Editorial Review for Venezia Restaurant – by Jason McCann
The Scene
Time travel, without the machine. The front room's lighting is subdued by a burgundy ceiling. Old paintings of the mother country (some crooked) line the walls. Patrons are local families with huge appetites.
The Food
Count on the same traditional Italian cooking Venezia has prepared since 1947. Portions are enormous and filling. Seafood, veal, chicken and pasta dishes comprise the four-page menu. And the thin crust pizza is smothered in mozzarella. For a huge, yet very satisfying selection, try the trout Cynthia: flaky, light trout covered in a thick dill cream sauce with shrimp and crawfish and an unbutton-your-belt plate of spaghetti with red sauce on the side. Another winner is the eggplant Vatican, a fried eggplant shell filled with shrimp, crawfish and crabmeat in a dill cream sauce and served with a fettuccine Alfredo side.

Good news! Venezia has reopened for lunch and dinner! The restaurant has been renovated, but has retained its neighborhood atmosphere and charm. The food is as good as always and the service is just as friendly as before Katrina. I have been three times since they reopened and plan to have lunch there today!
Pros: Good food at reasonable prices.
Cons: Parking can be tough if the Robert's lot is being used by film crews or whatever.

Excellent Italian food, great service without the price tag. The eggplant vatican is out of this world.
