    Where do I begin? A place so near and dear to us since it’s very first location! We were lucky enough to get married there last weekend. Of course, the food was excellent, the staff was unbelievable, the amenities were stunning- all thanks to our coordinator, Ciara, who helped execute the most perfect wedding reception. Ciara was prompt, flexible, commutative, and understanding. I swear I could put her as my emergency contact with how quickly she’d respond to emails. The day was nothing short of perfect. We also deeply appreciated the owner, Frank’s periodic check ins. They were so attentive throughout, making our guests feel right at home. Whether a small dinner, birthday party, or big event- Venuti’s couldn’t be a better venue.

    My son and daughter in law brought me for mother's day. At first we saw the price and were going to go somewhere else but instead decided to stay. There was so much food but a lot of it I couldn't eat because of a gluten allergy, but there was more than enough to fill me up. We had endless mimosas which were included with the meal which was very nice. The prime rib was amazing and the service was excellent!!!! Overall I was very impressed. The facility is beautifully designed and decorated. Overall it was well worth the cost. I just wish more restaurants would cook with gluten free breading and serve gluten free bread. They do make gluten free bread crumbs or I even use corn flake crumbs to bread my meats at home and the kids love it!!!!!

    We had our wedding here on July 3rd and everyone in our party raved about how much fun they had. The food and appetizers were amazing. From the owner, all of the staff there, and especially Ruby, they were all wonderful and everything ran right on time. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Thank you for helping make our wedding a wonderful day.

    We had our baby shower at Venutis and from the start of the process to the end we had a great experience. They were always communicating with us, gave great suggestions and were extremely helpful. Will return and would definitely recommend. The food was delicious!

    10/06/2023 Once again a lovely evening at Venuti’s Ristorante. Starting with our favorite “Italian Antipasto for Two”, fresh Prosciutto, mortadella, capocollo, salami, provolone, several types of Italian olives, fresh dinner chunks of Italian cheese and perfectly cooked and seasoned artichoke hearts. Followed by the bartenders recommendation (Tony) Portobello Mushroom Bruschetta, softly toasted thick slices of Italian bread toped with shrimp, avocado, cherry tomato, drizzled with the finest balsamic glazed vinegar, Totally fantastic! Taking a page from my Italian mother, she would always tell me “enjoy everything in moderation”. So we did, we had dessert! First Limoncello , Refreshing Lemon gelato made with lemons from Sicily, swirled together with limoncello sauce, A refreshing taste to clean your palette, absolutely amazing, it will send your taste buds wanting more. Followed by Profiteroles, Cream puffs surrounded by vanilla and chocolate cream, It satisfies all of your cravings at once. And last but not least, Affogato, which means “Drowned” in Italian, A scoop of vanilla gelato topped/drowned with a hot espresso. This was just another great experience at one of the finest Italian restaurants… Check it out, you will not be disappointed. 09/18/2023 This place is fantastic, the best staff! Kudos to Frank, Joanna & Angela you made our evening special . The food….flavorful, fresh, all of it was absolutely amazing, from the appetizer to the encore meal. The dessert… order a slice of carrot cake, you won’t believe how delicious it can be. The drinks… reasonably price, the bartenders are amazing at making custom drinks. Make it a lovely long evening with your special person, you won’t regret it.

    We had my little sisters Quinceañera at Venutis and we loved everything about it! The whole experience was luxury! Ruby is the best! If you’re planning an event here, Ruby is the girl to go to! She made our experience go so smooth! The place is gorgeous and the food is delicious! The whole staff was so sweet and attended all of our guests in the best way ever!

    The food was great. The staff was great very helpful. The only thing they could improve on was the Bar. They should train 2 more bartenders from the servers. There were only two bartenders serving over 250 people. When they open the bar there were 30 people in each line. They needed more people working the bar when they opened it. They could send them back to serving food when they open the dining room.

    VLounge on the weekends is always a great time! DJ’s are always on point, the servers are friendly enough, although the bartenders could be more friendly— but the drinks are good and strong so I can’t complain much. I also Love the mature crowd too…no ‘21-year-old hangout’ here. We older ones need a place to cut loose at times too and this place fits the bill!

