Visited Villa Venezia with friends. As it was lunch time we took advantage of the small dishes which were in fact a very generous portion. The service was excellent with no waiting for our meals the staff were very friendly hope to return soon

By far the WORST spaghetti carbonara I’ve ever had. If that’s supposed to be homemade restaurant quality then they need a new chef or to close up shop. Looks more like it came from Iceland round the corner, and pinged in the microwave! That’s my wheelie bin stinking for 2 weeks then!

Went for a meal for my sons birthday yesterday, not a perfect experience. One member of staff was slightly abrupt, a glass of coke was brought to the table held by the top drinking edge. The starters needed bread as quite oily, you have to ask for bread as it’s an extra. The main course (seafood risotto) was lacking in taste, very much like the rice was precooked and the fish added at the last moment. One of the mussels was off (I know this can happen anywhere) but the waiter just said….oh! Cost was reasonable for what we ordered, although not cheap. Won’t be revisiting, although other customers have given better reviews so maybe it was a one off.

Well what can I say, had high Hope's but was left disappointed, early evening mid week meal and was done in just over an hr, drinks order taken seconds after we sat down, food order taken 5 minutes later, starters arrived within 5 minutes of ordering , starters just ok nothing special had chicken pancakes,fish coujons accompanied by a garlic bread, mains was a tagliatelle dish overly hot ( zapped ) and rubbery, and chicken dish, nothing to accompany it so ordered rice and Saute potatoes. Btl of wine served cold but then placed in a warm wine cooler, no check back from waiting on staff, did mention my main wasnt great to the responce of " oh I will let them know " hmmm what does that mean ? Asked did we want dessert , I declined but before my husband could say a word waiter had left the table, asked for bill on 3 occasions, the bill took longer to arrive than the meal took to eat sorry but wont recommend and wont be visiting again.

Got a take out from here at the weekend and ordered a spaghetti carbenara. Carbenara sauce was clearly split as per picture. It may look like cheese on the pasta but it's actually split sauce so it was completely inedible.Ordered through uber eats who wouldn't refund the cost of the dish so told us to go to the restaurant directly. Have since messaged the restaurant directly through Facebook messenger, nobody has read or replied to the message.Disappointing food and disappointing service safe to say we won't be returning.

The food was ordered as a takeaway through uber eats, I decided to try the lasagne, as it was coming from a well known restaurant I expected it to be good.It was absolutely disgusting, it was very runny, very thin, not too much of it and what was there was runny, watery and tasteless.I sent an email to Villa Venezia but never received a reply, if they had even taken the time to reply, maybe apologise I would not have written this review, but it is just downright rude to not even reply or apologise. Wont ever use them again.

I'm sorry that I've had to give Villa Venezia such a low star rating but I've been left really disappointed tonight. The pasta dishes are clearly just reheated, possibly previously frozen, it's reheated to fast because my dish filling was cold (Cannelloni) the sauce had seperated with being reheated (I assume) so it was all grainy because of the cheese and it was burnt at the bottom and stuck to the takeaway container. The spaghetti carbonara was ok but not what you'd expect from this Italian. I called them about my dish and we did get a refund for the one dish, they were very apologetic and clearly a bit gutted. Im just disappointed, it wasn't what we expected from them.

What you would expect from a Italian restaurant except the carrife of Red wine was very drinkable not the usually vinegar you get. Very Covid safe. The one item to watch if you leave a tip do it in cash otherwise if you leave it on a credit card then the owner does not pass it on to the staff and that includes his son. You should always check with staff if they get it or not.

The food and the “specials” have always been great and I have never had a bad meal here. The gluten free pasta and pizza bases also means a lot of the menu is available to anyone who cannot eat gluten. It is of a consistently good standard and the staff are always very good. Everyone has their own interpretation of what Covid-safe means but I felt safe as I was facing my partner at our table and felt far enough away from other diners not to be concerned.

