experience all around, the waitstaff was friendly and attentive. I would for sure come back for a special occassion!

This is the first "nice" restaurant my wife and I have gone to since moving to Colorado, and we were very pleased with our dinner there on a Thursday night. It's a little unusual to have a semi-fancy restaurant in a strip mall, but at least it means parking is easy! From start to finish, we had a wonderful evening at Venice. We made a reservation online with OpenTable and showed up 15 minutes early but were seated without any trouble. The ambiance was very pleasant - somewhat upscale, but not pretentious. We saw plenty of diners in jeans, but they fit right in with folks in blazers. Our waiter seemed to be actually Italian, and he was extremely friendly and helpful. As for the meal, we ordered a couple of glasses of red wine from their extensive wine list, and started with their Venezia appetizer sampler. The marinara sauce that came with the calamari in the sampler was especially good! We enjoyed the calamari, bruschetta, artichoke hearts, prosciutto and especially the tomato-basil-mozzarella slices. The crab cakes weren't great - a bit dry and too spicy - but the appetizer sampler was way more than enough (okay, too much) for the two of us. Next, we split the pear salad, which was plenty large enough for the two of us. The pears, greens and dressing worked well together. I personally liked the cheese on the salad, though it was too strong for my wife. For entrees, we both chose ravioli - sausage for me, butternut squash for her. I'd say the sausage ravioli was only okay, but the butternut squash was fantastic! They were both cooked al dente, which actually tasted slightly undercooked to me at first, but I think they were served exactly as intended. Of course, we couldn't leave without trying dessert - probably a bad decision for the waistline, since we were so full, but how could we resist? The tiramisu was all right, but actually a little disappointing. We also had the crepes filled with Nutella - now that's what I'm talking about! Oh, so good. They were served with some gelato that the menu said would be vanilla, but I'm pretty sure it was almond. It went very well with the warm crepes. So, while things weren't absolutely perfect, we had a wonderful time and a delicious meal and left stuffed to the gills. I've love to go back with a slightly larger group so that we could eat all of the appetizer platter!

Not enough great things can be said about this establishment. Great food, great service, and great drinks in a very unpretentious atmosphere where you truly feel valued as a guest!! I will be back and bring as many people that I can to show off this treasure to! This place is truly a who's who of the well known of Denver, from Peyton Manning to the heads of industry.

WAIT and WAIT and WAIT.... We dined at Venice with another couple who has visited previously. Even though we had a reservation, we had to wait to be seated for 20 minutes. The hostess staff was kind enough to serve all the waiting patrons prosecco while we waited. The food was great start to finish. Our waiter was courteous and knowledgeable about the menu but the service was slow throughout the entire night. We waited what seemed like forever for our drinks, salads, entrees, and desserts. Apparently, this is the first time the other couple had experienced such service. The staff did not seem to find anything out of the ordinary with it, though, never apologizing or mentioning it. We may be back if we find ourselves with a LONG night to kill and limitless patience.

Classy Italian restaurant witha comfortable atmosphere, helpful and attentive staff, and delicious authentic food. It's always a bit of a treat to come to Venice for dinner, but you'll often need reservations to do so: I've seen this place filled to capacity on the most random nights. I usually order one of the antipasti platters because they're well done and filled with a diverse array of delectable goodies. The menu has an extensive selection of meat dishes, with each type of meat having several different preparations. I would generally jump at the opportunity to have so many carnivorous options but at Venice (and most Italian restaurants), I tend to order a pasta dish. At Venice, my favorite is a spicy sausage tomato sauce. It's so good...you can really taste the ingredients and they all taste fresh. Most importantly, the sauce is finished with a bit of cream, which gives it this amazing velvety texture in your mouth, perfectly complementing the spicy sausage and tomatoes. Finished with a healthy pile of freshly grated parmiggiano reggiano, this dish is buonissimo!

Their description states first class Italian cuisine....which is pretty true. The food is very good. The service needs improvement, from the hostess to the table to the management addressing concerns. We had a reservation last night at 7pm. Upon check in at 6:55 we were told it would be "a few minutes." WE WERE SEATED AT 7:53! Almost an hour late! And not once were we addressed to clarify the delay. What was the point of a reservation? If we were even 20 minutes late, our reservation would have been void. The hostesses were less than friendly, almost inconvenienced, and didn't thank us for our patience when dropping us at our table - FINALLY! The server was not made aware of our delay so never even mentioned it. And the worst part, MANAGEMENT NEVER STOPPED BY OUR TABLE or personally apologized for the inconvenience! We were amazed at the level of disrespect toward customers. The service has been the one poor experience at Venice, either being acceptable or poor, never excellent. It's unfortunate that when a customer waits an hour for their reservation made weeks in advance, no one can take the time to apologize and address the matter.

I went there with my wife and 3 kids a few hours ago expecting something a little above average. I usually don't write reviews, but I really thought it was worth this time... The service provided by our server Alberto was awesome! He helped my kids chosing something from the regular menu, and the kids loved it! My wife and I chose the following from the 5280 Restaurant Week's menu: - 1st course: Calamaretti Fritti al Pesto (me) / Calamaretti Fritti al Pesto (wife) - 2nd course: Veal scaloppini with sautÃ©ed with wild mushrooms in a Marsala wine sauce (me) / Polletto ai Carciofini e Capperi (wife) -3rd course: Tiramisu (me) / Original cheesecake drizzled with fresh strawberry sauce (wife) I've never tasted better Italian food than this! It was delicious!!!

Wow what a diamond in the rough... I mean who thought there were actually creative delicious restaurants in the heart of suburbia. Maybe it won't be so bad moving down to the tech center hmm. Pulling up to the restaurant I was a little hesitant, I mean there is a grocery store in the same parking lot, but as soon as I walked in that all changed. It was a wonderful atmosphere with regal drapery coming down from the ceiling that accented the lofted ceilings. The staff was very friendly and seemed to get excited when I whispered the secret of my girlfriends b-day to the waiter. Well enough with the small talk I know you really want to hear about the goods. I personally can tell if an italian restaurant is good right off the bat, its all about the bread. Let me tell you this bread was perfect, just the right texture of the crust and perfect body. We started off with bruscetta and a split cesar salad. The tomatoes on the bruscetta were very refreshing and the cesar dressing was not overpowering. Next we moved on to lobster stuffed ravioli which thank goodness did not have an overly creamy sauce. My girlfriend had the chicken marsala... wow this was absolutely delicious which is saying a lot considering I am more of a pasta man. I will definitely be returning here. Enjoy

Wonderful classy Itialian restaurant in Colorado. The Calamaretti Fritti e Zucchine Fritte was a wonderful take on the traditional dish with a light crispy batter and a spicy sauce. The atmosphere was nice and service was excellent. The Ravioli di Gamberi was good but a little dry which was an unfortunate surprise for a meal that was otherwise perfect.

I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are looking for Italian cuisine. Delicious food, descent wine list, romantic atmosphere! We came for dinner to celebrate my birthday. We got there kind of late for Denver... around 9:30 pm on Thursday... felt a little bit rushed, but it was understandable - they were about to close. We enjoyed a couple of bottles of wine, and a three course dinner. 5 stars!!!

As close as I have found to authentic NY Italian quality food. I have been to this Ristorante a few times and each time, my expectations have been more than satisfied. The pasta dishes have always tasted amazing. The bread is homemade and very good. If you can forget it is in a strip mall, you will be more than happy you entered! I have yet to have a bad eating experience here and the prices are affordable for the quantity you get. It was mobbed on a weekend night, so make sure you have reservation as well. Lunch is very easy to get a table though.

ONLY RACISTS EAT AT THIS PLACE. I witnessed something horrible at this place last night that was appalling. A party of approx 12 were seated in the bar area having a good time. Isn't that what you're suppose to do in a restaurant. Obviously, another patron did not think so. He had the audacity to verbally speak out to the party using fowl language and completely disrespecting the party. This idiot could have taken a different route of addressing his complaint by either asking the waiter or owner to ask the jolly party if they could tone it down. Then the owner insulted the party more by taking the side of the idiot. Did I mention that the majority of patrons were Caucasian, and the party of people were of mixed ethnicities. Aren't we in an age where same sex marriage is accepted, a school can have two homecoming queens, and people of all ethnicities can have a good time in a restaurant. I guess not at this place. What's makes it even sadder is that the owner is also a minority! Come on people, don't support this backwards ass place! And to the white racist piece of $&@?, you should be ashamed of yourself.

My family and I went here tonight and had a wonderful time. Our server, Victor, made this possible. Most of the food was wonderful. I wouldn't recommend the tuna carpaccio because it's rather tasteless and the rice came out lukewarm. However, our meals and desserts were wonderful. Considering how busy the restaurant was, I am absolutely amazed with the incredible service. The restaurant was very noisy and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with a hearing impairment (as one of our guests did). However, for anyone okay with the noise, I would highly recommend it. Again,I can't compliment Victor enough. If you request him, you will not be disappointed.

