My fiancé took me here for my birthday and we had such a lovely dinner. The service was accommodating and very friendly from the start. The food tasted great, and the atmosphere had a homey feel. If you love wine, they have an amazing selection. I would definitely come back for the reasonable prices and how great everything came out!

My husband's work Christmas party was hosted here. I thought the vibe here was amazing. It was decorated really cute! The service was perfect and the wine I had my waitress pick for me was delicious! My chicken was super dry and I almost choked on it swallowing. But, other than the dry chicken everything else was great. The meatballs were yum. Their bread was good. The fettuccini Alfredo was yummy too. I would come back for sure if I'm ever in Midland again. Oh, and I would suggest offering sweet tea too. Unsweet tea in Texas should be illegal. 🤪

Everything about Venezia was great during our visit! We made a reservation and were able to be seated immediately upon arrival. Our waiter Ruth did not hesitate in bringing our drinks and helping us with the menu options. She was awesome! Our food was prepared quickly and accurately. I don’t understand how people can complain about the lack in taste when it’s an Italian restaurant, they don’t season and spice your food like every Hispanic restaurant you visit in the south. Personally, we loved the taste of Venezia and were able to enjoy a new variety of combination of textures and flavors. One last note on the food: Venezia is the only restaurant in Midland/Odessa where I’ve ordered a medium rare steak and actually received a medium rare steak! The dessert was nothing short of delicious, I even told my wife that I want to order an entire German Chocolate cake from here for my birthday! We were expecting to pay twice as much as we did and we’re fairly surprised with how low the bill actually was. All in all, it’s a great restaurant that I can’t recommend enough!

Nice upscale Restaurant ordered a Tomahawk great Place for a date. Must go for anyone wanting to wine and dine. Make Reservation prior to arrival or your not getting in. Outstanding service Try going it’s worth the experience.Baller status only. One other thing missing is some music.

I recently dined at Venezia Restaurant, and the atmosphere transported me to the charming countryside of Italy. The welcoming ambiance made the experience enjoyable. However, I found it puzzling that they served water in wine glasses. The food, showcased beautifully in pictures, was generally impressive. The avocado and lobster appetizer, paired with a creamy cheese soup, was a delightful start, though the lobster was slightly undercooked, making it a bit chewy. The spaghetti and meatballs were delicious, but I wished for more sauce and a slightly balanced ratio of spaghetti. Despite these minor critiques, the overall dining experience was really good. The attentive service, with the server keeping a watchful eye on us, added to the positive atmosphere.

At first when we arrived we had reservations for my fiances birthday, to which they kinda seated us in the middle of everything/everybody so we were bummed at first but I mentioned to our waiter if we could have more of an romantic table he promptly sat us at a fantastic area to ourselves table out of the way. So for starters this place is extremely Accommodating. Secondly everything we ate was fantastic for a small Italian place in the heart of midland so very surprising, awesome beautiful interior as well. The wine, the food, the service was all fantastic and I don’t take that lightly so it was extremely refreshing knowing there is a very good Italian place in town. To top it off for her birthday they included a free dessert which brought one appetizer, wine, two entrees out to only 60 something dollars which is a fantastic price I would’ve paid way more for the same Quality and service and tipped the server the same amount of bill because of his fantastic service. Honestly this place is a hidden gem, will be telling more about it for date nights and more!
