Pizzeria Venezia in East Northamptonshire

Just the best Italian Pizzeria in the area. We are so lucky in Wellingborough to have such a long established well respected restaurant in our area. The owner and staff are just the best too....👏👏

Always a warm welcome and everyone is made to feel like one of the family. Superb food and excellent service

Always a great place to go. Good is great, tried a pasta dish for once instead of the pizza options. Was really good.

Great friendly traditional restaurant.

Popped into Pizza Venezia on a spontaneous Thursday night outing with the family, no reservations - just walked right in. Despite the place buzzing with the pre-rush energy, the staff welcomed us with open arms, juggling their tasks with a smile. They knew they were about to hit a busy spell, but that didn't stop them from being super helpful and accommodating. I went for the Bella Calabria with 'nduja – a choice I'd make a hundred times over! My wife opted for the pepperoni pizza, while the kids decided to team up on a pizza of their own. On a side note, I asked if they could whip up a garlic dip, boy, was I pleasantly surprised. It was amazing. I've made a mental note to make Pizza Venezia our family's pizza hub. There's something about supporting local places that just feels right – way better than the usual franchise pizza joints. Big shoutout to everyone at Pizza Venezia; you're doing amazing work. You've not only earned a pizza lover for life but also a fan who's all in for supporting your success. Keep rocking those pizzas; we'll be back for more. Much love and wishing you all the success in the world! Ps. The wedges are also absolutely delicious too.

Great food ... Nice atmosphere... very friendly staff Definitely recommend

Always a fabulous evening with lots of friendly staff serving the best food you could ask for

Lovely food, and very helpful and attentive staff. Good value lunchtime deal. Ace pizza.

My husband & I went for Valentines night. You can park next door in the car park-for free . The whole experience was top class. The food was spectacular, tasty, fresh and beautiful presented. The staff were very attentive and knowledgeable of each of the dishes. It was a set menu with a variety of choices. Will definitely go back, looking forward to it. Thanks for a lovely evening 💖

Possibly the best pizza ive ever had anywhere, quick service, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff 10/10 Will be back again.

I’m grateful for making the decision against a takeaway and to eat in the restaurant…. Four weeks later and we’ve been back every week. The food and service is fantastic. I don’t understand why we order from these big pizza chains or terrible wannabe pizza places, or buy supermarket ready to bake, when places like this exist. This has become a regular for us and are telling everyone we know how great it is. (Two years ago: Decent food delivered quickly and hot).

Great food, welcoming staff. The only criticism would be that there wasn't much of a selection on the desert menu but apart from that no complaints. Would definitely recommend

All I can say is OMG the food was absolutely lovely. The presentation was good but the taste of everything we had was amazing. We had a big party of people, all food came out together and every dish was perfect. Staff so friendly. Thank you so much for an enjoyable evening. We will definitely be coming back soon. X

A lovely evening out with friends 😊 the food is always fantastic. With it being a Christmas party evening, I was slightly disappointed with the disco - for me, the volume was too loud and the play list was heavy on retro disco. Overall it was amazing 👏

Great food, Great atmosphere.. if you’re after a quality pizzaz, you won’t go wrong here.

Just come from an organised Christmas Lunch for 24 today 6th December, what a wonderful place this is , warm welcome, great ambiance - and scrummy food - what else do you need. Only been in the area a couple of years - never been here before but will book up for family or friends when eating out in the future. Well done eveyone at Pizzeria Venezia!! BELLISIMO !

Five star service five star staff five star all the way. Bloody good food lovely place to eat take the family food excellent try the special nites. Trust us you will not be disappointed.

A great atmosphere from a family run restaurant .prompt service .menu explained .

Excellent food service exceptional definitely worth a visit

Another fabulous lunch. Very obliging and attentive staff, and brilliant food. What little was left (three slices of pizza and two of garlic bread) were boxed up for us to take home for later

Loved everything about the place. The food is so good. You can sit in or outside watching the lake.

This was an amazing find. Don't be fooled by the exterior (bit weirdly the windows are covered with views of Italy so you can't see inside), the food served here was an absolute delight. There were staff in abundance, a nice relaxed atmosphere and at a very reasonable price. We will definitely be returning.