Excellent food, very elegant, excellent waiter. I've been there several times, and always loved it. My only cautions, besides the slightly steep price, is that they tend to do the pasta and risotto too al-dente for my tastes: it tastes and feels a little raw in my mouth. But if you mention that to them, they take care of it and the flavors are wonderful.

We had a good but not outstanding experience at Venice. In summary: the quality of the food was good, the prices were a bit high, and the service was slow. We had an early 5:30 reservation and were the fourth table or so to be seated that evening. We were seated quickly, but without menus. The waiter asked us for drinks, but I didn't have the wine list. After getting our menus, I decided on a glass of Mosel riesling that was well priced at $7/pour. The apps seemed expensive, however, around a typical $12-$16 price point. I chose the mussels, which ended up being very good and served with a rich tomato sauce. After our starters came, however, the waiting began. I ordered the special gnocchi with lamb and mushroom sauce, my wife ordered a spicy shrimp pasta, and my daughters had the lobster ravioli and fettuccini alfredo. Now by this time the room was filling up, but we placed our entree orders when we ordered our apps and it still took a good 25 minutes from the time I finished my last mussel to the time my potato pasta showed up. At one point, our waiter said, "your food will be our in a few minutes" but it was still around 10 minutes when he came back with our plates. The girls' plates were all steaming hot, but my gnocchi was barely warm. The flavor was good at least. The best part of the experience was seeing a local restaurant that was absolutely packed on a Saturday night. This place has potential, if they can only manage time. When we left, there were people lined up out the door. No doubt, they could have turned our table over much earlier had they kept pace.

We were headed here for our company holiday lunch and after reading the reviews I was rather excited to experience good food, good atmosphere and an overall good experience. Boy was I set up for a disappointment. First off the wait staff is slow. We sat down and our drinks were ordered and after what seemed a long time the waiter returned asking if we were ready to order. Since we had no menus; that would be hard to do. After we received the menus he was back within 2 minutes asking again. Probably because the place was empty I initially thought we were subject to such attentive service. But that wasn't the case either as only food coming and order taking was the case. No refills, bread, water, etc... Appetizers seemed over priced, but we ordered two and were somewhat disappointed. The waiter described what each was, but upon tasting it was clear he was remiss in his descriptions. Two of us splurged and ordered the veal. It was luke warm when it arrived, and the small shaped mashed potato was cold. Veal by definition is a tender meat; but it was more like a chicken fried steak! The butter knife took some heavy use to cut through, it was tough and certainly not veal... The side of penne pomodoro, that was supposed to come with it arrived about 5 minutes after the initial meal, and was steaming hot. I have commented before about hot food, generally you want hot entrÃ©e's but there is a point where you wonder how they got it so hot. (Can you say microwave?) A small bowl of pena pasta that was so hot it steamed for over 5 minutes (we joked at the table taking bets how long it would stay steaming). Pasta sauce to my knowledge isn't cooked at a rolling boil is it? It was quite unfavorable and disappointing after you got over the initial mouth burn. Finally the garlic. I love garlic in my food, but WHOLE cloves hidden in your food? Several of us were quite taken aback by the discovery of these in our food. Overall disappointing, poor service and lack luster food for the prices.

The best pasta in Denver, truly great sauces, and al dente preparation. Their salads are terrific, the spinach salad yummy.

We celebrated our 33rd anniversary at this restaurant. We had a wonderful experience. From the hostess's greeting to the complimentary glasses of champagne at the end of our meal, all was perfect. The hostess was the right amount of friendly. The service was prompt, but not hurried. The drinks were generous. The martini was excellent. The food was delicious. To top it off, the restaurant is lovely. We wanted for nothing. We will happily recommend this restaurant to our friends.

Two Denver locations specialize in white tablecloth service and full course meals. A selection of tasting menus are available for indecisive diners. Given the preponderance of nice Italian restaurants in Denver, Venice is probably a bit overpriced.

Whenever I'm asked what my favorite restaurant is, this is my go-to response. Year after year it holds up. Try the Osso Bucco with whatever nice wine they recommend. Have the Limoncello aperitif. In a strip mall? Yes, a little odd. But after having the food, I truly don't care!

Kristn K.

Its different than downtown-- I've written a review already on that one...but 1) the food is just better here. I'm not sure why, but it is. 2) the place is more personal. too. Everyone here is attentive, friendly, and extremely willing to bring you whatever you want. Wine, cocktails, after dinner drinks, salad, entrees, etc-- its all great. and its quick, and they bring you more until you are SO FULL that you have to essentially roll yourself out to the parking lot. I had great wine (they have a great big wine list), bread, a pear salad, chicken parmesan (a special Venice variety), a cappuccino, limoncello, peach-cello, and at this point, I'm not sure what else but it was all really amazing. The service, the food, the atmosphere, the staff-- its all topnotch. Oh, and there is a ton of free parking available too by the way. The only reason it isn't a 5- star for me is because I'm not sure I like the crowd...there were a few strange people there this evening...and not strange in an eclectic sort of way.... I also felt very young and more "hip" than the average diner. But what can I say-- we were in Greenwood Village. And yes, in a strip mall...

This place has an entirely different vibe than it's sister in LoDo. The space is chic and cozy, white banners swoon against the ceiling as Andrea Bocelli resonates throughout the room. The clientele is definitely older and it lacks the hipness the other embodies, but the food is still fantastic, service is spot on, and the environment is elegance elegance elegance. Also, they have a pear ravioli that the other menu does not...mmmmmmm. Wine list is decent, there are some yummy ones that are still affordable. The Carmel Road Pinot is one of my favorites!

We just don't get it. Other Yelp diners and our friends who joined us for lunch raved about Venice. That was not our experience. The food was entirely unremarkable and the service was equally bland. The meatballs were hard and dry and the lunch portion of the spaghetti was small. The salmon salad was bland - mixed baby greens, a couple slivers of zuchinni and salmon that was overdone. We had to ask for bread which also was hard and dry. It seemed to be an imposition on our waiter to proactively refill beverages. Overal it was a meh experience and one we will not repeat. I don't think our loyal friends will be back to Venice soon either.

Venice, Greenwood Village, seems more suited to group or account business than to individual dining. We dined there for the first time recently, midweek, and had a similar experience to Harvey L.: long waits after early arrival, good food but not great or gourmet, let alone organic, whole grain or otherwise health-conscious (no longer an extravagance!). This sort of advance is admittedly still not the rule, but most of us are tired of paying to search in vain for higher grade nutrition at restaurants. Expect high fat content here, by way of either meat or cheese in everything, incl. an otherwise nicely dressed salad. Appreciated decent artisan bread and fresh pasta (still oddly hard to find in many Denver Italian restaurants). We've eaten in big restaurant cities and know the difference. Venice is overpriced, overcrowded and deafeningly noisy. The bill came to over $100 for 1 cocktail, 2 glasses of wine, 2 salads and 2 ravioli plates (good, but lacking depth of stock flavor) and tip. This would be a perfect neighborhood eatery with fewer and smaller tables, and updated its approach to fresh, more vegetable-oriented, healthy well-made dishes (as one finds in Italy) at a more reasonable price.

This is some of the best Italian I have had since I left the East Coast 8 yrs ago. I lived in Boston and ate in the north end so I know Italian food! Plus I'm a Zappia! They are particularly great on Valentine's Day where the offer a fabulous menu for 2 that is like a little tour of Italy.

So I went here with a few friends to celebrate their recent marriage. I made a reservation using the Yelp app and under special comments I wrote "Have a special dessert prepared because they recently got married". We get there at 7 and the host was fairly rude, not even making eye contact while doing something behind the podium and pointedly saying "hang on one minute!!!". Eventually he asks why I'm standing there in front of him in the same tone and I tell him I have a reservation for 3 at 7pm. He manages to find it after a minute and takes us to the table. In the short walk he manages to forget who I am and has to ask again, this time kind of mumbling like he's embarrassed so I can't hear him over the odd assortment of blaring music and a TV set to ESPN. He gets snippy when I politely ask him what he just said and manage to tell him who I am before he hurries off. Our waiter arrives literally 5 seconds later and opens with "anything else besides water to drink" even though we just sat down and was handed our menus. Seriously, we haven't even had time to take off our coats and get settled, let alone look at any sort of menu. We tell him we're good for now and he hurries off in a huff too. We manage to order a few drinks, which he gets wrong before hurrying off again and ignoring one of my friends who was trying to order something. We would've called after him, but I think yelling "Hey you waiter with the glasses come back" might have been slightly inappropriate. He comes back later on, but it's obvious he's trying to get to each of his tables as fast as possible by rapidly looking at us and asking us what we want. I feel oddly pressured to order something just to get him to leave. Eventually, the night dies down and everything seems to slow down and he does become more personable and even kind of funny, but does that really excuse how you acted when you first came to us? The food was excellent though, so hats off to the chef. They were out of a few desserts which was fairly annoying. Oh and that special message I had written out didn't even really matter as it was never acknowledge. If I had to guess I'd say the busier it was there, the more hectic and chaotic everyone acted in the place, but once it calmed down it was pretty decent. So if you're thinking about going, try to pick a slow night so you'll get decent service and great food. Unless all you want is great food and lackluster service, but then I could happily suggest a few places for you if that's the case. Oh and it's super loud in this place. Like have to yell across the table to be heard by your other friends loud.

