Venezia in Rushcliffe

High quality food and engaging helpful people made for a memorable evening. Would definitely return.

The food is always amazing and served promptly and the staff are so friendly and can't do enough!

Ah venezia what can I say. You surpassed yourself this evening. Made our wedding anniversary a special treat. The serving team are faultless in every way the food fantastic as always. Grazie Grazie Grazie

Had a great meal and the service was excellent. Would highly recommend to anyone

I've got to say we had the most fantastic meal and service here. The place was packed, the atmosphere was great, only beaten by the standard of food. The team were attentive without being overbearing. Food and drinks came to a very reasonable £250 for 4 which consisted 3 courses and 5 drinks each . One very happy group!!

Great Italian restaurant...reasonably priced...full menu...Great service

Lovely meal with great service. Nice range of dishes on the menu, with good selection of accompanying drinks. I had the prawn starter with meat calzone (love a calzone!) and my wife had the cheesy garlic bread with the lobster ravioli. All dishes were delicious. Would definitely recommend!

They have got it spot on at Venezia. Great premises that gives you a nice first impression inside and out, warm welcome, attentive team on hand from front of house to back and the food was first class. Definitely will be back. Very impressed.

As per previous reviews. What a fantastic place to enjoy good food, with a pleasant atmosphere and wonderful, friendly staff. I had the lamb, which was tender and melted in the mouth. Highly recommended by myself to visit and enjoy the occasion.

Our favourite restaurant - always great food and great service

Our first visit last night which was recommended by friends to celebrate our wedding anniversary, What a great place, greeted at the door by friendly staff,lovely drinks and great food. We will definitely be coming back. Another great evening last night at Venezia, great food,drinks and service.

Fantastic , food and prices are great , service is brilliant

Amazing food and fantastic service. I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. I couldn't find anything to fault, and the food itself was delicious and arrived in a reasonable time.

Visited with family this evening. Fantastic meal, attentive staff and beautiful surroundings and atmosphere.

Daughter’s birthday dinner. Very good. Recommend this restaurant. Will use again when in the area.

Excellent food, Comfortable, chilled atmosphere

Super atmosphere and service! The cuisine is very refreshingly authentic.

Bellissima esperienza abbiamo mangiato domenica un super seabas ritorneremo grazie a tutto lo staff bravoooo chef

Really good food and cocktails. We had mussels / bruschetta for the starter, lasagne / pizza for main and tiramisu for dessert and they were all amazing

Ristorante italiano super !!!! Ho mangiato domenica un super sea bass e buona pasta grazie mille allo chef!!!

Very convivial atmosphere. Food was well presented and delicious. Not sure I’d ever serve calamari with tartare sauce - it really doesn’t work! That said, even without the sauce, the calamari were crisp and tasty. Our meals were generously portioned, and well served. A very pleasant young woman served us, and we would definitely go again.

Been trying to find a good Italian restaurant for months. This place excels. Great place. Great service. Fantastic food at a very affordable price. Will be back very soon

We had a large party for a special birthday meal that we booked in advance and the hosts couldn’t have been more attentive. Everything was 5 star, from the staff, ambiance and most importantly food! Nothing was too much trouble and it made for a really special evening. Perfect

Tasty food on a somewhat limited menu. Wouldn't class it as a seafood restaurant by any means. Somewhat on the high price

Wonderful meal. Service second to none.

Great Italian restaurant, although a bit pricey

I was taken by some friends as a thank you for all the time I spend looking after their property when they are away. They had been before and really hyped it up. I have never been so disappointed in a meal. It was like going to a Michelin starred restaurant and being served something from the local takeaway. The place is beautiful but my meal did not live up to what I anticipated . I know I should have complained but did not want to upset or embarrass my friends. I ordered the linguine pescatore as I love fish of all kinds. I honestly would not have served that in my home. The only flavour was the huge amount of parmesan put on it. The prawns were the miniscule frozen ready cooked ones. There were about 6 small pieces of squid and as for the mussels, there were 9 of which 2 were empty shells, 1 which hadn't opened and the rest minute and dry. There was no chilli, no olives and no sign of caper paste. Don't know where the wine was and about 4 cherry tomatoes. The pasta was over cooked and stuck to itself. I know an espresso coffee is small but I have never had so little coffee in one ever. To say the least this will be my first and last visit.

Beautiful place, fantastic food, and brilliant staff will definitely visit again.

We are regular visitors to Casa, but also visit here . The ambience is stunning here. The setting is beautiful and the food and service is amazing as always.

Lovely place food is Spot on as always, nothing is to much trouble love eating here

Wonderful Restaurant. Always made welcome, and excellent food, service. Strongly recommend.

Amazing!! Loved this place for superb quality food and a lovely atmosphere at a very good price. Cannot wait to go again.

Food and service was adequate but lacked real flavour in both starter and main course! The staff were courteous and helpful! But when the final bill arrived it was unrecognisable! The menu was to say the least complicated! They use a variety of codes with every dish and you need to study the “small print” in every detail!

First time visit to Venezia. When we arrived the place was buzzing will lots outside. We went in a little early and were offered to have drinks before being shown to our table. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The was a little wait for our starters but it was not a problem and the waiter did apologise. The food throughout was very nice, we all enjoyed our meals and had the full three courses. We were offered a complimentary drink at the end that was a lovely touch. The venue is lovely, great vibe very happy to recommend.

