“ Travlin Light Motorcycle Ministry visited Venecia's this past Sunday for our monthly birthday ride. This was arranged by my wife Pamela. We had a wonderful experience. There were about 30 of us and we were taken very good care of by our wonderful server Christine. The food was excellent and a great variety to choose from at a reasonable price. On Sundays they offer a discount if you have a church bulletin. Well worth the visit. We are already put them back on our schedule. ”
“ I had a 90th birthday celebration for my mother. We had a wonderful time. We had 50 in our group. The food was hot and delicious and the service was great. The owner was so nice, he went over and beyond his way to make sure everything was okay or if we needed anything. Our waitress Nicole was outstanding too.!! I will ask for her again. She even offered to help me decorate. I highly recommend VENECIA'S if your having a party and you need a space for a large crowd. ”
“ We are a group of 15 from Phenix City, AL and Atlanta, GA, and on our annual visit to Gastonia, we ALWAYS stop at Venecia. Every visit has been so delightful! The food is 10/10, the service is 10/10, cleanliness is 10/10, and our waitress this visit was 10/10 (LOVE YOU CHRISTY!). This is a restaurant that deserves more business, they are out of this world. A hidden gem. Recommending Venecia to everyone we know! ”
“ I'm soooo happy that I decided to look on Google for an Italian restaurant in Gastonia! We were looking for someplace new to take our friend to for dinner. Their online presence is excellent. Upon walking in, we were a little surprised at how quiet it was ... then we were greeted by Mia. Her broad smile and cheerful attitude were very comforting. Our dining experience was amazing. The chef came to our table to share some ideas about our modification requests and spoke to us as if we were family. The bread was hot, salad was cold and crisp, and our meals were exceptional. None of us were in the mood for red sauce, so they made butter/olive oil/fresh garlic sauce for us. We live within 20 minutes of this establishment, and believe me, we will be back often with friends and relatives in tow. Thank you for giving us something to rave about the entire way home! We look forward to seeing you again. ”
“ We needed a restaurant that could accommodate 50 people. I knew they had a room, so I called and they said “of course!” Three days before our reservation, I found out I needed 10 more seats! I called and Abdul said, “no problem!” So, we got there tonight and it was a well-oiled machine! They had a system to take orders for the family members who weren’t sitting together, the food was hot and fresh, our drinks stayed filled, and the wait staff were friendly and attentive! Thank you, Venecia, for being so awesome! ”