Venice was really good! The atmosphere is a little weird being that it is in a strip mall but once inside it is pretty cozy. Great wine list and the food is just phenomenal! Service was pretty good, the host seemed a little confused about everything and wasn't super friendly. Our table was also teeny tiny but we managed. Even with a few little things off (ambience and such), the food is just so good we will be back!

The food is actually outstanding, the environment is beautiful, but most of all, the service is AMAZING. I have never had one bad experience at this restaurant. After working in the restaurant industry myself in NYC, I highly recommend this place. Especially great for couples.

I've had the pleasure of dining here for lunch a handful of times. Let's get past the cons: strip mall location, tables are too close together, and no happy hour (ok, that's just a personal con!!), and their horrific after dinner mints that taste like black licorice. But when the food comes...ah, the food...you forget all of that. The bread smells and tastes amazing- though I had to refrain from this course the last time I was there- it still entices with its aroma and the lovely olive oil and balsamic dish accompanies. In the past I have tried the wild boar pasta- delicious, the butternut squash ravioli- exquisite, and the salmon salad-outstanding! Yesterday the chef offered to make a special marsala sauce to accommodate gluten free. I thought that was amazing! However, I ended up opting for the salmon salad. I know you're thinking- an Italian restaurant? Why get a salad? Let me tell you a little something about this salad. The dressing is deliciously amazing. It's then topped with tomatoes and avocado and a balsamic soaked zucchini. The salmon is perfectly cooked and topped with a lovely basil cream sauce. It's just incredible. Even my non-salad eating husband said, "I would order that!" I think that says it all.

My husband and I love our evenings at Venice and it's so nice to have it close to our Tech Center home. Our favorite spot is the bar and especially a table by the fireplace on a cold, snowy night. I love the folks that run this little spot -- so kind, considerate and eager to please. My absolute favorite dish is the wild boar pasta -- full of stick-to-your-bones flavor and a winter favorite. They also make a great vodka martini complete with blue-cheese olives. And I know this is a minor thing but I really love their bread basket -- they feature different types of bread, savory bread sticks and flat breads crusted with spices. We love their Tech Center sister, Chianti as well but it's a much smaller spot with no bar through they do serve wine and spirits. If you don't like sitting at a bar and prefer table service, Chianti will serve your Italian fix equally well.

I expected better. I 'may' try this place again but I'm not sure since it was so disappointing. The reviews of this place are high - unfortunately like most Yelp reviews they are nearly useless. "Great place" is NOT A REVIEW - don't bother rating the place if you will do this. Here's how its done gang... Bang for the Buck: 2/5 for the reasons below Decor: 4/5 Nothing unique but simple and nicely done Ambiance: 3/5 Would be 4 but this place is packed in. No privacy, very due to a full room of customers eating / talking all at once. Service: 2/5 Bread came out 20 minutes after we were seated. Side dishes came out 5-10 minutes after the main entree. Food Quality: 5/5 I felt the quality was high and the care taken to prepare everything was excellent Food Quantity: 3/5 portion sizes for the prices were about right. The veal was small on the Veal Osso Bucco Food Flavor: 3/5 This is a mixed bag. Read the experience below to see exactly why Food Uniqueness & Creativity: 3/5 The dishes looked pretty normal for a place like this. I did not see anything that looked unique Last Experience... 01-28-2013 Veal Osso Bucco 1/5 The server highly recommended the Veal Osso Bucco. Said "It is off the charts"... hell no, it is totally on the charts and not even near the top. It was properly cooked (not over/under done) but the sauce was bland, one dimensional and I felt like I was eating veggie stew. The thing was SMOTHERED in a bunch of diced carrots and what not in a thick stew gravy. To make it worse it 95% covered the risotto so the risotto was now stew with rice. HORRIBLE ***stay away from this dish unless you want lamb & veggie stew! House salad 4/5 good flavor for the dressing, basic bag-o-greens, good portion, the cucumber bowl was nice Fettuccine Alfredo 3/5 pasta was done perfectly, sauce has a light but nice flavor. would have liked the sauce to be a bit thicker... I felt like it was a pasta soup. Bread with Oil & Vinegar 3/5 They said it was baked in house. Nice soft bread with a rustica crust. Enjoyable. They provide plain oil & vinegar with it - Lame. Add some spices or something.

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST UNLESS YOU ARE A RACIST!!!! Took my team - consisting of Nurse Managers/Business Administrators- to a team building event sponsored by the company we work for. We traveled from Los Angeles and Orange County to Denver for a training at the Inverness hotel. This establishment was recommended by hotel concierge and DaVita event coordinator. My assistant booked the reservation for dinner last night as a culminating celebration of our team's accomplishment. After ordering drinks, appetizers and dinner, we went about our business - talking and laughing. One of our core values was fun and we were living it. I asked the waiter if laughing and being merry is okay and he said it was acceptable since we were seated in the bar area - away from the main dining room. Before dinner was served, one of the customers shouted at my team disrespectfully and blurted " you (expletive) get the (expletive) out of here! This is a fine establishment!" The manager sided with this crude patron and we were asked to leave. This restaurant could have easily made $2000 tonight from our bill but instead catered to this person. This was clearly racially motivated. Other large groups in the main dining hall were as loud if not louder and my diverse group was the only group getting kicked out of the restaurant. As I asked for the bill, the owner said, do not pay for the bill. Well, since we ate the appetizers, I asked to pay for what we consumed. I stayed until the bill was handed to me. While waiting, the bartender called the police "since we didn't want to leave". One of the other costumers told me that I was a BITCH and to "get the (expletive) out of my area! You don't belong here!!!!!!" I paid for the bill and gave the server 20% tip. Left the place in a huff, for fear of being accused of anything else since the bartender called the police. NEVER in my entire life that I have been kicked out of a restaurant in California where I live or other states/countries I have traveled to! We conduct ourselves in a professional manner and truly appalled that this establishment harbors bigots and condones their behavior!!!!!!!!!!

I tried several appetizers and tastes from many entrees and the food was flawless. Hearty, well-executed Italian classics is what Venice does best. Prices are on the higher end, but you definitely get what you pay for. I highly recommend the veal osso bucco. It's simply amazing and will have you fantasizing about it for days after. We came with a large, boisterous group of 16 and the staff was able to accommodate us perfectly. The dining room was packed for a Saturday night, so you'll need to make reservations ahead of time. The perfect restaurant for any special occasion.

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants, but this last time was dreadful, from the rude hostess to the watery Alfredo sauce. The hostess took 5 minutes to show up. 3 different waiters saw me and wandered off (it was a tuesday night, they were not busy). When the hostess finally arrived she ignored me for several minutes. Finally she looked up an just stared at me. I asked her if I could eat and she just have me a blank stare like she had never seen a lone diner before. Then she asked if it was just me with a tone of incredulity. I asked the waiter to recommend a good Chianti. He just read the wine list and said well there's this or that one. The glass I randomly chose had no flavor. They did switch it out for another red blend which was nice but why was that other one even on the menu. For that matter, why is the wine list 10 pages long and include Australian, Spanish and Argentinian wines? I remember loving the fettuccine al pollo. It had so much flavor. Not this time. It was watery an flavorless. I doused it in pepper just so I could taste something. Oh and if your going to take a stab at conversational Italian, learn that grazzi means thank you.

Umm, this place is wonderful. I only ordered an entree to go but when I went in, I got a good look at the place and it is super nice inside. I ordered a squash ravioli which was delicious (a bit too sweet if you are not into that). It was nearing the line of tasting like a dessert but I still loved it. I plan to go back and dine in some day. It's pricey but seems to match the taste.

Ate here while traveling for work. If you are staying in or near the Inverness hotel in Englewood this place is just 7 minutes away. Excellent staff, atmosphere and amazing italian food. I had the vegetarian ravioli dish and it was quite delicious. Everyone in my party was very pleased with the food. The m a i t r e d' / manager came by to check on us and was very courteous (and damn was he well dressed). You can see his photo in the pix associated with this Yelp profile. Highly recommended.

