Venezia Taunton in Taunton Deane

Excellent food, attentive staff.

Another delicious Sunday lunch. Risotto with salmon and seafood, and chicken with mushrooms and peppers - my favourite ‘go-to’ dish - see photo. On the way home, we were asked for directions to Venezia. ( It’s next to the sex shop and opposite the funeral directors.) Little did the man know we’d just eaten there. We hope he enjoyed it as much as we do. First rate restaurant, with recently refurbished interior, excellent service and the best food in Taunton.

The best Italian food 👌. Lovely staff too.

The best place to Dine in , very delicious Food Great atmosphere,Lovely people. Don’t miss out ,Absolutely recommended place.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice Italian restaurant. Dinner was excellent, food very tasty. It's a little too tight, tables are too close to each other, it can be very loud too.

Having visited Italy many times , my son is a big fan of authentic Italian food and has very high standards on quality. He visited Venezia and was very impressed by all aspects of this restaurant. Service , food and ambience were all spot on !! Hence my husband and I booked this restaurant for my birthday , after my son’s glowing recommendations. We were not disappointed. Absolutely lovely experience on all counts. We are very lucky to have this fab restaurant in our area. Keep doing what you are doing guys

Excellent and friendly service. The food was beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. Ice creams tasted superb, An excellent evening, would recommend with out reservation.

This is an excellent restaurant. I cannot fault the standard of service or quality of dishes served. I attended a large group dinner gathering (18) and everything that came out of the kitchen was served together, hot and well presented. I then rebooked a few days later for a special family gathering. Some of us took advantage of an excellent value Monday special - steak, chips and wine for two for £40. Again, we were not disappointed. The house wines are also very good and prices are very reasonable for the quality of dishes. A real gem of a restaurant for Taunton.

It is a fantastic place to have a meal. We went there with children and they enjoyed diner too. Great food, fantastic atmosphere and lovely staff.

Excellent little restaurant, large menu selection, good sized portions, very pleasant staff. Comfortable seats, will definitely return with my partner 😊

We visited on Sunday 4th November to have a special meal for our wedding anniversary of which was in the week. The food was fantastic as usual.

The food and the place was absolutely amazing..we had various starters and amazing pasta, risotto and steak as a main..very well executed..the service was ok just needs more attention to details..overall I would highly recommend the restaurant 😃

Tasty food with generous portions. Noisy like most Italian restaurants but fun

I recently dined at this incredible Italian restaurant, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warm, professional service by the staff. The waiters were exceptionally polite, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, ensuring that everything was perfect from start to finish. The food was absolutely outstanding. The pasta dishes were rich and flavorful, cooked to perfection with sauces that tasted like they came straight from Italy. The pizzas had the perfect balance of a crispy yet airy crust and fresh, delicious toppings—easily some of the best I’ve ever had. For my main course, I opted for a medium-rare steak, and it was sublime. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and tender, it was seasoned just right, delivering a truly memorable dining experience. And the desserts—oh my! Whether you're a fan of tiramisu, panna cotta, or gelato, their selection is divine. Each dessert was beautifully presented and tasted as amazing as it looked. Beyond the food, the restaurant was spotless. Cleanliness is clearly a priority, which made the experience even more enjoyable. From the ambiance to the impeccable service, this place offers everything you could hope for in an Italian dining experience. Highly recommended—I'll definitely be returning soon!

As buzzy and noisy as it gets but the service was good and food was both generous and yummy

Quick service, food was warm and delicious, my son got a free dessert as a birthday gift with a candle, the staff was very kind. Will definitely come back.

Outstanding value for money - kind, generous, patient and so welcoming. A fantastic atmosphere created by staff and so smiley. Thank you all for a wonderful evening

Love this place. We were a family group of 11. There were about 8 or more other customers in at the time. Our service was superb. The food is pure Italian, as it should be. We will not stop going to this restaurant.

I highly recommend it. Delicious food, beautifully presented, friendly service, and very nice decor. We will definitely visit this place more than once🥰

We have eaten here 4 times in 13 days. We have eaten with relatives and just the two of us. That’s because of the delicious meals - and there is a wide variety of- the first class service and the ambiance. It’s no surprise that it gets so many 5 star reviews. We choose to eat here to celebrate birthdays and wedding anniversaries, as well as visiting on Sundays or just popping in during the week. Definitely our restaurant of choice.

Excellent every time. This was my forth. Visit to Venezia in Taunton and as with the previous three visits, everything was excellent, the food, the service and the ambience. Well done and thank you Venezias for delivering a consistently excellent experience every visit.

