Venice on Vine is a long-standing nonprofit establishment in OTR focused on helping provide work and reform for individuals facing barriers to employment, such as incarceration. And so, it is one of the few eateries in OTR truly focused on improving social good.
The service is very friendly, the food is basic Italian fare (subs, pizza, pasta), and the prices are very reasonable. It's not the fanciest food in the neighborhood, but that's also not the point. The prices are very reasonable for what you get and everyone is very polite.
They provide lunch service 6 days a week and dinner service 2 nights a week.
We really need more small, local, value-based places like this in the neighborhood (and the city) vs another expensive place from the big restaurant...
Read moreAbsolutely terrible, slow service. We ordered 4 waters (there were four of us, 2 couples) and the waitress came back with two glasses and set them between the couples (did she expect us to share???) We had to ask for two more! When I asked about the gluten free pizza (on the menu) the waitress checked with the kitchen and said they had it. A while later the other couple had their food brought out. An HOUR goes by and we ask about ours at the counter. THEY DIDNT HAVE ANY GLUTEN FREE PIZZA AND WERENT EVEN PLANNING ON TELLING US. They started making my husband and I salads that we didn’t even order. We told them to forget it and walked out. The absolute worst restaurant experience I have ever had. I have no idea how this place is still...
Read moreGreat little place in OTR. Visited beginning of December and it’s was busy. Sarah girl at front was very friendly and handled things wonderfully. I ordered 2 pepperoni pizza slices and it was so good wished I had ordered a full pizza. The crust was just right not undercooked or burnt. The cheese and pepperoni was in abundance. This place has pizza and pizza by the slice. They have many other foods I will be back to try.
Clean dining area . They do close early sometimes doesn’t seem to be a set open or close is only complaint . Aside from the one girl I could hear cursing in the back when I 1st came in. Still 5 stars as the food was great and I know management can not control everything...