Linguini Alfredo is fantastic. Osso buco is very tasty and tender. Appetizers are nice except for overcooked calamari. Salads are drowned in balsamic so be careful. Service is immaculate.

This is an excellent Italian restaurant choice in the upscale Denver suburb of Greenwood Village. Here, amidst the sponged faux terra cotta walls with muraled scenes from Italy, and the draped linen ceiling fabric to lower the high ceiling into a cozy, romantic space, with Andrea Bocelli arias driftig over the speakers, and business casual dressed tech execs and baby boomer professionals and medical care specialists with their dirty blonde trophy wives, is a great Italian ristorante with great food, a large range of true Italian selections, and great service. It has been open about 7 years in a brick built mall of convenience shops for the upper middle class. They have an extensive standard menu of 3 or 4 pages of great italian antipasto, insalatas. pesce, carne, primi piatti, and secondi piatti, but they also have a daily special menu with fresh selections in all categories. We came about 9:00pm on a Thursday (they serve dinners until 9:30 weekedays) and jumped right into my New York Italian dining partner and my favorites: Carpaccio and Caprese appetizers. Venice offers 3 different Carpaccios, and we got the middle one with arugula and truffle oil mixed with the paper thin filet mignon, capers, olive oil, dry parmesan slices and freshground pepper. ($13.95). The mozzarella bufala Caprese was stacked high with toimato slices, huge fresh basil leaves, and drizzled with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and fresh ground pepper. ($9.95) We ordered 2 today's pasta specials: Orrechiette con Salsiccia e Broccolini - ear shaped pasta sauted with italian sausage, broccoli, garlic, chili flakes, white wine, and a touch of marinara. ($16.95) Tagliatelle alla Boscaiola - imported Italaian ham sauteed with mushrroms, sweet peas, and cream, and finished with a touch of marinara tossed with egg noodle pasta and finished with parmesan cheese (($16.95) Dessert, of which they have about a dozen choices, was creme brulee topped with a strawberry and powdered sugar. Food and service were both great, and we had a great time talking about my friend's childhood growing up with the Italian "family" in Brooklyn New York over this wonderful dinner.

We dined at Venice Ristorante Italiano in Greenwood Village, CO on Wednesday, August 13, 2014. There were four of us. We all had some variation of the veal dishes, salads, and sides of vegetables and pasta. Three of us had a Produttori Barbaresco wine and one had a Chardonnay. The entire meal, for all four of us, was spectacular in very way. The veal, all agreed, was very flavorful and tender (a rarity in the Denver area). Pastas were perfect and served quite hot. Salads were fresh and creative in their presentation. Our waiter was Fiorenzo - - we plan to request him again next time we go. Fiorenzo is pure European meaning he takes his role as a waiter very seriously and clearly views it as a profession. He was superb from the beginning through the end of the meal. Always there, always attentive, but never too much. What a great meal!

I had lunch with a friend here last week and we really, really enjoyed it. It's in a weird location--in a strip mall but you really forget about that as soon as you go inside. It's very tastefully decorated and the food was very good. I have also eaten at their sister restaurant, Chianti, and found Venice to be superior. Everything, starting with the bread, was extremely fresh. We split a caesar salad and had entrees of ravioli stuffed with spicy sausage and spinach and then bolognese. The sauces are excellent and the pasta is homemade. A word of caution, not meant as a criticism: the pace is very leisurely, so if you are on bided time for lunch, keep that in mind. The service was fantastic and attentive. We definitely plan on returning!

Everything you want a restaurant to be! And definitely what you imagine a good Italian restaurant to be. This place is always, always bustling, but somehow they always get you right in. Service is wonderful--kind, knowledgeable, not pushy in the least. I ordered a marsala dish off the specials menu and it was out of this world, my husband had homemade ravioli, again off the specials menu, and he's still raving. The waiter brought us Limoncello! Just a wonderful place to spend a Friday or Saturday night, you'll come home happy.

Manager is really a nice guy. But check your bill. Nothing wrong with covering yourself and making sure you have the correct bill and have been charged for the correct items and keep the receipt! I just trusted the waiter and added tip. When I got my statement it was a very different amount. I'd thrown away the receipt. But both the bill and tip were higher. Someone changed the tip amount. Of course I have no way to prove this a month later, but I mentioned it to a friend and she told me they left their credit card by mistake and the waiter signed her husband's name and added a 20% tip. I think the restaurant has an honestly issue with their wait staff. Doesn't mean the whole crew is bad.

Looking for a place between pricey and cheap to have Birthday dinner for a new friend. I found Venice Ristorante Italiano and was very excited. I made reservations for dinner the morning of for 5:30 on a Saturday. We arrived and were greeted immediately and sat in a back room with only four total tables. Loved this since it was freezing and this room was as far away from the front door as you can get, very nice on their part. This place is gorgeous and represents such a classy atmosphere. Our server was Joey D. and he was fabulous. One person at our table mentioned being a little cold at the beginning of the meal (absolutely freezing outside). Joey D. brought over a warm napkin on a plate for her to warm up. Would another place do something like this? I don't think so, this was above and beyond. Joey D. asked us why we were there and we mentioned it was celebrating a Birthday. He offered up some complimentary champagne to celebrate. This was a very nice touch for the experience. So let me tell you about the food. At the end of our meal he even treated the table to small tastes of Lemoncello. Warm Bread Basket - Three different types with Olive Oil and Balsamic Champagne - Sweet and a perfect start to a Birthday dinner recommend by Joey D. House Salads - Wrapped with thinly slice cucumbers, arugula, walnuts, goat cheese and balanced perfectly Homemade Egg Noodles with Pulled Wild Boar - Pasta was aldente and the wild boar was tender and paired perfectly with the root vegetables and sauce. Special Seafood Dish - Every type of seafood possible, calamari, shrimp, mussels, and sea bass in a complimentary sauce - this is a great deal and if you're a seafood lover this dish is for you. Italian Sausage Ravioli - Beautiful plate and seasoned with love. Tiramisu - Wonderful plating and delicate Italian dessert Chocolate Hazelnut Crepes - Excellent flavor, only suggestion is that there was too much chocolate hazelnut spread, the amount of spread needs to be cut in half Lemon and Lime scented Custard - Wonderful flavors The menu is diverse so you can come as many times as you desire and get something different. The service is Four Seasons standard. Always there when needed without having to ask. Even saw the owner checking to make sure we were doing well. We talked for a long bit after we finished our meal and didn't feel rushed at all while chit chatting away. The only little quip to the evening was the woman refilling our water was in way too much of a rush, almost everytime she refilled our water she spilled water and ice cubes all over the table. The first time we overlooked it, but the third time we were thinking please slow down and actually aim for the glasses please. That may have taken off a half star but the service and food won us over to complete the experience at a full 5 stars!

Everything that I had was just wonderful. The Burrata and Prosciutto was the best I've ever had, just perfect. The bread is fresh and warm, crusty on the outside and soft in the center. The ravioli was cooked al dente and was very yummy. My husband's chicken was tender and tasty too. Gnocci was not on the menu and that made me a little sad. We also shared a bottle of wine and some fabulous tiramisu. It was a wonderful experience all around, the waitstaff was friendly and attentive. I would for sure come back for a special occassion!

Continue to make this one of our regular favs because they continue to deserve it. The back of the house, Chef Gabriel, has elevated the cuisine to superior. They will always customize my dishes to meet my healthy requests (high maintenance) and they still come out gourmet level. Rod the Bartender is one of the best in the biz and is amazing at handling the incredibly busy and popular crowd with ease. What makes this place even higher level, continues to be front of the house veteran, Nunzio Marino. What a pro. We go there and feel warm and welcomed, observe his top notch attention to detail, and as a bonus get to practice our italian while trying a variety of wines.