A wonderful evening out with family. The food was delicious/ Superb food . Highly accommodating friendly staff .Excellent value for money. Just a lovely little restaurant to visit.

My favourite Italian restaurant, service is always very good and the food is always amazing! would definitely recommend

First visit and will definitely return. A gem of a restaurant and the whole evening was lovely.

Delicious food, nice atmosphere and great service

We had a great meal at Venezia in Taunton on 24.08.24. This restaurant stands head and shoulders above others in the area, whether part of a chain or independently owned. The food was exceptionally good from starters to desert. The menu is classic Italian. As a family we have all been on holiday to Italy many times and we all agreed this restraunt was as good as any we'd been to in Lazio or Tuscany. The service was impeccable and it was nice to get through a meal without being continually pestered and asked "is everything is ok" which is always annoying. Venezia also has a great atmosphere and we felt at home from the begining. We will certainly be going back and must congratulate the owners on creating a great dining experience; this is now our new favourite in Taunton.

Lovely restaurant. Staff were fabulous. Food was delicious, hot and quite quick to the table. Really recommend, and will definitely return!

I was surprised how dry my risotto was. And my friends pasta was microwaved and extremely hot. Unfortunately it's a one time visit from us.

Celebrated my daughter’s 17th birthday here, such a wonderful place, the service was outstanding the food was delicious everyone in our party of 13 cleared their plates. They made it extra special when they brought out the main with happy birthday on the plate. The portions were so big we had no room for pudding but then they brought out a tiramisu with a candle where we sung happy birthday. We had to ask for extra spoons as it was delicious. Highly recommend to anyone local or on holiday in Taunton you will not be disappointed. We will definitely visit again if we are on holiday here again. Absolutely fabulous a must visit for anyone who loves food as great variety.

Visited for the first time last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we will definitely be back again! The atmosphere is really lovely and the service was absolutely spot on. Food was delicious and very good portion sizes. We love Italian food so will definitely have to come again.

Very delicate food and very typical Italian furniture.

A family of 6 for get together meal Recommended by bro whom visits regularly Overall small but friendly atmosphere with menu to cover all tastes including vegetarian Price were very good Some of the group had starters and all choices were of good size and quality My wife had the gnocchi and enjoyed , for myself had the duck asked for pink and it was cooked to perfection Other meals were tasty and of good quality I was assured Desserts varied I chose not to partake but my wife had the tiramisu which she advised was good Service polite and efficient My only gripe was not being asked during maid if everything was ok, this alone could lead to a complaint if not checked during service, ours was all good but I missed this important part of any dining experience

Fantastic little restaurant, best Italian food I've had this side of the Alps, my wife was nearly in tears over the tiramisu! Service was attentive, but not obtrusive, staff were lovely and helpful.

Lovely food , excellent service and nice atmosphere. Well done team Venezia 🇮🇹

Went on a lunchtime so a bit quiet but great food, good portion size. Will go again.

Food is good but inside it lacks any atmosphere. Tables from the 1980s, ditto chairs, tiny paper napkins. We were on a table for 4 and could hardly move. No hint of anything Italian with bare walls and dreadful colours on the brick walls. Staff lacked Italian charm. It reminded us of a greasy spoon decor.

Food was delicious and service was fab. Staff are very friendly and atmosphere is lovely Highly recommend

We went for lunch for a birthday celebration. Would come back in a heartbeat. The service was amazing the choice of food was fabulous and the quality of food was second to none - the best restaurant in Taunton

Venezia is a lovely intimate restaurant with a great atmosphere, busy but you have your space, attentive staff providing quick service and REALLY good pizza!

Not wheelchair accessible. No accessible toilet.

Thank you Venezia for a delicious dinner and a wonderful party for our daughter's 18th birthday. The food was fresh, delicious and beautifully presented

Attentive team, very accommodating. Specials change weekly and the food is delicious! Hard to please my picky eater children but we love coming here as a family ♥️ My favourite is the king prawn linguine #supportlocal

As it was my birthday we decided to go out for dinner stopping at Venezia to see if they had a table available. Luckily they were able to fit us in. One of the team must of overheard my wife wishing me happy birthday as when my food came out there was a birthday message on it. Great attention to detail, always the little things that make the most difference Thank you.

Friendly efficient staff 😃 very helpful, lovely atmosphere, absolutely amazing, will definitely be back. Food is wonderful

Would like to thank venezia for another outstanding meal again never let's us down with there food and service nothing is to much for them outstanding staff who has always got a smile on there faces

I’m down in Taunton with work and having not arrived until 9pm after a long day in Bristol and Bath, I was hungry and tired and in need of some dinner. I had an absolutely delicious meal with you and am very grateful you accommodated me despite it being late on a Tuesday evening. Wonderful food and great service. I’ll definitely visit you again when I’m next down in Taunton. Thank you.

