I had a very wonderful birthday night here. There were five guys celebrated birthdays here at the same time. The people here let me feel at home. We chatted like friends. It was amazing.
When I want to have a happy and wonderful night, I come to visit. I love the guys here. I like the salad so much and also the bread.
Reservation is needed, especially in the weekends. Sometimes in the weekdays, you can just come by to ask. If you are lucky enough, you can get a seat. Enjoy!

You will definitely need reservations! We were fortunate to get a table for two in the bar when we called the day before. Robin took great of us & our food was amazing. Highly recommended when you’re visiting Port A.

This place requires a reservation. We didn’t know. However, we lucked out because a table for two in the bar canceled so we got squeezed in. The food is exceptional. The owners know everyone in town, from what I saw. It is a good vibe, great food, and a very active social place. I loved the duck. It was cooked to perfection with an impeccable texture. The honey and Dijon glacé was brilliant. He loved his seafood spaghetti. The garlic bread was delicious.

We love to eat here whenever we visit Port Aransas. It’s small but cozy. Reservations are highly encouraged. The food is fresh and delicious and the service is fabulous.
There is even a sign on the door saying noisy children will not be tolerated. Unfortunately I do not think the sign is enforced as there was a loud child screeching constantly while we were there. Since the room is so small it does echo a bit so it made it difficult to converse.
Other than that, we always enjoy visiting. I love the pasta and the creme brûlée is superb.

We had dinner here during a recent trip to Port A. I’m not going to lie but I was very hesitatant to go because I’m a picky eater. I am so glad that I did!!! We can’t stop talking about it.
We made reservations because we were told that they book fast. When we arrived there were many empty tables but they were all full by the time we left.
Our table of six ordered three appetizers to share, an entree each and five desserts. We sampled each other’s dishes and every plate with every course was left clean.
We had Paul as our server and Ana as his assistant. They were both excellent! They didn’t rush us, answered all of our questions and gave us the right amount of attention.
We enjoyed the food, the service and will definitely return when in the area. We have already started recommending Venetian to our friends!!!

We discovered this great little restaurant in Port Aransas, while exploring the area. At the recommendation of our very helpful waitress, I decided to go with their signature lasagna dish, an excellent choice. Others in our group chose the ribeye steak, shellfish pasta, both were also excellent choices. Our group also enjoyed a very good bottle of wine. After dinner, we ordered creme brulee, rich and delicious flavor. I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for a nice dining experience.

The most amazing bread and oil/balsamic I’ve ever had! Even better than what I tried in Italy. Very friendly servers, but very understaffed. Need reservations to get in as it’s very popular. Due to understaffing our dining experience took over 2 hours but they gave us a free dessert which we appreciated. Delicious food, pork chop was cooked to perfection and the spinach and potatoes were also perfectly seasoned.

Woowwwww……….what a place!!! Some of the very best Italian cuisine we have ever had, ever. Emerson, our server……fantastic. Small but excellent wine selection. Our only deduction would be that we went on a slow night, with only 4 tables seated, and they put them all together in stead of spreading them out, so we had to whisper as to not be overheard by an adjacent table. This is a huge pet peeve of ours. Other than that, an outstanding meal and exceptional table service by Emerson.

We dine here every Valentine’s Day and they never disappoint! From the delicious Italian dishes to the excellent waitstaff, we enjoy every visit. We just wish we lived closer so we can dine here more often.

As good or better Italian fare as you will find along the Coastal Bend. Venetian has a cozy interior and an excellent staff. From the server’s assistant to the owner, their knowledge of the menu and attention to creating a great dining experience comes through. They serve top notch traditional Italian cuisine as well as a popular pasta seafood dish, lamb chops, duck and much more. Along with regular menu they offer some additional ‘featured’ items. Pictured is lasagna, side salad w/ house dressing. Also recommended: Pescatora, Lamb Chop, and I’m sure more after another visit. Dinner hours only.