This is the first "nice" restaurant my wife and I have gone to since moving to Colorado, and we were very pleased with our dinner there on a Thursday night. It's a little unusual to have a semi-fancy restaurant in a strip mall, but at least it means parking is easy! From start to finish, we had a wonderful evening at Venice. We made a reservation online with OpenTable and showed up 15 minutes early but were seated without any trouble. The ambiance was very pleasant - somewhat upscale, but not pretentious. We saw plenty of diners in jeans, but they fit right in with folks in blazers. Our waiter seemed to be actually Italian, and he was extremely friendly and helpful. As for the meal, we ordered a couple of glasses of red wine from their extensive wine list, and started with their Venezia appetizer sampler. The marinara sauce that came with the calamari in the sampler was especially good! We enjoyed the calamari, bruschetta, artichoke hearts, prosciutto and especially the tomato-basil-mozzarella slices. The crab cakes weren't great - a bit dry and too spicy - but the appetizer sampler was way more than enough (okay, too much) for the two of us. Next, we split the pear salad, which was plenty large enough for the two of us. The pears, greens and dressing worked well together. I personally liked the cheese on the salad, though it was too strong for my wife. For entrees, we both chose ravioli - sausage for me, butternut squash for her. I'd say the sausage ravioli was only okay, but the butternut squash was fantastic! They were both cooked al dente, which actually tasted slightly undercooked to me at first, but I think they were served exactly as intended. Of course, we couldn't leave without trying dessert - probably a bad decision for the waistline, since we were so full, but how could we resist? The tiramisu was all right, but actually a little disappointing. We also had the crepes filled with Nutella - now that's what I'm talking about! Oh, so good. They were served with some gelato that the menu said would be vanilla, but I'm pretty sure it was almond. It went very well with the warm crepes. So, while things weren't absolutely perfect, we had a wonderful time and a delicious meal and left stuffed to the gills. I've love to go back with a slightly larger group so that we could eat all of the appetizer platter!

Not enough great things can be said about this establishment. Great food, great service, and great drinks in a very unpretentious atmosphere where you truly feel valued as a guest!! I will be back and bring as many people that I can to show off this treasure to! This place is truly a who's who of the well known of Denver, from Peyton Manning to the heads of industry.

WAIT and WAIT and WAIT.... We dined at Venice with another couple who has visited previously. Even though we had a reservation, we had to wait to be seated for 20 minutes. The hostess staff was kind enough to serve all the waiting patrons prosecco while we waited. The food was great start to finish. Our waiter was courteous and knowledgeable about the menu but the service was slow throughout the entire night. We waited what seemed like forever for our drinks, salads, entrees, and desserts. Apparently, this is the first time the other couple had experienced such service. The staff did not seem to find anything out of the ordinary with it, though, never apologizing or mentioning it. We may be back if we find ourselves with a LONG night to kill and limitless patience.

Classy Italian restaurant witha comfortable atmosphere, helpful and attentive staff, and delicious authentic food. It's always a bit of a treat to come to Venice for dinner, but you'll often need reservations to do so: I've seen this place filled to capacity on the most random nights. I usually order one of the antipasti platters because they're well done and filled with a diverse array of delectable goodies. The menu has an extensive selection of meat dishes, with each type of meat having several different preparations. I would generally jump at the opportunity to have so many carnivorous options but at Venice (and most Italian restaurants), I tend to order a pasta dish. At Venice, my favorite is a spicy sausage tomato sauce. It's so good...you can really taste the ingredients and they all taste fresh. Most importantly, the sauce is finished with a bit of cream, which gives it this amazing velvety texture in your mouth, perfectly complementing the spicy sausage and tomatoes. Finished with a healthy pile of freshly grated parmiggiano reggiano, this dish is buonissimo!

Their description states first class Italian cuisine....which is pretty true. The food is very good. The service needs improvement, from the hostess to the table to the management addressing concerns. We had a reservation last night at 7pm. Upon check in at 6:55 we were told it would be "a few minutes." WE WERE SEATED AT 7:53! Almost an hour late! And not once were we addressed to clarify the delay. What was the point of a reservation? If we were even 20 minutes late, our reservation would have been void. The hostesses were less than friendly, almost inconvenienced, and didn't thank us for our patience when dropping us at our table - FINALLY! The server was not made aware of our delay so never even mentioned it. And the worst part, MANAGEMENT NEVER STOPPED BY OUR TABLE or personally apologized for the inconvenience! We were amazed at the level of disrespect toward customers. The service has been the one poor experience at Venice, either being acceptable or poor, never excellent. It's unfortunate that when a customer waits an hour for their reservation made weeks in advance, no one can take the time to apologize and address the matter.

I went there with my wife and 3 kids a few hours ago expecting something a little above average. I usually don't write reviews, but I really thought it was worth this time... The service provided by our server Alberto was awesome! He helped my kids chosing something from the regular menu, and the kids loved it! My wife and I chose the following from the 5280 Restaurant Week's menu: - 1st course: Calamaretti Fritti al Pesto (me) / Calamaretti Fritti al Pesto (wife) - 2nd course: Veal scaloppini with sautÃ©ed with wild mushrooms in a Marsala wine sauce (me) / Polletto ai Carciofini e Capperi (wife) -3rd course: Tiramisu (me) / Original cheesecake drizzled with fresh strawberry sauce (wife) I've never tasted better Italian food than this! It was delicious!!!

Wow what a diamond in the rough... I mean who thought there were actually creative delicious restaurants in the heart of suburbia. Maybe it won't be so bad moving down to the tech center hmm. Pulling up to the restaurant I was a little hesitant, I mean there is a grocery store in the same parking lot, but as soon as I walked in that all changed. It was a wonderful atmosphere with regal drapery coming down from the ceiling that accented the lofted ceilings. The staff was very friendly and seemed to get excited when I whispered the secret of my girlfriends b-day to the waiter. Well enough with the small talk I know you really want to hear about the goods. I personally can tell if an italian restaurant is good right off the bat, its all about the bread. Let me tell you this bread was perfect, just the right texture of the crust and perfect body. We started off with bruscetta and a split cesar salad. The tomatoes on the bruscetta were very refreshing and the cesar dressing was not overpowering. Next we moved on to lobster stuffed ravioli which thank goodness did not have an overly creamy sauce. My girlfriend had the chicken marsala... wow this was absolutely delicious which is saying a lot considering I am more of a pasta man. I will definitely be returning here. Enjoy

Wonderful classy Itialian restaurant in Colorado. The Calamaretti Fritti e Zucchine Fritte was a wonderful take on the traditional dish with a light crispy batter and a spicy sauce. The atmosphere was nice and service was excellent. The Ravioli di Gamberi was good but a little dry which was an unfortunate surprise for a meal that was otherwise perfect.

As close as I have found to authentic NY Italian quality food. I have been to this Ristorante a few times and each time, my expectations have been more than satisfied. The pasta dishes have always tasted amazing. The bread is homemade and very good. If you can forget it is in a strip mall, you will be more than happy you entered! I have yet to have a bad eating experience here and the prices are affordable for the quantity you get. It was mobbed on a weekend night, so make sure you have reservation as well. Lunch is very easy to get a table though.

I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are looking for Italian cuisine. Delicious food, descent wine list, romantic atmosphere! We came for dinner to celebrate my birthday. We got there kind of late for Denver... around 9:30 pm on Thursday... felt a little bit rushed, but it was understandable - they were about to close. We enjoyed a couple of bottles of wine, and a three course dinner. 5 stars!!!

My husband and I and another couple ate at Venice for New Year's Eve. We had a 6:30 reservation and were seated right away. The rest of the evening didn't go quite so well. The waiter we had was a bit flippant when we asked about a drinks menu. Told us it was a full bar with typical drinks. Not very helpful. Ordered Calamari as an appetizer which was brought to us by someone other than our waiter. The calamari arrived but without the marinara sauce it comes with, so we had to wait for several minutes for that. Our waiter was not attentive at all, and probably didn't even know we had to wait on the sauce. The dish was average, at best. We all ordered a pasta dish, and I must say they were all very tasty. Our waiter disappeared and returned much later to see if we wanted dessert. The tables were on top of each other and it got very noisy as the evening progressed; we could barely hear each other at our own table. We were expecting much better service at what would be considered a fine restaurant. Needless to say, we were all quite disappointed.

Excellent Northern Italian restaurant. Reservations are a must. Large room lacks acoustics to absorb sound making it rather noisy.

Amazing food! I have been trying to find a great Italian restaurant since relocating to Denver and this place is it. Our server was extremely helpful going through the wine list and providing true, honest recommendations. Between the four of us we all got something different and we all loved our food. The buffalo mozarella was the best I have ever had, as with the fetuccini alfredo. Make sure to make reservations ahead of time as it can get pretty busy, especially on a weekend night. I highly recommend that you try this place!

The establishment is fantastic, the food excellent, the atmosphere exciting, the service from one waiter in particular (Chris Sr.) is HORRIFIC and that is putting it mildly. That one person has single handedly ruined more $150 meals for me than I care to count going back five years. He is a Misogynist, condescending, nasty old geezer who does not belong anywhere near a female customer. I finally broke down after last nights episode and called the establishment and told them I was letting this goofball have it on the internet and that I would sing his name from the rafters of the internet and anybody who would listen. I will continue to dine at Venice but I will NEVER EVER sit in this goofballs section again! EVER.