First visit here. Had an enjoyable meal. The prawn linguine was excellent. Good menu with plenty to choose from and good wine selection. Service was efficient and professional. Good value for money and will return.

Nice cozy restaurant, friendly staff and food is amazing. Have been there a couple of times with family and friends and we all loved the food. The smell when you go inside the restaurant is very appealing.

Fabulous! I had heard good reviews about this restaurant and thought I would try it out. My friend and I both had delicious meals and the service was excellent. Glad I booked in advance as the restaurant was busy for a Monday evening but this added to the ambience. Highly recommended and I will definitely be returning.

We had seen the weekend specials on Facebook whilst still at home, and I fancied the lamb shank. Last time I had one, many years ago, I was unable to manage it; it was too large. However, I decided to try it today and it was delicious, as was the gravy and vegetables. I didn't manage to strip the bone, but ate almost all of the lamb which was melt-in-the-mouth and delicious. We eat here regularly, but this dish was truly superb. Thank you. (My husband enjoyed his seafood risotto, too. He said it was full of fish.)

I went with a friend who is a coeliac and we both found lots of choices on the menu. I would highly recommend Venezia

Lovely friendly service and good authentic Italian cuisine.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch at Venezia, it's a great little independently run and authentic Italian restaurant. The food was really tasty, well presented and very good value. The staff were polite and efficient and we very much look forward to our next visit.

Always a fantastic experience ! Fabulous menu full of a variety of choices. Attentive ,but not pushy, staff, always prepared to go the extra mile to create a wonderful experience

We loved everything there the staff very friendly and eager to serve. We had 2 x seafood platters well presented and very tasty and cooked to perfection with care. Other food on menu looks and sounds great have to go back to try other dishes. Loved and definitely recommend to go there. Super

The food was excellent, had the Lasagne, it was delicious. The Garlic bread was perfect. My pint of Peroni was beautiful, very cold. Service was first class.

We found this restaurant on Trip advisor. 2 couples travelling from a long distance to meet up for lunch. The staff were brilliant and very considerate. They didn't hurry us to leave. The food was very tasty and good size portions. The mussels were something we would go back for and as for the tiramisu, wow. We all enjoyed our meals. Just as an extra there was easy parking just over the road. Thank you very much for being so patient with us when we took 6 hours over lunch! We will be back if you will have us.

A Gem of a restaurant. Fantastic food, delightful staff lovely ambience.

Food was excellent. Service was great. All 5 of us thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great little Italian place, serving really good food

Great food which large portions. Good selection of veggie food. Brilliant service and reasonably priced.

Highly recommend, great food, great atmosphere.

We were passing by and I had seen some good reviews of this restaurant. We didn’t have reservations but it was early and we were seated anyway. A delicious dinner with wonderful wine and attentive service. Would recommend this to anyone- just make a reservation.

We are fan of Italian food so we tried Venezia last week .delicious food ,really enjoyed the house red wine and the carbonara

Family run italian serving delicious food with a great service,everyone was friendly.Fantastic atmosphere.Recommended!

was here with a group of friends in a saturday evening. The restaurant was buzzing ,and everything was great from the food , and the service . Cozy Italian restaurant . Definitely recommended .

What a gem restaurant! I’ve been at Saturday night. The restaurant was full but our mains and starters came on time, hot and nice. Waiters weren’t intrusive and gave enough attention to every table, they were nice and polite. We finished our meal with delicious banoffee and tiramisu. We will definitely come back! Thank you guys!

Expensive. . Food- ugh! I paid £7.50 for a tomato, 3 thin slices of mozzarella, a rocket leaf one basil leaf & half a teaspoon of pesto . My friends bruschetta had ice in it! When she didn’t eat it she was grilled as to why she hadn’t, and when she explained , was harassed about it. Lamentable presentation. Tables really shoved together. Not good.

Booked table for 7 people , for my partners Mothers 60th birthday. Very respectful and accommodating with the booking . Meal and hospitality, they went above and beyond . Great evening, great food and great cocktails. Highly recommend the best Italian in Taunton.

What a brilliant place for magnificent Italian food. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. The choices on the excellent menu are varied and very tasty. Really enjoyed our meal. The wine was good and reasonably priced. Recommended

Great little place,good food good staff ,just a bit cramped.6 of us ate cost was average £30 each .a good 8 out of 10 ,let down by having a table by the entrance door.

