Venezia — Restaurant in Bengaluru

Venezia - an all Vegetarian Italian restaurant for a variety of Italian dishes. This one is right up my alley. This was exactly what I was looking for and they have it all...appetizers, soups, salads, pizza, pasta and desserts along with beverages. This was quite a journey from where I stay but it felt good to try something different.

Being a big fan of appetizers I first started with

Bruschetta...my all time favourite and this one dint disappoint. 5/5

Cheese burst garlic bread...nothing unusual like your regular garlic bread with cheese and chilli flakes 3/5

Fresh lime water mix of sweet and salt for the first time someone got it right else it’s either too sweet or too salty...this one was perfect 5/5

Greek salad too much salt in the cheese 3/5

Choco lava eruption for dessert which was ice cream surrounded by gooey chocolate sauce....very messy and boring 3/5

I was quite full with just this. Pizzas are huge and I thought it would be too much and getting it as takeaway wasn’t feasible so I opted out of trying them. However, I did get Caesar salad as takeaway and this was really good… fresh lettuce and croutons and olives good packing with extra croutons so they stay crisp. I had it for dinner and it was fresh as ever! 5/5.

Ambience was simple and spacey. Service is prompt. Peaceful on a Monday noon. Place is pricey so go with your wallet full.

Would I go again? Maybe to try the pizza

Would I recommend to others? Yes, Worth a visit once especially if you craving Italian food and going with a large group.

Overall 3/5

We had been to this restaurant straight for 3 days. The issue we faced was not with the taste or food but was with the management.

There is this one member of the staff who is way too lazy to take the order and in fact, he forgets what a customer had ordered as well. We ordered spring rolls and pizza. After we finished our starter we were reached out by him and he asked us for what our main course order was cz he forgot about it. When we confronted him on what happened he was careless enough o tell that he forgot and he will get the food ready in 5 min. We lost our appetite while waiting for the main course. I so wish the staff was better and responsible enough and not careless in such a good restaurant. The ambience is good but the lighting is not as good and makes u feel drowsy and restless. The waiters serve you promptly only in presence of manager. Otherwise they are least bothered. We feel the reason for restaurant to be deserted most of times is because of the service purely. There is no basin/sink for hand wash anywhere on the ground floor. We have to go to first floor to the restroom each time we need to clean up which was annoying. Once I have also noticed that the waiters just keep staring at us as though we would have received our order. It at least made me feel uncomfortable while eating. I have no complaints on the food. I tried crispy potato, cream of broccoli, Julia Robert’s pizza, nawabi pizza, cauliflower popcorn, Mongolian rice, Thai green curry, spring rolls in the span...

📍 @venezia.blr Venezia, Jayanagar. (from the house of Ambrosia @ambrosia.blr )

Cost for two - 1200 ₹

First up we have this 2 storeyed cute Veg restaurant in Jayanagar!

If you’re bored of eating the usual vegetarian fair and looking for some creative fusion then @venezia.blr is the place!

Undoubtedly for me the two show stoppers were leek & cigar cheese rolls and Crispy Ravioli.(which you shouldn’t miss!)

leek & cigar cheese rolls were unique and brilliant! Melt in the mouth rolls served with some lip smacking dips. Highly recommend this one! I have never eaten something like this before✅

One must not forget their crispy ravioli that was a flavour bomb and was served creatively with excellent dips! Eating this was an experience in itself🥰✅

Needless to say their mocktails were delicious. We tried their Guava Mary and virgin mojito. Both were made with freshest ingredients no artificially flavoured drinks were used😬

I also tried their julia roberts pizza😮 it was a very flavourful thin crusted pizza with the right amount of toppings.

Barbaresca pasta in particular was phenomenal. ❤️

For the main course we had their Mangolian noodles with thai chilli basil rice😋 both of which were equally good.

Last but not the least the desserts! Tried their Bonoffee pie and chocolate lava cake served with icecream were delicious. Not too sweet perfect to the end the meal.

Overall a great experience! 10/10...