I went to Venice Ristorante for restaurant week in August. Pros: It wasn't very crowded, the service was exceptional, menu was fantastic Cons: food was just okay. Ever since I went to Hawaii and ate at an Italian restaurant there, my expectations are much, much higher. This place isn't bad but I was underwhelmed. The best thing I ate there was the parmesan bowl the caesar salad was in. The tiramasu was good too. I don't know if I'd eat here again for restaurant week. I've been here two other times and enjoyed my experience more.

Been coming here for about 6 months now. Cant believe it took us this long to find this place. 5 star italian food and service. Christopher Robbins is the best waiter EVER. Treats you like your family. They also have a great bar while you wait for your table. Eating there again this Friday evening, cant wait.

This place is great for a nicer than usual business lunch (but still fast) or even a date night. The location is unexpected (stripmall, albeit a nice one)...but the service is great (if not a bit pretentious...they pushed their special steak menu at lunch). The portions are huge and the warm bread brought to the table before the meal is amazing. The presentation of each dish is pretty as well. Can't wait to go back & try their dinner.

Who would've thought that there was a gem of an Italian restaurant hidden in a strip mall in Greenwood Village?! We had a work lunch here last week, and I still can't stop thinking about their pastas! I will admit that the menu is a little overwhelming. They have a whole page of daily specials built into the menu - or maybe that's their way of getting you to try something new, by calling it a "special." Anyway, that part was a little weird and confusing...and it didn't help that it was in Italian, but whatevs. I settled on a sausage pasta with a spicy marsala sauce, and yummers! I ate the whole thing and loved every bit of it. We had a pretty big group, but I thought the servers were really attentive and they used some extra hands to bring all of our dishes out at the same time, which was nice. I could see this being a neat little place to come back to for a mid-week dinner to enjoy a glass of vino (or two) with some yummy Italian fare.

Wife and I love this place! Tonight we were waited on Lane who did a fabulous job; but when we do come we ask for Eddie. King of the Hill waiter-known Eddie for years. You can't go wrong with anything here, food, service, atmosphere-what else do you need?! Food was fantastic!

Stellar food. Probably the best Italian food I've ever had. Their focus on seafood is mind blowing. I never thought I'd eat such great seafood in the middle of the States! Our server, Hugo, was hospitable and really knew his stuff. He can tell you what part of Italy each wine is from, as well as describe the menu offerings perfectly. I started with their salad, which was light and refreshing (probably due to cucumber) and gets an A+ for presentation. As an entree, I went with one of their many specials, the Cioppino - a seafood medley sitting in the most flavorful stew I've ever had. Not salty, great consistency.... it was just perfect. I skipped dessert, but did have a glass of limoncello and a cup of coffee. The limoncello was a perfect ending to an epic meal. My only regret was that I did not eat here again during my week long trip to Denver. If you are in the area, please do me a favor: eat here, take an enticing picture, and let me know so I can drool and become insanely jealous.

Food was amazing, one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had. Great atmosphere and really friendly staff. Only issue was that our table for two was too narrow, it barely fit our appetizer! Also wish they had more beer, but that's just a personal preference. Price was amazing for such a nice place, will definitely go back, but will ask for wider table

Dale Z.

I went here with a group for dinner. I was not overly impressed with too many aspects of the restaurant. The hostess seemed a bit confused. Our server was a friendly old gentleman, but he had a nasty habit of disappearing for lengthy periods of time, not refilling water glasses, etc. The server who we did succeed in flagging down to fill water glasses managed to spill water over the sides of the glasses (and not just a little bit) in 4 out of 5 pours (which is pretty impressive in its own horrible way). I ordered the overpriced Caesar salad as a starter. This is romaine lettuce, homemade grissini, fried capers and shaved parmesan cheese tossed with homemade Caesar dressing; served on a parmesan basket. The dressing (the most important part of the dish, was rather bland. The parmesan tuile "bowl" was dense and extremely salty. For my main course, I went with Ravioli di Salsiccia (Homemade round ravioli filled with spicy Italian sausage, ricotta and parmesan; fresh tomatoes, sausage and wine sauce). This was six modest, under-filled, and rather tough ravioli. The sauce was okay. But it basically just tasted of pork and lots of salt. My meal, with tax and tip, was around $40. For this price, I expect much better food and service.

1 of 3 best Italian restaurants in Denver area. Its a sister of Chianti Restaurant in DTC. I had the chilean sea bass entree, Burratta caprese, and tiramisu. Great wine selection. Burrata "anything" is a favorite of mine. Venice's was creamy and delectable. The sea bass is simply amazing. I cannot describe it without doing it injustice. Its the second time I've ordered it, in the last year. Its moist, flaky, flavorful, and heaven.

I have a love-hate relationship with this place. Love: we keep coming back because it is hands down the best food in our area of town. The pasta choices are always great, the meats are delicious, sauces are homemade delicious. The wait staff is experienced and pleasant. Hate: we would not even think of coming here without a reservation, which we typically make online via open table. The problem occurs when we arrive on time, but consistently have to wait 25-60 minutes to be seated. What good is a reservation? Also it is so noisy inside the packed restaurant that one must shout across the table to hear those sitting feet away. Congestion at the bar is so bad that it reminds me of an overpacked elevator with everyone holding a drink. These experiences have been consistent over our last 10 visits here, so I think it is fair to take my rating down a couple notches.

Cassie D.

I have had the pleasure of eating at the DTC location and the downtown location. Props to downtown but the DTC location blows it out of the water. I had the same thing at both locations. The absolutely delicious fish stew. Its a robust tomato broth with clams, different fish, shrimp and calamari. The staff is super profesh and are always on hand for whatever you need. I will always recommend this place to anyone looking for a special delicious dinner that won't put you in the red. Go here!!! If its good enough for Peyton Manning, its good enough for you! (He goes here a lot!)

It's a pretty cool place to hang out for dinner. Their caesar was excellent n it came with an awesome cheese cracker. Their lamb was cooked to perfection with a light sauce. My entrÃ©e unfortunately was not as great. My lobster ravioli was undercooked leaving the pasta hard. The ice cream was good n simple. All n all it was not bad but nothing was good.

Meredith C.

First off, I'd like to say that my fiance and I are big fans of the Venice downtown and like to take out of town company here for a nice meal. However, we've recently moved to the Tech Center and since it's the sister restaurant, we assumed that we'd have the same experience. Far from it. I'd also like to point out that part of this is very much my fault. My sister, visiting from out of town, and I had spent the day bridesmaid dress shopping. I have a fracture in a joint in my lower back and too much movement causes extreme discomfort. By the time we got home, I was bedridden. Determined not to ruin the night and cancel dinner, I decided to take a muscle relaxer before heading out, so that I could walk. I knew the meds would do the trick and thinking that I'd be balancing their potency with a heavy Italian meal, I thought it was the perfect solution. We arrived at 6:50 pm and had a 7 pm reservation. I was starting to feel queezy and dopey at about 7:10 (after waiting 20 minutes for our reservation). My sister went up to the counter to inquire about our table and was told that no one had yet left. However, a large homecoming party had come in and been seated as well as several regulars while we waited. By 7:20, I stumbled up to the host desk myself, queezy and dizzy due to the pain meds and told them that I had taken some medication that required food and that we had been waiting over 30 minutes for our table. I was told the same thing as my sister and not even offered a bread basket or appetizer at the bar (had I been more alert, I would have asked). Finally, at 7:40 after FIFTY minutes of waiting for our reservation, we cancelled and walked out. This is disgusting service and ruined what could have been a really lovely evening. I will never dine here, or rather ATTEMPT to dine here again.

This place was amazing! We were so pleased to be out of town and treated with such good manners from our server, Chris! The food was spectacular and the atmosphere was as good as it gets. We had a very large party which was accommodated greatly, we were walked through the menu and dishes as a group and one by one.

Kristen W.

Truly elegant and always delicious Italian fare. The service is impeccable and the simpler dishes are where this place shines. Simple pomodoro sauce exudes flavor and antipasto tray is delicious. The Cioppino is savory and the lobster ravioli sinful. Always a pleasure to visit the Greenwood Village location!

Sarah H.

The food was delicious at Venice. If you like good Italian - give this place a try. 3 stars because of service. Wait staff was rude and had zero flexibility. There were at least 3 people that I saw while we ate there that had a server either spill water on, spill dishes on or even get hit in the head by a sever walking by. The employees did not look like they wanted to work there at all. Go for the food, but don't expect the service to match.

Jim S.