    Wedding Review: My wife and I had the most amazing wedding at Venuti's. Ruby was our point person there and she was fantastic. Ruby made everything seamless. She was receptive to changes, attentive and responsive, and provided contact information of other vendors to enhance our day when it was requested of her. The venue is flexible and accommodated our needs with our big Polish American wedding. Our experience was exceptional. 100/10

    What a beautiful place to have a wedding or event. The marble floors and fountain pool beneath the stairs is impressive. I like the seperate entrance for events and the restaurant. Hopefully the restaurant entrance and bar will receive some updating TLC. The stain on the wood bar stools has actually been worn through from use. There's plenty of room and comfy chairs to enjoy your meal. We arrived on Sunday and opted for the $34.95 buffet. A rarity these days. Wonderful prime rib and Italian dishes abound. A few more deserts would be a benefit but the German chocolate cake and pecan squares were great. Fresh fruit was also nice. All in all, a nice atmosphere that is based on service and friendliness. We actually enjoyed watching the Indy 500 there. They treat you like an old friend. Tony in the bar and Frank, the GM are great. See you soon!

    I just had the honor of holding my wedding at the exquisite Venuti's restaurant and banquet hall, and I can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was. Every part of our special day was wonderfully accomplished, from the excellent Italian cuisine to the impeccable service, leaving us with memories to cherish for a lifetime. Culinary Delights: Venuti's food is absolutely delicious! The menu features a wide selection of delectable Italian cuisine to suit every appetite. From flawlessly cooked steak and chicken cacciatore to wonderful pasta dishes, every plate was a feast of tastes and textures. The cocktail appetizers were equally amazing, with juicy shrimp and savory spanakopita that received rave compliments from our visitors. The bespoke cocktails, such as the masterfully prepared cosmo, refreshing lemon drop, and tempting appletini, brought an extra sense of sophistication and elegance to the event. Venuti's is a spectacular venue that sets the stage for a truly magical event. The beautiful decor and lovely ambiance of the banquet hall create an atmosphere of romance and festivity. Every corner of the venue, whether indoors or outside, has been thoughtfully constructed to provide an unforgettable experience. The meticulous attention to detail in the arrangement, lighting, and general aesthetics results in a picture-perfect setting that went beyond our expectations. Outstanding Staff: A special mention must be made to our contact person, Ciara, who went above and beyond to make our wedding day really unforgettable. Ciara was unrivaled in her warmth, professionalism, and great communication abilities. From the beginning of the planning process to the event itself, she was attentive, responsive, and accommodating to all of our needs. Service: That was nothing short of perfect by the Venuti's employees. From the attentive waitstaff's warm welcome to their professional and courteous treatment throughout the evening, we felt like kings. The scheduling of the courses was flawlessly organized by the personnel, ensuring that each item was presented on time and at the optimum temperature. Their attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond exceeded our expectations. Memorable Experience: Our wedding at Venuti's was an unforgettable event that will live on in our hearts forever. A fantastic night was produced by the mix of excellent cuisine, a magnificent venue, exceptional staff, and impeccable service. Our guests were enthralled by the ambiance, the food, and the level of care and professionalism demonstrated by Venuti's. I highly recommend Venuti's restaurant and banquet venue for any special occasion. Their superb Italian cuisine, magnificent setting, exceptional staff, and unsurpassed service will make your event absolutely unique, whether it's a wedding, anniversary, or any other celebration. Allow them to exceed your highest expectations by putting your trust in their knowledge. Venuti's is an excellent choice for a spectacular event that will make an indelible impact on you and your guests.

    Wedding: 2/23 Ruby works wonders! She is one of the reasons my wedding came together, she is very thoughtful about her work. I had the pleasure of meeting with Frank the owner, and he is great. Frank was realistic and honest and his genuine nature is beyond valuable especially when it comes to weddings when you feel the entire industry takes advantage. I could not thank Venuti's enough! They made my wedding spectacular, and people raved about my food. Every guest I spoke to made the same joke: "Maja I cant fit into my dress/suit, the food is amazing"! That is exactly what I wanted to hear, and I am beyond thankful that Venuti's has topnotch food and service. I have attached here photos of my wedding. I used Yanni Design Studio (Decor), Bart Galbas (Photographer) and Diana's Bridal (Dress)!