Full restaurant, but they managed to fit us in. Service was excellent and the food (Fish Stew) was very good. Would highly recommend.

This resturant delivers a consistence standard of excellence. With attentive service, a brilliant menu catering to all tastes and incredibly delicious food. The venue itself is beautiful with inside and outside dining and it is clear they have great attention to detail making sure every customers needs are met.

Excellent food and attentive friendly staff … lovely atmosphere

Had fantastic food great staff my first visit but definitely going back again very soon

What a gem. A must place to eat. Pleasant staff and very smart. The food was amazing. Will be back. It's over an hour drive for me but it is worth the drive.

Excellent service throughout and the food is delicious, definitely recommend the crab ravioli and king prawn spaghetti both excellent. Definitely worth a visit and we will be back very soon

Amazing food, just wow I’ve been here for my first time and definitely I’ll come back Amazing staf and amazing food Well done guys manager very polite, definitely up to standars. Best Italian restaurant in Nottingham!

Lovely. Not noisy so could enjoy conversation with friends.

As an Italian myself, I decided to visit Venezia after seeing that it won the award for best Italian restaurant in Nottingham. I booked a table for my fiancè’s birthday; ordered a selection of dishes and everything was up to standards, specially the rib-eye and the tiramisu was to die for. We would definitely go back, excellent service! We were very pleased to chat to the manager and owner of the restaurant too. Keep it up guys, great work!

Best Italian restaurant you can get good food brilliant service nice comfortable place nice atmosphere very peaceful

Took my dad here for Father’s Day dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening. Food was delicious, atmosphere was amazing and service was brilliant. Highly recommend!

Lovely building , outside area , fantastic food , very accommodating staff when we had to change the time of our booking after the cricket . We love this place what more can you say .

Visited Venezia for the first time yesterday, it certainly won't be my last. It was well worth the drive from Grantham. Utterly superb 👌

My husband and I went here tonight, customer causing trouble when we arrived but staff handled this very professionally Beautiful meal very attentive staff didn't rush us and great service will be visiting again

Took my dad here for Father’s Day dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening. Food was delicious, atmosphere was amazing and service was brilliant. Highly recommend!

Recommended by a friend and the place didn't disappoint. Excellent food, staff very attentive and surroundings beautiful. Will definitely be back

Love this place one of our favourite restaurants,went with family service very good as usual would all ways go back

Was visiting friends in Nottingham , we came here for dinner and had a lovely meal. Had bread and olives to start with, for main I had the Risotto Vegatariono , both delicious. Great service and nice wine.

Was in the area for the Upper Saxondale Open Gardens event, and when planning the day had intended to do a cream tea while there, and then cook at home that evening. As we wondered round started we to get hungry, and decided to get a midday full meal instead. Having passed Venezia while looking around, decided to give it a try. Ended up sitting outside in the sun and getting the Sunday lunch two courses for £19.95. I had the Lasagne, wife had the Pollo al Pepe Verde, and mother-in-law the Fish Stew. Sharing mouthfuls of each, we agreed that all the meals were excellent, and filling enough that desert choice was determined partially by size, and at least one of them was ordered boxed and to take away. Service was great, and food was tasty, well prepared, and surprisingly filling. Agreed that although it's a little out of the way, we shall definitely return and try some of the other dishes. Very glad we decided to take a chance, and had some of the best Italian food for some time.

We were returning to Venezia for a second time, having had a great first visit, but the service this time was absolutely appalling and we won't be going back. The place was not busy, and there were plenty of staff on duty, but after the initial smiling greeting we had to struggle to get attention and service. The waitresses serving our table regularly leaned over us to deposit plates, interrupted conversations, and unsmilingly asked for items to be passed to them. The meal sizes were disproportionate, with some generous and yet one of the chicken dishes comprising of just a chicken breast and minimal accompaniments, leaving its purchaser hungry. We then waited in vain for our dirty plates to be cleared and for us to be offered coffee, and after a long wait decided instead to leave. This was such a disappointment, and I can only think that complacency has set in?

Always amazing food staff faultless, polite, welcoming and hard working. Go once you will go back. Great value as well. Love this place

Visited this establishment in a party of seven. It is a rather odd looking restaurant externally, more like a school, but inside is a pleasure. Great welcome and superb staff that waited on us. So we all started with three tomato pizza garlic bread, absolutely stunning - £6.95 each. This was followed by 2 x BBQ pizza, yummy, £15.50 each, Penne Alfredo £16.50, Hawaiian pizza £14.95, Tagliatelle Bolognese £14.95, Lasagne £15.95, Meat Calzone £17.50, with sides Tomato and basil salad and french fries both £4.20. We also saved on the two for one offer (parties up to 6) with a saving of £45.95. Diet cokes £3.70, wine £6.95, peroni pints £6.80, J20 £3.90 and an appletizer £4.20. Cappucino and Latte at £3.80 and Americano £3.50. All the food was superb, but as you can see the prices may to some appear a little higher than some eateries, but you do get what you pay for, but the savings made it great value, £175 for 7 including drinks. Highly recommended.