I wish I had read the previous review of this restaurant before I went.First, the positives: the food was lovely, staff pleasant and friendly, service speedy. Excellent gluten free options.Next, the negatives: this restaurant is not, in my opinion, taking the necessary steps to keep its staff and customers safe during the Covid-19 pandemic. We arrived to discover that the restaurant was full to the rafters with lots of tables packed in next to each other. None of the staff were wearing face masks. Cutlery and drinks were put on the table by the staff whereas in other restaurants I’ve eaten at recently, we were asked to pick up our own drinks and cutlery to reduce the number of people handling items. Staff were squeezing past each other in narrow walkways between tables, chatting to customers face to face at very close distances and standing right over customers to serve black pepper onto their plates. Social distancing was more or less non-existent.I will happily return to this restaurant once the pandemic is behind us but I was horrified by their lack of concern for social distancing and will not be back in the near future as a result. To be honest, the restaurant felt unsafe and I didn’t enjoy the experience of eating there.

Eat out to help out. It is a request from the Prime Minister to get the economy moving. I get it. We are in a new world and need to get used to it. Business has been severely impacted and they need people to get used to going out again to make sure that damage to the economy is limited by us spending on the high street and in restaurants.I have already been out and found many business doing a great job in the new world. Gusto, Otto Lounge, The Farmers Arms, and even my local tennis club.However tonight, from arrival at this well known Wirral restaurant Villa Venezia I had a feeling there would be a problem. The thing is. I have not been there in 20 years. I was going with friends because of the £10 voucher. I see that as my responsibility to help the business's out by giving my custom. However, in return I expect the guidance to be followed, which sadly it isn't here and as a consequence the experience was not positive.1) Had booked a table for 8:30PM and when we arrived found a queue outside. All these people had also booked. Looking inside the place looked packed. All tables full. Eventually we get let in from the rain. People had not social distanced because of the rain and sheltered.2) There was a sign on the inside advising people to stay 1M apart. Now I maybe wrong, but the rule is 1M plus. The 1M element is when protective measures are in place with things like screens. There are NO Screens in here and people are less than 1M away from each other let alone 2M which is the guidance when no measures are in place.3) Our table was not ready so we got asked to stay at the bar. Staff brushing past us all the time and standing over some poor people still eating. Not 2M apart, not even 1M apart. The waiter advised that the booking time was just a guide for them to roughly know how many people are coming.4) Some of the staff had protective shields on. And there was spray by the door with hand gel. I did not see anyone use either in my time there. (1 hour 40 mins).COVID has had a massive impact on business. I get that, and it must be tempting to fill the seats to ensure that profits are recovered. However, if everywhere acted like this restaurant, we would be back in lockdown faster than Leicester. This is short sighted. I want all of the hospitality industry to stay open and thrive, and from what I had seen until tonight, I was convinced they could trade safely. It is however just the small minority that ruin it for the majority. This was the poorest execution of COVID guidance I have seen.I urge the owners to reduce the amount of bookings to make it safe for your customers and staff. The fact there was a queue outside tells us that there was an issue with planning. Also spend some money on screens between tables so that you are applying the true meaning to the 1M plus rule. You cant just stick a sign on the wall and expect to be compliant! YOU ARENT! You are increasing the risk of cross infection.The sad thing about this review is that the food was actually really good. However, we did not feel safe in the environment, and that is the first time we had felt that. I just hope that things improve to keep the business going strong and keep its customers safe for a long time to come.I had attached the link to the Government Guidance but for some reason Trip Advisor did not likely that.

Visited here with family. Haven’t been for a couple of years so we were looking forward to trying it again. We weren’t disappointed. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the food speaks for itself. We all had different starters and mains. The bruschetta was on the special menu and it was so fresh and tasty, highly recommend it! It should be on the normal menu! The ribs and the cray fish cocktail were also given rave reviews by my family. The mains were also gorgeous, especially the king prawn linguini, chicken Pepper Negro, spaghetti bolognese and the Cannelloni All'Italiana. We also shared cheesy garlic breads as a side which were delicious. We managed to squeeze in dessert, the tiramisu and the profiteroles were out of this world. Overall a wonderful evening, gorgeous fresh food, large portions, great price, and a lovely atmosphere with lovely staff. Thank you!!