    We visited this establishment for a wedding, and while pretty typical, it was still beautiful. The ceremony room was tight with the number of chairs, wedding party including bride and groom, DJ and minister, but the ceremony was quick so we were alright. The tall windows allowed for natural sunlight to illuminate and warm the rooms. The restroom was clean and stocked with tissue, paper towel and hand soap. The reception room was spacious with a dance floor, and the head table was its own centerpiece. The ceiling and window sashes caught my eye. This detail stood out compared to all of the other banquet halls I’ve visited for wedding. It was lovely. The food (salad, pasta, steak, potatoes, seasonal vegetables) was delicious. We left out to get some fresh air so missed dessert and even when we came back we weren’t offered any ::sad face::

    Venuti's was the absolute best location for our wedding! Ruby was so great through the planning process - from the first meeting through the day of our wedding. The reception hall is absolutely beautiful from the double staircase to the ceremony room, and banquet room. We could not have received better service from the crew with us that night, they kept a close eye on how we were doing, but our guests and vendors as well. The food was absolutely INCREDIBLE and having the option of allowing our guests to order their meal when they sat down was amazing. Love that alcohol and our cake was all included and made a lot of details a lot easier. We would choose Venuti's over and over again and cannot state how much we enjoyed working with this team.

    I've had the privilege of shooting two weddings here in 2022. Both times the experience was nothing short of exquisite. From the professionalism of the staff to the gorgeous interior that makes for wonderful imagery, Venuti's is fabulous. The staff take great care of their brides and grooms. And the décor and ambiance ensure you're in for a most unforgettable reception (or any event you may host there). My hats off to everyone at Venuti's for the services and location they provide. Here's to years of continued success for this top-notch venue.

    Recently had our wedding at Venutis and wow I couldn’t not be happier with how it turned out. Ciara was a true pleasure to work with getting everything ready for our day. She made it such a breeze. The venue was so meticulously prepared for our day. The wait staff did such an amazing job at each table making sure each guest was well taken care of. I couldn’t recommended Venutis enough for anyone looking for a wedding venue.

  • 5/5 Cindy Zahn P. 1 year ago on Google
    Outstanding. We celebrated a family's 75th birthday, Venuti's made it a huge success! Frank made planning from out of state a breeze. We were set up in the restaurant, with plenty of room for our 65 guests. The food was incredible, service was friendly and great. They constantly made sure we were happy and we had everything we needed. I highly recommend Venuti's to make your event a success.

    Sweety Dream had the pleasure of working as a balloon artist and florist at Venuti's Italian Restaurant & Banquet Hall, and it was an incredibly enriching experience. This establishment radiates an inviting ambiance with its elegant setting and warm hospitality. My role allowed me to infuse vibrant energy and creativity into events hosted at Venuti's. The management at Venuti's Italian Restaurant & Banquet Hall fosters a supportive environment that values creativity and professionalism. The positive feedback received from clients and guests about the balloon artistry and floral arrangements was truly heartening. It was fulfilling to be a part of an establishment dedicated to delivering exceptional experiences and creating lasting memories for everyone who walked through its doors. Sweety Dream is grateful for the chance to contribute to such a wonderful venue and be part of its commitment to excellence in events and hospitality.

    Amazing customer service! The food was delicious too. The portion size that I received for my meal was so much that I had leftovers. Our waiter, Anthony, was courteous, and he made sure that we had what we needed. All of our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. I look forward to my next visit.

    I had my wedding here on May 7th- it was an absolute dream- everyone said it was the best wedding they have ever been to- Karen was amazing and wonderful to work with- Thank you again for making my day so special!

    Their brunch buffet was so subpar. I went on Sunday, 9/18/21 with my family, and several of their buffet options were altogether not present (just empty spots with placards). Moreover, so much of the food was low-quality, not warm/hot, or overall, just tasted like it was frozen then cooked earlier that morning. While they had a carving station, no one was attending it. Even after waiting several minutes, I decided to cut the meat myself. I personally don't enjoy buffets, but my family insisted on going and had heard great things about Venuti's. While their main menu might be more appealing/higher rated, I would not recommend their brunch buffet *ever*. It is 100% not worth their ridiculous price of $27.95 per person for this quality of food. Save your money, don't overeat, and go somewhere else where you can order a higher quality dish and a drink for roughly the same (or lesser) price.

    We were there on 7/14/21 for the Brunch! It was fantastic, I would recommend the restaurant to anyone who wants a wonderful meal or Brunch! Fantastic staff, friendly and helpful. My husband had peppers and sausage and he is still talking about them. We are looking forward to coming back in the near future. Thank you for a great experience! Pat Smith

    We had the pleasure of hosting a family event here today. The owner and staff were beyond accommodating, friendly, and professional. And the good was absolutely delicious. What a gem of a location. This is a fantastic local business and somewhere you should just go to for the experience. Highly recommend

  • 5/5 J D. 2 years ago on Google
    They opened the lunch buffet back open and is a great selection of food to stuff yourself with. It's great!