Five stars for the food, one star for the service. Overall maybe two stars. My girlfriend and I have eaten here many times before and we have always enjoyed it. On this particular night the restaurant was very busy, but manageable. We were seated promptly at 8 o'clock, our reservation time, which was surprising given the fact that the restaurant was, as I said, packed. Our server really didn't pay much attention to us from the outset, as it took half an hour for us to get a bottle of wine and our salads came out at 9:00pm, a full hour after we were seated. This seems a bit excessive, even in a busy restaurant. He was having a great time with some of the other tables, however, chatting up a storm and having a grand old time with them. We were left to swing in the breeze. Thanks, buddy. The rest of the meal went better, but I never felt that we were really cared for as we have been in the past. To add insult to injury my credit card was charged twice. It's always a real treat to have to call the credit card company to straighten out someone else's mistake. Thanks, server guy, for this early Christmas gift! I'll give the restaurant a pass this time (not our server), as they were busy, but I'm not sure I will go back anytime soon. Advice to our server and all other servers like him: People are less interested in you and your personal opinions than they are in the service, the food, the ambiance, and the overall experience.

Great service and great food. Good attention to detail from the minute we were greeted by the hostess to the thank you with a warm handshake by the manager on our way out. Everything was perfect. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and made appropriate recommendations in both food and wine. The food was very good and the service pace was just right. Not too slow and not too rushed. We were pleasantly surprised when the waiter brought the chilled bottle at the end of our meal. I don't want to give up any more details. Will go back again for sure and I strongly recommend for a date night or a special evening with friends.

My wife and I are fairly regular diners at Venice. I would say that we have been there over 40 times in the past 5 years. The main reasons we come back time after time is due to the service and consistency! Nunzio (the GM that typically greets you at the door) always makes us feel welcome, and brings a ton of energy to the restaurant. The food is probably the best Italian food in Denver. Everything is made fresh (especially the pasta), and they rotate the specials on a regular basis to feature different flavors throughout the year. The owner/chef Alessandro Carollo produces truly authentic flavors from his home country. Our favorite menu items: Cioppino, Wild Boar Tagliatelle, the Sea Bass, and of course the Osso Buco (if it's on the menu that day). They have an excellent wine selection, along with educated servers. They seldom turnover staff which says a lot about their culture and focus. I highly recommend getting reservations before arrival. They are usually very busy, and you will typically experience a pretty long wait if you just walk in.

ONLY RACISTS EAT AT THIS PLACE. I witnessed something horrible at this place last night that was appalling. A party of approx 12 were seated in the bar area having a good time. Isn't that what you're suppose to do in a restaurant. Obviously, another patron did not think so. He had the audacity to verbally speak out to the party using fowl language and completely disrespecting the party. This idiot could have taken a different route of addressing his complaint by either asking the waiter or owner to ask the jolly party if they could tone it down. Then the owner insulted the party more by taking the side of the idiot. Did I mention that the majority of patrons were Caucasian, and the party of people were of mixed ethnicities. Aren't we in an age where same sex marriage is accepted, a school can have two homecoming queens, and people of all ethnicities can have a good time in a restaurant. I guess not at this place. What's makes it even sadder is that the owner is also a minority! Come on people, don't support this backwards ass place! And to the white racist piece of $&@?, you should be ashamed of yourself.

My family and I went here tonight and had a wonderful time. Our server, Victor, made this possible. Most of the food was wonderful. I wouldn't recommend the tuna carpaccio because it's rather tasteless and the rice came out lukewarm. However, our meals and desserts were wonderful. Considering how busy the restaurant was, I am absolutely amazed with the incredible service. The restaurant was very noisy and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with a hearing impairment (as one of our guests did). However, for anyone okay with the noise, I would highly recommend it. Again,I can't compliment Victor enough. If you request him, you will not be disappointed.

We had our office Holiday luncheon at this location. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding, particularly with over 30 people in our party. I had the salmon with potatoes and spinach and it was delicious and cooked perfectly. The wine was delicious. My boss enjoyed our experience so much that we decided to book next year's holiday luncheon here.

Venice is my favorite restaurant in Denver, but only Venice in Greenwood Village. There is a Venice down town and Chiantis also near DTC which are owned by the same owners and the food is superb at all of them along with the service. Although I will say the vibe at Venice in Greenwood Village is VERY different and a much better experience with a wonderful atmosphere. The food is also excellent along with the service. Triple thumbs up to the bartenders here who work super hard and make exquisite drinks while offering wonderful service and entertainment to guests at the bar. You will not find true Italian food with the service they offer here anywhere else in Denver or even Colorado. Must try!

We love this place! The best Italian food in Denver. Their food is always spectacular. We usually order one of the veal dishes. The nutella dessert is guaranteed to give you a foodgasm. The servers have been adequate in our opinion, and management has bent over backwards to be pleasant on more than one occasion. I will agree with other reviewers about the noise level being way too loud, and advise you to make a reservation.

I came her for a date night with the hubby, it was mediocre to say the least. We have gone to chianti several times and this was so disappointing in comparison to there. I know it's the same company but venices menu is from the 80s and just not fantastic italian food. Chianti will be our only choice from here on...

Very nice Italian restaurant in an unassuming strip-mall in Greenwood Village. I've been here several times and have yet to be disappointed . The service has always been personal and friendly with that "old country" family Italian feel, the food has always been done perfectly and the portion sizes are generous. With apologies to all you PETA advocates out there: the veal scallopini is fantastic and I think the best offering on the menu. I have not spent a lot of time in Italy, but Venice certainly seems to rise to the top in the Denver area as far as a good pick for a genuine feeling and tasting Italian restaurant. Don't let the fact that this place just looks like an insurance agency from the outside turn you off. It's a gem and I haven't found any Italian in Denver that I have enjoyed more.

Reservations are absolutely meaningless at this place. We made reservations for dinner and showed up 5 minutes early, only to be told that they were running a little behind. A little turned in to 40 minutes, before the hostess called us to take us to our table. Only to find that the guy in the suit (Nunzio according to the pictures here) had decided that we weren't good enough for that table. He had someone else he wanted to seat there. When I asked him whey they bothered to take our reservation tonight, his response was: "I didn't take your reservation." I've dined at the downtown location a lot as I work very close by, and the food is great, but after this evening, I will never spend another dime at Venice. Based on my experience and the other reviews, this sounds like a place that caters to its regulars to an extreme. So, unless you're one of them, in which case you're probably not looking on yelp for reviews, STAY AWAY!!

Really nice experience in the middle of a strip mall. Once inside, you can forget all about it. Great service from professional waiters (not just someone putting themselves through school). The food was amazing. I had the Branzino special. For your sake, I hope they have it when you go; it was phenomenal. My wife's Ravioli Arogosto was also good, but the Branzino was amazing. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that the sauces, although they tasted great, appeared to use some thickener, which I really didn't care for. Maybe using some pasta water instead of corn starch or cream of tartar would work (I have no idea if that's what they used, but it's my guess as an amateur cook). Bravo! Will definitely be back here!

THE SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE!!! I have been to Venice before so I thought that this would be a nice place to celebrate a friends 92nd birthday. We arrived and the hostess was very nice and then from that point on it went down hill. The waiter always seemed in a hurray and he was always looking at other tables. He was very short with us, and honestly what was the rush since the restaurant was not packed. The only saving grace was that the food was good. I don't know if I would go back because the service was so bad. We did get a complimentary dessert to celebrate the birthday, but even then, the waiter was too busy to engage with us. It is sad that a bad experience can make you not want to go back to a restaurant.

First class service, ready to please! Slight problems with execution were resolved to our satisfaction. Having spent the Valentines week away from my sweetie, the night I returned made it up to her with a table at Venice, the original outlet of fine Italian restaurants in Denver. I remember when the original Venice was in a tiny hole in the wall now occupied by their sister restaurant, Chianti. This location has a traditional feel, but it's not quiet. The buzz created by couples and small groups adds to the flavor. Our server, Luis, was very attentive at first, but felt us two love birds should be left alone to gaze upon each other. Toward the end of our meal, this turned into a slight liability, as we were ready to settle up & leave, but Luis was hard to find. Once we were seated, two types of bread, water, and Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinegar dip was set. Our meal started with a nice glass of Chianti, paired to our Bufala Caprese appetizer, a tower of two types of Tomato layered with silky & smooth Buffalo Mozzarella. Around the plate was pesto and fresh basil leaves. Ripping the leaves, and additing to the stack gave this appetizer an excellent, complex flavor. For my main course, I went with the basic spaghetti & meatballs. Although the pasta was cooked perfectly, the meatballs were not very warm. Girlfriend had the Eggplant Ravioli, which she raved over, stating it was one of the best meals she'd had in a long time. Finding our server to rectify my problem was difficult. However, once we go his attention, he more than made up for it by offering dessert and a split of prosecco. Very nice ending to a wonderful meal!

I called this place my kitchen when I worked and lived in the area many years ago. I had lunch here almost everyday. Everything was delicious. My favorite was the butternut ravioli with fried sage leaves. My second favorite was the seafood linguini. I'm unsure if it is still owned my the same people which is why they received four stars. The employees back then were terrific.