Met up with friends, had a lovely tasty meal. Service was friendly, clean restaurant and toilets. Vert tasty food. Would recommend 👌

I live 100 miles away from this restaurant but was visiting a friend who suggested we eat here as she had recently moved to the area, and had heard good things about it. As my title says, please don't be put off my the exterior. The windows are actually covered up with scenes of Italy, which in a way cheapenes the look of the place and also means you can't see inside. Once inside though you get the feeling this is the real deal. It's not overly fancy, but with its deep green walls, it feels cosy and inviting. We visited on a Saturday night and it was busy but there was an abundance of staff so our drinks and food order was taken promptly. We started with Don's Special Mushrooms and I had Buratta on Toasted Focaccia. Oh my goodness it was one if the best starters I have ever had at an Italian restaurant. It really was a taste sensation and my friend said she could have eaten another portion of the mushrooms as her main meal. For mains we had Tortellini alla Panna and I had the Lasagne. Again, both meals were absolutely delicious. My friend was unable to eat all of her Tortellini and they were happy to pack up what was left for her to take home. Unfortunately there was no way we had room for dessert! This restaurant is an absolute gem it really is. Fantastic food, great staff and service, I have made my friend promise that we will visit again when I am next visiting her!!!

We wanted to celebrate the birthday of a lovely lady in our craft group by all going out for lunch today. There were 11 of us and we were treated so well. Nothing was too much trouble, the food was delicious and the service impeccable. We're already booked in for our Christmas celebration lunch! Thank you to all the wonderful staff for making it an extra special occasion.

Tantalising Tuesday set menu was great value for money and really enjoyable

I recently ordered a takeaway pizza, and while there was an issue with my order, the staff handled it with remarkable speed and efficiency. They addressed the problem swiftly and ensured that I left satisfied with their service. Excellent customer service :), thank you If you're looking for the best pizza in town for takeaway, I highly recommend Venezia. It's a delightful treat that you can enjoy in the comfort of your own home.

Fabulous reasonably price food. Staff were very friendly and could not do enough for you. Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant, not rushed at all. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend.

Great place to eat, the Lasagne was delicious.

Went here with family for my mum's birthday as we knew it wouldn't disappoint. Staff are nice and friendly, food is delicious, so delicious I forgot to take photos although it looked as good as it tasted. Will definitely be back here.

Really enjoyed our meal and the service was great too. Hidden gem! The Monday specials were such good value and had a really good range of choices. Can’t fault it and will definitely be back :-)

A delicious meal with great entertainment, lovely setting and great service x

We came here for a Monday night special menu, we informed the restaurant we were celebrating just getting married on the booking . We had a brilliant meal, delicious food, great portion sizes and the service was exceptional. As we were paying the bill, The staff were very kind and sent us home with a bottle of wine on the house and congratulated us on our wedding, we were so grateful! We will definitely return and look forward to more evenings here. Thanks so much again.

No better family restaurant! In true Italian tradition… All the food is excellent, Pizza is especially good. The staff are welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Lunch time (great value lunch time menu) or evening it’s a pleasure to visit.

Absolutely wonderful restaurant first time visit for my sons 21st birthday. Lovely food, served promptly and happy birthday played and a candle for my son with his dessert and restaurant all clapped very nice and unexpected. The restaurant was full and it was a monday night everone smiling and enjoying themselves. Bravo.

Been going here for decades, but as moved from area not visited recently. Glad to report food is still top quality and delicious. I am part Italian, so fussy about where I eat, but have never had a bad meal here. Highly recommend.

Our waiter Jay was lovely and attentive, very polite and helpful. I did not find it acceptable that the other gentleman working alongside Jay appeared to berate him at the bar in earshot of customers on two occasions. Quite unprofessional. I have nothing but positive praise for Jay.

Lovely welcome and great food as always..

Just enjoyed a wonderful meal. Excellent service - will definitely return. David and Judy

Been living in Rushden for over 15 years and not been here. My wife and I decided on a date night and booked here for an early Saturday evening meal for 2. Service was brilliant, food was great and the price (£30 each for 3 courses and drinks) was a bargain. Couldn't recommend highly enough and will definitely not be leaving it so long for our next visit

Very pleasant atmosphere and staff. Attention to details and amazing italian menu for any choice. Will go there again!

Lunchtime so a bit quiet. Enjoyed it

Excellent service and meal. Would recommend if you like Italian food.