    I've been here several times for DJ events but this was the first time I went to have a sit down dinner and they had a band "Moods" there and we had an INCREDIBLE time. The owner was welcoming and mentioned that Friday nights have live oldschool bands that play feel good Motown/R&B party songs. (Michael Jackson, Prince, Lionel Richie, 4 Tops, etc.) The food was incredible and the server Ashley was checking on us on time all night! Great atmosphere. Will def be back!

    I definitely recommend Venuti’s for your wedding! We had our reception here on 7.23.21 and it was absolutely beautiful!! Their packages include more than you could ever dream of! SO much great tasting food and awesome bar package! The main reasons I went with Venuti’s over other places was I loved the beautiful space it offered for a reception, the food was delicious, and the package included a 6 hour open bar, which is really good compared to other places, who usually only offer about 4 hours. Ciara handled the booking and coordinating for our reception and she was AMAZING!! I can’t say enough good things about her! She made the whole booking process so easy and she explained everything so well and answered the million and one questions that I had had. She was so accommodating and willing to work with us, our budget, and guest count. She was the best at helping us deal with the struggles that COVID through into our planning process and completely took the stress away when dealing with the unknowns and uncertainty during the time that was leading up to our big day. I can’t imagine booking our reception with anyone else but Ciara, especially during COVID times. She was so great at getting back to my emails in a timely manner and was always willing to help answer any questions. She was also so flexible when dealing with constant changes I made throughout the planning process. Venuti’s also handled everything we needed as far as setting up of even the little things like guest book, place cards, etc. as well as tear down after the reception was over. It was so nice knowing that we, the bride and groom, were not responsible for those things, since you normally have a million other things to do and worry about. I loved the champagne greeting they offer to your guests as they arrive and the cute cocktail bar that was included during cocktail hour. We were able to customize some of the names of the cocktails which was super cute and fun! Every detail of our reception was absolutely beautiful and the food and drinks were some of the best I have ever had out of all other weddings I’ve been to. Your guests will definitely not leave hungry! I had so many friends and family tell me how our reception was one of the nicest and most elegant weddings they have ever been to! We had so much fun on our big day and wish we could do it all over again! I wouldn’t hesitate to book your wedding here at Venuti’s, you will not be disappointed!

    Reviewing from my wedding: WOW!! Absolutely fantastic!! Venutis did an amazing job and did everything perfectly. The bartender was very friendly, the staff was efficient and attentive.

    We threw a surprise anniversary party for my brother and sister-in-law here last month. I wanted to make sure to write a review after having such an excellent experience at Venuti’s. Ruby Perez was exceptional to work with. She was professional, polite, very response & attentive to our requests. It was nice to have Mr. Venuti drop in on some of our planning meetings. I appreciate an owner who is actually involved in his business. The venue was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the service staff were great. We had a minor issue with the mic, but that was resolved very quickly. My family & I were very impressed! I would recommend this venue & restaurant to anyone! Thank you to everyone at Venuti's for helping us make our day so special!!

  • 5/5 Enrique D. 2 years ago on Google
    It was an awesome place. I came here for a wedding celebration. Staff were super friendly. It s beautiful venue too. The fountain and art is one of a kind. We had the chicken, beef and fish. All dishes were good with a nice polish twist. The red bulls were expensive at the bar though. $6 for 10 oz is not fair.

  • 5/5 Antonella S. 2 years ago on Google
    I am in from NY for a wedding. I ate here last night. And I must say the mixed grilled seafood for two was amazing. The lobster perfectly cooked. The rack lamb was delicious. I loved that they had a few slot machines in there. Made my evening even better....

  • 5/5 lilacangel b. 1 year ago on Google
    Went to a wedding, hosted in one of their banquet halls. The atmosphere was amazing and the food delicious! Staff were wonderful, and friendly. If you intend to grab a drink at the bar, PLEASE be careful not to drop [or throw] your glasses into the fountain. Although I did get a laugh from having my pensive gazing into the fountain interrupted by the realization that I had been staring at a very lonesome cocktail glass sat at the bottom like a sunken fish. 🙂