Nice restaurant with solid food, but somewhat pretentious pricing and average service. I went here recently for a business dinner and enjoyed the veal scallopini -- well prepared and nicely sized. I also had the Caesar salad in a flaky bread bowl, and that was good also. Nothing outstanding, but all of the food items were very good. Wine was somewhat overpriced for the labels I saw (Cline Zin at $10 a glass). Service was generally attentive, but there were some gaps in coverage and slight problems with delivery (for a group of 6, some folks were left waiting for a minute or two while the rest of us had food). This kind of thing is fine if you're at Chili's, but at a $25/entree place, this is the difference between a 4 and a 5 star rating (for me at least). Overall, the pricing struck me as a little bit out of kilter with the quality of the food and the service, but the food was good enough for me to want to return. May not be my favorite Italian restaurant ever, but it's good and one of the best I've found in the area.

Excellent food, very elegant, excellent waiter. I've been there several times, and always loved it. My only cautions, besides the slightly steep price, is that they tend to do the pasta and risotto too al-dente for my tastes: it tastes and feels a little raw in my mouth. But if you mention that to them, they take care of it and the flavors are wonderful.

We had a good but not outstanding experience at Venice. In summary: the quality of the food was good, the prices were a bit high, and the service was slow. We had an early 5:30 reservation and were the fourth table or so to be seated that evening. We were seated quickly, but without menus. The waiter asked us for drinks, but I didn't have the wine list. After getting our menus, I decided on a glass of Mosel riesling that was well priced at $7/pour. The apps seemed expensive, however, around a typical $12-$16 price point. I chose the mussels, which ended up being very good and served with a rich tomato sauce. After our starters came, however, the waiting began. I ordered the special gnocchi with lamb and mushroom sauce, my wife ordered a spicy shrimp pasta, and my daughters had the lobster ravioli and fettuccini alfredo. Now by this time the room was filling up, but we placed our entree orders when we ordered our apps and it still took a good 25 minutes from the time I finished my last mussel to the time my potato pasta showed up. At one point, our waiter said, "your food will be our in a few minutes" but it was still around 10 minutes when he came back with our plates. The girls' plates were all steaming hot, but my gnocchi was barely warm. The flavor was good at least. The best part of the experience was seeing a local restaurant that was absolutely packed on a Saturday night. This place has potential, if they can only manage time. When we left, there were people lined up out the door. No doubt, they could have turned our table over much earlier had they kept pace.

We were headed here for our company holiday lunch and after reading the reviews I was rather excited to experience good food, good atmosphere and an overall good experience. Boy was I set up for a disappointment. First off the wait staff is slow. We sat down and our drinks were ordered and after what seemed a long time the waiter returned asking if we were ready to order. Since we had no menus; that would be hard to do. After we received the menus he was back within 2 minutes asking again. Probably because the place was empty I initially thought we were subject to such attentive service. But that wasn't the case either as only food coming and order taking was the case. No refills, bread, water, etc... Appetizers seemed over priced, but we ordered two and were somewhat disappointed. The waiter described what each was, but upon tasting it was clear he was remiss in his descriptions. Two of us splurged and ordered the veal. It was luke warm when it arrived, and the small shaped mashed potato was cold. Veal by definition is a tender meat; but it was more like a chicken fried steak! The butter knife took some heavy use to cut through, it was tough and certainly not veal... The side of penne pomodoro, that was supposed to come with it arrived about 5 minutes after the initial meal, and was steaming hot. I have commented before about hot food, generally you want hot entrÃ©e's but there is a point where you wonder how they got it so hot. (Can you say microwave?) A small bowl of pena pasta that was so hot it steamed for over 5 minutes (we joked at the table taking bets how long it would stay steaming). Pasta sauce to my knowledge isn't cooked at a rolling boil is it? It was quite unfavorable and disappointing after you got over the initial mouth burn. Finally the garlic. I love garlic in my food, but WHOLE cloves hidden in your food? Several of us were quite taken aback by the discovery of these in our food. Overall disappointing, poor service and lack luster food for the prices.

Outstanding! The food was amazing and the service was good. We were greeted with champaign and a nice salmon appetizer as soon as we walked in the door. The owner helped us pick out a great bottle of wine. We will be back!

The best pasta in Denver, truly great sauces, and al dente preparation. Their salads are terrific, the spinach salad yummy. I had the flat noodles with mushrooms and Italian bacon in a cream/marinara sauce, it was incredible. The wine selection was very good. We were there on a buy night and still their service was stellar. Will go there many times more.

We have been to this WONDERFUL place a few times now and every time exceeds the last. The service is always top notch as well as the amazing italian food. This is how Italian should be done.

We celebrated our 33rd anniversary at this restaurant. We had a wonderful experience. From the hostess's greeting to the complimentary glasses of champagne at the end of our meal, all was perfect. The hostess was the right amount of friendly. The service was prompt, but not hurried. The drinks were generous. The martini was excellent. The food was delicious. To top it off, the restaurant is lovely. We wanted for nothing. We will happily recommend this restaurant to our friends.

Two Denver locations specialize in white tablecloth service and full course meals. A selection of tasting menus are available for indecisive diners. Given the preponderance of nice Italian restaurants in Denver, Venice is probably a bit overpriced.

Whenever I'm asked what my favorite restaurant is, this is my go-to response. Year after year it holds up. Try the Osso Bucco with whatever nice wine they recommend. Have the Limoncello aperitif. In a strip mall? Yes, a little odd. But after having the food, I truly don't care!

Its different than downtown-- I've written a review already on that one...but 1) the food is just better here. I'm not sure why, but it is. 2) the place is more personal. too. Everyone here is attentive, friendly, and extremely willing to bring you whatever you want. Wine, cocktails, after dinner drinks, salad, entrees, etc-- its all great. and its quick, and they bring you more until you are SO FULL that you have to essentially roll yourself out to the parking lot. I had great wine (they have a great big wine list), bread, a pear salad, chicken parmesan (a special Venice variety), a cappuccino, limoncello, peach-cello, and at this point, I'm not sure what else but it was all really amazing. The service, the food, the atmosphere, the staff-- its all topnotch. Oh, and there is a ton of free parking available too by the way. The only reason it isn't a 5- star for me is because I'm not sure I like the crowd...there were a few strange people there this evening...and not strange in an eclectic sort of way.... I also felt very young and more "hip" than the average diner. But what can I say-- we were in Greenwood Village. And yes, in a strip mall...

Very good food. For the price there is better true Italian in town.

This place has an entirely different vibe than it's sister in LoDo. The space is chic and cozy, white banners swoon against the ceiling as Andrea Bocelli resonates throughout the room. The clientele is definitely older and it lacks the hipness the other embodies, but the food is still fantastic, service is spot on, and the environment is elegance elegance elegance. Also, they have a pear ravioli that the other menu does not...mmmmmmm. Wine list is decent, there are some yummy ones that are still affordable. The Carmel Road Pinot is one of my favorites!

We just don't get it. Other Yelp diners and our friends who joined us for lunch raved about Venice. That was not our experience. The food was entirely unremarkable and the service was equally bland. The meatballs were hard and dry and the lunch portion of the spaghetti was small. The salmon salad was bland - mixed baby greens, a couple slivers of zuchinni and salmon that was overdone. We had to ask for bread which also was hard and dry. It seemed to be an imposition on our waiter to proactively refill beverages. Overal it was a meh experience and one we will not repeat. I don't think our loyal friends will be back to Venice soon either.

Venice, Greenwood Village, seems more suited to group or account business than to individual dining. We dined there for the first time recently, midweek, and had a similar experience to Harvey L.: long waits after early arrival, good food but not great or gourmet, let alone organic, whole grain or otherwise health-conscious (no longer an extravagance!). This sort of advance is admittedly still not the rule, but most of us are tired of paying to search in vain for higher grade nutrition at restaurants. Expect high fat content here, by way of either meat or cheese in everything, incl. an otherwise nicely dressed salad. Appreciated decent artisan bread and fresh pasta (still oddly hard to find in many Denver Italian restaurants). We've eaten in big restaurant cities and know the difference. Venice is overpriced, overcrowded and deafeningly noisy. The bill came to over $100 for 1 cocktail, 2 glasses of wine, 2 salads and 2 ravioli plates (good, but lacking depth of stock flavor) and tip. This would be a perfect neighborhood eatery with fewer and smaller tables, and updated its approach to fresh, more vegetable-oriented, healthy well-made dishes (as one finds in Italy) at a more reasonable price.

This is some of the best Italian I have had since I left the East Coast 8 yrs ago. I lived in Boston and ate in the north end so I know Italian food! Plus I'm a Zappia! They are particularly great on Valentine's Day where the offer a fabulous menu for 2 that is like a little tour of Italy.

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
