Italian food is good year-round, but there’s something special about sitting down to a big bowl of hearty pasta when the weather is cold outside that just hits the spot. When you’re in the mood for authentic Italian fare, a trip to Venezia’s is in order. They’ve been a culinary landmark for Italian cuisine in New Orleans for over 60 years, and they’re worth a visit. Let’s check it out.
If you find yourself in Mid-City with a hankering for some good old fashioned Italian food, then a trip to Venezia is in order.
Locally owned and operated, Venezia has been a neighborhood favorite since 1957. Comfortable and casual, Venezia's makes for a great date night spot or a casual family dinner. From the moment you step inside, you'll feel like one of the family.
Their pizzas are some of the best in the city. Cooked in their original stone oven, you can pile yours sky high with all your favorite toppings for a one-of-a-kind pizza.
From their baked cannelloni to their traditional spaghetti and meatballs, you’ll find yourself coming back again and again to try everything on the menu.
