In Short
With a splendid view of the Boston Skyline, Venezia is a popular celebratory spot for Dorchester, Southie and Quincy family occasions and office get-togethers. Deviations from the traditional menu include bourbon-glazed short rib, French onion soup and an entree of seared halibut with fresh lobster meat in a citrus broth. Fans of old school fare enjoy faithful intrerpretations of fettuccini alfredo, lobster bianco and veal saltimbocca.

Key Points

  • Beautiful Boston Skyline Views
  • Award Winning Executive Chef
  • 400 Event Guest Accommodations

The Inside Scoop

  1. Look Good - It's usually dress-up time, so don't wear beach attire.
  2. The Extras - No map will get you here unless you know local roads. At Neponset traffic circle (I-93, exit 12), follow the ramp for I-93 North. Make a sharp right just before joining the Expressway, and follow the Venezia signs.

Venezia is Best of Boston for Wedding reception

by BREIGE K.

Been in the restaurant many times, always great food and service, but just recently attended our first wedding reception there.Excellenf food, excellent service, beautiful location for photographs, easy convenient parking, no idea how much wedding costs, but worth checking out if you want a waterfront location

GREAT place!

by F W. | insider Insider | Rank: 18,492

Venezia is an excellent choice, whether coming by boat (yes, you can come by boat and dock for a wonderful evening) or by car. They have great views, a nice ambiance both in the bar and table-side and excellent food! The Scallops and Shrimp Fra Diavlo is out of this world, along with the Lobster Bruschetta. (Sometimes these are a special order...you may not always see them on the menu, but ask.) I have had quite a few wonderful evenings here. Their banquet facility, which is separate, is absolutely gorgeous too. Very spacious and a nice layout. They put on a good wedding! Well done!

WOW!!!!!

by Celts

This is an unbelievable restaurant right on the water. This place has some of the best views in the city. The menu is great and they have an extensive wine list to complimnet it. They also have a huge private party room. I highly recommend this place, if you do go make sure you check out the winery across the street.

Pros: wine list, views

Cons: nothing

Why travel to Italy?

by swolf441

With one of the most breathtaking views Boston has to offer, the Venezia restaurant will please the senses as well as the palette. I have never left unsatisfied. We make this our monthly night out and my office regularly holds functions there. Even with it's new renovation and function facility, Venezia retains it's high quality of service. And as far as the food goes.......You would have to travel to Italy to dine any better. We give it a 10!

Pros: portions, view, parking

Cons: hard to find
