Cafe Venice

Good food. Stopped in for the lunch scallops before a football game. Fairly price and good flavor. I’d be open to trying other items. Nice small bar inside.

Hadn't been there in a while. Had a new bartender I think I heard his name was Shane - he was excellent. Service was great, food was great, had the chicken marsala. Bar area was very busy - nice to see them doing well.

Out of all the places I have had fried clams from NH to Cape Cod this was the best! I got a clam roll and couldn't see the roll! I'm visiting the area from Florida and this is the second time I've eaten here with friends.

Great place! Food was delicious and plentiful. Sat in the bar area. It was busy and full of local folks. Waitress was awesome and so were other staff. Will def be going back!

Local family owned restaurant and bar. The newish owner (a longtime employee and bartender) really has done a fabulous job updating the restaurant and lounge areas. The menu still boasts some of the better prices in the area, especially the Prime Rib. On this visit I went for the chicken parm. It was great. I highly recommend this dish. Over the last few years, I have tried most of the dinners and specials and have never been disappointed. On a final note, all the updates that have been made have not changed the atmosphere.

Service was very fast and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. Got the lobster roll which only had a tiny bit of mayo and was perfect! Crock of French onion soup was also fantastic

My family went to Cafe Venice while I was at work and brought me home eggplant parm and onion soup. It was absolutely fantastic. The prices are cheaper than anywhere in the area and the portions are massive. My son said it was the best dinner he's had out with his dad. Stop in and have anything. You can't go wrong.

I'd heard about this place for years and years from buddies of mine who would go there after work for drinks. They'd rave about the food. I finally broke down and gave it a shot awhile back and can't say enough about it.

Prime rib is easily among the best I've ever had. No exaggeration. The servings are huge and the price can't be beat. Ownership and staff are super friendly and bend over backwards to take care of you. It's almost like you feel like you're the only people in the place even when the place is full. You're never left waiting or wanting for anything. There's always someone available to take your order or get you another beer or whatever you want.

I love the place. Please, please, please get a take out container that'll fit the King cut prime rib. Lolllll. And please put an updated menu out there that's easier to find online besides faceboook or google.

Great service, super-friendly staff. Nice hidden hole-in-the-wall type restaurant you'd drive by a million times (like me). Finally got around to trying yesterday with my girlfriend. I ordered the King Cut Prime Rib (medium-rare) which was excellent, didn't even get close to putting a dent into the thing and was really pleased with how it was cooked to perfection. My girlfriend ordered the Shepard's Pie which she enjoyed and said tasted really good. Our salads we're included and tasted very fresh. Will definitely be back to try some of their more traditional Italian dishes, and definitely another Prime Rib!

Good food, excellent service, ate in bar/lounge for lunch with friends
I prefer small local eateries to chain restaurants.

We ate in the bar area which was clean and friendly. We had chicken parm, baked haddock and shrimp cocktail. All were great. To top it off we had carrot cake which was the best that we've ever had in a restaurant. It's not made in house. I should've asked from where. The service was excellent.

We went for my grandmothers 90th birthday. We had a party of 9 and service was flawless! A bit slow but food was perfect not one single mess up. Food was hott and delicious and our server was polite. Highly recommend.

A "hidden gem" where you literally get quality and quantity, and at a great price-- which is hard to come by, usually you don't get all three. Very good chicken and veal parm, their prime rib is huge, and their fried seafood is excellent as well. Highly recommend.

Had the belly clams plate. Fried light not greasy. They were very good. My friend ordered the seafood plate. She loved it. Going back right away. High recommendation

Well done! Well, I like my steak tips medium but they were great! Friends recommended I go and I'm glad I did.

I had fried clams in a couple of beverages. The owner was very accommodating and friendly. The food was delicious and abundant. I took my leftovers for a complete 2nd meal. I will certainly be back.

In regards to Stephens post that is not what happened. The customer complaining about his steak never even cut into it. Then proceeded to swear at a 14 year old bus boy. This is NOT the first time this customer has made other minors cry because of his attitude and bad language. Yes the owner was called up from working in the office. NOT drunk. Angry yes for a customer verbally abusing a minor. Yes they were asked to leave. Once again this was not the first time. When the owner went to give him back his change. The customer told the owner to stick it. The owner did say to the customer that now he has made two minor females and a minor male cry and that he hopes he was proud of himself. The customer did want to apologize after the fact but the bud was to shaken up. Once again this was the third time this has happened with the same customer.

Hidden gem in Norwood! Food is delicious and portions are generous. Along with that, the atmosphere is comfortable and the staff is great, accommodating and friendly making you feel at home. Definitely recommend it!

Good food. Great service and atmosphere. If you enjoyed prime ribs just like I, this is the place to try it out.

Great food good service
