Il Venetian

This place is amazing! The best staff! Great romantic atmosphere as well. First of all, we decided to start with Wagyu beef carpaccio as an appetizer. It was not my favorite, to be honest! Then, for our main course, we had the Stuffed Agnolotti, the Chicken ILVenetian, and the Spaghetti mixed with seafood. My favorite dish was the veal stuffed Agnolotti, which comes with very delicious pistachio sauce. Very creamy! Will come again to order it! Our waiter well explained the Manu before we ordered because it was our first time here, Great job! I'm allergic to mushrooms, so they make the entire it without them. Appreciate that! We had a complimentary Tiramisu from our waiter. I highly recommend this dessert! Great experience👍

Last minute reservation and wow!!! This was my first time and my boyfriends second, we are young and I’m delighted to note that no one looked at us like we were in the wrong place… They were able to accommodate us at a lovely table. Service was FANTASTIC and the food was even better! Beautiful ambiance and live music. Even leftovers are delicious.. I’LL BE BACK!

VOTED “BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT IN OHIO” By 5 REASONS TO VISIT February 2023 Il Venetian is stunning and elegant inside with tall ceilings, beautiful chandeliers, and modern furnishings! The interior of Il Venetian is a collaboration of both local and Italian designers. Much of the artwork, chandeliers, sculptures, and glasswork was imported directly from Venice and other Italian cities. Of course they have bread service and I think I ate 3 pieces 😳😳 The cheese board was perfect paired with an Il Venetian salad and tomato basil soup! Perfect lunch!

We celebrated a Freinds birthday Friday evening at the Venetian restaurant downtown Cleveland. The restaurant was beautiful and cozy. We were seated immediately. The service was superb. Our waiter Jamil was awesome and very professional. The manager Bob came out and introduced himself. The food was fantastic. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to my next visit.

Dinner was delectable from start to finish. Hubby & I enjoyed the calamari fritti for starters & for entrees we had the cheese ravioli & agnolotti. The portions were fairly large so we didn’t have room for dessert; however, they had several scrumptious options to chose from as I couldn’t help myself from viewing the menu. While I can’t recall the names of the cocktails we had, they were well made as our server helped us select a couple according to our preferences (that were on the sweeter side). The restaurant is exquisitely decorated and it was crowded for a Saturday evening, so I highly recommend making reservations.

We went for my partners 30th birthday. Overall had a great experience. The staff was super attentive. Hostess was super nice and apologetic when seating us with people in the way. The food was great though! I loved the seafood pasta that I ordered. My partner had the pork chop. Super moist!Everything tasted amazing. Even the desert. Overall had a great exp here. It was quiet loud so don’t expect to be able to converse a whole ton since the sound bounces. But still a great place for special occasions.

“It feels like we are on vacation in Italy, not here in Cleveland” said my friend. Highly stylized tasteful decor and delicious food. We listened to Cleveland Scene Magazine and ordered the hand made gnocchi - it was perfect!!!! We also had a burrata salad with the sun dried tomato purée - fabulous flavor and textures!!!! One friend had the tagliatelle and veggies - very good. The bread was amazing too! Desserts were good - olive oil cake for someone without a sweet tooth and the chocolate cake for a chocolate lover - not sweet but still so decadent. Drinks were good also - the old fashioned came out smoking :)!