Came here fir a birthday meal, this Italian is a little gem! The food was fabulous and the staff were friendly. Great prices too!

Nice varied menu and really efficient and attentive waiting personnel. The setting was a little tired and dated, and it was very noisy. Some dishes were enjoyed more than others. It was lovely that the staff remembered that our meal was to celebrate a birthday, and they unexpectedly brought out a cake and candle, which was lovely and very much appreciated.

Love it, the best pizza and carbonara, almost the same good as in Naples (^.^)(^.^)(^.^)

Fantastic service , came here tonight for a family meal. Food was very good and the addition of free bread with oil was a lovely touch. Pizzas came quickly and were all very good, my mum’s pasta didn’t have much sauce on it but the waitress was brilliant , offered to put some more sauce on it and also knocked it off the bill. Desserts were good, ice cream and sorbet was very good. All the waiters /waitresses and staff were friendly and polite, very good

Good location and access. Attentive service. Environment requires maintenance. Good prices, but food leaves something to be desired. I don't recommend the house wine.

First started going here as a child. Returned as an adult. Memories were accurate and this remains an amazing place to eat. Food is lovely. Staff are friendly. Worth a visit

This is a little gem. We all agree the food was amazing with great service. Will definitely go back. Highly recommended

Lovely friendly hosts, would highly recommend trying

Ok, but a quite underwhelmed. We had been planning to visit for some time and did so on Saturday night with another couple. The service was impeccable. Really friendly attentive staff. Sadly the food, in my opinion was average. I had the prawns to start, two had calamari and one had the mushrooms. The mushrooms was the best dish by far. For mains, the two guys had the veal, my friend had spaghetti carbonara and I had the butternut risotto. The spaghetti was fabulous, the veal was ok, the risotto was dry, bland and had so much sage in it I could not eat it at all. My friends all tried it too and agreed it was awful. They did reduce the price of the item by half as a gesture, but was disappointed and hungry when I left. Not one for us I’m afraid. The restaurant was busy and plenty of people having a great time, so must have just been an off night for us.

Monday and Tuesday special menu are brilliant value for money

Enjoyed a very pleasant meal at the special Tuesday price

Always amazing food very person centered

Thank you for all staff for amazing job. Restaurant was full and we didnt have reservation and still we were seated, amazing proactive approach. Great food, great customer service, everybody so lovely. I already recomended this restaurant to all of my friends. Thank you for making our evening perfect

Fantastic restaurant! Foods is delicious at great prices! Fully recommended :)

Lovely restaurant, friendly staff and the food is very good. Portion sizes are large. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Beautiful place, food and staff were excellent, warm inviting atmosphere within, everything made fresh. First class

Food excellent and the staff are friendly

Good food, friendly staff. I loved the starter and main but not so keen on dessert

Always very nice to go in and eat, also really like to get home orders every now and then.

Not been here for a few years as now live out of town, however was visiting, and this is my go to for a nice Italian meal. Lots of new young staff but main family people have not changed, which is nice to see. I reconsidered them but probably not the other way. Amazing meal and so accommodating to my gluten free friend. Would recommend to anyone for a nice Italian meal. Very reasonably priced also

I wrote my last review when the summer menu was out. It was five star. So here’s my Autumn menu review: Lovely people who couldn’t be more obliging to a family with older guests with unusual requests (split meals for example). The service remains exceptional, and the menu has changed….more pasta, risotto and warming dishes for the colder months. Fewer on menu pizzas (but they will make whatever you ask for). Some real stars added to the starters this season: tasty smoked pigeon, gorgeous burrata with a tasty dressing among others. Lovely people, good food, pleasant ambience. It’s a really nice place to visit.

Been here now 4 times. We feel at home here. Love the place! Food is almost perfect - couple dishes are alittle to salty but each to their own! Love there little home made bread rolls! with the balsamic and olive oil 👌😍 Couple of the busiest times the dinning room not at best, Damp table cloth! On 1 occasion and bits of noticeable food on floor around the table. Could have been cleared before inviting guests to table. Also bathroom light very dim definatly needs to be brighter after couple drinks! Staff are nice very Welcoming! nice to see staff being so high spirited & speak polite whilst being human. P

Great place staff are absolutely brilliant always good food service 5star.

Another very enjoyable visit to this Authentic Italian Restaurant. Cesar and his team made us feel very welcome, the food is delicious and the atmosphere friendly and very welcoming.

