Now in its 27th year, Venezia is an Italian restaurant that has become a Berkeley institution acclaimed for its great food, value and atmosphere. Venezia's menu features a wide assortment of fresh pasta, meats and fish, a moderately priced wine list, full bar and weekly specials created under the able hand of chef Cindy Deetz.

All this is served in a charming interior that invokes an Italian piazza with floor-to-ceiling murals, a central fountain, hanging laundry, wrought iron balconies, and even roosting faux pigeons! Venezia is child friendly and has a warm, personable staff. Parking is available on the street, or in our lot behind the restaurant .
