"This is a 10 start restaurant. It was such an exceptional experience for me. The ambience is just authentic and very intimate. The waiters are very knowledgeable on the menu and I was shocked at how long they have been there they truly care.
The food was just amazing, fresh and delicious made fresh to order. The wine samples were generous I was confused if that was the actual serving or a sample.
The service was fast and efficient. There was plenty of parking and place was easy to get to.
Now at the owner came to say hi. Since I was the last customer of the day he had time to share details and even gave me a tour of the restaurant.
I would highly recommend this place 👌. It is easy to get to and has plenty of parking. The best I've been to in this side of Florida."

"Last night, 22 residents of the Venetia Community had a delightful culinary experience! We had a private room, great service and the food was absolutely delicious! As the organizer of the group dinner, I communicated with Caesre Valenti, who was absolutely wonderful and very accommodating. Valenti’s actually had its roots in the Italian district of Hartford. CT and then moved its restaurant to Venice over 30 years ago! A big thank you to Caesre and his staff!"