Really tasty, great food & great prices a real authentic Italian restaurant.

Terrible food that was not eaten. In fact the best part of the delivery was the box the food came in!

What a lovely restaurant. Fabulous friendly and smiley service from all the staff. Really welcoming and they surprised us with a slice of birthday cheesecake which was homemade and nut free for the birthday girl. Great with our allergies and intolerances and the food was well presented and yummy. Great night had by all.

Decent pizza they do gluten free options

Delicious food, lovely staff and Real italian atmospher!

Been coming here for many years, always great service great food and a great night!

Always a delight ..lovely food and service

What a wonderful place to celebrate a family wedding. From start to finish Cesare and his attentive staff have gone above and beyond to accommodate everyone and I have had nothing but compliments from all of the guests. Food was outstanding and so pleased to be able to call this my local Italian. Thank you so much x

Bland, basic, looked and tasted like microwave..another local Italian takeaway so much better but they were on holiday .I won’t ever waste my money again here..would prefer a meal from co-op..whoever took my order was a bit rude same as when we collected

Lovely local family, great service and amazing food. They looked after us very well!!

Never anything to complain about here; the service is great, the food is always excellent and good value for money. Have been many times over the years, always fantastic!

Great food at a reasonable price too. Attentive service but not over the top. Been here several times and not been disappointed, would definitely recommend.

Fantastic meal, First Class service.

Popped in off the cuff having heard so many good things about this place. Food can only be described as bland/tasteless and looked as if it had been microwaved. I saw 2 or 3 other diners sending their food back for unknown reasons. I have eaten all over the world, including across Italy, and this is one of the worst meals I have ever had. Maybe they were having an off day but I certainly wouldn’t eat there again. Staff were friendly.

Very nice Pizzeria, friendly service at a good price.

Excellent food, very good service.

Very good food, good service. Plenty of choice

I can't say too many nice things about the restaurant, the food and especially the staff. I hosted a group of friends this evening and they went above and beyond to not only accommodate us (we had a mixture of tastes and young children in our party) but to really make us feel at home. To really top it off they looked after us while waiting for a taxi that they organized (my mistake for not pre ordering, if you're local you'll understand) giving us a sofa to wait on and a beer while waiting. Absolutely five star service and food to match, cannot recommend enough.

I normally get a take out but I have to say the food that bob the chef puts out is absolutely perfect

We visit regularly as a family of three generations. The service is always good, the staff friendly and helpful, and the food consistently very good. Almost all the dishes can be requested as a small portion so people with small appetites (whether children or just not particularly hungry) can enjoy a quality meal together rather than being relegated to a menu of nursery food as in so many restaurants these days. The food is always very good, and sometimes exceptional; hence this review: The summer menu is out and the Nduja risotto is to die for! Its is simultaneously punchy with spice and comforting with silky creaminess; a difficult balance to master and yet perfectly carried off here.

A little disappointed on this occasion. Eaten here many times in the past. Not much meat in the dishes and far too much cheese. Food was a little bland unfortunately

The waiters are very friendly. Food is good.

Thanks so much for finding us a table on Saturday evening having been let down from another venue. Again fabulous food, fabulous service and we will return!!

For someone that is used to London restaurants this place which was very unassuming and was a very pleasant surprise. The quality of food was wonderful and the staff where very attentive which is currently lacking in restaurants in London due to the staffing issues being faced by all hospitality establishments.

Food was bland. Undercooked. Probably the worst Italian I've had to date. The seating at a church is more comfortable

Visited for my wife’s birthday. Was made very welcome. Service was great and the food was faultless. They don’t have. Kids menu but will do half size portions for them. The variety and amount on the menu was pleasing. All our food was delicious. They...

The best Italian pizzas in town. Great food and great service.

Food and service excellent looking forward to next visit car park adjacent

Came in here for lunch was greeted with a,friendly smile, fantastic service food was lovely. Cannot wait to visit again

Such a lovely Italian restaurant in the heart of Rushden owners and staff are very welcoming and pleasant. Good selection of wines and the food so far has been absolutely amazing. Would give more stars if at possible

What can I say love this restaurant been going for many years always a warm welcome and fabulous food. So good my son now taking his girlfriend here Favourite restaurant so glad your back

Very welcoming. Great service and great food at a reasonable price!