Any self respecting Italian would be ashamed to serve such vile food. Have you ever eaten a pizza in italy? grim. Total waste of money. 90% of it went in bin. Garlic mushrooms swimming in oil. If you could give a zero I would.

We've visited this restaurant many times and booking is essential as even in the middle of the week all tables are full due to the good food. So, we were ushered to our waiting table when we arrived by the friendly older gentleman. On arrival we noticed a meal deal on board outside but was given a standard menu, we waited for a waiter's attention to ask for the meal deal menu, for the younger taller waiter placing them on the table with no acknowledgement to us, we ordered our drinks and food, to which we decided we ordered from standard menu. Our cheesy garlic bread for starters arrived which was hot and very tasty, as soon as waiter took empty plate away the mains arrived very quickly again very hot and well presented. Our drinks were running low but hard to catch waiters attention to order. When young taller waiter walked past we said excuse me can we order more drinks with the reply "wait one minute please!" we though quite abrupt. He came over but as my partner was still finishing the sentence of "a pint of blackcurrant soda" he walked off returning with a half pint, if he had waited and spent time listening he would of got the order correct! We finished our lovely meal and asked same waiter for the bill please with reply "yes" we waited..... and waited.... the older gentleman approached us with the dessert menu we told him we had already asked for the bill. Eventually the bill arrived we paid and left, slightly dissatisfied with the service which is such a shame as this restaurant is so busy purely through recommendations!

Went on Saturday with a group of friends 10 in all. The ambience upon arrival was already buzzing even though it was quite early. A good choice of starters,mains and dessert to suit all tastes and not over priced and reasonable sized portions. The sign of a good restaurant is the meals coming out at the same time and piping hot. The staff are very welcoming and attentive without being overbearing. A very enjoyable Italian from someone who normally looks for something more Asian inspired.

Last visit to this restaurant was 6 years ago for a farewell meal . Swore I would never go back! . Went again for a colleagues leaving meal , I ordered the chicken in brandy and mustard with rice . The waiter brought me a steak knife , I told him he had made a mistake as I was having chicken . He insisted it was for me and he was right , I did indeed need a steak knife fior the meal and even with that I only just managed to cut it into pieces .NEVER AGAIN , and I mean it this time .

Been going to this place for about 20 years it's always been a favourite. The menu hasn't changed much but if it ain't broke don't fix it. The prices are very reasonable and the staff are always charming. The ribs are the best I've ever had...bar none. Hope it's there in another 20 years

A Prenton institution - a very popular Italian restaurant. A great range of dishes to chose from in fine surroundings. Staff are excellent. Highly recommended.

We had heard good reports of the restaurant so gave it a try last Saturday. We had booked a table for 7.30 p.m. and arrived there at 7.25 and were asked to wait in the bar. After 25 minutes. we were still standing there .Tables were being moved around and cleaned and there was still no sign of us being allocated a table - so sadly we left and never got to try the menu !! We believed that if the staff were so dis-organised with the table allocation - goodness knows what the service would have been like. The staff created a terrible first impression and we won't be re-visiting

Not sure what’s happened since our last order 3 days prior to yesterday but the food was t so great yesterday. The lasagna was a very small portion and covered in a sort of cheese soup. Not appealing. The funghi risotto also was mediocre and was the same pink colour as the lasagna sauce. It lacked flavour. It seems they forgot to use mince or tomato in the lasagna ragu. The pizza was the highlight but not by much. Need to do better for the risottos and lasagna which is the staple of any italian.

Food was great, waiter was helpful and also good fun. But after the mains the wait for desserts was long and the wait for the bill too. Just spoilt what was a tasty meal.

Average service without smail on face , dinner poor quality, food was made from cheap products. Just desert tiramisu was nice . Inside was ok. Bill £50 for this dinner definitely too much should be half price to be honest… nothing special