Absolutely delicious food. Very attentive service. Definitely will go back.

Delicious meal as usual and the staff are always attentive and polite. Wish the chef would bottle and sell his marsala sauce.Had the special for dessert good job they brought two spoons.

Pasta and calzzone ok, salmon a la grilla ( which is supposed to be grilled) not impressed at all with it...not to mention the asparagus that was mushy... Service and atmosphere good,nice friendly staff.

I've been here 4 times now. It's that incredible that I was there twice last week. The service is always incredible, the food is always amazing and the portions are absolutely fantastic for the price! Drinks are always topped up, the second the glass is empty, there is always somebody there to ask if you want another. Top notch service for sure. 10000% my favourite places to go for food. I will always recommend Venezia to friends and family! The Anatra Arrosto (Duck breast with cherry compote) is just to die for! Can't wait to come again!

Venezia made my Mums birthday meal out extra special. The staff were so attentive, the food was delicious with a lovely friendly atmosphere. Would 100% recommend. 🤩

Venezia went above and beyond to make our Mums birthday special. Fantastic food, very attentive staff 100% recommend.

Great freshly cooked food and superb service. This is our favourite restaurant in Taunton. I would highly recommend going and checking it out.

My wife and I have been to this amazing restaurant twice in the last 6 months. Amazing authentic Italian cuisine, excellent service, with a lovely atmosphere. The last visit was for her belated birthday. Will definitely be returning very soon.

Went with my girlfriend for my birthday and the food was amazing. Best Italian restaurant in Taunton

This gem of a restaurant never disappoints - indeed, it consistently surpasses anywhere else in Taunton (IMO). Whether it’s just me and my wife, or a larger group of friends, every experience is a delight. Food, wine, service and ambience combine to make each visit into a memorable occasion. Thank you ,to all of this amazing team, for bringing great Italian cuisine and sunshine to our home town.

Great food and good service. We went for lunch after a small quiet wedding and it was really lovely. We will definitely return.

Excellent food as always, lovely atmosphere, the best staff, - love everything about this restaurant- very highly recommended

Absolutely fantastic as always, food was amazing and staff were incredible. This is our go to place as all the family love it and always go home stuffed.

We had a 9yo family birthday that was so successful that the 13yo wanted their birthday meal here too. Food delicious and feels very authentic, atmosphere very friendly. Will love to come next time.

A fantastic restaurant which serves excellent Italian Food and Wines. Service is brilliant and the staff are very friendly. Good value meals with fresh ingredients. Would highly recommend.

Always consistently good , lovely food and staff. Restaurant has a really nice ambience. Always busy but staff always very efficient.

Booked a table for Valentine's day and did not expect anything extraordinary. However we were suprised at the attention to detail which went into both the choice of menu and the ambience. They really do everything well her from the small things to the quality of the food. The service as well is top notch with attentive and knowledgeable staff.

Tasty food, pleasant atmosphere, great service and good price.

I always have a great night out here. The food is always impressive. We would always go back for more. The staff has come to know us.

Nice feeling to the restaurant, lovely food and very good staff. We had shared starters which were excellent, and all had different main meals which were all great. No room for desserts!!

I've been lucky enough to have two meals here in the last month. The food is brilliant - every mouthful is delicious - and the atmosphere is great and lively, whilst still allowing you to talk. The staff are also really fast, polite, and willing, and that's so rare in Somerset! All in all, a great night out, thank you!

Venezia is a really nice restaurant; I had a great salmon ravioli dish, highly recommended. Also a good wine selection.

Great little restaurant. Food is delicious and the portion sizes are good. Staff are always friendly. Would definately recommend. I would advise booking in advance though especially at weekends as it does get busy. We normally ring up the same day just to make sure...

We loved this restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was friendly. The menu is extensive and reasonably priced. It is absolutely worth a visit.

We had a lovely Valentine’s Day meal from an extensive set menu. The atmosphere was great and the service excellent. A red rose for the ladies was a lovely gesture

I m really sorry I have to give just 3 stars. My risotto wasn't cooked properly and we ordered another one just to see if is any different. And it was. Otherwise lovely staff and restaurant.

I had not been to this restaurant before. I always get a bit nervous when I take my mum (used to run a restaurant ) and our friend (who worked in hospitality on cruise ships) we had such a fab experience, service was great, food was fab and I would definitely go back.

A lovely visit with friends. There was a great choice of food, which suited all our dietary requirements. Food arrived quickly, presented beautifully and tasted good. Waiter was very attentive. A lovely experience.
